Juliette Greco Biography

Unlike many of the other "protégés" of 20th Century-Fox executive Darryl F. Zanuck, French-born Juliette Greco didn't really need Zanuck's sponsorship to succeed in showbiz. Greco was already a popular Parisian cafe chanteuse and veteran of several European productions before Zanuck brought her to America to co-star in The Sun Also Rises (1957). She also prospered after parting company with 20th Century-Fox in the early 1960s, continuing to play choice club dates and to co-star in such internationally financed films as The Night of the Generals (1967). From 1966 through 1977, Juliette Greco was the wife of French film star Michel Piccoli. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
