The last love of Edith Piaf

At the age of 26, Theophanis Lamboukas meets Edith Piaf, in January 1962. He is to become her second husband and the duo will perform her last big hit, 'A quoi ca sert l'amour?'
When the star's secretary, Claude Figus, introduces them to each other, Theo is so dazzled by 'the Little Sparrow' that he is speechless with emotion. Smitten, Edith confides to Figus, 'I want to see your friend again so I can find out whether he's as smart as he is good-looking, because he hasn't said a word all evening.'
They are driven to see each other again and Piaf encourages Theo to take up a career as a singer. She invents his stage name, Sarapo ('I love you' in Greek). They form a couple in life and on the stage, until Piaf's death on the 10th October, 1963. Theo, her last love, joins her seven years later, victim of a car accident.
Their wonderful and tragic story is evoked here by Christie Laume; the singer's last months as they've never been revealed before.
