He was so damn suave. 93 is a good innings. RIP.
I think it was reported he was the last living french presence from the golden age of Hollywood.
Loved him in Octupussy.
Shame on me, I spelt his surname correctly in the Showbiz section, but wrong in here, it should be JOURDAN.
Regardless, his screen presence was strong enough to make him memorable to many over years. Plus, he had so much charm. Who could resist that?
"Out there?"
"Go!"
