Her name was familiar to us when we were children. But what about her? We did just now the song "J'ai deux amours: mon pays et Paris...."

 

Last week I recorded a kind of biography of hers from arte.

 

She was made an African jungle-girl, though she had nothing to do with Africa, being born in St.Louis, USA.

 

She was well in advance of her time, an emancipated, self-conscious woman.

 

When she danced first in Paris - nearly naked - half of the public left, but in the other half were Picasso, Cocteau and many more artists.

 

She had an affair with Georges Simenon.
