Beauvais, Jeanne, 1917–2007.

Jeanne Beauvais (1917 – 2007) was born in New York City. Relatively little is known about her early life except that her American born mother and French born father relocated the family to Paris shortly after World War I. Her father died a short time later and she and her mother returned to New York where Beauvais developed her talents as a classical singer. At the height of her career, she performed for troops stationed overseas, and in operettas, musicals and recitals. Notable performances include Rosalinda, which opened at the Imperial Theater in 1942, and Mr. Strauss goes to Boston, performed in 1945.

During the 1940s, Beauvais took up residence in the artists' studio situated above Carnegie Hall. In addition to performing, she also taught singing.
