ANNIE FRATELLINI


How could you not be instantly taken in by this character?

She's got to be one of the most naturally engaging clowns of all time.

  1. This is a very old photo of Annie, before she started to use the fright wig; this wig was a regular one Pierre Etaix, her husband, fixed for her. Later on Annie changed her nose too and started to use a red one. According to her autobiography, the coat and the clown shoes came from a flea market, and her grey derby hat was bought in London...

  2. I saw one picture of her in a book nearly thirty years ago, and I've had a crush on her ever since!

  4. Hello,

    I am compiling a timeline on contemporary circus and I need a photo of Annie Fratellini. I know it's a long shot but does anyone know who owns the rights to this photo or indeed any image of her as a clown?

    Help would be much appreciated!

    Jenny
