[edit] remembering valerie

very sad to learn that valerie died in a car crash in 1989. i too thought she was a charming and talented actress. i also deeply respect her decision to leave hollywood in favor of starting a family--particularly when she gave it all up almost right after a hit movie ("summer lovers") it seems very difficult for french actors/actresses to break into the american market, but she pulled it off. anyone who saw "summer lovers" seems to remember her. like the previous posting, i too would like to know if she ever achieved her goal of marriage and a family. anyone with any information to post, please do!

[edit] Unverifiable information about Valerie Quennessen

I removed an addition made by an anon ip to the main article. I post it here because it is interesting nonetheless;

"However there is debate about if her death is factual or not. There are fans of hers that claim to have seen her around Paris after her supposed death. (Source Summer lover's fan group. http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/summerlovers )Furthmore there was commentary by Peter Gallagher saying, "Valérie disappeared once before." (source: http://petergallagher.com in 2000)"

The question remains is whether there is an obituary that could be found. Also, what about her children? Perhaps a French Wikipedian could help us out here? -Nodekeeper 10:16, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Followup on this. Something that I can not put in the article because of WP:NOR is that there is indeed considerable doubt surrounding her death. It seems that the information about her death comes from a FOAF in the first place. Additionally, one forum postere actually searched all the records (and papers) for car accident deaths in France and was unable to find any mention of her. Another poster reported to seeing her name on a playbill a year earlier. However, this may be the same as the Elvis sightings in the late 70's. Maybe she got tired with people hounding her about the movie Summer Lovers. Anyway, posted so that others can pursue research in this area. -Nodekeeper 08:18, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More information

She had a son with Francois Manceaux: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2227535/bio (maybe two, "se mismo año Quennessen rodaría Summer Lovers en Grecia con Peter Gallagher y Daryl Hannah, tras lo que abandonaría el cine y se iría a vivir con François Manceaux, miembro del equipo de Summer Lovers. Tuvieron dos hijos pero lamentablemente Quennessen murió en un accidente de coche en 1989. Sus hijos y su novio sobrevivieron." from: http://octopusmagnificens.blogspot.com/2006/04/la-mejor-pelcula-de-arnold-se-rod-en.html ) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.154.28.126 (talk) 20:51, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Note: movie director Antoine Manceaux is one of Valerie's children. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.57.165.245 (talk) 23:43, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed copyright information for Valérie Quennessen images

This message is to advise that I have tagged the following images with Wrong-license and listed them at WP:CP for 2007 December 17:

  • Valérie Quennessen as Princess Yasimina in CONAN THE BARBARIAN.jpg
  • Valérie Quennessen as Princess Yasimina in CONAN THE BARBARIAN2.jpg
  • Valérie Quennessen as Princess Yasimina in CONAN THE BARBARIAN3.jpg
  • Valérie Quennessen as Princess Yasimina in CONAN THE BARBARIAN4.jpg

I have done this as these images are tagged with PD-Self, however there is no substantiating information either on the image description pages or through a named OTRS ticket to corroborate this. I've left a message for the uploader, but if anyone else can help out or have any comments, please feel free to jump in. — digitaleon • talk @ 08:10, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
