Edith Piaf is one of France's most famous and beloved female singers, and her work "Life of the Rose" is a portrayal of her tragic life, most of which is shrouded in mystery.
Edith's parents made a living as street jugglers, and were later abandoned by their parents to live with their grandmother, and later raised by their grandmother, who ran a brothel, where the women who often took care of little Edith.
Edith went blind from keratitis between the ages of three and seven, and according to a biography by Edith, Aidit miraculously regained her sight after the prostitutes pooled money to send her to the holy daughter Teresa The Younger.
In 1929, at the age of fourteen, Edith was selling on the streets of France, her first time singing in public, and she was born with a good voice, and at the age of 15 she decided to leave her father and go to Paris alone.
The owner of one of the most elegant bars in Paris overheard the young girl singing and was immediately mesmerized by the petite woman's voice, he immediately signed her and renamed her "Little Sparrow" because she was only 1.47 meters tall and stood petite and pitiful on the stage.
Louis Leplée was murdered in her own home, Edith was summoned by the police for having a close relationship with him... Various "entertainment media" have hyped up this "legend".
Her feelings are also extremely unsmooth, in 1944, at the age of 30, she fell in love with the hairy boy Yves Montão in Paris, and in 46 they separated, for unknown reasons, perhaps she foresaw Yves's unlimited future, so she chose to leave quietly...
Perhaps to distract herself, or to get rid of the past, she went to the United States for the first time in 47 years to hold a concert, fell in love with the famous boxer Marcel Cerdan, and two years later the boxing king died of an air crash, and Edith was once again shrouded in tragedy.
In the summer of '61, she met the last man in her life, and in July of that year, she received the "Lifetime Achievement Award" in her native France, and she also won the Best Actress Award at the 80th Academy Awards.
