19-year-old Francesca Eastwood is a burgeoning reality TV star--her show, Mrs. Eastwood and Company, airs on E!--and, most notably, the daughter of screen legend Clint Eastwood.

It is kitsch to its core, and it is wonderful. It broke the careers of ABBA, Celine Dion, France Gall and Gina G and made “Nel blu di pinto di blu” (the song you may know as “Volare”) an instant international classic.
