A figure of the French comedies of the 80s draws its last bow. On Tuesday, April 30th, we learned of the death of the popular star Anemone after a long illness. She was 68 years old.
For many, Anemone will remain the eternal Thérèse Santa Claus is a junk , a girl as nice as stuck, in love with his supervisor Thierry Lhermitte SOS Friendship.
In 1982, the year of the film, she is already 32 years old and has a long experience in the café-theater. Born Anne Bourguignon in a family of psychoanalysts, rebellious teen returned from his private school, the aspiring actress takes the wave of May 68 and frequents heralds of the counter-culture.
It was Philippe Garrel who made him turn in 1968 his first film entitled Anémone . A title that will become his stage name. For a long time, Anemone delights in playing seductive chicks as in Come home I live with a friend or My wife is called back .
A Caesar for Best Actress in 1988
It is her role as a peasant woman bereaved in The Great Road in 1987 that opens new registers. This film earned her the Caesar Award for Best Actress in 1988. She then appeared in comedies with a more personal tone. Tonie Marshall directs her, for example, as a liberated woman in Not Very Catholic .
Refusing the "star system", rarefying his appearances in the cinema, Anémone had been devoted in recent years to the theater and to citizen and environmental battles.
