My Take
Amanda Lear might be the greatest act of self-invention in European pop culture. Dalí's muse for two decades, a Paco Rabanne model, then a disco queen with that unmistakable smoky voice on Follow Me, then a painter honored by the French state — and through it all she kept her own biography deliberately blurry, which I consider part of the artwork. What I admire is the control: she understood decades before social media that a persona is something you author yourself. Most performers have careers; Lear built a myth, and she is still curating it past eighty. That takes intelligence as much as glamour.
