Origin: Jeanne Florentine Bourgeois, nicknamed “Mistinguett” (1875-1956) was a popular French actress and singer who had her debut at the Casino de Paris in 1985. Her risqué routines captured the minds of Parisians and she went on to become the most popular and highest paid female entertainer in the world. She was so famous her legs were insured for 500,000 francs in 1919. I guess you could say, she was kind of a big deal. First use: 2012
