Trivia

Younger sister of Serge Marquand and Christian Marquand.

Mother of Marie Trintignant, Pauline Trintignant and Vincent Trintignant.

Grandmother of Roman Kolinka, Paul Cluzet and Jules Benchetrit.

Daughter Pauline died at the age of 11 months in 1969.

Her actress/daughter Marie Trintignant, who was married at the time to director/actor Samuel Benchetrit, was fatally beaten in a Lithuanian hotel in 2003 by her jealous boyfriend, Bertrand Cantat, the lead rock singer and guitarist of the now-defunct group, Noir Désir. Apparently, he became outraged when she received a telephone call from her husband. She suffered a cerebral edema as a result of her skull fractures and died four days after the incident. In 2004, Cantat was sentenced to eight years in prison for manslaughter, which was initially appealed by Marie's family, who wished for a heavier sentence. They later canceled their appeal and the judgment became final.

Aunt of Yann Marquand.

She supports Nicolas Sarkozy's 2012 presidential campaign.
