The same year, she wrote the introduction to the French edition of The Eurovision Song Contest – The Official History by John Kennedy O'Connor. Myriam was married to music producer Michel Elmosnino from the late 1970s until his death at age 67 on 20 December 2013.

La TV des 70's : Quand Giscard était président
In May 1974, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing became President of the Republic and wanted to bring about a new era of modernity. One of his first decisions was to break up the ORTF with the creation of three new television channels: TF1, Antenne 2 and FR3. Three new public channels but autonomous and competing. It is a race for the audience which is engaged then, and from now on the channels will make the war! This competition will give birth to a real golden age for television programs, with variety shows in the forefront. The stars of the song are going to invade the living rooms of the French for their biggest pleasure. This unedited documentary tells the story of the metamorphosis of this television of the early 1970s, between freedom of tone, scandals, political intrigues and programs that have become mythical.
King Size
This sexy and very entertaining musical comedy shows the ups and downs of engaging in a 'ménage à trois'. When Vincent and Nicholas, a very much integrated and respected long-time couple, suddenly decide to live together with young Gabriel, they must confront the moral disapproval of their gay friends, a jealous sister, and practicalities like how to find a bed that's big enough. Filmed against a stunning Paris as backdrop, this all-out song and dance extravaganza almost explodes on-screen in a very French 'Joie de vivre'.
