- Rags to Riches. Though she made her living decked out in jewels and marabou feathers on stage, Mistinguett had humble beginnings. Born in the Parisian suburb of Enghien-les-Bains in 1875, her father Antoine was a day-laborer, while her young mother Jeannette worked as a seamstress.

- Absolutely Floored. Mistinguett had men falling over themselves to—literally—sleep with her. She kept a coterie of heartthrobs, and it’s said that the strapping young men vied nightly for the chance to just slumber on the bedroom floor next to her.
