Biographies - Frehel
Fréhel (born Marguerite Boulc'h; July 14, 1891 -- February 3, 1951) was a French singer and actress. Born in Paris, France to a poor and dysfunctional Breton family, Marguerite Boulc'h was a child left to a life on the streets in the dark side of Paris. In her teens she got a break when she met one of the female music-hall performers who heard her sing and introduced her to show business promoters. She began performing under the stage name "Pervenche" and soon met and married Robert Hollard, a performer who used the nom de guerre "Roberty". Alcohol entered her life at an early age and her drinking became a problem for her husband. Their marriage did not last long and Boulc'h's husband left her for the Parisian singer, Damia. Fréhel then began a relationship with Maurice Chevalier but that too did not last long and after he left her for the much older megastar Mistinguett, the distraught girl, still only 19 years old, attempted suicide.

Biographies of wholesome overcomers can be quite inspiring. Others, well, you decide... entertaining perhaps, and valuable if we can learn from fatal flaws and not glamorize them. In any event, real people can be much more interesting than most fiction... and this is a superb lens! Posted January 22, 2008 |
