Believed to have used the name to please a grandchild, Levesque's filly became a Canadian and United States champion racehorse in 1970.

[1] In 1957, Fanfreluche made her first appearance as a character of the children show Le grenier aux images.

[1] Yaroshevskaya, originally from Moscow, based her character on stories from russian poet Pushkin and the ballet Coppélia.
