Michou
Edit
French cabaret director, founder of the Cabaret Michou in Paris where drag artists do parodies of singers and personalities.
Michou adopted an extravagant and kitschy clothing appearance, including famous blue glasses and a discoloured brushing.
He made no secret of his homosexuality.
A local celebrity, he appeared in a cameo as himself in the 1973 film La bonne année directed by Claude Lelouch.
With no training, he moved to Paris in the early 1950s and worked in odd jobs, then he started dealing with the night scene.
He often disguised himself by imitating France Gall or Brigitte Bardot.
He was the subject of Jean Luret's documentary L'intrigant destin d'un Transformiste.
He was made a chevalier de la Légion d'honneur in 2005.
In 1973 he also played the part of Beauchamp in the TV series Molière pour rire et pour pleurer directed by Marcel Camus.
He was a French singer, drag artist and owner of Chez Michou in Montmartre.
