French National Treasure Françoise Hardy Dead at 80
The singer-songwriter, actress, and model made her mark on the yé-yé movement.
Hardy’s son, fellow musician Thomas Dutronc, confirmed the news of her death on social media. He shared a baby photo of himself with her, captioning it, “Maman est partie” — Mom is gone — followed by a series of hearts. She had many famous fans — per The Guardian, David Bowie once admitted he was “passionately in love” with her, Bob Dylan wrote love poems about her, and Mick Jagger called her his “ideal woman.” While you might also recognize Hardy from roles in films including John Frankenheimer’s Grand Prix, acting was not her true passion.
