This news magazine, presented live by Laurent Delahousse just after the 8 p.m. news on France 2, reveals the little story in the big one, to leaf through like a family album.
This new issue of “8:30 p.m. on Saturday” (X) presents two extraordinary characters with the rebirth of Romy Schneider thanks to the cult film The swimming pooland the thousand and one lives of Amanda Lear, a muse like no other.

For Amanda Lear, the most important thing is to have a rich, intense life, full of exceptional encounters. Salvador Dali was one of them. However, don’t think that she was content to play the docile muse: no one can put Amanda Lear in a cage…
