Christie laume biography

I was born to a Greek orthodox family during World War II, February 4, 1942 in Paris, France. It was on a cold snowy winter night that my parents wrapped me in a blanket and brought me home from the hospital in an open carriage. They couldn’t find a taxi. I grew up in a suburb of Paris, in a house that my parents bought just before the war. I began singing at a very early age with my brother. I was only three years old and loved to perform for my family and friends. At seven years old I sang on the radio in a children’s show. I continued to sing for pleasure throughout my adolescence.

My mother started to take my brother and I to the movies at an early age. The musicals were among our favorites. When I was seventeen, with the encouragement of my parents, I went to a beauty salon school in Paris. My parents were very conservative, very loving and protective. I wanted to be a beautician on the ship, Le France, which sailed from Le Havre to New York. This desire frightened my parents. They talked to my brother and Edith and shared their concerns about me.

My name is Christie Laume. I am the sister of Theo Sarapo who married the great singer Edith Piaf in 1962 in Paris. I lived with them in Paris during this time. I was only 20 years old.

I am writing 3 biographies. One is dedicated to my sister-in-law, Edith Piaf, her life, her career, our time together and our talks. One biography is dedicated to my brother, Theo Sarapo, his life and career, and our close relationship. And my autobiography.

Since my brother’s death, Theo Sarapo, in 1970, many questions came to my mind. Why are people born? Why do people die? Since my divorce, being alone, raising my children at an early age, and loving them so much, many other questions cam to my mind. What is the best way to raise them? I made a personal commitment. I turned totally to the Lord Jesus Christ and read the Bible every day for direction, love and comfort.

Because I have been asked so many questions from many people for the past 40 years, I am in the process of writing my memoirs on Theo and Edith, and the life I lived with them.
