French President affirms that actor Alain Delon is a monument of the country's cinema.

The family of actor Alain Delon said he passed away peacefully at his home in Douchy, in the Val de Loire region of France.

Alain Delon's health has declined in recent years, especially after his stroke. His last public appearance was when he received the honorary Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2019.

French President Emmanuel Macron sent his condolences to the family of actor Delon, affirming that he was not only a legendary actor but also a monument of the country's cinema.

Actor Alain Delon was born in 1935 in Sceaux, a small commune on the outskirts of Paris. In 1957, he made his acting debut in Send a Woman When the Devil Fails, directed by Yves Allégret.

His handsome appearance conquered producers, helping him quickly be assigned leading roles in many classic films such as Purple Noon (1960), Le Samurai (1967)...

As one of Europe's top actors, Alain Delon was unsuccessful in his attempt to make it in Hollywood. In his later years, he lived in a peaceful village in the Northeast of France.
