Available in:
French singer and actress from Brittany, born 18 December 1900 near Saint-Servan, died 30 March 1983 in Haut-de-Cagnes, Cagnes-sur-Mer, France.
She who was named "The Madonna of the sailors", was an emblematic figure of the 1930s. Symbol of the garçonne of the "Roaring Twenties", she contributed to popularize the Parisian lesbian environment, celebrating by the interpretation of several songs the sapphic loves (for example: Ouvre, or Obsession).
Creating a realistic repertoire where old sea shanties mixed with love songs and the poems of Verlaine, Henri Heine and Jean Cocteau, she performed in cabaret during the Occupation, becoming the French version of Lily Marlene in the "Vie Parisienne". After the war the Comité d'Epuration des Artistes accused her of having been a collaborator and only in 1954 she opened a new cabaret, "Chez Suzy Solidor".
As the “most painted woman in the world” she was friends with many painters through the early 1960s, left Paris to live on the Côte d'Azur where she opened an antique shop, its cellar transforming into a cabaret every summer, "Chez Suzy", decorated with her 225 portraits, from August 1960 to 1966.
