EspañolJULIETTE GRéCO
(Redirected from Juliette Greco)
'Juliette Gréco' (born February 7, 1927) is a French actress and popular chanson singer.
Juliette Gréco was born in Montpellier to a Corsican father and a mother active in the ''Résistance'', in the Hérault ''département'' of southern France. She was raised by her maternal grandparents. Gréco also became involved in the Résistance, and was caught but not deported because of her young age. She moved to Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris in 1946 after her mother left the country for Indochina with the French Navy.
Gréco came to be one of the stars of the bohemian "in" crowd of post-war France. She embodied the disenchantment and poverty of the French intellectuals following World War II. Gréco dressed all in black and let her long, black hair hang free.
A famous description of Gréco is that her voice "encompasses millions of poems". She was an inspiration to many of the writers and artists working in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Boris Vian. Some of these artists would write songs for her to sing.
She fell in love with and almost married Miles Davis when he visited Paris in 1949.
She was married to French actor Michel Piccoli (1966-1977).
