Caron starred as Gigi in the film of the same name, which was later adapted into a Broadway musical (a rare film-to stage transfer). She also starred in "An American in Paris," for which Lerner wrote the screenplay.

The benefit performance is at 7 PM at the Herbst Theatre. 401 Van Ness Avenue, in San Francisco. A cocktail and light buffet reception follows at the War Memorial Veteran's Building's Green Room.
