Cinnamon and Prune, Passe-Montagne, Passe-Carreau and Passe-Partout, and so many other characters who have cradled the childhood of several generations of Quebecers, are in mourning.
Carmen Bourassa, who co-produced the first 125 episodes of the cult youth series, Master key, has passed away, announced his son Alexandre Lambert on his Facebook page.
“His generous work marked what generations of Quebec children have shared as a common popular culture,” Mr. Lambert paid tribute to him. She will have used all the power that TV had to inspire, console, cultivate in unison thousands of little neighbors… on your street… the one here. ”
As the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television wrote at the time, which awarded her its Grand Prix in 2009, “Carmen Bourassa has become a benchmark in the world of television”.
In addition to Master key, its name is linked to several other youth programs such as Zap, Graffiti, Bagpipes, Pin-Pon and Knock Knock knock. She had also contributed to the success of a series for teenagers, Pop Pumpkin.
She also managed the Youth and Family sector as well as that of Fiction and Human Relations at Télé-Québec before becoming a producer and also a designer at Téléfiction.
Carmen Bourassa also appears in the credits of the film The mysterious miss C as associate producer.
