Everyone was perplexed - what connects them? Elizabeth Dominic Lucy Guinot, born on August 5, 1941 in Paris in a wealthy family from an ancient aristocratic family. And Gerard, a rude bully brought up by the street and police stations. He did not look for easy ways, and even when he entered the pedagogical school for Kosh, he chose the most difficult passage, with its pronunciation and stutter ... But perhaps this helped him.
She is a sophisticated aristocrat with great dignity, accustomed to artists and writers from Parisian bohemia, and he is expressive, rustic, incredibly charming, sprinkling Charisma with charisma. Fascinated by the beautiful Elizabeth, he did not even dare to hope that she would look in his direction, and she had inflamed love for him for the whole 26 years ...
She and Gerard
They met in the process of obtaining an acting profession, together learning theater art from a teacher Jean-Laurent Caucher. There between Betty and Gerard passion flashed.
The newlyweds, 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 guardian of the hearth. Elizabeth 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 - does not bother him. No, no, she loved. Gerard made use of her love and did not seem to be able to appreciate the love of her Elizabeth, and she put everything at her feet that she had.
He, in turn, did not miss a single skirt, dragging behind all the ladies who came in his way.
For twenty-six years they have been together. She, Elizabeth Depardieu, composed songs, cried, loved, and tolerated Gerard, his antics, drunkenness and passion for women (but not respect for them at all).
Tact and perseverance - this is what distinguishes a man of noble origin from ordinary commoners. Elizabeth Depardieu absorbed with her mother’s milk that patience and love are the most important virtues.
Elizabeth is eight years older than Gerard. She gave birth to his son Guillaume with a tragic fate, who starred in 2005 in “Cursed Kings” and daughter Julie, who appeared in the “Count of Monte Cristo” in 1998. Julie had a difficult relationship with her father, she always sharply criticized his lifestyle.
Barbara and others
God alone knows what was going on in Elizabeth’s soul. "Barbara and Gerard ... What holds them together? I don’t understand ...!"
So thought actress Elizabeth Depardieu, a talented singer and Knight of the Legion of Honor, in tears and alone, flicking a blanket over a cold bed.
He and Barbara sang together in a musical, he wanted to dissolve in a strange hermit, drown in her black eyes, break her graceful white hands from passion, taste the sweetness of her delicate neck.
Who knows where the destructive craving for another woman comes from? Ah, Gerard ... "But she is weak to destroy our marriage!" - so confident Elizabeth Depardieu. And Gerard, often recalling the pungent smell of her perfume, understood that Barbara was for five minutes.
While Gerard "sokh" for this damsel, in public, Elizabeth Depardieu spoke of her husband as a faithful and honest man, extolling and admiring him.
But every night she thought that just about - and could not continue any longer, in the morning, when he crawled in perfume and lipstick, she imagined how to put him out to their house in Bougival. And the next morning nothing happened.
She did not get divorced then, explaining that she did not want to injure students who were so poor and spending time with obscure companies of Guillaume and Julie. Since then, the couple have lived another 10 years.
Catherine Deneuve and Isabelle Adjani, as well as Karol Bouquet - Elizabeth knew about them in her husband's life. She heard rumors about the romance Gerard and Whoopi Goldberg, met on the same set.
Break
In 1990, Elizabeth found a letter in her trouser pocket. Roxanne asked for a toy - a plush deer. Fashion model daughter Karin Silla. Gerard recognized the child.
So life does not end, but sobbed strangled and burned tears. Cried Betty did not see the point in their future life. There was nothing to save - there was no marriage. She alone could not pull. Gerard begged and swore, but it was not worth a penny.
Already since 1992, they no longer lived together. Elizabeth Depardieu filed for divorce, the marriage was dissolved on November 2 in 1996.
