drol 11,923 Posted November 6, 2019 The whole thing is being exaggerated. She has suffered a Transitory Ischemic Stroke, which is reversible and surely can not cause death if not associated with other illnesses. My mother has suffered four TIAs this year and they did not affect her health sensibly, though she suffers from Alzheimer's and colorectal cancer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomTomTelekom 3,727 Posted November 6, 2019 Really sad if her mother Renee Simonot, 108 years old, would outlive her daughter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinegar Tits 605 Posted November 6, 2019 The French news sites obviously have more information - basically she felt tired and a bit 'off', a bit 'not right'. If it is a Transitory Ischemic Attack then she should be all right and fully recover - they serve as a warning sign more than anything else. Despite her age, Deneuve continues to work non-stop and perhaps it's an indicator that she needs to slow down a little. She's always struck me as tough as old boots so this has come as a bit of a shock - hopefully she'll be up and gardening before the week's out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
