Claudine Longet, who has died aged 84, was an actress and chanteuse who became one of the few French female artists to have sold significant numbers of records in the US. But unlike compatriots such as Edith Piaf and Françoise Hardy, she was never acclaimed as a major figure in global popular music: her hits were anodyne cover versions of songs such as the Beatles’ Here There and Everywhere and Good Day Sunshine.
She played the female lead, opposite Peter Sellers, in Blake Edwards’s 1968 film The Party, but she was best known for her appearances on the weekly television show hosted by her husband, Andy Williams. She was, in Williams’s words, “a beautiful, athletic, slender, petite brunette with large doe eyes”.
From her spouse’s side, she radiated a mixture of glamour and wholesome domesticity. On the set of Williams’s famous Christmas specials, she would cast protective glances towards the couple’s young children as they unwrapped parcels under the studio tree.

Ex-husband Andy, Longet and next husband, her lawyer.
Me too. But I was in my early teens. I hadda crush on anything in a skirt. Back then, only chicks wore skirts so, I was in the clear.
This is the first I've read of the trial, I assumed she went to prison for life since I never heard of her since.
But only 30 days? Wow
She was married to singer Andy Williams.
“The Rolling Stones” song “Claudine” is about her murder trial and acquittal.
Her first US tv appearance was on McHale’s Navy.
Guest spots on 12 O’Clock High (tv series), Hogan’s Heroes, Combat, Love American Style, Streets of San Francisco, The FBI, Alias Smith and Jones.
I thought she was so hot when I was a kid. But I was also a fan of Spider.
To this pre-teen that whole situation was confusing. And sad.
I had forgotten about that. It was hilariously dark.
How about naked Martha Stewart going to cut down a Christmas tree?
I guess he wasn't merely not very good in the sack, but outright lousy.
She definitely was beautiful. But her singing ... too meek and “breathy”.
Re the shooting ... I just figured that she was extremely spoiled, and when SS crossed her she shot him in a crime of passion. She expected that she could get away with murder. And she pretty much did.
She talked ‘baby talk’.... very irritating coming from an adult 🙄
Her singing sounds creepy.
