Is a very famous Marilyn Monroe impersonator.

Cult actress and singer from the '70s, she also led the pack on numerous occasions at the Alcazar cabaret in Paris.

She sang a song in two films directed by André Téchiné. "On se voit se voir" in "Barocco", and "Prends moi" in "Les Innocents". Both were written and composed by André Téchiné and Philippe Sarde.

Born a man, she became a woman when arriving in Paris, early '60s. Considered more feminine than many women, she published her autobiography ("Elle était une fois") in 2003.

Writer/director Marguerite Duras said about Marie-France: "It's virtually impossible not to be troubled by her, whether you're a man or a woman.".

She has never publicly disclosed her real first name (a boy's name).

In 1993, she sang the French song "Avec" (composed in 1959 by Henri Betti and Bruno Coquatrix with the lyrics of André Hornez) with Jean Sala and his Orchestra in Henri Betti (1/2) (1993).
