Louis Jourdan, who crafted a Hollywood acting career in the footsteps of fellow dapper Frenchmen Maurice Chevalier and Charles Boyer and is best remembered for the musical “Gigi” and as the villain in James Bond pic “Octopussy,” has died at 93. According to his friend and biographer Olivier Minne, he died Saturday at his home in Beverly Hills.

Wow I didn’t think the guy was that old. Pretty crazy, 40 years ago he was the same age as me. I only wish I can live as long as that. On the other hand if Hitlery becomes our next POTUS I probably won’t even make it to 2018 because of Armageddon.
Wow I looked him up on IMDB. Married to the same woman since 1946 and she died last year......
Berthe ‘Quique’ Frederique Jourdan (11 March 1946 - 2014) (her death) (1 child)

Anyone who can stay married to someone for sixty-eight years deserves a complement.
Interesting. I was just reading this about Cary Grant last night in Cary’s bio: “When a young fellow like Louis Jourdan moves in on your field, you take stock of your assets and liabilities. It make you nervous.”
She is a very attractive woman. It looks like she is just wearing a shirt.
Didn’t he try to kill someone by serving them improperly prepared fugu in Colombo?
I think she’s wearing a pair of high-waisted shorts popular in the 1940s and 50s and her shirt is tucked into it. BTW, Louis looks particularly hairy in the photo. Wish I could unsee that image....
If my name was Bertha, I’d probably call myself “Kiki,” too.
That was Alain Delon, and it was a funny movie!
All that black stuff, “The curse of Texas!”
And Joey Bishop, who played a Kronkawa Indian because his “mother ran too fast” from the Comanches.
Alas, it wasn’t Louis Jourdan.
Thanks. I still enjoyed the movie.
He made a great Dracula. I wish I could find that movie again.
Yes, he was a great Dracula. Very talented man!!

“”Louis looks particularly hairy in the photo. Wish I could unsee that image....””
Same here - hard to miss those hairy legs....
sad, he was great in Octopussy,
“Octopussy, octopussy...”. Greatest movie line ever.
I enjoyed his work, always seemed to be a class act. My late aunt married a Swiss national who strongly resembled M. Jourdan. RIP.
He married well. ;~))
RIP to along life.
