Chanteuse. Actress. Longtime lover of Miles Davis.
Davis said he never married her because he couldn't put her under the strain of being part of a biracial couple in America.
Not sure Davis had Gréco's measure. This was the 16-year-old girl who got thrown in Fresnes prison for punching a Gestapo officer in the face, and the 54-year old broad who gave a command performance for Gen. Pinochet--with a surprise set list consisting solely of songs he had banned.
RIP, under the sky of Paris. She was how she was. |

One of my favorite films is Cocteau's 'Orpheus' and Ms. Greco appears in the film. She has a smallish part as a bohemian/beatnik who is a group of young poets who hang out in the village cafe......

High Dupac,
It seems to me there is also Boris Vian in the movie. Right? As far as I know he played the trumpet in Saint Germain (in le taboo).
