Paulette Coquatrix (born Clara Paulette Possicelsky, 26 April 1916 – 28 May 2018) was a French costume designer.

Biography

At the beginning of the 1950s, she was a costume designer for the Comédie-Caumartin shows, directed by Bruno Coquatrix from 1952.[1]

When he died in 1979, she inherited Olympia Hall in equal shares with her daughter Patricia. She entrusted the general direction to her nephew Jean-Michel Boris, who joined the company in 1954.[citation needed]

Under her ownership, the Olympia Hall was destructed and rebuilt identically a few meters away from its original location in 1997.[2][3] After Jean-Michel Boris was laid off from the Olympia, tensions arose between Paulette and her daughter Patricia regarding the business management of the music hall.[4] Coquatrix sold the auditorium to the Vivendi group in August 2001.[5]

Paulette Coquatrix died on 28 May 2018 at the age of 102.[6]
