Aha Moment: Edith Piaf

The French singer and cultural icon Edith Piaf had a tumultuous life — from the cabarets of Nazi-occupied Paris to a long battle with addiction. Marion Cotillard’s Oscar-winning portrayal of Piaf in “La Vie En Rose” prompted Studio 360 listener Bill Mankin to write us about how he fell for her. 

(Originally aired February 22, 2008)
