Alain Delon, Beautiful Bad Boy of French Cinema, Dies At 88
Alain Delon, the smoldering, award-winning iconic French actor died at his home in the Loire Valley on Saturday. He was 88.
During the 1960s and ‘70s, he was one of the most sought after movie stars by acclaimed filmmakers. In Europe, Delon was known for his roles in crime dramas, with roles as a cop killer, an assassin, a murderer on the lam. But, he was also widely seen in other roles and genres.
The cinema legend starred as a wartime German art dealer, grappling with being mistaken for a Jewish man with the same name, in the 1976 French best picture winner, Mr. Klein.
