Le 10 décembre a lieu le quart de finale du concours “Scala Reale”. Françoise Hardy qui se trouve à New York ne
peut pas être présente pour mener son équipe qui va affronter celle de Bobby Solo et sa participation (version hybride
de la chanson “La maison où j’ai grandi”) sera transmise à partir d’un pâquebot dans le port de New York. Elle va
d’abord saluer tout le monde et exprimer son regret de ne pas être là en personne.

“ Buona sera a tutti”. La voilà, toute belle et souriante. Elle exprime l’espoir que son
équipe aille gagner et regrette de ne pas pouvoir être là en personne. Elle serait très
contente si le public voterait pour son équipe. Elle a encore un petit mot pour
Nicola Di Bari (qu’elle connaissait assez bien comme il était dans la même maison
de disques où il avait commencé comme magasinier). En réalité Françoise déteste
tout ce qui est jeu, compétition, ... où il faut entrer en concurrence avec d’autres.

Lors de son séjour à New York Françoise faisait de la promotion pour l’album “Françoise” FCS-4231, le
pressage américain de son LP “L’amitié”, édité par la petite compagnie 4 Corners. Il existe une série de
planches-contact qui se trouvent au “Library of Congress” à Washington. On voit Françoise en smoking YSL

With long hair the color of lightly toasted chestnuts cascading over much of the fine-boned face, her cool grey-green eyes, her hands
idly stroking her guitar, Françoise Hardy is so today, so white boots and yé-yé, that she can make anyone over 25 (me) feel
prehistoric, raccoon coat and rah-rah. Her murmured “I don’t know many young people; I meet mostly journalists and
photographers” doesn’t help. But if you can sit through the interview without catching your death from the chill winds of time
gusting through the room, she is worth talking to.
She is worth talking to because of her dazzling candor, as sprightly as a splash of astringent on a morning face - she says she is not an
actress but liked appearing in the new movie “Grand Prix” because she didn’t have much to do.
gusting through the room, she is worth talking to.
She is worth talking to because of her dazzling candor, as sprightly as a splash of astringent on a morning face -
She is also worth talking to because her tremendous
success as a pop singer in France ans throughout Europe
has made her the idolized representative of today’s
turned-on generation, so that a conversation with her
offers access, or at least insight, into that young, cool,
uncommunicative but unpretentious world : she says
she will answer the questions truthfully, but it won’t
Be truth with a big T (and “T” rhymes with “b” and that
stands for “boring”, one of her favorite words, which
she applies to Milan, where part of the movie was made;
to most protest songs; to going on tour, and to Sammy
Davis Jr.).
But even lower-case truth emerges warily, bit by moody
bit. We are off to a languid start when the press agent
asks “how was her morning ?” (spent posing in brown
velvet for Esquire). “Bad, thank you” she replies and
the press agent goes away.
Lean and leggy in narrow wide-wale corduroy slacks
(hot orange) and a turtleneck sweater (dark blue) she
folds herself into a chair and looks remote. No, this is
not her first trip to New York; she was here once for
an appearance on “Hullabaloo” which she hated. Yes,
she likes New York for its atmosphere, noise and lights.
No, she never wanted to be a teacher, as the studio
biography intimates.
“You should know that everything that is written is
never true. Never completely true. Journalists think
that the truth doesn’t interest people, because the
truth is too simple, most of the times”. The obvious
follow-up question - what is truth ? - has all the weight
of the Gospel according to St. John behind it, but it
receives a noncommittal shrug. 3truth is to answer the
questions, that’s all”. And voilà, we are back at the
beginning, except that now she has reached for an
enveloppe and is dreamily sketching faces on it. Then at
some unmarked, imprecise moment, whether because
she has decided that a journalist just might be
interested in her truth, or whether because she has
simply become bored with silence, she begins to unfold.

“My part in this movie is very simple, very easy.It’s the part of the girl friend of a racing driver and she follows him. But I don’t
like acting - not at all. If I am ever in a movie again, it will be if the director knows me; myself, I’m not an actress and fortunately
I’ve never taking acting lessons. “Eva Marie Saint has a nervous breakdown in the film. I wonder, how can she act that ? I would
never be able to do that. Never, I know ! Somebody has to tickle me to make me laugh, because when I have no reason to laugh, I don’t
laugh. They shot her breakdown scene six or seven times, andI was told that when they were finished, she went on crying. That’s
terrible ! I think it’s much more difficult than singing.
“Grand Prix” is her third film; the first two are little known here, and she says she’s not surprised. “Ooof ... I’m sure you don’t
remember them, they were not successful. The first one, Françoise Sagan’s “A Castle in Sweden” was directed by Vadim and it was
not a bad movie, though all the critics said everybody was bad but me. But the critics are snobs. Do you understand that word, snob ?
I was very lucky, because they expected me to be bad. I was not good but I wasn’t as bad as they expected. You know, sometimes you
think something will be horrible, then it’s not as horrible as you thought it would be. Like my being in the Macy’s Thanksgiving
Day parade : I hate this sort of thing, but it wasn’t so bad.

“ Yes my mother knew and understood this. She thinks I’m old enough to know what I want to do, and anyway, she knows him and
she knew he was very, very, good. I hope I will get married some day, and have children, but in France you don’t get married as easy
It is much more difficult to get a divorce in France. I didn’t know American people before this film, and I liked them very much, but -
“I think many of them were married two or three or four times, and they were always talking about
the money they had to give to their first and second wives”.
“Grand Prix” will open at the Warner Cinerama on Wednesday, with a galaxy, as they call it, of stars including Françoise Hardy,
who does not sing in the picture nor, by her own appraisal, act. Why, then ? Because MGM says she “expresses today’s youth.
non-flaming youth; not disenchanted, but unenchanted; plain-spoken; perplexed and complex; often terribly trying. And Sunday
morning moralists, and those who will laugh at a 22-year old saying “ I have been happier , but I also have been unhappier” will
probably never know what they’re all about.

Rien ne vaut mieux qu'un verre de vin rouge pour interviewer Françoise
Not one close-up
“When I saw my first movie I was so disappointed, I can’t
tell you ! They had cut out what I thought to be the best,
and I had not one close-up. I was very bad photographed.
Then, my second film “A Bullet in the Heart” was a very,
very, very bad film. I was a teacher who had a vacation in
Greece and she fell in love with somebody. The director
wanted me to wear my dresses too long, and shoes without
heels”. It was a particularly uncomfortable concept for
the girl who is known for her fashion adventures,
including the wearing of a pants suit to a party at which
Ingrid Bergman and Elisabeth Taylor, who came with her
husband and her hairdresser, were skirted.
She brushed back her hair in a gesture of annoyed
rejection at unbecoming clothes. Then brightened. “What
I really liked about John Frankenheimer, who directed
“Grand Prix” is that we were always agreed about the
makeup and the hair, and I wore many of my own dresses”.
“But I still don’t think I’d like working in Hollywood at
all. I might : who knows ? But I have the feeling that in
the States the people who are working in the show
business simply cannot admit you as you are. They have
to change you and I cannot bear this. The singers here have
to be able to do a lot of things that I am completely unable
to do - dance, talk, sing other people’s songs”.
The songs she sings are her own, mostly; some smoky,
some bright - all big sellers. “ I sing slow ballads. My
favorite, but I did not write it, is about friendship. It says
“So many of my friends came from the clouds, with only
sun and rain for luggage. All I want to do is to go on
singing as long as possible. As for the rest, I don’t know.
Maybe tomorrow I will have no success any more, and
after that, who knows?
“It is very difficult, I think, and you have to be very
mature, to have a career with marriage. I have lived with
somebody during this last five years and it was impossible
because I was unhappy all the time. I had to travel all the
time and my whole life, and my whole life was on the
phone.
“ People say it’s better not to see each other too often
because then when you see each other again, it’s new and
wonderful”. An empathic fling of the hair “Not true, not
true !”. He was a photographer and when I would come
back to our home, he would have to go away. Oh it was
impossible, impossible”.
