Lucie Dolène - Hollywood, no thanks ! Autobiography of a Disney princess

 

Lucie Dolène left us in 2020. For many French people, she remains the voice of Snow White or Mrs. Potts in the masterpieces of Walt Disney. Certainly, she is one of the most famous personalities of the French dubbing industry but in reality, she was much more than that. Young operetta singer quickly under contract at Philips during which she rubbed shoulders with Edith Piaf and the Nicholas Brothers, she became famous on stage and TV. She is also a woman of character, a witness of her time, who lived through the colonial era, WW2, and who had the luxury of refusing a contract in the most prestigious film studio in Hollywood. Lucie opens up frankly about her career, her loves, her life with composer Jean Constantin (The 400 Blows), and her fight against cancer.

Richly illustrated with a hundred unpublished photos from her personal collection, the book describes a career studded with stars of song, stage, television and film.

 

You can get this book in paper or digital version in French on Amazon (US, UK, etc.).
