We lost today one of the greatest actresses of French and world cinema. Annie Girardot died Monday as a result of Alzheimer's disease. " She left peacefully. Mom and I were at his side ... "wished to clarify his granddaughter Lola Vogel .
Coming of the French comedy, Annie Girardot was soon to be Name the movie thanks a unique talent makes a very compelling banter French allied with a fiery well served by a rare sensitivity and sincerity of the game, as comfortable in comedy (the masterpiece of innovative Erotissimo Gerard Pires in 1968 must live dangerously of Claude Makovski in 1975 Tender chicken and Stolen thigh of Jupiter Philippe de Broca in 1977 and 1980, the discord Claude Zidi of in 1978 Go ahead Mom of Nicole Buron in 1980) than in dramatic roles ( Maigret Sets a Trap of Jean Delannoy in 1957, Rocco and His Brothers of Luchino Visconti in 1960, Shock Treatment of Alain Jessua in 1972) or intimate ( Living to live and A man I like to Claude Lelouch in 1967 and 1969, Dying to love of Cayatte in 1971, The Old Maid of Jean-Pierre Blanc in 1972 , The slap of Claude Pinoteau in 1974, Dr. Francoise Gailland of Jean-Louis Bertucelli in 1975, Pianist Michael Haneke of in 2001).
His career was very abundant, with more than 100 feature films from 1950 to 2001 and dozens of creations at the theater (whose coronation was Mrs Margaret in 1974 with great success Public and critical) but also dozens of TV dramas. Many figured his films at the box office, and for the people of the profession's name was synonymous Girardot long profitability and quality. But the wheel turns ... From the mid 80's the break, continued the fiasco of the room she had ridden with her then-companion (actor Bod Decout ) that caused it severe financial problems and a scarcity of proposals roles. In the 90s the young generation filmmakers seems unfortunately not very excited yet very rich palette of this unconventional actress. In the mid-2000s, the news was made official: Annie Girardot suffers from Alzheimer's disease and treated by his family including his courageous daughter Giulia Salvatori (fruit of the great love of Annie with actor Renato Salvatori ).
In September 2008 a documentary directed by Nicolas Beaulieu is broadcast on channel TF1. It chronicles the daily lives of the actress about the disease and showed particular dedication shown by those who love him and help him through this ordeal. We understand that this document during the actress gradually loses the memory of herself: she has trouble keeping aware of the great actress immensely popular that it was. The last picture shows her sitting on a park bench. The film crew is at few meters and observes the scene, dumbfounded: Annie has forgotten a few seconds it was filmed, and seems lost, asking for help to passersby and trying to understand what it is there ...
Now she is gone, we still have his films that one can revert to the environment while recognizing what an actress of genius it was, beautiful, talented, daring, funny, in mind so bright. And who will remain well on film, forever, by the grace of the 7th art.
