Catherine Deneuve is one of the film’s headliners midwife broadcast this Sunday evening on France 2. The actress plays Béatrice Sobolevski, an inveterate card player alongside Catherine Frot (Claire Breton), Olivier Gourmet (Paul), Quentin Dolmaire (Simon) or even Mylène Demongeot (Rolande).
On the private side, Catherine Deneuve – who will celebrate her 79th birthday on October 22 – has been the wife of many men. Among them, the director Roger Vadim with whom she had a son, Christian Vadim in 1963, the London photographer David Bailey, the Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni with whom she had a daughter, Chiara Mastroianni in 1972, the man of business Bertrand de Labbey and the journalist and former president of the Cannes Film Festival Pierre Lescure.
The latter has been married since 1996 to Frédérique Fayles-Bernstein who was the last companion of Coluche before his death on June 19, 1986. The latter had even presented his companion to his mother. For Frédérique Fayles-Bernstein, who is nicknamed “little Fred”, the death of her spouse at the time was a huge shock. Fortunately, she found love alongside Pierre Lescure with whom she adopted a daughter, Nina, in Vietnam in 1999.
Guest of Jordan De Luxe in May 2020, the latter had mentioned the adoption of his daughter: “I was not very young and we wanted to have a child quickly so that I could enjoy it as long as possible with her. So she suggested that we already apply for adoption, which we were able to do. At the time, there were not yet all the procedures”he had testified before adding: “My wife went to discover the child one day in January 1999. She stayed four months there for all the steps that went smoothly with the Vietnamese authorities.”
Does Pierre Lescure still have good relations with his ex Catherine Deneuve? Invited by Michel Denisot on Europe 1 on July 3, 2021, the journalist and TV columnist had fondly evoked his years spent alongside the actress. “The happiness that I had – beyond being around and living with this extraordinary actress, because she has one of the most extraordinary filmographies in the history of French cinemais that I have rarely seen someone so grounded in life“, he had said.
