illustration, paintings) or cinematographic (The Blood of a Poet, Orpheus, Beauty and the Beast),
107_118
is pervaded with homosexual undertones, homoerotic imagery/symbolism or camp. In 1947 Paul Morihien
107_119
published a clandestine edition of Querelle de Brest by Jean Genet, featuring 29 very explicit
107_120
erotic drawings by Cocteau. In recent years several albums of Cocteau's homoerotica have been
107_121
available to the general public.
107_122
It is widely believed that Cocteau had affairs with Raymond Radiguet, Jean Desbordes, Marcel Khill,
107_123
and Panama Al Brown.
107_124
In the 1930s, Cocteau is rumoured to have had a very brief affair with Princess Natalie Paley, the
107_125
daughter of a Romanov Grand Duke and herself a sometime actress, model, and former wife of
107_126
couturier Lucien Lelong.
107_127
Cocteau's longest-lasting relationships were with French actors Jean Marais and Édouard Dermit,
107_128
whom Cocteau formally adopted. Cocteau cast Marais in The Eternal Return (1943), Beauty and the
107_129
Beast (1946), Ruy Blas (1947), and Orpheus (1949).
107_130
Death
107_131
Cocteau died of a heart attack at his château in Milly-la-Forêt, Essonne, France, on 11 October
107_132
1963 at the age of 74. His friend, French singer Édith Piaf, died the day before but that was
107_133
announced on the morning of Cocteau's day of death; it has been said, in a story which is almost
107_134
certainly apocryphal, that his heart failed upon hearing of Piaf's death. Cocteau's health had
107_135
already been in decline for several months, and he had previously had a severe heart attack on 22
107_136
April 1963. A more plausible suggestion for the reason behind this decline in health has been
107_137
proposed by author Roger Peyrefitte, who notes that Cocteau had been devastated by a breach with
107_138
his longtime friend, socialite and notable patron Francine Weisweiller, as a result of an affair
107_139
she had been having with a minor writer. Weisweiller and Cocteau did not reconcile until shortly
107_140
before Cocteau's death.
107_141
According to his wishes Cocteau is buried beneath the floor of the Chapelle Saint-Blaise des
107_142
Simples in Milly-la-Forêt. The epitaph on his gravestone set in the floor of the chapel reads: "I
107_143
stay with you" ("Je reste avec vous").
107_144
Honours and awards
107_145
In 1955, Cocteau was made a member of the Académie Française and The Royal Academy of Belgium.
107_146

107_147
German Academy (Berlin), American Academy, Mark Twain (U.S.A) Academy, Honorary President of the
107_148
