Essayist, novelist and radio producer Laure Adler is invited on France Inter to talk about her new book "La Voyageuse de nuit". Interviewed, she talks about old age and the high regard for her in some countries other than the West: "Yes, in other civilizations than ours, old age is a supplement, old age is a possibility of knowledge transmission, old age is a possibility of caring for others...".
Interviewed, the writer Benoîte Groult expresses her point of view on the place of the elderly in society, the depressive baths used to describe the elderly women.
Interviewed, the actress Marthe Villalonga gives her point of view on old age: "Old does not mean anything...it is in the head, I at 75 I do not feel old...", then she adds "It’s beautiful old, we have wrinkles, we have experience...".
Bernard Pivot talks with Françoise Giroud about her book "We can’t be happy all the time" which opens on a few pages devoted to old age. If dying does not frighten him, the author considers that aging is scandalous due to physical degradation. But she says she wants to continue fighting, especially through writing, and refuses to resign herself.
Simone Signoret confides in the paradox of her physical appearance: "if I had been more careful of myself...I would have stayed younger for a longer period of time, but I would have missed some great things professionally".
Marina Foïs est invitée pour parler de son rôle dans "Le bal des actrices", réalisé par Maïwen, projet qu'elle a accepté sans même le lire.
Elle parle du regard qu'elle porte sur elle, en particulier du fait qu'elle se trouve moche et grosse, et qu'elle a peur de vieillir comme les autres femmes.
