LEARN’d – The Taxi Cab Confessions of Capucine Deveroux

In the name of Chicago legend Capucine Deveroux, aka Caprice. Whether you had to sneak and watch or were old enough to tune in, Taxicab Confessions was the HBO hidden-camera series capturing real passengers spilling their own tea, from 1995 to 2006. It was messy, intimate, and occasionally profound. The show brought realness to the early era of reality TV, building its following on a mix of spectacle and sincerity.
In a six-minute segment, Capucine delivered a masterclass in candid charisma. Sharp, witty, seductive, and deeply self-aware, offering a glimpse into the life, love, lust, and lessons of working girls navigating survival and desire on their own terms.
Outside the cab, Capucine was a working performer in both Chicago and Las Vegas, balancing nightlife with a career as a makeup artist. Her credits included work on films like Two Can Play That Game and Love Don’t Cost a Thing, adding another layer to a life that moved fluidly between visibility and invisibility, glamour and grind.

We recently learned of her passing earlier this year, but legends like Capucine are etched into cultural memory.
