５月１日、レジーヌ・ジルベルベール*2が死去した。享年92歳。彼女は歌手や女優でもあったが、何よりも交際的なナイトクラブ・チェーンのオーナーとしてよく知られている。DJがターンテーブルでレコードをプレイする所謂ディスコというスタイルを考案したとされる。また、世界的なセレブたちとの交友関係や愛人関係もよく知られている。

Her clientele was eclectic but almost exclusively wealthy, powerful and well connected, among them Andy Warhol, Brigitte Bardot, the Rothschilds, the Kennedys, Liza Minnelli, Truman Capote, Marlene Dietrich, Henry Miller, Richard Nixon, the future president Georges Pompidou, the mobster John Gotti and Salvador Dalí.She dyed her hair flame red and attracted diverse lovers: the actors Robert Mitchum, Warren Beatty, Gene Kelly, Steve McQueen and Omar Sharif, and singer Jacques Brel, as well as sporting stars and alpinists Jean-Claude Killy and Maurice Herzog, the Spanish matador El Cordobés and the Swedish tennis champion Björn Borg.
“I do love champions,” she told French television.
She married Roger Choukroun, a computer engineer, in 1969 and divorced him in 2004, but despite her marriages and many lovers, Régine would always describe Claude Schonberg as her “first and only true love”. Her son, Lionel, died in 2006. She is survived by a granddaughter, Daphné.
