Canada's Perdita Felicien smashed her lifetime best with victory in 12.53 seconds to upset gold medal favourite Brigitte Foster. |
Perdita felt that she had undervalued Marions audacity and resolution, not to speak of her unscrupulousness. |
Her taste for wearing loose, diaphanous, white muslin dresses, adopted from Marie Antoinette, gave rise to what became known as the Perdita chemise. |
She can live, like Perdita, in her garden of mint and marigold. |
First released in 1961, the film follows the adventures of hound dogs Pongo and Perdita whose litter is stolen by the evil Cruella de Vil. |
