Singer. With a soprano voice and what many considered haunting violet eyes, she was popular in Paris music halls during the 1920s. The Surrealist Robert Desnos was obsessed with George and dedicated two volumes of poetry to her, "A La Mysterieuse" (1926) and "Les Tenebres" (1927). Suffering from tuberculosis, she retired from the stage in 1928 and moved to Genoa, where she died. George's handful of recordings are available on a CD.
