Figure of the comedies of the 1970s-1980s, the actress Catherine Lachens died on Wednesday September 27, at the age of 78, her entourage announced to Agence France-Presse. She had been fighting cancer “for several months, in a Parisian hospital,” said this source.
An actress with a prolific career, Catherine Lachens filmed for Georges Lautner, Yves Boisset and Jacques Deray in the 1970s and 1980s. She stands out for her cheekiness.
She was seen in particular in Flic ou rogue, I’m shy but I look after myself and also had a career in the theater, alternating classics and contemporary plays.
Rarer on screen from the 1990s onwards, she delighted the public in Gazon maudit, then Les Bidochon. More recently, she made an appearance in the series Scènes de households.
