Françoise Hardy, the French chanson singer, songwriter, fashion 'It Girl' and darling of the 1960s “yé-yé” French pop movement, has died. She was 80. Her death was announced Tuesday on Instagram by her son, Thomas Dutronc, who wrote, “Maman est partie” — “Mom is gone” in French — without specifying when or where she died. Hardy said in 2004 that she’d been diagnosed with lymphoma.
Hardy first visited Los Angeles in 1968 to record her English-language album “En Anglais” — although she had appeared onscreen at the Cinerama Dome two years earlier in John Frankenheimer's race car movie 'Grand Prix” — but never seemed too concerned with stateside success. It didn't help that she suffered from stage fright.
