25 years that Mimie Mathy accompanies the evenings of the French with her smile and her legendary good humor in Josephine, guardian angel. Several years after his arrival on TF1, the actress still fascinates and her success does not seem to run out of steam. Moreover, she owes her 25 years of success in part to Jean-Pierre Foucault, as she confided to our colleagues at Parisian this Monday, December 26.
Benoist Gérard’s companion indicates that it was a specific TV movie that allowed him to be spotted by the first channel: “A nanny like no other”which had, at the time, gathered 12.8 million viewers, on France 2. Still very surprised by this success today, Mimie Mathy remembers: “we found ourselves in the Book of Records”. A success that led her to be invited by Jean-Pierre Foucault in Sacred evening. At the time, the animator and the actress were in competition but that did not prevent him from being a good player and saluting his success.
Jean-Pierre Foucault and the highlighting of Mimie Mathy
“At the time, Jean-Pierre Foucault himself called me to say: ‘Thank you, you have tamed us!’ And with producer Gérard Louvin, they had flowers delivered to my house”she remembered before specifying: “We did a sequel, A Girl Like No Other, the following year, and this time they had flowers delivered to me that very evening, saying to me, ‘We know you’re going to win tomorrow’ “.
Being featured on TF1, enabled her, a few years later, to collaborate with the chain that she had competed with in the past. The one who suffers physically and psychologically according to Ingrid Chauvin later admitted that Jean-Pierre Foucault’s gesture still marks her: “I found it very elegant, whereas I never had flowers from France 2, which offered me nothing afterwards”.
