Do you recognize this famous Frenchwoman? It turns out she has had the same hairstyle since her school years. Yes, this is the famous singer Mireille Mathieu.
The singer’s childhood was spent in very poor conditions. She was the eldest child in a family of 14 children. They lived in a barracks until the eighth child was born.
The family was then given a multi-room apartment. And Mireille remembers how happy she was to be able to swim in normal conditions.
The girl did poorly at school. But it was not because she lacked abilities. She was simply left-handed. And the teacher made her write with her right hand.
And as soon as the girl took a pen in her left hand, the teacher hit her hand. Then she was seated at the last desk. And when she read, she stumbled.
Mireille stayed at school until she was 13. Then she stopped going to school and went to work at a factory. Especially since the family needed the extra money.
It should be said that the father of the future singer was a stonemason. But he had a good voice and ear. And while working, he always sang. And he also sang in the church choir.
And he often took Mireille with him to church. And there, at the age of 4, she sang in front of an audience for the first time.
And when Mireille was 16, she took part in a competition among young singers. And she won a prize.
Then a contract was signed with her father. And since then the singer’s creative career began.
