On September 12, art will honor the film Staviskyworn by Jean-Paul Belmondo and Anny Duperey. The work conquered the crowds in 74. On the screen, Bebel embodies a wealthy owner who is famous for scams. As for the actress, she plays the role of Arlette, his wife. For the occasion, Anny Duperey agreed to grant an interview to our colleagues from Tele-Leisure.
If the duo has become inseparable over the years, the filming of Stavisky was not easy… “I must admit that the current did not pass between us! This despite what his friend, the make-up artist Charly Koubesserian, had told me, whom I knew well, and who was devastated by the climate between us! Jean-Paul Belmondo was in his ‘puffball’ era”, remembered the artist. The opportunity for her to describe her ex-partner on the screen.
“I must have been the type of woman that scared him…”
As a reminder, the former husband of Natty Tardivel was 37 years old. Or 10 years older than the actress. “He still had a somewhat misogynistic relationship with women, which was not my cup of tea. He then lived with a luscious Italian woman who put her breasts squarely on the table (actress Laura Antonelli, who died in 2015, editor’s note). In short, let’s say that he liked women ‘cushions’, to put it mildly. However, I was a very free girl, not at all a ‘submissive doll’. To be honest, I must have been the type of woman who scared him.added Anny Duperey.
But the two stars will finally find themselves many years later. “We met at the exit of a theater. I went to see him and told him how stupid we had been on Stavisky, that it was a shame that it didn’t catch on. Well, from that day on, he came to see me every time I performed on stage. We often ate together. A great friendship was born between us, which never wavered until his death. specified the happy mother of two children and to conclude with philosophy: “We had finally passed the age of seduction and childishness”.
