++Fernande Grudet aka Madame Claude made the New York Times with her death. Also Huffington Post.
++Ill for the last two years, she died in Nice at the age of 92. Her trials in 1967 made her internationally famous but then she went back to being the discreet matchmaker,often arranging marriages for failed French actresses.
++Depending on the story you read her clients vary. Today the Shah of Iran got mentioned. But the reason she has been noticed in her death isn't for her pimping, it is the unwritten story of her connections to the power elite in the West and French society. Her intelligence contacts were vast and her arranged trysts yielded significant finds. This was particularly true regarding Africa and the Middle East.
