Marie-Jacques Renée “Jacotte” Perrier (22 November 1924 - 29 November 2012) was a French singer, fashion journalist, voice actress, socialite, author and art collector. She was best known for her musical collaborations with the Quintette du Hot Club de France and her fashion reporting for Fairchild Publications. She was the daughter of musical composer and haute couture textile supplier Robert Perrier, from whom she inherited direction of the R-26 artistic salon. ==Early life and singing career== Born in the Montmartre district of Paris in 1924, Marie-Jacques Perrier was raised among the regulars of her parents’ R-26, the informal artistic salon based in the family’s apartment and frequented by artists such as Josephine Baker, Stéphane Grappelli, Django Reinhardt, Henri Salvador, Jean Tranchant and Mary Lou Williams.〔(Moulin, Matthieu (2007). Soirées à Montmartre (CD liner notes). Paris: Marianne Melodie. )〕 Perrier began her acting career at the age of ten using the stage name Jacotte Perrier, performing in variety theaters and on French radio.〔Pissard, Jean-François. Le Livre des héros. Poitiers: Le Pictavien, 2007. Print.〕 Her voice soon became synonymous with the role of Mitou in the popular radio comedy ''Serpentin, Mitou et Toti'', under the direction of Alain Saint-Ogan. As a singer, she began her recording career with Pathé Records in 1937, producing singles with Reinhardt and his Quintette du Hot Club de France including the series ''Chansons de Jacotte'', written by Jean Tranchant, and ''‘Ric et Pussy’'', written by Perrier’s parents.〔Nevers, David.

Paris. 29 November 2012. )〕 Perrier was equally introduced into the milieu of her father’s haute couture business, affording her a visit in 1944 with the then-destitute and moribund Paul Poiret. After graduating from the École du Louvre in 1944, Perrier was variously employed by couturière Marie-Louise Bruyère, film producer Fred Orain, the Embassy of Pakistan in France and Panair do Brasil (Pan American Airways). Perrier’s musical collaborations with Stéphane Grappelli continued until 1950, recording music written by Perrier’s parents such as the single ''‘La pluie sur le toit’''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marie-Jacques Perrier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
