Jean-Louis Trintignant dead at 91: 'A Man and a Woman' star was French film icon
French film legend Jean-Louis Trintignant has died at the age of 91.
The veteran international superstar passed away at his home in the Gard region of southern France on Friday. His wife, Marianne, confirmed his death to Agence France-Presse.
He is perhaps best known for his work in art house cinema, including “A Man and a Woman,” “My Night at Maud’s,” “The Conformist,” “Three Colors: Red” and “Amour.”
His 60-year career led to more than 130 screen credits and at least 50 stage roles, spanning Shakespeare to French comedy.
In 1969, Trintignant was awarded Cannes’ best actor prize for political thriller “Z,” helmed by famed Greek director Costa-Gavras.
