Biography
Ciarlet obtained her Baccalauréat at 14, then enrolled at the Artististic Training Centre of the Académie Charpentier. She was an inspiration of the 1960s passing through Régine, Castel, the Drugstore at the top of the Champs-Élysées and Gabriel Pommerand.
The news magazine Paris Match baptised her "la twisteuse". She represented the liberated young woman, who was active during the protests of May 1968, as indeed Ciarlet was.
She left then for Swinging London with Brian Jones, but left him and returned to Paris. However, her success after this eroded. In 1978 she left Paris for the Antilles where she remained for seven years. She returned to France in 1985 to take care of her mother.

Famous quotes containing the word biography:
“Had Dr. Johnson written his own life, in conformity with the opinion which he has given, that every man’s life may be best written by himself; had he employed in the preservation of his own history, that clearness of narration and elegance of language in which he has embalmed so many eminent persons, the world would probably have had the most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited.”
—James Boswell (1740–95)
“Just how difficult it is to write biography can be reckoned by anybody who sits down and considers just how many people know the real truth about his or her love affairs.”
—Rebecca West [Cicily Isabel Fairfield] (1892–1983)
“The best part of a writer’s biography is not the record of his adventures but the story of his style.”
