May her memory be for a blessing.
Alain Delon R.I.P.
I've loved a lot of his films of the 60s and 70s until early 80s, among my favourites Luchino Visconti’s Rocco and His Brothers (1960) and The Leopard (1963), Michelangelo Antonioni’s The Eclipse (1962), Joseph Losey’s Mr. Klein (1976) and Jean-Pierre Melville’s Le Samouraï (1967)
He suffered a stroke in 2019

To me he was one of the most handsome men on earth and maybe even THE most handsome and the sexiest too, yes. My fave movie with him (and Romy Schneider) is The Swimming Pool. Sadly, all the actors of this movie are now dead, including Jane Birkin. It must have been weird and difficult for Delon and Schneider to play a hot couple when off camera there were no longer one. I'm really saddened by Delon's passing because he was one of the huge French talents I loved since my youth. It makes me feel old. There is now only one French cinema wonder of this generation left: Brigitte Bardot. She will be 90 y.o. in september.
Love that film as well. Romy and Alain are so damn sexy in this one.
For those too young to remember him, he was a really influential daytime talk host; without him The View etc wouldn't exist. He was very liberal in his politics and got cancelled by MSNBC for opposing the Iraq war.
I spent the evening watching documentaries about Alain and Romy.
This is horrible. They were gathered together for their sister’s wedding this weekend and just out cycling.NHL player Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew were killed last night by a drunk driver

Love his music. We saw him in Orlando in 2015 and the concert was wonderful. There is a large Brazilian population in the area and there was an older man with his grandson sitting in front of us. The grandson was maybe 8 years old and both were dressed up and wearing hats like Sergio. The kid knew every song. We had fun just watching the two of them.Legendary Brazilian musician and composer Sergio Mendes has died:
