Years later, Jacques Dutronic, who has become close to Romy, becomes her partner and lover love is the importantHe says that Trintignant is the one who will forever remain the great love of his life.

Jean-Louis has been going through amazing decades, making the rounds with the most beautiful women in the world and making some of them fall in love. Not all of them, but many of them, it is said, turned around because of her reserve, charisma, modesty, culture and love of poetry. Carries in his arms Bill Mill, Jacqueline Bisset, Michel Mercier, Nomoise Bernadette Lafont on several occasions, Catherine Deneuve, Carol Becker, Françoise Fabian, Lea Massari, Gina Lollobrigida, Marie-José Natt, Claudine Auger, Anouk Emmy, Dominique Sanda, Marilyn Joubert, Marie-Christine for Sandrel, Steféli (for Sandrel, Steven compliant, His most impressive movie with my night in mod where he plays a Protestant engineer for sure).

Marianne participated in and won many competitions including the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Paris-Dakar and women’s rallies.

With Jean-Louis, they competed together in the Monte Carlo Rally. Having become, over time, a bit of a human hater and eager to isolate himself from a part of the world, he knows the horror of the loss of his daughter Mary, in 2003, who died under the blows of her comrade who beat her to death.

He did not recover from this ordeal, and touched the depths of despair, so he gradually abandoned the cinema and then the theater, and no longer wanted, far from the crowds, to go up on the stage except to recite poems there as he used to. And the passion of doing it with Mary.

Nothing else interests him, this activity seems to take him away from his pain to bring it back to him better. Unhappy for years, Jean-Louis Trintignant was, as reticent as he was stormy, saying that he had indeed died with his beloved daughter, for he added that Marie was of course a very fine actress but also and above all, the true woman in his life.
