A Few Reads for Monday

 In another death of note, actor Alain Delon, a French actor who was sort of a sex symbol or something to women, has passed away at the age of 88, his son announced.    His end was rather sad, as a stroke led to a fight over conservatorship.

Snip from NPR:

Born in a wealthy Parisian suburb, Delon endured a tumultuous early life. His parents divorced when he was 4 years old. He spent his childhood shuffling between a foster family, various relatives and boarding schools, where he developed a reputation as a troublemaker and petty thief. At 17, Delon enlisted in the French navy, serving in what was then French Indochina for four years. After his service, he worked odd jobs, including as a waiter and a longshoreman, and started dating an actress — Brigitte Auber — who would be his entry into moviemaking.

Delon started getting attention on screen starting in the late 1950s. One early role was as the lead in a French/Italian sex comedy called Faibles Femmes, or Women Are Weak.
