French Songbirds...passe' et a present!

I am so inspired by music from every culture and generation, so today I'm  presenting a collection of some of my favorite French girls doing their thing!


Gillian Hills

 Gillian was born June 5th, 1944 in Cairo, Eygpt and is known  as an actress and singer. She rose to fame as a teenager in the 1960s in the British films like Beat Girl and Blowup. She was discovered by Roger Vadim who likened her to the next Brigitte Bardot. She also spent a number of years living in France, where she embarked on a singing career as well as starring in a number of French films.

In her early life, Bardot was an aspiring ballet dancer. She started her acting career in 1952 and, after appearing in 16 films, became world-famous due to her role in her then-husband Roger Vadim's controversial film And God Created Woman. Bardot starred in 47 films, performed in numerous musical shows, and recorded 80 songs.
