Known for playing in numerous soap operas from the 1960s to the 1990s, Quebec actress Gisèle Dufour died on Friday at the age of 91 from type B non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
She breathed her last at the St-Raphaël palliative care home in Montreal, according to her son Michel Dufour, who postponed his life to accompany his mother in his last three months.
During her career, Gisèle Dufour has played in several soap operas. In the early 1960s, he was Gilberte Doyon Daughter of Evewith Monique Lepage and Andrée Lachapelle, on Radio-Canada television.
Still on the airwaves of Radio-Canada in the 1960s, he was part of the cast of Cove Streetthen street of gables at Heaven on earthwhich ended in 1972. Gisèle Dufour played the character of Gaétane Damphousse.

Gisèle Dufour also found herself in the theater, playing The Threepenny Opera and in 8 women in the 1960s, but also in the cinema. In the late 1980s, he starred in film scale model griefby Robert Morin.
She will have a diverse career, underlined by Michel Dufour, who specified that she led this course while she was a single mother. It is a self -made.
Gisèle Dufour often defines bourgeois, sophisticated and isnobby women, as in Heaven on earth o sa The Maya and the Chaffinchesin which he played Marie-Hélène Pinson, the wife of a lawyer.
So he wanted to change the register by rubbing shoulders with a different character. He loves challenges, like when he performed in the play The Horrible Parentin Toronto, because it was a difficult duty [celui d’une femme malade]or in an episode about menopause’s Love with capital A.
