Rovère’s character “Arlette has struck a chord as everyone’s ideal disreputable aunt with a repertoire of outrageous stories that she just might tell if the burgundy is flowing. She is the sly, sharp-tongued doyenne of top Paris talent agency ASK, who knows where the bodies are buried, and just when to dig them up.” But her character is more than a little bit made of the 88-year-old actress: “The writers decanted a lot of Rovère into the character – her love of jazz and movies, her partiality to the odd joint, her romance with [Chet] Baker.” – The Observer (UK)
