Clearly there's stuff I need to catch up on... Well yeah you know what they say: "your greatness is only determined by how long your Wikipedia page is." William Henry Harrison has a pretty long-ass Wikipedia page and what did he do beside being too stupid to wear a coat on his freeeezing inauguration day and dying 30 days later, leaving the Americans with a substitute president for 3 years and 11 months? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Life Is Beautiful 716 Posted September 28, 2017 10 hours ago, Deadpool said: Delon deserves this tread. One of the biggest actor from France and recognised internationally. Absolutely. In France, only Gabin, Depardieu and Belmondo can be considered arguably greater. He's also a major 60's and 70's sex symbol. Speaking of which, you might wanna keep an eye on those last two names I mentioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't find any other references to this, but some of Haneke's pictures seem to support this. No, he doesn't. He's talking about Trintignant. It's long-winded journalese - "(the actor) who was in Michel Haneke's 'Amour' ". Alain Delon sait que celui qui joue dans 'Amour' de Michael Haneke souffre d'un cancer. 6 hours ago, alt obits guy said: Mais, vous avez compris quand meme. Bien sur. But others might not.

Lafaucheuse 4,051 Posted September 6, 2021 Alain Delon reacted to Belmondo’s death saying this : translation : I’m so devastated. I’ll try to hang on to not do the same as he did in the next 5 hours. But it would be great if we died together, we started together 60 years ago. Delon is always really dramatic but could it be a Piaf/Cocteau situation all over again ? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
