When we think of Prince Charming, we rarely imagine a married man with several children. However, it was in the arms of a man already committed to another that Marthe Villalonga spent nearly fifty years. Mistress of her companion, this situation had only advantages for the actress. Interviewed in seven to eight by journalist Audrey Crespo-Mara for an interview broadcast on TF1 on February 28, 2021, the actress had revealed the unmentionable secrets of this “great love“remained secret for a lifetime.
“I’m a bit special huh!” she had launched from the outset, well aware that this situation may shock some people. Moreover, her companion never took her as a traitor and told her as soon as they met that he was already married. A status that Marthe Villavonga accepted as she was madly in love with her man.As for her companion’s wife, it’s simple, she didn’t want to know anything at all.
“I don’t want to know. What’s the point? If it’s to hurt other people, it’s not worth it“, explained the actress, who turns 90 on March 20, 2023. “We accept or we do not accept (…) Otherwise we would not have stayed so long. If we wanted to go away for a month together, we mightn’t do it. I’m not saying that sometimes we wanted to be together, but we accepted. We felt good. Why break?“, she had developed.
I regret nothing
Only regret if there were to be one, not having had children with her darling. One thing that, she had conceded, did”a little bit” suffer. “It didn’t happen. I did nothing to not have it and he was the same (…). If I had had one, I would have kept it, I love children. But I didn’t stay on that thing. I regret nothing“, she had told with a lot of philosophy. This love story ended in 2018 with the death of her mysterious companion, whose identity she of course never revealed.
Often embodying the role of mothers on the big screen, Marthe Villalonga has notably distinguished herself in films An elephant cheats a lot et We’ll all go to heaven (1976 et 1977), How beautiful you are! et Do not tell anyone (2006) but also at the theater in the play How to become a Jewish mother in ten lessons (1983). A way to realize the dream that real life did not grant him.
