2024 - Pierre Desproges: who are Perrine and Marie, his two daughters?

This Saturday, February 12, France 2 is broadcasting the program Les 30 favorite comic duos of the French. A program where we should logically find Pierre Desproges. Died in 1988, the comedian left behind a wife and two daughters, who did not fail to perpetuate his legacy.

On April 18, 1988, France lost a great name in humor. Renowned for his dark humor and his sense of the absurd, Pierre Desproges died of lung cancer. A disappearance that left a family in mourning.

Pierre Desproges had been married since 1969 to Hélène Mourain. A woman with whom the comedian was madly in love and who offered him two daughters: Marie, born in 1975, and Perrine, born in 1977. Two children whom he did not hesitate to film to fix the images of their childhood. If Marie remained very discreet, Perrine decided to pay homage to her father by publishing in 2017 a biography, Desproges by Desproges, published by Courroux, which she co-founded. A book in which we found many unpublished documents such as photographs, texts and manuscripts of the humorist.

Pierre Desproges and his wife, “extremely loving, extremely solid” parents

When their father died, Marie was only 12 years old while Perrine was 10. Although their parents tolerated poor grades in mathematics, they were extremely careful that they mastered grammar. Perrine, however, confides that she has “do the minimum (at school) so as not to be bothered”, as she had told Liberation. The young woman added that her parents were “extremely loving, extremely strong”.
