His disappearance made the greatest number react… Sunday May 1, 2022, Regine died at the age of 92, as reported by her granddaughter to theAFP. In the columns of Release, Frédéric Mitterrand revealed that the star had saved him many times. « When I was 20, I was often turned away from Castel because I didn’t come with pretty enough girls. So, I went to New Jimmy’s with friends, because Régine liked young people, and there, I came home“, he confided before adding: “She always greeted me with a big smile, seemed happy to see me again, spoke to me as if we had always known each other. And above all, she was deeply kind, didn’t push for consumption, knowing that I didn’t have a lot of money.«
During this interview, the former Minister of Culture said: « What I liked at New Jimmy’s was the music and the festive atmosphere, like at a popular ball. There were 80% of rich people who came in Rolls or Porsches, 10% of international celebrities and 10% of young people from upscale neighborhoods.“After revealing that he did three TV shows with her, François Mitterrand’s nephew added that he last saw Régine a year ago.”She had no more money and was counting on me to help her deliver the 25th version of her memoirs. There was a Sunset Boulevard side, but she did not end up in poverty. She continued to have her little lifestyle, and to dine at Stresa, thanks to the generosity of friends with whom she had been nice in the past, and who were happy to be able to help her in return.“, he let go.
The confidences of Frédéric Mitterrand on his homosexuality
If the former Minister of Culture is now openly homosexual, he went to New Jimmy’s accompanied by young women. In an interview given to Stubborn in 2012, it was with emotion that he confided: « I became homosexual before 1968, in a period when everything was forbidden (…) When my father, in the car in 1966, said to me: ‘In my opinion, I think you prefer boys and don’t worry no, that’s not a problem. It won’t change our relationship,’ I denied.«
