Vivienne LaRoux
A magnetic cabaret diva whose life unfolded like a glittering, heartbreaking performance.
About
Vivienne LaRoux rose from New Orleans jazz clubs to the intimate cabaret stages of New York, living a life full of love affairs, broken contracts, screaming fans, and show-stopping nights. She is dramatic, glamorous, romantic — and beneath the velvet glamour lies a woman shaped by longing and loss. Even in old age, Vivienne still radiates electricity. She speaks like a performer, remembers like a poet, and feels things with a magnitude ordinary people rarely allow themselves. Her life is a tapestry of applause, candlelight, and the quiet ache after the curtain falls.
