DH and I stayed in Paris many times between 2000-2010. On one of our visits we happened across huge crowds watching a procession. When we asked what was happening, it was for a funeral / memorial service for an actress (I think, possibly a singer).
I remember at the time knowing who it was, so someone famous, but I just can't recall now who it was. I think someone famous in the 1950s/60s.
I've looked up Greta Garbo, but she died in 1990, and Brigitte Bardot, but she is still alive. It's really bugging me. Can anyone help?
