From heartthrob to screen legend, this handsome French actor has made many films from the '60s until today, most of them were French productions while a few of them were from Hollywood. I first saw him in the French movie, "Christine" where he played opposite the beautiful Romy Schneider, (1938 - 1982) whom Delon was engaged to at the time. I think Delon's character died during the duel at the end of the movie and I believed I was so moved that I did cry a tear, and that's how I became a fan of Alain Delon.

His romance with Schneider ended in real life, but they both went to Hollywood to make several movies, separately though. However, they remained good friends and made two more movies together at later years. Delon's Hollywood movies included "Once A Thief" and "Yellow Rolls-Royce", etc. He later abandoned Hollywood and returned to France to make many more local movies. One of them was called "Plein Soleil" - an early version of "The Talented Mr. Ripley" (a film remade by Matt Damon in 1999) where Delon played the talented Tom Ripley.
