Jeanne Weiss

In Je ne suis pas coupable, the France Télévisions adaptation of Sad Cypress for the TV series Les Petits Meurtres d'Agatha Christie, Jeanne Weiss a friend of the elderly and wealthy mill owner Élisabeth Laroche-Viseul and a Elisabeth's house guest at the time of the key events in the story. Jeanne plays a non-canonical role in the plot and has no parallel in the original novel.

Jeanne Weiss is a suffragette campaigning for the right of French women to vote. She considers Elisabeth to be her best friend and benefactor. Over a period of time, Elisabeth had donated much monety to her cause and had also extended many loans to her.

After the death of Elisabeth, Jeanne Weiss was considered a plausible suspect because she owed the murder victim a lot of money. Louis Servais, Elisabeth's secretary, found Jeanne rummaging among Elisabeth's papers. commissaire Larosière surmised that she was probably searching for the IOUs for all the money which Elisabeth had loaned to her.

Jeanne Weiss also serves a secondary plot role to support the trope of Larosière going after a different woman in each episode, Larosière tries to hit on her. Although Jeanne is clearly a feminist and dislikes men (in fact, prefering women) Larosière appears to be making some headway. However, everything comes to a halt when Clémence Mousson is murdered and Larosière has to break cover and reveal that he is a policeman.

Jeanne Weiss is portrayed by Noémie De Lattre.
