On September 10, Mireille Dumas celebrated her 70th birthday. French journalist, director, producer and television host, who is also celebrating her 40th career is known for having collected the confidences of many personalities. From 2000 to 2011, she was notably at the helm of the show Private life, public life, followed by millions of French people. On September 29, the channel France 3 will thus pay him a beautiful tribute through the documentary The Mireille Dumas Yearsretracing these four decades of documentaries and unpublished interviews produced by the famous journalist.
To promote this documentary, Mireille Dumas gave an interview to the magazine TV 2 weeks in which she particularly remembers these interviews with celebrities. When asked if she has any regrets, Mireille Dumas regrets never having been able to speak with Jean-Jacques Goldman. “JI regret an interview that I was never able to do, with François Mitterrand. It was off to a good start, but his advisor, Jacques Pilhan, realized that the President could not make a program called Down the Masks. It’s true that at the time, there were still so many things we didn’t know, about his illness, about his daughter… I was never able to interview Jean-Jacques Goldman either!” she said.
Mireille Dumas: her hand extended to Pierre Palmade Mireille Dumas then talks about the stars she interviewed and who ended up becoming friends. Impossible not to mention the name of Pierre Palmade with whom she has become close over the years. “Pierre remains in my heart. I can’t turn my back on him” declares the journalist. “When we’re friends, we stay friends.” she adds while specifying that it is nevertheless a “complicated positioning.
A reaction that is the opposite of that of Muriel Robin who, very friendly with Pierre Palmade, decided to cut ties following the serious accident caused by the latter last February. Invited on RTL radio to promote her new play, Muriel Robin declared:“I’m not her friend anymore. I think more about the victims [de l’accident de voiture] than the person you’re talking about.”
