Edith Piaf did not recognize the Hangehole Moral and obeyed only his feelings. Solitude is afraid, the Great Singer rushed into the fiery of passions. And submissively accepted by the fallen part of the suffering, repeating: "For love you need to pay bitter tears."
Beginning of legend
A tiny figurine in a worn coat appeared in the poorest quarter of Paris in the evening, stopped at the corner and suddenly fell. Hurrying passersby froze, looking a powerful voice of a little tanker.
The girl was called Edith Giovanna Gassjon, she was only fifteen. After years, she will remember these street performances and selflessly design the legend of his life. Even tell that the mother gave birth right on the dirty sidewalk ...
In fact, Edith was born in the clinic of Belleville - a disadvantaged Parisian district. Mother, a cheap cabaret singer named Annette, saw and worked as a prostitution. She quickly lost interest in the baby and sent her to her parents-alcoholics.
Father returned from the front, seeing, in which the little ones got a baby Edith, immediately took a painful girl to his mother - the mistress of the brothel. Strange, but in such an unsuitable place for the child, Edith lived well: the girls cared for her, fed and dressed up.
In three years, the girl blinded: due to infection, the corneals of the eyes were infected. When the doctors could not help her, the priests of love died into modest clothes and went to church - to pray to the Holy Teresa about recovery. And the miracle happened!
Life in the public house made Edith tolerant to someone's vices, but I distorted her idea of \u200b\u200blove: "I was not sentimental, it seemed to me that the woman should follow the man in the first call."
Not easy freedom
In Fourteen, Edith has already performed at the Paris streets with the father-acrobat, and then settled in a cheap hotel with summary Momoon. So began her independent life ...
"Many people think that mine young years There were terrible. This is not the case, they were beautiful! - spoke singer. - Yes, I'm starving, Merzla on the streets. But it was free: it could get up late, dream, hope ... "
In sixteen, Edith fell in love with the emission of Dupona and gave birth to a daughter from him, which Marcella called him. However, soon almost forgot about the existence of both: every day she sang on the street, and in the evening Korotala in a cafe in the company of small vorays.
In the hope of returning a windy girlfriend Louis took the daughter to himself. But two years later, deprived of care, Marsell died from meningitis. The death of the baby shook Edith, but she preferred to live the future. A young woman could not think that she was not destined to become a mother ...
Hanging bird
Edith's new friend became Ham Albert. He took most Money that Edith earned singing, and tried to make her serve customers. Edith refused, and one day he put a blow of a pistol blow to the temple of his mistress.
The girl escaped when a girlfriend Nadia, who did not want to engage in prostitution, decided to reduce the scores with life. Twenty-year-old Edith rolled over the inclined, and then fate unexpectedly gave her a chance to salvation: her singing heard Louis Leple, the owner of the Zhernis cabaret.
Edith so nervous that hardly failed listening. But it was worth it to sing, as the trail left from the excitement. The lepale looked around a miniature girl and came up with a pseudonym - the baby Piaf (Piaf is translated as "Varobushki").
"Singing bird" for the debut tied a simple black dress. Her unpretentious appearance with interest was compensated by a powerful voice, and from the first song she conquered a discerning public. The lepale realized that he found a real diamond, and began his cut: he trained Edith the basics of scenic skills, introduced into secular circles.
A serene life lasted long. In April 1936, Louis Lepale was found killed in his apartment, and the shocked Edith considered an partner of the crime. The press wrote in detail about the former connections of the singer with the criminal world.
The poet Raymont Asso came to the rescue. He became a new producer of "singing birds", made a contract with the famous ABC theater and left the ward of dubious buddies. 
Edith Piaf and Raymont Asso
By the end of the 1930s, Edith turned into a successful and secured singer. Raymon unceremoniously turned to her Galatea, forcing her to behave correctly in society. Joint work quickly turned into a stormy novel.
Time to give
Fortunately prevented the second world War. Raymont went to the front, and Edith spun a novel with actor Maurice. "I hate loneliness, I'm just not able to live in an empty house!" - she sighed. Restrained Paul was full opposite Sociable Edith, but they were drawn to each other.
During the war, the most famous singer France not only continued to perform performances, but also managed to help the prisoners of war. "If God allowed me to earn so much, then this is only because he knows: I will give everything," Edith assured. And I kept the word, generously gave everyone. 
Piaf did not bother either money or feelings. She plunged into relationships, forgetting everything, she was torn by an unbridled passion and jealousy.
In 1944, at one of the concerts, a new star was noticed by a spent chanson named Iv Montan. The friends accompanying the singer, having heard his singing, came to full delight and long applauded.
"I don't know what you find in it," Piaf noticed irritably. - He sings terribly and does not know how to dance, and in addition to everything else and such a narcissist! "
Nevertheless, pleasures convinced Edith to change the anger to mercy. She looked at another speech Montana and recognized: the guy has abilities. Piaf was so honest with him and others, which even apologized to the sign of the words, spoke in a narrow circle of friends.
Yves Montan and Edith Piaf
The thirty-year-old Piaf became Montana's mentor, wrote a song for him, acquainted with necessary people. She argued that she was connected to it only platonic relations. But it believed in it ...
In the ring with fate
After the war, Glory Edith overcame the ocean, and the singer was offered a tour of the United States. At its concert in New York, the world champion in boxing Marcel Sedan, the French of Arab origin, was accidentally. The reputation of the exemplary family man did not prevent him from starting to care for the Piaf.
Dinner in a luxurious restaurant turned into a date. Marseille was the first man who needed Eith himself, and not in her talent, connections or money. He gave a piaff jewelry, invited to the matches and did not hide his love.
Marseille Sedan and Edith Piaf
Next to the "Sparrow", the boxer turned into a manual bear. Edith knitted his beloved sweaters and accompanied on training. "Relations with Marseille gave my chaotic life a certainty equilibrium," she recalled.
In the fall of 1949, Piaf again acts in the United States and desperately missed the Hearts left in Europe. "I beg, come faster!" - Screamed Edith in the handset. He, too, could not have failed to see, he wanted her plea and refused the idea to sail with a steamer.
The plane crashed over the Azores Islands ... Such is the end of the fairy tale about the queen of music and king Ring.
Anthem Love
The news of the death of his beloved Him Edith. Sister hardly kept her from suicide, but I could not save the self-destruction. "I do not want to live, I'm already dead," Piaf repeated, looking for oblivion in drugs and alcohol.
The singer attended spiritual sessions and sat for the clock alone, facing them with reproach. A woman immersed in severe depression was hardly like a great piaff, who had recently sparkling happiness.
Edith's loss recover never succeeded. In memory of Marseil, she wrote the song "Hymn of Love", which never fulfilled. Rare concerts of Piaf were held with a tragic supervision that saved her the fame of the singers of grief.
Charles Aznavour and Edith Piaf
Loneliness Edith asked a little friendship with a young singer Charl, Aznavour, who had assumed the duties of the Personal Secretary. And again, the tragedy was almost happened - Edith and Charles got into heavy automobile accident.
To stroke pain in a broken arm and ribs, the doctor prescribed Piaf Morphy. Relateds did not recognize the singer: she lived from a dose to a dose, purposefully destroyed themselves. Even the novel and subsequent marriage with chanson Jacques Pilla did not give her strength.
For four years of family life, Piaff often seeing his doctors and nurses than with her husband. Jacques, loyal and caring spouse, unfortunately, also suffered from alcoholism. The outcome of the marriage was predetermined.
Trying to drown pain ...
After the divorce, the next accident was waiting for the singer and regular attempts Pain the pain of morphium. "I experienced an indomitable need to destroy myself," she admitted. "But, approaching the edge of the abyss, I wanted to rise to the top all the time."
The premonition of Piaf did not deceive: the fate presented a farewell gift to the 47-year singer. The 27-year-old Greek Teofanis Lambucas was beautiful and well folded. And he looked at Edith with her dark eyes as her dark eyes, that she surrendered ...
Teo Sarapo. And Edith Piaf.
So hairdresser S. complex name turned into singer Teo Sarato. Edith chose this name, remembering that "Sarato" in Greater means "I love you." Because the losses of the sickness and sorrows loses the loss of the sickness again.
In October 1962, the couple had married. Many considered the Greek Alfonsus, but theo touching his wife, and the voices of the ill-wishers of Smallkley. He drove Piaf in wheelchair, did not leave the bed of the spouse for a second and carefully hid from her scary diagnosis - cancer.
But Edith felt the approach of death and therefore forced her husband to give an oath: he would never fly on airplanes. Theo kept the promise, but it was not possible to deceive fate: he died in a car accident, surviving his wife for only seven years.
But it was later, and then Theo had to put a point in a beautiful and sad legend Edith Piaf. She died on October 10, 1963 on Riviera. Pouring tears, Theo put the body of his wife into the car and rushed to Paris. He understood: Life great Piaf. It should be completed in the same place where it began - in the city of Love.

Edith Piaf: "For happiness, you need to pay tears!"
The history of life is happy and tragic at the same time. On the Boulevard Shapnel to the Chumasa nineteen-year-old girl came up with a man and a couple went to the hotel. The girl's view was so miserable that he asked: "Why are you doing this?" "I need to bury your daughter, there are not enough ten francs," she replied. The man gave her money and left. The only daughter Edith Giovanna Gason Died. She will survive four car accidents, a suicide attempt, two attacks of white hot, the first and second world wars will drive a crowd of men and die without surviving up to fifty. She will be buried all France, and mourning is the whole world. On her grave will write: ""
Childhood
On the same grave there are two more dates: death - 1963 - and birth. Cold December, policeman heard screams at night. When I came running, I saw a giving birth woman. She wrapped a newborn girl in a policeman and called Edith 1915. Here, perhaps, all that the circusacher's anetht Majar did for his daughter before giving it to the upbringing of his parents and wisely hide. The father of the baby Louis Hasson immediately after her birth went to the front. So the great one was born.
After some time, she agreed to pick up her grandmother on the father's line Louise - a kitchen in a public house. 
In the institution, the girl was laundered (probably for the first time after birth) and dressed in a new dress. It turned out that under the crust of the mud hid a wonderful creature, but, alas, absolutely blind. It turned out that in the first months of life Edith The cataract began to develop. Grandmother Louise did not regret money for treatment, but nothing helped. When the hopes left left, grandma was lucky Edith In Lizier to St. Teresa, where thousands of pilgrims from all of France are going annually, and Edith Separated.
Soon Edith I went to school, surrounded by the concerns of a loving grandmother, but the respectful ordinary people did not want to see next to their children who live in a public house, and studying for the girl very quickly ended. Then Louis Hacon took Edith In Paris, where they began to work together in the squares - the father showed acrobatic tricks, and his nine-year-old daughter sang.
Youth Edith Piaf.
In fourteen years Edith I decided that it was already quite independent. She worked with a summary sister Simonoy. On the day they earned about 300 francs. 
They had enough money to pay a room in a terrible hotel, buy new clothesWhen the dirt began to fall off from the old, and not to lack fault and canned food (sisters did not even think that things could be used, prepare from the products, and dishes were washing).
Men in Life Edith Appeared early - almost immediately after her departure from the Father. She fell in love regularly and also regularly challenged lovers. So it was all her life. There was no exception and father of her sole child - Louis Dujn. He earned a living, delivering products on an old bike. He moved to the sisters on the same day when they met with them. And a year later a daughter appeared Edith And Louis - Marseille. Young mother did not quit 
His craft, and when Louis could not stay with the child, dragged him with him.
When Edith They offered to sing in a cheap cabaret, the patience of Dupon came to the end. A few days later, the girl took Louis. For his father, she was only a tool that could return and tame a beloved. At this time, "Spaniard" was raging in Europe, Marseille fell ill. After visits, the daughter got sick and herself Edith. As a result Piaf Recovered, and Marseille died. Together with her daughter Edith Finally left Louis.
"Baby Piaf"
Edith Returned back to the streets. He sang with his sister and asked for a chance. Once she saw on the street of a lord of Mr. Soroka, who shouted to her in: 
"Want to act in the cabaret? My name is Louis Leple, I am the owner of the cabaret "PRAINIS". If you want, come tomorrow. " Day before your debut Edith I realized that she was nothing to go on stage. She ran into the bench and bought three sakes of black wool. All night long knitted dress. By the evening of the next day, there was another sleeve. Lepale, putting it in the dressing room with the knitting needles, came to indescribable rage. Edith The tricks pulled the dress, which still lacked a single sleeve. And after a minute, the lepale brought a white scarf.
It was Lepal who found for Edith Name - Piaf (In the Paris Argo, this means "saying"). In "Gernis" on the posters, her name was printed as "Baby Piaf", And the success of the first speeches was huge. However, a successful takeoff was interrupted by the tragedy: Soon, Louis Lepale was killed in his head, and was among the suspects. She was remembered by dubious past and suspicious friendships, but later let go.
New takeoff Edith Piaf
It is not known how it all ended if not a note found in his pocket: Ramon Asso and the phone number. Edith Strained all his memory to remember who could be: "It seems the poet. We met him in the "Gernis". Reonon said right to her: "I will help you. But you will do what I say. " 
No one never said so with Edith. And although it all covered with anger, she was silent.
Every day they diligently rehearsed. Their joint perseverance has done their job. Director "ABC" (the largest concert hall of Paris) agreed to give the first branch of one of the concerts Edith. The huge hall was roaring from delight, the audience did not want to let her go. And the presses the next day, choking the delight, wrote: "Yesterday, the great singer of France was born on the stage" ABC "...
World World
With the beginning of World War II Edith broke up with Reimon Asso. At this time, parents died Edith. Countrymen appreciated and personal courage Piafwho spent during the war in Germany in front of French prisoners of war, so that after the concert, together with autographs, transfer them everything you need for escape. Speakers in camps for prisoners of war, photographed with German officers and with French prisoners of war "for memory", and then in Paris in these photographs made fake documents for soldiers who fled from the camp. Then Edith He went to the same camp and secretly distributed fake documents to prisoners of war.

The death of a single child, two (for other information four) car accidents, seven heavy operations, dependence on drugs and alcohol, attacks of madness and white hot, attempted suicide, three comes because of hepatitis, two world wars and loss of a loved one - this is only Top Iceberg. Edith Piaf Biography is a string of tragedies that allow you to call this woman with a martyr and a sinner equally.
Childhood and youth
Piaf was born in December 1915. Her parents - a failed actress Anita Mayar and Acrobat Louis Gassjon - earned a living as they could. The girl was born in the midst of the First World War. Father went to the front, and Mom sent a little to the grandmother. The woman abused alcohol and granddaughter became a real burnt for her. Therefore, the wine was mixed into a bottle with milk so that she constantly slept.
Gassjon, who returned from the front, found a daughter in a terrible state. Exhausted, it seems, never was washing, the girl melted the heart of the soldier with his eyes. Louis dismay the baby in Normandy to his elderly mother. Here 3-year-old Edith Giovanna Gasson, so the real name of Piaf sounds, finally learned what care and attention is. Grandma with horror noticed that granddaughter blind. As it turned out, the developing keratitis former ever-dried "nannik" simply did not see.
There is a legend that Holy Teresa managed to heal the blind Edith Giovanna, to which thousands of pilgrims from all over the country came to Lizier every year. According to other information, the baby cured in the hospital, but at the same time the grandmother prayed tirelessly about her insight of Saint Teresa. Whatever it was, but vision returned to Edith. Since then, the saint portrait was constantly with her until the end of life.
And nothing, if it were not for the place where I had to live a little Edith Piaf, along with a good old woman. This was brothel. According to one information, the woman here worked for a servant. Otherwise - contained a house. In school over a little girl, they mocked so that she had to leave learning. Grandma sent 9-year granddaughter to his father to Paris.
Louis Gassjon himself almost survived. On its content there were 8 children, the only siblings and sisters Edith. Everything that could help elder daughter Dad, it takes a child with him to work. He performed with acrobatic numbers on the streets and squares.
It was found that the daughter knows how to sing. When a man performed, a tiny girl performed some simple song. Penhable passersby, looking at the singing child in the bench rags, donated more money.
So, on the street, and began creative biography Edith Piaf. When the girl turned 14, she began to live an independent life, earning themselves on a singing room in various golden places. Skinny, ugly, with vulgarly tinted lips and eyes, in bright, not visiting rags, she looked terribly. But the voice - the voice was great.
Music

The scene has long become for Edith a place, beside which she did not imagine life.
To make a "negligent mother" sit at home, Dupon translated the baby to his home. He expected that so the spouse would return to him. But Marseille got sick with meningitis in Paris, who did not know how to verch the doctors at that time. Edith Piaf came to the girl to the hospital and also infected. She managed to recover, but Marseille did not. Most of the singer never had children. From Louis she was still gone.
In 1935, the 20-year-old singer fell into the field of view of the owner of the Cabaret "Gernis", which was located on the Champs Elysées. Louis Lepal compared this priceless find with an untreated diamond. It was he who came up with her stage name Piaf (sparrows). The "cut" turned out to be tough.
