Mireille Dopagne

In the episode Le crime de Noël of the TV series Les Petits Meurtres d'Agatha Christie, Mireille Dopagne is the wife of Geoffroy Dopagne. She helps her husband run the brasserie which actually belongs to Geoffroy's father Hubert Dopagne. After Hubert had been found murdered, Mireille was questioned by commissaire Laurence as a possible suspect. She told Laurence that she got on well with her father-in-law. He was actually quite pleased with the fact that she married Geoffroy, even though she was formerly a waitress at the brasserie and people were talking. She also told Laurence that Hubert was a nice person, although he had perhaps gone sick in the head and had started to give money away to strangers. However she had heard that in the past Hubert had forced himself on a waitress and that she had subsequently hanged herself.

Towards the end of the episode, Mireille was found dead on the floor of the brasserie. Although her husband Geoffroy was a potential suspect, Gaston Vernet subsequently confessed to the killing. He had been having an affair with Mireille, and he wanted her to go away with him but she refused. There was a struggle and she fell, hitting her head and dying. It was not clearly seen whether her fall was accidental or whether Gaston had pushed her down deliberately. Mireille is portrayed by Zoe Schellenberg.
