Timeline
Fran Jeffries (born Frances Ann Makris; May 18, 1937 – December 15, 2016) was an American singer, dancer, actress, and model.
Jeffries was born Frances Ann Makris on May 18, 1937, in Palo Alto, California, the daughter of Esther A. (née Gautier) and Steven G. Makris, a Greek-immigrant barbershop owner.
Jeffries sang with Bob Scobey's orchestra for a year.
While she was married to Dick Haymes, they had a nightclub act together.
During this time, Haymes asked songwriter-pianist Dave Frishberg to "write something for Fran -- a cute, sexy piece," which became Frishberg's classic song "Peel Me a Grape."
Jeffries's film debut came in the 1958 film The Buccaneer. She appeared in the 1963 film The Pink Panther, in which she sang "Meglio Stasera (It Had Better Be Tonight)" while leading a line-dance with Peter Sellers, David Niven, and others.
Her supporting role as a professional entertainer in Sex and the Single Girl featured her as a singer-dancer.
Her last film role was in A Talent for Loving, directed by then-husband Richard Quine.
On set, "The Quines were constantly quarreling," according to writer Anne Edwards, who was married to one of the producers.
"Fran Jeffries was a singer, not an actress, and did not like her role, especially the scarcity of her scenes. By the end of shooting, she had filed for divorce."
Jeffries had a daughter, Stephanie, with second husband Dick Haymes (1958–1965).
"Sex and the Single Girl" was released on MGM in 1964 as a single and an LP.
She also sang the songs "Meglio Stasera" and "The Anniversary Song" in films.
She was then married to director Richard Quine (1965–1970) and Steven Schaeffer (1971–1973).
In 1966, Jeffries recorded an album for Monument Records entitled This Is Fran Jeffries, which was a collection of standards and popular songs, produced by Fred Foster with arrangements by Dick Grove and Bill Justis, including a rendition of Lennon–McCartney's "Yesterday".
Jeffries sang on The Tom Jones Show in 1969 with the host, doing a duet of "You've Got What it Takes," as well as The Smokey Robinson Show the following year, in which she did solo numbers as well as a duet with Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder and the rest of the cast.
She was featured in Playboy in the February 1971 issue (Volume 18 Number 2) at the age of 33 in a pictorial titled "Fran-tastic!"
Jeffries also performed on Bob Hope's final USO tour of Vietnam in December 1972.
In September 1982 she posed a second time for Playboy, this time at the age of 45.
This second pictorial (Volume 29 Number 9) was titled "Still Fran-tastic!"
In 2000, she released a recording All the Love, again a collection of standards.
Jeffries died from multiple myeloma on December 15, 2016, in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 79.
