Yolanda Cristina Gigliotti (17 January 1933 – 3 May 1987), better known as Dalida, was an Egyptian-born Italian-French singer and actress who performed and recorded in more than ten languages, including Arabic, Italian, Greek, German, French, English, Japanese, Hebrew, Dutch and Spanish. In 1961, she acquired French citizenship upon marriage, while maintaining her original Italian one.
Dalida ranks among the six most popular singers in the world. Her sales figures today would amount to more than 170 million records worldwide, and that makes her one of the best-selling music artists ever. She is the most popular and best-selling singer in the French-speaking world, and one of the five best-selling female singers ever. Twice honoured with the Oscar mondial du succès du disque (the "World Oscar of Recording Success"), she is the only European singer to have won this Oscar more than once. Her 30-year career began in 1956 and ended with her last album in 1986, less than a year before her death. Her death led to an iconic image as a tragic diva and renowned singer. She received more than 70 gold records and was the first singer to receive a platinum and a diamond disc.
Dalida is a French and Italian two-parts-film for television directed by Joyce Buñuel released on TV in 2005. This movie tells Dalida's life.
