MY LIFE WITH THEO & EDITH

Because I have been asked many questions by so many people for the past 40 years, I am in the process of writing my memoirs on Theo Sarapo and Edith Piaf and the life I lived with them in 1962-1963. I wish to publish my memoirs in the near future. To learn more about my life with Theo and Edith, visit our Biography Page.
