This Monday, March 6, 2023, art has decided to honor Simone Signoret, one of the greatest figures of the 7ᵉ art. More than 37 years ago, the famous actress died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 64. The final operation orchestrated a month before his death was not enough to save his life… Being a public figure, the star always preferred to hide his illness to preserve his image. Impossible for the actress to mention it in the media.
“Me, my grandmother, she had cancer at sixty-two, it was a shame”explained Benjamin Castaldi on the set of “Touche pas à mon poste” in January 2022. “We didn’t communicate, we didn’t say anything. She stayed at home, she did the treatment at home because we didn’t want to say we had cancer. The opportunity for Cyril Hanouna and his columnists to mention Florent Pagny who currently suffers from lung cancer. It is on the Web, that he also made this terrible announcement which shook the media so much…

“Today, speech is free…”
“I’m not going to be able to finish my 60th birthday tour. I have to cancel all of my concerts due to a health problem. Indeed, I have just been diagnosed with a tumor in the lung, a cancerous tumor that is not very sympathetic and cannot be operated on”, confided the artist in front of the camera in complete transparency. A moving speech that left no one unmoved.
“What should be emphasized […]that’s how much he brought people courage because he named the diseasebecause they have the feeling that they will fight at the same time as him for their own cancer or the cancer of someone in the family”, said Valérie Benaïm on the set of the talk show. A point of view shared by Benjamin Castaldi: “Today, speech is free, it is a message for all those who are sick and it is a lot of hope”.
