Thank heaven for little girls! They turn up with the most delightful daughters. Jennifer Hall, 24, does not even mind being told how much she resembles her famous mother. “I take it as a compliment,” she says. The daughter of Leslie Caron and Sir Peter Hall, she once worked at England’s National Theater, where her dad is boss, but had to come all the way to Hollywood for a chance to perform with her mother. The star of Gigi and other effervescent films lives in Paris but agreed to appear on Love Boat, which cast the two, fittingly enough, as a mother-daughter team in a just finished episode. They play “a pair of crooks,” Jennifer explains. “My mother was a kind of cardsharp. I was the bait.” It says something for Mom that at age 54, she could have pulled off the bait part too.
