A glittering memoir from one of the most celebrated entertainers of the twentieth century, Mistinguett: Queen of the Paris Night chronicles the remarkable life of Jeanne Bourgeois — the legendary French cabaret star who packed the Moulin Rouge and the Folies Bergère for decades. Born into modest circumstances, she rose to become the highest-paid female entertainer in the world during the 1920s, dazzling audiences with her electric stage presence, her famous legs, and her iconic feathered costumes. Written in her own voice and translated by Lucienne Hill, the memoir presents an intimate portrait of a woman who defined Parisian nightlife and counted Maurice Chevalier among her most famous co-stars and lovers. Vivid, candid, and irresistibly atmospheric, the narrative transports the reader into the glittering world of Belle Époque and interwar Paris, capturing the spectacle, scandal, and sheer artistry behind the footlights.
