This Sunday at 6 PM, at the Parc du Château des Terrasses, Brigitte Fossey will be reading excerpts from “The Old Man and the Sea” by Ernest Hemingway (Gallimard).
Brigitte Fossey began her career at the age of five, playing the role of Paulette in the film “Forbidden Games” directed by René Clément. The success was such that she was even presented to Queen Elizabeth II of England. With her roles in the 1970s (“Chance and Violence”, “The Brigade”, “Going Places”, “Calmos”, “Honey’s Flowers”, “The Blue Country”, “The Man Who Loved Women”), she became one of the great stars of her generation. In 1980, she was chosen to play Sophie Marceau’s mother in “La Boum” and met with extraordinary success. The actress then dedicated herself to television, appearing in notable series such as “The Mogadors” and “The Olive Tree Castle”, for which she won a 7 d’or award for Best Actress in 1994. Alongside her acting career, Brigitte Fossey supports the actions of ATD Fourth World against poverty. Notably, she participated in the production of a record, “Words for Tomorrow”, in May 2000.
