RIP Alain Delon

The original, impossibly handsome Mr. Ripley.

In the words of French President, Emmanuel Macron:

Melancholic, popular, secretive, he was more than a star: a French monument.


To quote from a social media post by New York magazine:

Delon starred in the tabloids almost as much as in films of the French New Wave.
