Sophie Duez from cinema to theater and politics

Sophie Duez, from Nice, made her mark in the media at the very beginning of the 1980s. Going to Paris to study at La Sorbonne in the hope of becoming a journalist, she made her debut in modeling, then made a series of appearances in music videos. We think of Fed up with this girlsigned Patrick Bruel. She then arrived through her great friend in the world of cinema with Walk in the shadein 1984. In front of Michel Blanc’s camera, Sophie Duez stood out and made a name for herself, opposite Gérard Lanvin. After numerous experiences on the big screen, the little one reaches out to her and she becomes a pillar of the series Platform No. 1. A lover of the stage, we then found her in the theater in the 2000s, notably within the permanent troupe of the Nice theater, at home! A city which will shelter the artist’s political interlude. Elected municipal councilor under the banner of the Socialist Party in 2008, she then resigned to join the office of the mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, as project manager for culture. It was only in 2014 that cinema would regain the upper hand. After Barbecuewe meet her in Half-sistersthen back on television. Clear-eyed revenge, Murders in the Jura, Astrid and Raphaëlle, Camping Paradis, Crime in… Many TV films, collections and other popular series count on its presence.

Sophie Duez: “electoral politics does not interest me”

The ex-wife of Manu Katché – they were together between 1980 and 1990 and had two children together – has since continued on the path of gambling, as can be noted in Erica and on the stages of France. Politics, a parenthesis over? In the columns of TV Magazine in 2019, Sophie Duez mentioned having “life project is broader”far from this world: “I have done a lot of stage work since 2002, I was a member of the Théâtre national de Nice. I did some directing. I launched into public action. I have never been a member, but I was elected for two years in Nice, then I resigned in 2010 because electoral politics did not interest me. Still in Nice, I worked on the architectural project for the reconversion of an industrial wasteland. in a cultural venue and I was responsible for its programming. In 2017, I took a sabbatical, I spent a lot of time in Canada with my daughter and, last year, I played in the theater. London.”
