Duvalier, Simone

Duvalier, Simone
▪ 1998

      Haitian political figure who presided as first lady of the country as the wife ("Mama Doc") of Haitian dictator François ("Papa Doc") Duvalier, the brutal and corrupt leader of Haiti from 1957 to 1971, and as the mother of Jean-Claude, who was a teenager when he succeeded to the throne after his father's death; she wielded considerable power during her son's reign (1971-86) but lost her status as first lady when he married in 1981. When Jean-Claude was ousted in a 1986 coup, she fled with her son and daughter-in-law and eventually settled in France, where she and Jean-Claude (who was later divorced) lived in greatly reduced circumstances (b. c. 1913—d. Dec. 26, 1997).
