Historic voice of RTL, host, columnist, singer, Sophie Garel has died at the age of 84. The Frenchwoman died this Thursday morning, her family announced to RTL.
Arriving at the station at the end of the 1960s, Sophie Garel was Fabrice’s partner for a long time, with several shows including “Les jeux de Fabrice avec Sophie”.
She also had a successful career as a columnist, in “We tried everything”, on France 2, or “On n’a pas tout dit”, with Laurent Ruquier. She was again and above all an essential voice of “Grosses Têtes”, an RTL show in which she made her return in 2021, still with Ruquier and Fabrice.
A lesser known episode of her rich career, Sophie Garel even represented Luxembourg at Eurovision in 1968. She was the companion of Jean Yanne, with whom she had a son, Thomas.
