Mylene Farmer biography:

In 1984, Farmer met Laurent Boutonnat, a young film student also enrolled in Cours Florent, when Mylene Farmer replied to a newspaper ad for an actress for a small film Mylene Farmer was working on. Farmer and Boutonnat became friends and forged a creative partnership, writing and producing all her music. Boutonnat, whose ambition was to become a film director, was also the driving force behind Mylène’s videos. Much of Farmer's fame and success can be attributed to elaborate and theatrical music videos which are often eight minutes or longer. Her concerts and videos are often compared to those of Michael Jackson and Madonna (Pourvu qu'elles soient douces lasts 17 minutes, while "California" was directed by Abel Ferrara and cost $700,000).
Is a major recording star in Europe, especially in France. Mylene Farmer released her first video and single in 1984, and her first album in 1986. As of March 2002, Mylene Farmer has had ten albums, all huge hits in Europe.
Is featured in the Guinness Book of World Records twice: For top-selling single of all-time, for 1991's "Désenchantée", and for most exported album of all-time, for 1995's "Anamorphosée".
