Editor's Take:
Alain Delon was the face of French cinema in its golden age. His beauty made him a star, but his best roles showed a cold, dangerous edge. He worked with great directors including Visconti, Antonioni and Melville. Le Samouraï made his silent hitman a model for screen cool. He remained a towering, often controversial figure until his death in 2024.
