You mean French-American actress Jacqueline Duval… https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0245031/

It has been updated.

One of the major political figures in French history with Simone Veil. JMLP still holds on !

Dead

Prince Vittorio Emanuele of Savoy, head of the house of Savoy and heir to the throne of Italy dead at 86.

In comparison with Delon…him should be on the DL replacing Bardot !

Yes but yet, there was only one hit for these month of January, Laurence Badie. My personal Deathlist scores at O at this time.

Judith Magre, French comedian on screen and in theaters ages very well, she is 97, and is still active. She was interviewed on French TV, tonight : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lfol24M8tHQ&t=140s I shouldn’t have had her on my deathlist these year. She is in good condition and can easily go through 2024 and 2025.

Edith Cresson, the first female French Prime Minister (1991-1992) turns 90 today. The second and last female PM in France was Elisabeth Borne who left office just weeks ago.

RIP to one of the great filmmakers in Hollywood !

Let’s all consider him as he must be : Jimmy is immortal ! Period !

OMG ! So much deaths in your family in such a little time ! Sorry for your loss again !

Maurice le Coutour born in 1914, veteran of WW2 might be the new « doyen des Français » oldest French man. I saw that he was quoted in the thread World War 2 Veterans :

L’ actrice Laurence Badie est morte à 95 ans. Actrice à la voix unique !

Roger Guillemin, French-American neuroscientist and Nobel Prize 1977 for medecine is 100 today !

Great obituary !

On the French and Spanish versions of his Wikipedia biography, it's indicated that he is dead.

French actress Anne Vernon turns 100. She is famous for playing with Deneuve in « the Umbrellas of Cherbourg » a movie still famous in France ! She had a great career in the 1950s and the 1960s but no more afterwards. She now lives quietly in the south of France, and she found herself a new hobby painting. She is one of my picks for my French deathlist these year.

Sad news to hear ! An other legend after Maradona, Pelé, Fontaine, Suarez, Charlton, Zagallo, etc...can count all of them ! may they play football/soccer together in heaven.

Her birthday is the 9th January….not the 7th. http://www.lesgensducinema.com/affiche_acteur.php?mots=Anne+Vernon&nom_acteur=VERNON Anne&ident=57949&debut=0&record=0&from=ok

She looks frail at almost 90. I give her two more years max. She should be in the DL 2025 and 2026.

What I wrote can be put in the special thread Alain Delon…sorry !

The DL should regret to not having Delon in the DL. I write there just after saw the interview of Anthony Delon his son on BFMTV. Delon, 88 years old, is physically diminished. He can not speak as easily as before. He needs assistance to move. Until these summer, Alain Delon moved between France and Switzerland (he has residences in both countries and citizenship of both), now since the summer the health of Delon deteriorated more and Anthony says that now his father wants to live his final years or months or weeks…don’t know…in the domain of Douchy, a former castle in a village, located one hour and half, south of Paris. (For precisions Google Maps is your help). Delon wants to be buried in his domain next to his dogs, he had many in the past and they are buried in the domain of Douchy. So I’m glad, Delon is in my French deathlist these year, he should have been considered by the DL . I think he will not reach his 90th birthday in november 2025, Anthony Delon even says that Christmas 2023 could be his last. In my think, Delon is afraid to die someday. Maybe he will achieve 89 but that’s almost sure, not 90. link to the video of Anthony Delon on French news channel BFMTV :

By seeing the current health of Depardieu. To travel he needs a wheelchair and to walk he is continually assisted by someone. And his obesity is a factor for cardiac issues. He turned 75 in december. 5 more years to go for the 80th…I’m not sure, he will reach it !
