Although the latter has never “replaced” her mother, she knew how to be both “solid” and “distant” for the well-being of young Anny.
Concerned about the education she could give him, her aunt has always been “on the lookout” of his tastes and his gifts, as Sara and Gaël Giraudeau’s mother revealed during this very intimate interview. “I had everything I wanted whenever I wanted to read or paint”.

My aunt had signed me up, seeing that I was very good and I was able to enter a school which had a university level with the BEPC level, roughly. I took the entrance exam when I was 14 and a half “, reminded the actress to Patrick Cohen on the set of the show 6 at home, in February 2021. A pronounced taste for culture which is undoubtedly at the origin of the artistic vocation Anny Duperey.
Anny Duperey: a mother with a strong temperament
His past is certainly at the origin of his personality. When she became a mother in turn, the one who lost hers too early, did not know how to deal with her two children. “I was waiting to see if it screams and then it screams, I was like ‘think about it, is it really hurting?’ And when I saw the other mothers who, viscerally, threw themselves at their kids, I told myself that I was still missing a little something“, confided Anny Duperey to Anne Roumanoff on the airwaves ofEurope 1 in June.
Growing up, these two children very quickly noticed their mother’s main flaw. “I have a bit of a frank side, where my kids say to me: ‘oh maybe you could buckle up mom, every now and then’, she added during the same interview. A character trait that does not prevent Anny Duperey to be adored by her children and grandchildren.
