R.I.P. Juliette Greco
With expressive eyes inherited from her Greek ancestors and an impossibly deep, raspy voice -- acquired from years of cigarette-smoking -- Greco immortalized some of France’s most recognizable songs in an enduring seven-decade career, including the classics “Soul le ciel de Paris” and “Je hais les dimanches” .
She knew many of the writers and artists working in Saint-Germain-des-Pres, such as Albert Camus, Jacques Prevert, Jean Cocteau and Boris Vian, and gained the popular nickname “the muse of existentialism.” Paul McCartney said in a 2007 interview that the Beatles’ 1965 classic “Michelle” was inspired by Greco, who epitomized the cool of the era far beyond France.
