At 82, Dominique Lavanant has completely retired from film sets and other media events. His former accomplice Bruno Moynot recently gave his news, and it seems that his life has changed a lot!
In October 2024, during the funeral of Michel Blanc at the Saint-Eustache church in Paris, Dominique Lavanant was conspicuous by his absence. However, she was very close to the famous Jean-Claude Dusse. But what happens to the actress, who now lives far from the media?
Dominique Lavanant “lives her life” far from Paris: where has she put her bags?
Yet dubbed by the French public, the actress, now 82 years old, decided to gradually fade from the public sphere, and from cinema, many years ago. And the much-publicized funeral of Michel Blanc was not enough to make her reappear in public.
Invited to Jordan de Luxe last January, Bruno Moynot gave news of his former friend. Josiane Balasko’s ex-companion revealed that Dominique Lavanant now lived far from Paris, despite the advantages that fame could grant him. The former member of Splendid, originally from Morlaix, returned to her native Brittany.
“She doesn’t really want to (respond to the media, editor’s note), she lives her life. She is often in Brittany”he blurted. Besides, if she was “very close” according to him of the famous troupe, it is no longer so at all today. Before adding: “If I call her we’ll talk, but she’s so reclusive…”. And it’s up to him to conclude: “There are people who, when they reach a certain age, say to themselves: ‘No, I don’t want to anymore’. I completely respect that”.

The star of Tanned and the saga SisterThérèse.com spoke publicly for the last time in October 2025 to deny his death which was widely announced on social networks. “Here, Dominique Lavanant calling you from the Morlaix cemetery, where I asked to be buried with my cell phone”the main person concerned had even quipped in front of a journalist from the Telegram who had tried to contact her after the rumors surfaced.
“Please know that I am doing very well.”had chanted Dominique Lavanant. Before deploring: “It’s all so grotesque and it’s all lies.”. She took the opportunity to assure that she would not return to the forefront: “Touring with people who only think about sex and money, I can’t”. This has the merit of being clear!
