Françoise Hardy, an actress, singer, and fashion icon, died at the age of 80.
The beautiful French singer, whose songs were often sad, put out more than 30 albums. In 1964, her song “All Around the World” became a hit in the UK.
When the Nazis took over Paris in 1944, Hardy was born there and grew up there.
When she was 16, she got her first guitar and started writing her own songs. She quickly became one of the most famous people in the 1960s.
She was a model for Yves Saint Laurent and was in movies, like the drama Grand Prix in 1966.
He once called her his “ideal woman.”
She sang on Blur’s “To The End,” the B-side to their No. 1 hit “Country House,” in 1995.
There was a son named Thomas born to Hardy and fellow French singer Jacques Dutronc in 1967.
Even though they had problems together, they got married in 1981 “for financial reasons.”
They broke up in 1988, but they never got a divorce.
In 2004 and 2012, Hardy was told he had lymphatic cancer and laryngeal cancer.
In 2018, her last album came out.
Because of her health, she had to stop singing in 2021.
Thomas, a musician, told everyone yesterday that she had died, saying, “Maman est partie.”
