So in the same sense that Chris Reeve was sometimes identified as Christopher “Superman” Reeve, she’s Rachel “Rachel” Rachel. How did they miss her for “The Rachel Papers”?
The film is an obscure French drama. Original title: Faux Fuyants
After coming out of a cinema, car driver Serge accidentally hits a man. Panic forces him to escape. Later, due to a guilty consciences, he decides to hang around the victim’s family.
This is her only IMDb credit, but she had a tiny taste of fame as a singer.
Birth name: Rachel Ortas. She was the lead singer of an indie French 80s pop group called Luna Parker that hit the charts with the single “Tes Etats d’âme Eric”. After the split of the group, Ms. Ortas released a couple of singles under the name Rachel Rachel and moved to London.
According to the Gogglenets:
Rachel Ortas is an illustrator, graphic artist, and artist in residence at Central St. Martins, London. She is also one of the creators and founders of Okido, a children’s art and science magazine that blends education with fun.
That’s the same Rachel Ortas, because her Instagram page includes a few ancient pics from her singing days.
Maybe she’s just a big Joanne Woodward fan?
Around that same time there also was Lisa Lisa and Duran Duran. And Mister Mister.
Don’t forget Talk Talk, with their hit song “Talk Talk.”
Ad Wet,Wet,Wet.
And Big Country with their smash hit Big Country.
Everbody Wang Chung tonight
I decline to Wang Chung on this or any subsequent night. I hear Maury Povich is usually up for it though.
I don’t think that option is open to you. If I am not mistaken, the requirement is that EVERYBODY Wang Chung tonight.
Excellent point. I, for one, will not be Wang Chunging tonight. It is too hot.
Sorry, didn’t realize it was mandatory. But if EVERYbody’s wanging Chung tonight, we better plan on Connie sleeping late tomorrow morning.
And I’ve got to wonder – will the last few guys in line to Wang Chung actually ‘have fun tonight’?
It’s such a goddam stupid song but also a ridiculous earworm. I’ve been humming it all day. Who was the idiot who brought it up?
Oh, right . . .
A pity Rachel Rachel’s movie career did not last longer. She could have been in “Rochelle, Rochelle” in the 1990’s.
A young woman’s strange, erotic journey from Milan to Minsk?
Oh, I thought it was the young woman’s strange erotic journey from Schenectady to Yonkers. I always get those places mixed up with Milan and Minsk.
She reminds me of a French Siouxsie Sioux. Charlotte Gainsbourg too, although she’s more alternative than new romantic.
