Former actress and singer Marie Laforêt (real name: Maïtena Doumenach) took the stage again last month, after a 30 year break. She became famous thanks to movies like Plein Soleil (with Alain Delon) and La Fille Au Yeux D'Or - a title that became her nickname. In the movie St Tropez Blues, she also sang, and that kicked off a very succesful singing career. She recorded songs by The Rolling Stones (Paint it Black, translated as Marie-douceur, Marie-colère) and Bob Dylan (Blowin' in the Wind), and made over ten albums. She has a very distinct voice, with a folky vibrato, that can become a little too 'goaty', if you know what I mean. But that is not the case in this heartbreaking, puppy-love song Qu'est-ce qui fait pleurer les filles? from 1963.dinsdag 4 oktober 2005

I think Marie Laforet is a beautiful selection, one that hipsters very rarely mention. And I don't get that... Delicate.
