Everyone was perplexed - what connects them? Elisabeth Dominique Lucy Guinho was born on August 5, 1941 in Paris to a we althy family from an ancient aristocratic family. And Gerard, a rude bully raised by the street and police stations. He did not look for easy ways, and even when entering Kosh's teacher training school, he chose the most difficult passage, with its pronunciation and stuttering … But perhaps this helped him.

She is a sophisticated aristocrat with great dignity, accustomed to artists and writers from the Parisian bohemia, and he is an expressive, rustic, incredibly charming, splashing with charisma Gerard. Fascinated by the beautiful Elizabeth, he did not even dare to hope that she would look in his direction, and she burned with love for him for 26 years…

She and Gerard

They met in the process of obtaining an acting profession, studying theatrical art together with teacher Jean-Laurent Cochet. There, passion broke out between Betty and Gerard.

The newlyweds, who married in 1970, continued to study and work side by side. Gerard's career rushed up, his wife became his best friend, secretary, adviser and muse, as well as the keeper of the hearth. Elisabeth Depardieu, as a wise wife, provided her husband with a reliable rear.

Marriage is a good thing..?

In marriage, it often happens like this - one person loves, the second one does not interfere with him. No, no, she loved it. Gerard enjoyed her love and, it seems, failed to appreciate the love of his Elizabeth, and she laid everything she had at his feet.

He, in turn, did not miss a single skirt, dragging after all the ladies that came across his path.

Twenty-six years they were together. She, Elisabeth Depardieu, wrote songs, cried, loved, and endured Gerard, his antics, drunkenness and passion for women (but no respect for them at all).

Tact and restraint - that's what distinguishes a person of noble birth from ordinary commoners. Elisabeth Depardieu learned from her mother's milk that patience and love are the most important virtues.

Elizabeth is eight years older than Gerard. She bore him a son, Guillaume, with a tragic fate, who starred in 2005 in The Damned Kings, and a daughter, Julie, who appeared in The Count of Monte Cristo in 1998. Julie had a difficult relationship with her father, she was always sharply critical of his lifestyle.

Barbara and others

God only knows what went on in Elizabeth's soul. "Barbara and Gerard … What are theirholding together? I don't understand…!"

Thus thought actress Elisabeth Depardieu, a talented singer and Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, in tears and alone, fiddling with the blanket of a cold bed.

He and Barbara sang together in a musical, he wanted to melt into a strange recluse, drown in her black eyes, break her graceful white hands with passion, taste the sweetness of her tender neck.

Who knows where the destructive craving for another woman comes from? Ah, Gerard … "But she is weak to destroy our marriage!" - Elizabeth Depardieu is so sure of herself. And Gerard, often remembering the pungent smell of her perfume, understood that Barbara was for five minutes.

While Gerard "dreamed" for this girl, in public Elizabeth Depardieu spoke of her husband as a devoted and honest person, praising and admiring him.

But every night she thought that she was about to - and could no longer continue, in the morning when he crawled in perfume and lipstick, she imagined how she would put him out of their house in Bougival. And the next morning nothing happened.

She did not divorce then, explaining that she did not want to injure students who were so bad and spending time with the incomprehensible companies of Guillaume and Julie. Since then, the couple lived another 10 years.

Catherine Deneuve and Isabelle Adjani, as well as Carole Bouquet - Elizabeth knew about them in her husband's life. She heard rumors about Gerard and Whoopi Goldberg having an affair on the same set.

Gap

In 1990, Elizabeth found a letter in Gerard's trouser pocket. Roxanne asked for a toy - a plush deer. Daughter of fashion model Karin Silla. Gerard recognized the child.

So life does not end, but sobs choked and tears burned. A tearful Betty saw no point in their future lives. There was nothing to save - there was no longer a marriage. She couldn't pull it alone. Gerard begged and swore, but it didn't cost a penny.

Already since 1992, they no longer lived together. Elisabeth Depardieu filed for divorce, the marriage was annulled on November 2, 1996.

Elisabeth Depardieu's films are "Tartuffe" in 1984, two more films in the eighties - "Manon from the source" and "Jean de Florette", where she starred with the brilliant Yves Montand. "Tomboy" in 1995, "This is my body" in 2001. Elisabeth Depardieu is also known as a screenwriter.
