Jill Hyem
Jill Hyem (8 January 1937 – 5 June 2015) was a British radio and television writer and former actress.
Early life and acting career
Hyem was born in 1937 in Putney, the daughter of Hilda (née Gladwell) and Rex, a solicitor, and was raised in Devon and East Sheen.
Hyem attended Farlington School, a boarding school in West Sussex, from the age of ten, and studied at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art. Early experience as an actress saw her perform at the Connaught Theatre Worthing, where one of her roles was as Eliza Doolittle in Pygmalion, and in films such as The Trunk (1961) with Phil Carey. In 1962 she made her West End debut in Goodnight Mrs Puffin with Irene Handl.
On television, Hyem appeared in Richard the Lionheart (1962) with Dermot Walsh, Dixon of Dock Green (two episodes 1959 and 1960), Sergeant Cork (one episode, 1964), and as Peggy Briggs, the daughter of Jimmy Edwards and Beryl Reid, in the comedy series Bold as Brass (1964).
Playing various minor roles persuaded Hyem that she would do better as a writer and create more challenging parts for women.

Je L Aime
Mon histoire est une histoire
Comme on en voit tous les jours
On croit pouvoir s'aimer pour la vie
Ce que l'on a cru à jour
On veut y croire pour toujours
Mais déjà on se perd dans la nuit
Je l'aime
Je l'aime
Quand je lui disais qu'un jour
Il faudrait bien se quitter
Elle semblait se détourner de moi
Pourtant elle cachait ses yeux
Dans ses cheveux pour pleurer
Je cherche encore à savoir pourquoi
Je l'aime
Je l'aime
Je ne l'oublierai jamais
Je la cherche dans les rues
Comme un fou
Je crois entendre sa voix
Et il me semble la trouver partout
Partout
Je l'aime
Je l'aime
Ne lui a-t-on pas appris
Lorsqu'elle n'était qu'une enfant
Que le temps est souvent le plus fort
Les défaites de la vie
Marquent un garçon pour longtemps
Le saura-t-elle quand je serai mort
Je l'aime
Je l'aime
Je l'aime
Je l'aime...
