Born under the name of Léonie Bathiat, she became Arletty (1898-1992) beginning her career as an actress and singer, first in magazines before devoting herself to theater and cinema.

Publicity

She embodies a popular Parisian figure, notably thanks to her role as Mme Raymonde in “Hôtel du Nord”, by Marcel Carné in 1938, in which she released the famous line “  Atmosphere! Atmosphere! Do I have a mouthful of atmosphere?  "

But also  :
- An interview with Stanislas Nordey , director of the National Theater of Strasbourg and director. He evokes the resumption of work in a national theater, rehearsals to prepare the next season and the program he set up this summer to find the set and the public. The director's new creation, Berlin mon fils , adapted from Marie Ndiaye's play, will be performed in March 2021, a year after its initial programming.

- The chronicle " En bons terms " with Pierrette Crouzet Daurat, head of the Mission for the development and enrichment of the French language at the DGLFLF (General Delegation for the French language and the languages ​​of France) , which suggests another term for clickbait or "hooker to click".
