Sixty years ago today in show business history (14 October 1963), a grief-stricken Marlene Dietrich (pictured) attended the funeral of her friend Edith Piaf (Édith Giovanna Gassion, 19 December 1915 - 10 October 1963).  The venerated French chanteuse’s funeral brought Paris to a halt. From Wikipedia: “Shortly after her death, Piaf's funeral procession drew tens of thousands of mourners onto the streets of Paris, and the ceremony at the cemetery was attended by more than 100,000 fans. According to Piaf's colleague Charles Aznavour, Piaf's funeral procession was the only time since the end of World War II that the traffic in Paris had come to a complete stop.” La Môme Piaf is, of course, interred at the Cimetière du Père-Lachaise – the starriest of Parisian cemeteries.
