Story
An acclaimed French singer whose sensual stage mystique and doleful voice bewitched audiences for more than six decades and made her an international star.
Onstage, she was wild, tangled tresses, kohl-rimmed eyes, sleek black pants and turtleneck sweaters.
“You moonbathe while others sunbathe,” Pablo Picasso reputedly told her, a reference to her alabaster skin against her jet-black ensemble.
She died at the age of 93, one of the last links to Jean-Paul Sartre and other existentialist intellectuals who made her their muse in the post-World War II bohemia of Paris’s Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood.
