While TF1 will devote a big tribute evening to her, Dorothée multiplies her confidences and does not avoid any subject. Starting with the day she was kicked out.
Dorothée was at the helm of the favorite shows of the 1980s and 1990s generations: Recreation A2 then the mythical Dorothée Club. An era which suddenly ended in 1997 when TF1 decided to call it quits and fired the star from the air…. But the presenter, now 71 years old, whose real name is Frédérique Hoschedé, did she resentment? She responds without tongue in cheek.
Dorothée bitter about her ouster?
On January 24, TF1 will dedicate an entire program to him entitled Thank you Dorothée, in prime time, and hosted by the channel’s maestro, Nikos Aliagas. The singer and host should notably perform her very first unreleased title in 15 years, I have in my memories. It is also an opportunity for the channel to rebroadcast archive images, and to offer surprises to match the success of the channel that has sold no less than 20 million albums around the world.
The opportunity also for Dorothée to clarify certain things… Starting with the brutal and sudden stopping of the Dorothée Club in August 1997. “Once the shock has passed, we move forward. Life continued, and I remained in contact with the public”she declared in an interview in TV 7 days. “I have received so many messages of support, drawings, poems! I always receive them, in fact, of all kinds: when some tell me that they have named their baby Dorothée, others confide about their lives, which moves me a lot”, she added.
What happens to Dorothy?
Asked about the post-career following the tidal wave Dorothée Club – which earned him to fill Bercy and to be exported as far as China -, the interpreter of Hello, hello, Mr. Computer confides: “I have never closed any door and I always analyze the projects that are offered to me (However, she is not up for participating in Star Academy, Mask Singer or even DALS, she confided, editor’s note). So far, few things have appealed to me, but I don’t despair. Maybe one day there will be a grandmother role for me in the cinema or in a series?
Dorothée, who lives between Paris and her house in a small village in Normandy, according to previous revelations from producer Jean-Luc Azoulay, is more or less retired. In 2018, she made a cameo in the movie Nicky Larson and the Scent of Cupid by Philippe Lacheau. And, in 2023, Dorothée lent her voice to the character Airazor for the film Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.
The host, always very discreet about her private life since we do not know of her husband or publicly displayed romantic relationship, was also questioned by 7 Days TV about the possibility of resuming her singing career. “As for the scene, we will see… Everything in its time”, she replied soberly.
