"or also Michelle"?

Hello, the article summary says "Juliette Gréco (pronounced: [ʒyljɛt ɡʁeko]), or also Michelle (born 7 February 1927), is a French actress and popular chanson singer" (emphasis mine). I am wondering what the Michelle thing means (alternate artist name? birth name? second name?) and where this information is sourced. I cannot find any reference to the Michelle name/moniker anywhere else on the page, nor on the French article for Juliette Gréco.

Please enlighten me, for I am tempted to remove the "or also Michelle", especially since the article is about a living person.

Thanks in advance! --Georgepauljohnringo (talk) 12:53, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Since no one has stepped forward to offer a source for the alternate name of Michelle, I have removed it. --Georgepauljohnringo (talk) 12:50, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Some sections view this living person in the past tense

e.g 'it accompanied her for the rest of her life' and 'she married three times' do the tenses need clarifying? - though maybe for an 88 year old it may be time limited! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajmarshall (talk • contribs) 16:54, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen the same on the wiki pages of some other female celebrities of a certain age. It is unprofessional to write a premature obituary in this way, and patronizing to judge at what age a woman may be declared unmarriageable. Valetude (talk) 17:20, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

...Why wouldn't past tense be used to described marriages that took place in the past? I don't get how that's grammatically incorrect. I assume you consider "has been married" to be a better choice of words, but the current sentence is not technically wrong. Biographies should focus on what has happened, not on what could happen (a fourth marriage). OscarL 20:25, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You said it. ...has been married is clearly the correct wording. Valetude (talk) 21:53, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone consolidate the duplicate lists of songs?

There are two lists of songs, mostly a complete duplication, in slightly different format. Can someone consolidate them? Softlavender (talk) 10:43, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

possible bisexuality and affair with Francoise Sagan

I found that out in this link , but I don't know how reliable it is- https://returnofanative.com/stories/the-charming-monster-francoise-sagan/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.197.144.46 (talk) 18:12, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a reliable source. Joanna Wing's blog is nevertheless very elegantly composed. The Sagan piece was a pleasure to read. Coincidentally, I was a huge fan of Greco and attended a concert of hers at Theatre Bobino in Paris in the mid 1960s. Amazing. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 18:19, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
