Dylan and Françoise Hardy backstage at L'Olympia, 1966

In 1964, Dylan dedicated a poem to singer and actress Françoise Hardy who he had never met. This photo was taken on 24 May 1966 at l’Olympia, Paris after Dylan refused to return to the stage unless she was brought to him. She recalled that he looked like a vampire with yellow skin and long yellow fingernails. Later, at his 25th birthday party, at the George V, he took Hardy to his suite and serenaded her with I Want You” and Just Like a Woman. She later stated that “the thought that he was giving me a message with his songs did not cross my mind.” They never met again.
