Françoise Hardy

French singer, composer and actress ; born 17 January 1944 in Paris

She left the Petit Conservatoire in Mireille, played the guitar and wrote songs. Her sober style - Saint-Germain-des-Près - wasn't what the day called for but for the young ones who were not allowed to go out at night or who had to take lessons in violin and cornet, she became a heroine. Even more - the beautiful French singer was the chanteuse once adored by Mick Jagger!

Françoise Hardy said about Serge Gainsbourg: "Ce qui me sidère c'est que personne n'a lu Eugénie Sokolov ou alors en se braquant sur l'histoire du peintre pétomane sans aller plus loin, sans percevoir sa dimension de conte parabolique. Je l'ai dévoré, j'ai été époustouflée par le langage. Serge ne croit pas tout à fait en lui, il a toujours ce complexe de l' art mineur."
