Mistinguett, born Jeanne Florentine Bourgeois on April 5, 1875, in Enghien-les-Bains, France, was a legendary French actress and singer who became the quintessence of Parisian theatrical and musical hall charm. Rising to fame in the early 20th century, Mistinguett had an extraordinary career that spanned several decades, during which she became famous for her voice, stage presence, and her portrayal of a quintessential Parisienne.

Known for her sparkling wit, glamour, and an inimitable style of performance, Mistinguett was the highest-paid female entertainer of her time. She began her career as a flower seller, a model, and sang in cafes before making her mark in some of Paris's most prestigious venues, including the Moulin Rouge and the Folies Bergère. Her repertoire, emphasizing the glitz and exuberance of the Belle Époque and the interwar years, included such hits as "Mon Homme," "Ça c'est Paris," and "Je cherche un millionaire," which continued to resonate with audiences even after her passing in 1956. Her songs have seen multiple remastering, showcasing the timeless allure of her vivacious persona, and in many ways, Mistinguett's spirit continues to captivate the imagination of those who long for the romance and flair of bygone eras in French entertainment.
