Bio

American singer and writer (born January 17, 1956 - died March 31, 2020).
A Harvard drop-out and daughter of a French psychoanalyst and an American illustrator-novelist-playwright, she met Michael Zilkha when she was working as a freelance writer for the Village Voice, who she later married. Zilkha was heir to England's Mothercare retail empire and was just starting ZE Records with Michel Esteban. Zilkha persuaded her to record "Disco Clone", a song written by Ronald Melrose, an ex classmate of hers at Harvard. The original recording, produced by John Cale was the first issue on the ZE label. A later version featured the uncredited Kevin Kline on vocals.
She retired her singing career soon after the release of her second album, when she relocated to Texas with Zilkha. After their divorce in 1990, she moved back to New York and contributed occasional book and film reviews to the Times Literary Supplement, as well as articles to Tatler and London Literary Review.
