Heard about this a few days ago.

Back when France was still France.

I only barely know of her. Not much. I grew up with a couple of sisters who were heavily into fashions, like most young girls are. When Dame Lesley Lawson DBE dies, there will be a humongous hullabaloo about it. Her working name was Twiggy.
If you were around then at all, and aware of the British Style & Music Invasion at all, you would have heard of Twiggy.

I like Charlotte and liked John Barry, but Jane didn’t make much of an impression, and Serge was very hard to take.

Françoise Hardy was much better looking (and really French)

Dame Lesley Lawson DBE

Oh yes, she's famous because she had a small part in Blues Brothers.

Bob Dylan apparently tried to interest Francoise Hardy in the philosophy of poetry and other things....
