Diane Dufresne
Diane Dufresne, CQ, CM, singer, actress, writer, painter (born 30 September 1944 in Montreal, QC). The first female “rocker” of the francophone world, Diane Dufresne is a popular singer whose dramatic manner and highly distinctive, provocative vocal style have been strongly identified with Quebec. Often compared to Édith Piaf for her sensitive and powerful performances, Dufresne was one of the most popular performers in France in the 1980s. Nicknamed "La Diva" and "La Dufresne," her performances in Quebec are synonymous with sold-out houses. She has won the Governor General's Performing Arts Award and several Félix Awards and has been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. A Member of the Order of Canada, she is also a Chevalière of the Ordre national du Québec and France’s Ordre des arts et des lettres and Legion of Honour.
