Concerns about the queen of French cinema: Catherine Deneuve, 76, suffered a stroke "very limited and therefore reversible," ensures his family, and was hospitalized on Wednesday, November 6, in Paris. According to the statement sent to AFP by her agent Claire Blondel, the actress suffered "an ischemic stroke".
"Fortunately, she has no motor deficit and must of course take some time off," says the same source. No further details were given, while Le Parisien said in the morning that the actress was a victim of "discomfort in the night from Tuesday to Wednesday."
The terms used in the press release do not allow to say with certainty of what was the victim victim. In the less severe hypothesis, it may be a transient ischemic attack (TIA), which is a transient form of stroke.

Like stroke, TIA is caused by the interruption of blood circulation that deprives the affected areas of the brain of oxygen. In the case of AIT, the symptoms usually last less than an hour before disappearing, but this is nevertheless a real emergency, which should not be neglected: indeed, a TIA must be taken care of quickly because it greatly increases the chances of a stroke in the days that follow.
Stroke is a serious condition that mainly affects the elderly and can lead to sequelae requiring long-term care.

For several weeks now, Catherine Deneuve has been filming Emmanuelle Bercot's upcoming film, "In her lifetime," sharing the bill with Benoît Magimel and Cécile de France.
It is one of the most beautiful careers of the 7th art. Revealed by "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" by Jacques Demy in 1964, she played with the greatest directors, from Roman Polanski to Luis Bunuel or André Téchiné and Lars von Trier. Born October 22, 1943 in a family of comedians, she was first in the shadow of her younger sister Françoise Dorléac, who shone in the cinema before tragically dying in a car accident in 1967.
