Alain Delon, the internationally acclaimed French actor, has died aged 88.
Sunset Boulevard/Corbis—Getty ImagesPARIS — Alain Delon, the internationally acclaimed French actor who embodied both the bad guy and the policeman and made hearts throb around the world, died at age 88, French media reported.
Earlier this year, his son Anthony had said his father had been been diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma, a type of cancer. He made several Italian movies, working, most notably with Visconti in the 1961 film “Rocco and His Brothers,” in which Delon portrays a self-sacrificing brother intent on helping his sibling. The movie won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival.
Delon continued to captivate audiences for years — on the way courting criticism for comments deemed outdated. In 2010, he appeared in “Un mari de trop” and returned to the stage in 2011 with “An Ordinary Day,” alongside his daughter Anouchka. At 17, Delon joined the navy and was sent to Indochina. Back in France in 1956, he held various odd jobs from waiter to a carrier in the Paris meat market before turning to acting.
