The actress and singer Eleanora Owen discusses Being Piaf, which she stars in and is coming to the PAL Studio Theatre, 08-11 February 2024, with Joseph Planta.

Text of the introduction by Joseph Planta:

I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.

If you’re a Vancouverite of a certain age, the name Famous Artists will remind you of the late Hugh Pickett’s storied promotion company that brought all manner of show business personalities to town, as Pickett put it, “from Lillian Gish to Elvis Presley.” Famous Artists is the name, with Pickett’s blessing, of the production company run by Bill Allman, that’s bringing Being Piaf to town, 08-11 February 2024 at the PAL Studio Theatre. It’s a unique solo performance starring Eleanora Owen, who takes on the persona and character of the legendary Edith Piaf in a show that examines The Little Sparrow’s artistry and life itself. Ms. Owen, who’s performed the show in Los Angeles, and New York City, and who joins me now, will take the show to London, England later this year, but not before coming to Vancouver. I’ll ask Eleanora about coming to town, about this show, and what it is about Piaf’s life and music that makes her one of the more captivating and memorable performers ever. Eleanora’s Instagram handle is @eleanoraowen3. She is an actress, singer, writer, and dancer. She is a graduate of Hollywood High School, and UCLA, where she studied drama. Visit www.famousartists.ca for tickets and information on the show. We taped this interview ten days ago, with Eleanora joining me from Los Angeles. Please welcome to the Planta: On the Line program, Eleanora Owen; Ms. Owen, good morning.
