Disappearance of Patrick Poivey, Catherine Deneuve resumes filming, Penny Lane threatened, Benjamin Biolay angry and archives for Johnny

The Culture Journal begins with the disappearance of an essential voice. 

A voice that is one of the most famous French voices, that of Patrick Poivey, the voice actor of Bruce Willis, Tom Cruise in "Mission Impossible" or Don Johson. Patrick Poivey died at the age of 72. He also lent his voice to cartoons, documentaries, radio covers and advertisements. Many personalities have paid tribute to him since Tuesday by speaking in an unforgettable, memorable voice that we will never forget. 

Catherine Deneuve goes back to filming.

After a stroke in November, the actress had to stop shooting the film by Emmanuelle Bercot entitled "In her lifetime". Today, Catherine Deneuve "is fully recovered" and will therefore resume on July 6. During the entire treatment, Catherine Deneuve responded very well to the treatment. She was very quickly taken care of. During the confinement, the actress was quite present on social networks, she was also one of the signatories of the forum published in Le Monde in May in favor of the extension of the rights of intermittent workers.

For some artists, culture is not promoted enough by the government.

This is the case of Benjamin Biolay. Following the speech by Emmanuel Macron last Sunday who therefore did not announce a deconfinement of the entertainment world, the artist reacted by deploring in particular the non-involvement of the government and in particular of the Minister of Culture Franck Riester. He said that in the current government's thinking software, culture with state aid was heresy. Benjamin Biolay believes that, in the future, there will need a Minister of Culture who is a heavyweight in politics. For the world of current music, it will be very complicated to continue, since the current standards during a concert are "standing audience prohibited, 4m2 for one person and closing of the bar". Everything is going to be very complicated economically. All regret a lack of visibility on the part of the authorities. 

We move on to another subject, a famous street in London could disappear. 

"Penny Lane" by The Beatles, so it's the street name in Liverpool. Several activists crossed out the name of this street Penny Lane during demonstrations against racial discrimination following the Black Lives Matter movement since it would refer to James Penny, an anti-abolitionist slave trader. "Penny Lane" appears in an exhibition at the International Slavery Museum in Liverpool. In contrast, the Museum said the connection between James Penny and the Beatles' song street is unclear. They said the evidence was inconclusive. Museum teams are researching this issue. The mayor of Liverpool, meanwhile, refuses to change the name of "Penny Lane". For him, there is no evidence. Some residents were very shocked that this sign had been vandalized. Some have volunteered to clean it up.

This journal ends with love messages for Johnny Hallyday at the National Archives.

The rocker enters the National Archives. Johnny Hallyday should have been 77 years old on June 15. Many paid tribute to him and left messages in memory notebooks sheltered within the Church of the Madeleine. 40,000 messages from anonymous admirers (photos, drawings) will therefore reach the institution. All these messages are taken from the 54 gold books opened in tribute to the prisoner shortly after his death in 2017. The fans tell part of their life with Johnny Hallyday, anecdotes, memories. These archives will be available for free and free access as soon as sanitary conditions allow.
