While I had been attending the launching  of the first "fanclub" of Laurent le Doyen in Paris, 9.5.2010 - Frédérique and I went to see the brand new play of Corinne Touzet PERSONNE n'est PARFAIT it was an unforgettable afternoon - a marvelous play with fantastic actors. Lot's of laughter and an audience never wanting to end with applauding at the end! I would like to thank beautiful Corinne Touzet, for signing my selfmade card and for taking the time to pose for a photo with me. The "waiting-line" was incrediable long, for fans to get their dedication, even more so do I appreciate this special moment with the star of "Marianne" and of "Catherine" (Princess Zobeïda).
                      thank you very much dear Corinne

I am very happy to announce that my very good friend Frédérique
 and I, were able to spend another unforgettable day at Saint-Mandé. My favourite author, whom I have the permission to call by her first name - has done me the expectional honor to present me the very first book cover of "Catherine"! At the same time, writing a new dedication in a 1968 edition of Catherine - which is at the same time her preferred book cover of "Catherine de Montsalvy" Just like in October last year, I have written again a full account of  this amazing meeting with the one and only Juliette Benzoni.

                        a very happy webmistress

I want to thank Pierre Deny, our Count of Dunois, for giving us the joy and knowledge that nothing is impossible, if we stay true to our dreams.

                      Again, merci beaucoup Pierre

Not enough to have had the pleasure to interview one of the leading actors of the TV-serie "Catherine, Il suffit d'un amour in September - only weeks later, a very friendly Pierre DENY, who played Count of Dunois in the serie - honored us with answering "Mistral's 12 question's.
Like our other interviews, it was fantastic to learn about the shooting way back in 1986. But I am sure everyone agrees, Pierre DENY's recounting, how they  had "swindled" to "Marion Sarraut, the director, of their ability to be able to ride a horse, was hilarious ;-)

                 Thank you very much Pierre DENY

I admit, when I created the "Treasure box site" after we were so lucky to bid for Claudine Ancelot's Autograph on 12 November 2008 - I never imagined for one moment, that I would one day be able to show some real-time Autograph's sent to us, by our beloved stars of Catherine, Il suffit d'un amour! Also to have the opportunity to bring some exclusive interviews. NO... not even I, a very positive thinking person thought this possible! But life is full of surprises !! Now let us all take pleasure in our newest accomplishment! THE interview with the one and only Pierre-Marie Escourrou alias Arnaud de Montsalvy :-) I like to say merci  beaucoup again to him, for his kindness and the humor he showed towards me and on top of all this - to send the interview exactly on 10.09.2009, we celebrated our first anniversary.
Hmm... I begin to think I actually do have a fairy godmother... I wonder what she will offer me in the future?

                     Thank you very much Pierre-Marie

                                   (Author of Catherine)

While looking for missing book covers, LaLuna spotted on Ebay a rare occasion to bid for a autograph of our Juliette Benzoni. Full of suspense we waited for the day X on March 30th! LaLuna
the specialist for bidding, was able to get hold of the photograph - not knowing what kind of a goodie she had catched! When I received the letter from France, with the signature of JulietteBenzoni - I saw to my astonishment that, not only did we have this famous photo which we see so often on the books or online - no - with the photo came an old yellowish newspaper clip! Great was my delight to find out that we had in our hand a rare piece of document. As some of us remember - way back in the sixties - newspapers used to print popular books as "roman-feuilleton" - that is - everyday you read a short piece of a story - which was continued day after day. If my French is not deserting me, this person who sold the autograph, had read the notice on February 16, 1967

Vous pouvez recevoir gratuittement une photographie dédicacée de Juliette Benzoni en écrivant aux Editions de Trévise,34 rue de Trévise, Paris

which said that you could get a free autograph from Juliette Benzoni! So I put two and two together and figured that the owner of the photo - must have gone that afternoon way back in 1967 - when the fourth book of the Catherine-series "Catherine des Grands Chemins" had been first published - to that book shop in Paris and been lucky to get her/his autograph, signed by the famous writer Juliette Benzoni in person!!! Apart from having this remarkable photo we shall guard jealously (dreaming of course, that one day we shall also be so lucky to see our name on a dedicated photo or book from Juliette Benzoni :-) it is awesome to see how time changed since 1967. Once upon a time, we bought patiently our newspaper or magazine to read a book-feuilleton - which always ended with the sentence " to be continued"...my favorite motto :-)

                                   Claudine Ancelot
                              (Catherine de Montsalvy)

Today we are delighted to share a special tidbit with you! On November 12, 2008 we successfully bid on Ebay on a autograph.
It is no other than a very young Claudine Ancelot. Who we know so very well as "Catherine de Montsalvy".

She dedicated this photo to a certain Antoine. Unfortunately, we don't  know anything about it...Prehaps it was given to the fan during the time she starred in our wonderful series "Il suffit d'un amour".

Now, have a closer look at the photo itself. Isn't this a beautiful picture of her? And who knows - maybe one day -  with a little luck we'll be able to present you with our very own dedication from Claudine Ancelot.
