It
is with great sadness that I learned lon July 12, 2021, of the death of our dearest Marion Sarraut. I sincerely adored Dame Marion, she was
generosity personified towards my friends and myself
concerning the world of Juliette Benzoni. She was
never at a loss for a request and shared with me all
her memories of the filming of 'Catherine, il suffit
d'un amour, Marianne, une étoile pour Napoléon,
Le Gerfaut
(The Lure of the
Falcon) and
La Florentine. She was simply said, my
fairy godmother.
I am devastated at the moment. My thoughts are with
Julie, her dear daughter and all her family. We will
never forget Marion Sarraut, the world of television
ows you very much!
Dearest Lady Marion, thank you for all you gave us
during the many years you worked for television and
the theatre. You were a wonderful, warm and generous
woman. I admired you very much and I am deeply
saddened... Linda, webmaster

Marion Sarraut - director for television -
director on stage
Born :
August
13, at Saigon, Indochina
Granddaughter of Albert Sarraut, President of the
Council and Minister of the Third Republic
Mother of beautiful actress Julie Odekerken Sarraut.
Marion Sarraut started her career very early in her
life. She was first actress and filmed with
important directors. One of her roles was in
A Woman is a Woman
by Jean-Luc Godard. In 1970 she began very
successfully as TV-director - amongst others there
was Numéro 1 a variety show with celebrated
stars - along shows for children. At the beginning
of the Eighties, she started with the realization of
bringing to life series and well known bestsellers
for television. Her success was enormous - and gave
the viewers many unforgettable pleasurable, happy
hours on TV. For which we are enormously thankful.
Is she not the phenomenal director who bestowed us «
Catherine Il
suffit d'un amour, Marianne,
Le Gerfaut and La Florentine » written by
the celebrated
Juliette Benzoni,
the Queen of History Books ?
Extract of an article to be found in « Revue
de Presse » by Brigitte Sarraut March 1986
The director of this
series is not one of those TV specialists of
self-satisfaction who seek publicity at all costs.
Her
career, on the other hand, is eloquent.
Marion Sarraut is one of the two
granddaughters of French President Albert Sarraut
(her sister is Brigitte Sarraut, press Agent at
Antenne 2) Marion followed three years of comedy
classes on rue Blanche.
At the same time, she is a documentalist in
the "Cahiers du cinéma".
Assistant and script since 1970, she tackles the realization three years
later.
Her record is rich and varied.
One hundred and fifty variety shows for the Carpentiers, Jacques Chancel
(notably Joan Baez, Marie Laforêt).
Admirer of Nina Companeez and Agnes Varda.
Henry Spade entrusts her with a few series in "Amours" at 1:30 pm, which
revealed so many young actors.
First, "Marianne, a
star for Napoleon", where she launches Corinne
Touzet in a leading role, and now "Catherine"...
Honours :
Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur (highest French
honorary decoration)
Chevalier des Art des letters ( Order of Arts and
letters - awarded by the Minister of Culture.
Administratrice de la Fondation Ostad Elahi, éthique
et solidarité humaine.
Membre du Conseil d'Administration de la SACEM

The touching message on Facebook by Serge LAMA
BON
VOYAGE MARION
by Serge Lama (Author-Composer-French Singer)
My dear Marion Sarraut, it's already almost a week
since you passed away, and my heart is still as sad as
before. You have accompanied my life and the life of all
artists, during the most beautiful part of our lives. We
were young, reckless, undisciplined, and with your hand
in a velvet glove you led us through the Carpentier sets.
Many television channels are still happy about it. It's
too late to say thank you, but I said it to you quite
recently during a radio broadcast.
Have a good trip if it is one. We are all thinking of
you from the bottom of our hearts.
Serge Lama
SOME ARTICLES CONCERNING THE CATHERINE SERIES 1986
We see on the picture the
production manager for (Marianne, Catherine and the Lure of
the Falcon) the distinguished Catherine Jurquet to
whom Juliette Benzoni dedicated the third book of the series
Les Loups de Lauzargues
« Hortense au point du Jour »
:
« To Catherine Jurguet,
with the same affection »
Why Claudine Ancelot ?
« I did see a hundred young
girls for the role. I always do my casting alone and I want
to meet everyone. I couldn't bear it if someone chose an
actor for me. As soon as I saw her in my office, I
immediately noticed that she was very well disposed and at
ease. In short: she was made for the role..
~ Marion Sarraut, the director
Why blond and not
black-haired ?
... at the same time, I would
like to say all the praises I have for the young actor who
plays the role of Arnaud, Pierre-Marie Escourrou. For
me, he is an instinctive actor like Kirk Douglas.
It's funny, at the beginning, he didn't exactly correspond
to the idea I had of the character he plays: dark, angry,
surly. You could have thought of someone like Alain Delon.
And yet, in the end, after an audition, I chose this young
blond man who played Jesus under the direction of
Robert Hossein » ~ Marion Sarraut, the director.
Weekend 29
mars 1986
Marion Saraut
«
I handled my horses like diamonds »
The director chose
Andalusian horses.
« Because they are
beautiful and a bit showy. So they are excellent actors»
she says. But they sometimes played tricks on them in their
own way !

On February
20, 2020
my discovery on Ebay
that I couldn't resist!
For years I have been indebted to my dear
friend 'Dame Marion' ' since the day I
created my website in
2008.
Marion has supported me with her personal
material concerning the television series
Catherine, il suffit d'un amour. That is,
articles from 1985 - 1986, never seen photos
from the set - but then, not only of
Catherine, but also of Marianne,
Le Gerfaut and La Florentine.
From our first meeting, she warmly embraced
us and accepted us with open arms into the 'illustrious
circle' of all those who belonged to the
'Benzoni/Sarraut family'. The lovely Marion
is my 'fairy godmother', without her we
would never have been able to establish the
links we have today with the former stars.
It was also Marion who hugged and comforted
us on that sad day in 2016 in the church in
'Saint-Mandé', where we had to say goodbye
to Juliette Benzoni.
So I think/hope it's me who can surprise her
today with a rare item from 1977 (when we
were still waiting for the seventh book in
the Catherine series) I came across this
item on Ebay. I didn't care how much it cost,
I didn't even finish reading it - I just
clicked on BUY THIS ITEM...
The journalist tells the story of this
beautiful young woman who has a great
success with her music show Numéro Un,
the most popular show every Saturday night
on France 1 (with stars like Johnny Hallyday,
Mireille Mathieu, Serge Lama, France Gall,
Dalida to mention a few...). Indeed, it was
a great night for hunting souvenirs last
night for me. ...

Critique in
Télé-Loisirs.fr
Full of good feelings, this unpretentious
family comedy offers an entertaining and
tender moment. The actors - adults and
children alike - deliver a fair performance.
Special mention should be made of Romane
Bohringer and Bernard Yerlès, who play a
couple as credible as they are endearing.
This drama also deals nicely with the
strength of twin relationships.
Also a beautiful
interview with Dame Marion Sarraut in this
article.
LE PREMIER ÉTÉ 2014
Film for television by Dame Marion Sarraut
Synopsis :
It's been more than fifteen years since
Catherine (Romane Bohringer) and her sister
Angélique returned to the Ain, where Grandma
Madeleine and Grandpa Robert used to receive
them in the summer. Angélique has started a
family. Catherine, who is passionate about
literature, is a solitary woman. They are
going to spend a few days in the place where
they first fell in love.
With :
Romane Bohringer;
Marianne Basler, Hélène Vincent,
Nina Mazodier,
Noëmi Schmidt, Jean-François Stévenin,
Music by Renaud Garcia-Fons
Comments on the Net
1. This is a
really touching film that everyone can
relate to. The actors are very good and
there is a strong performance by the two
actresses who play Catherine and Angelique
as teenagers (Nina Mazodier and Noémie
Schmidt). They play perfectly well. And it
is precisely this accuracy in the film that
I liked. Everything is well balanced. The
film takes place in the Ain region, which
for me is also a region full of memories...
In short, this film touched me by its
sincerity, its accuracy and the fact that
one can easily identify with Angelique and
Catherine, teenagers.
2.This subtle adaptation of
Anne Percin's novel is particularly
successful. Romane Bohringer in the title
role is surrounded by a remarkable cast of
actors.

Paris, September
2011
Beautiful and unforgettable moments in
Paris (see my
special report) ! Together with Marion
Sarraut, Corinne Touzet, Fred Nony
and Yves Penay.* With a huge smile on
his face, Yves Penay grabbed my camera and took this
great photo of us all . After all, not everyone can
claim to have had their picture taken by a 'King of
France'! Unfortunately, the camera went on strike
and there was no photo with the charming
photographer - but the memory of that unique
evening, which we later enjoyed with a glass of wine
in the nearby bistro, remains.

* Yves Penay played King Louis XI in 'La
Florentine' and 'Cardinal de Rohan' in 'La Comtesse

box of 'Swiss chocolates' as she confessed to me
that she loved Swiss chocolates....

Souvenir
by
Gérard Chambre from his personal Photo album
Authentic
document put online with Marion Sarraut's
kind permission. Thank you again very much
dear
Dame Marion and Gérard Chambre (Gérard's
personal document !) for your contribution to
the 'Catherine de Montsalvy's website'. Gérard
Chambre, 'played one of the main roles
in
Marianne that of 'Jason Beaufort'. These
documents, are really precious for the fans of the
Benzoni/Sarraut family.
On my first visit to Juliette Benzoni, she told
us about the disastrous adaptation of her first
bestseller Catherine, il suffit d'un amour
for Cinema in 1968.
«
I cried like a fountain for almost two hours
»
she told us !
We can imagine that
Juliette Benzoni must have been a bit
wary when in 1982, Antenne 2 decided that it was
time for Juliette Benzoni's novels to be shown
on television!
From
old
articles
we
learn
that
the
understanding
between
Marion
Sarraut
and
Juliette
Benzoni
was
great
from
the
very
beginning.
While we cannot
always believe what is written in newspapers - I can now
confirm that it was more than the truth!
With
great
delight,
I
would
like
to
share
with
you
also
a
lettre
written
by
Juliette
Benzoni
in
1983
when
Marianne,
une
étoile
pour
Napoléon
was
presented
to
the
Press!
In
Gérard's
booklet,
there
was
another
pearl,
that
of
the
director
of
the
TV
series,
our
brilliant
Dame
Marion
Sarraut.
From
her
pen
we
learn
how
the
Marianne
project
for
TV started,
how
they
chose
the
magnificent
'Corinne
Touzet'
to
be
the
heroine
'Marianne
d'Asselnat'
as
well
as
all
the
other
fantastic
stars
of
this
unforgettable
and
beautiful
story.
Note:
I
have
translated
the
above
text
from
French
to
English,
