Georgette Leblanc was a French operatic soprano, actress, author, and the sister of novelist Maurice Leblanc. She became particularly associated with the works of Jules Massenet and was an admired interpreter of the title role in Bizet's Carmen. In the last few decades of her life she turned to writing, producing two commercially successful autobiographies and several children's books and travelogues.
