The official poster for the 2017 Cannes Film Festival was probably the biggest scandal in the history of this prestigious competition. The photo showed a legendary actress from the previous century, Claudia Cardinale.

The Cannes Film Festival organizers thought that Claudia Cardinale didn’t match up with our modern day beauty standards. Interestingly, Claudia Cardinale herself didn’t see anything wrong with this. “The photo was edited in order to make me look like the woman of someone’s dreams.
