Alain Delon, a cinematic legend known for his roles in classics such as Purple Noon and Le Samourai, passed away peacefully at age 88, surrounded by family.
French President Emmanuel Macron memorialized Delon as a monumental figure in French cinema, describing him as 'melancholy, popular, secretive' and more than just a star.
Delon's health had been declining since suffering a stroke in 2019 and battling B-cell lymphoma, which led to public family disputes related to his care.
Despite a quiet presence in the 1990s, Delon made headlines in 2023 with a family complaint against his assistant, showcasing the tensions surrounding his final years.
