I keep in my heart so many beautiful memories“, wrote Evelyne Dhéliat on X (formerly Twitter, editor's note).
“She was a very kind woman, we never argued. I remember her little, thin voice saying to me: 'Évelyne, how are you ?'. We spent moments of happiness and work together. We were very complementary and very different from each other”, the weather presenter also added about Catherine Laborde. During an interview posted on the TF1 website.
“She was more of an artist than me. Who had her feet more on the ground. She was also very learned, passionate about theater and writing. She wrote many books. Catherine Laborde, she was passionate. Everything she did, she did with passion, even the weather. Catherine always took life head on. Even when faced with illness, she fought. She was truly a fighter. It's funny, because behind this seemingly fragile physique was a woman with a very strong temperament,” also specified Evelyne Dhéliat.
Evelyne Dhéliat: “Catherine has always remained herself, even when faced with illness”
“She would have liked to be an actress, but she was aware that it was complicated to make one stable job. I think that her great happiness was to have a regular job that was certainly not theater, but still exposed her to an audience. She sometimes went on stage, it was a great pleasure for her”, also emphasized Catherine Laborde's former colleague.
“We have always been in touch, even if we communicated by SMS recently because her illness was getting worse. But otherwise, as soon as she was in Paris, we saw each other. It was more complicated afterward… Catherine Laborde has always remained herself, even when faced with illness. I have never heard her complaining, that's what was great. She was a very great lady”, Evelyne Dhéliat finally concluded.
