September 14, 2007 marks a sad date in the media world. Indeed, it was on this tragic day that Jacques Martin, famous radio and television host, died, leaving behind a grieving family including 8 children. Recently interviewed by our colleagues from Gala magazine as the broadcast of the documentary “Behind your applause” approaches, Élise Martin, the actor’s eldest daughter, confided in her father’s legacy. According to her, Jacques Martin had thought of everything. ” He had done it right, yes. And then, in general, I think that in the family no one would have liked to engage in legal battles that last for years “, she explained before returning to the last confidences of her father.
Before dying, Jacques Martin wanted to open his heart to his daughter. ” He did it a little with me, but he was so modest… However, I managed to have moments of conversation with him and I am very happy today. We mentioned in particular the fact that we had had parallel lives, that our paths had not really crossed. I have always suffered a lot from his absence “.
A divided family
Élise Martin also added that at the end of her life, her father ” didn’t want to see anyone anymore. Like a wounded animal, he ducked in a corner and hid from all “. Since then, family ties have somewhat dissolved. ” There are already four who live abroad: Judith and Jeanne, Cecilia’s daughters (Attias, editor’s note), are one in New York and the other in England, I believe that my youngest sister, Juliette , is in Switzerland and Clovis, the youngest, I don’t know (the brother and sister were born of the love between the host and Céline Boisson, editor’s note)… Those that my brother David and I see regularly, that’s is Frédéric and Jean-Baptiste, the children dad had with his second wife, Danièle Evenou “.
