- Delon seemed that he demanded to send the same picture to

left hand usually, turns the dial outside. However, there
is a tendency which makes a dial his right hand inside
only within the time of being killed with the role of a

band at this time. ) It seems that this is the production
of performance. It is interesting when we look this
carefully.

Delon lives in the forest of the fir
in the middle of a certain big site. Soft breeze blows softly. He closes his
eyes at this place alone, thinks the past which it is over, but it is not
lost. In this site that do not allow a person to come near, he is in the
shadow of shrubbery in full glory of the flower only alone. It is surrounded
by the wall of the red brick, and this site of approximately 56 hectares in
almost remote place of the out-of-the-way place in Loiret prefecture, and
this site is covered by trees, and this site leads a prefectural road side
of the 133 kilos from Paris through a wrought iron fence. He bought the land
and the huge building which was built midmost. When it passes the house of
caretaker in the right side, follows the beaten track meandingly in endless
undergrowth of weeds and sunlight through the trees. The way goes along the
side of a pond made artificially. In a row of trees, the way threads
windingly. On Christmas in 1999, 400 trees were knocked down, because of the
heavy storm that tore a forest completely but some are still lying. 6 of
white and brown horses spend the calm rest of life while eating grass
leisurely, escape from slaughterhouse. They do not to be ridden a person
anymore. A white heron moves in the pond of a duck. And the way spreading
out endlessly disappears in the horizon before reaching the hill. There is
the thin swimming pool in the midmost of the land where it is bordered by
the solid sculpture image of the animal, and it was surrounded the
circumference in the building of the modern which is elegant farmhouse
style. These houses are 30 years old. An electrical generator is taken to
one of these. This neighborhood was the plain which was gloomy, and seemed
to be desolate with many valleys before such a building was built, and there
was a big castle of product made in red brick 3 stories of the style in the
days of Louis Philippard which had a half-timber and a chapel midmost. In
these days, Delon lived with Mireille Darc for 2 years. She who had
hairstyle such as the helmet, had a sexless build, played a white-hot human
being with a free woman, impertinence called a free woman with the carrier
of the French movie of the ten years. She has already appeared in " Galia "
and " La Grande Sauterelle ", and she was familiar in the cheerful
indifference that served as fresh and young state of things willfulness.
Alain and she really came across was slightly before, but they passed each
other approximately 2 times before in a few years. Mireille was in a studio
of Saint Maurice which filmed an episode of " Bons Vivants " first.
Coquettish Alain who worked at the next studio set came to talk to her.
Anymore of the production crew of Georges Lautner made fun Mireille in it,
and they enjoyed it. However, the things did not progress more than it. Afterwards
they left Paris, they met again in the airplane which they went to Spain.
She had filming of " Barbouze cherie " there, and he had filming of " Les
Centurions " there. They did talk whole during the flight. When Mireille
raeched the spot, she changed a hotel so that he did not find her. She says
that " He was slightly fierce " now. " I thought that he went too far. Ni,
more than it. Everything. Too much beautiful, too much strong, too much
masculine. Therefore, I was going to escape from him. " After all the thing
did not progress more than it then in this way either, and each other
finisher each movie. The plan that would meet in Spain was not realized. She
passed him again in Paris several years later. Because of the May, 1968
revolution, it is just time when Alain had to cancel a performance of drama
" Yeux creves " which Jean Cau wrote for him. Under the director Raymond
Rouleau, he played a role called Dino who was the lover of the homosexual
racing driver who retired. The seep, cold racing driver whom Curd Jurgens
played, married with a billionaire of the cocainism who was Marie Bell, but
she aimed to make the lover of husband as hers. The presentation was full of
complexity. Alain employed 15 professional wrestlers including " le bourreau
de Bethune ", he kept the performance, and to let Marie who was full of
uneasiness feel relieved. However, when the 23 rd performance was over from
the start one month later, the
Gymnase
theater was closed in the beginning of April, 1968. Alain spent time of
depression. On the other hand, Mireille convinced of the joy that met him,
called him at that time. She said sometimes that " I was attracted by him
though I did not look for him. " She showed goodwill and trust to him who
spent timid time, and she gave vitality again in this way. At that time, she
had a plan that filmed an American comedy which with Ken Annakin director,
Bourvil costarring, with a long pleated skirt figure. It is the movie "
Monte Carlo Rally " that described Monaco car rally in 1927. He left the
position to feelings rather than a head, Alain went to Italy to meet her.
And the thing progressed this time. He went to Saint-Tropez that was the
location point of " La Piscine " after having stayed in the spot with her.
Mireille who finished filming, went to Saint-Tropez to meet him, thereafter
they came back to Paris together without leaving it all the time while
making a detour after filming. They decided to live together. Because just
after, Delon purchased Douchy, Mireille became the building chief of the
residence. She drove a bulldozer, demolished an old castle and chapel,
destroyed a wall, stirred soil, dug the pond, elaborated a plan in the
domain of the relationship, and draft a design for new residence. She
commanded the construction from beginning to end while was helped by Lolo
who was one of the assistant of movie.
" I
coordinated entirely. I all like it. Alain trusted me overall, so I built
it." Mireille who shoved a hand in the cement while devoting to
construction, was with Alain together in this way. " We lived in a slightly
strange atmosphere. An affair Markovic achieved the climax and police
officers always followed Alain. Whenever he stepped forward one step, it got
a long line. He was always followed and was watched." It stopped
construction of Douchy for a while and Alain left to Antwerp and Bruges,
because Alain was film of " Jeff " that he produced by himself. Mireille ran
around whole Europe for the advertising tour of the movie " Un Corps, une
Nuit " which she filmed with Gian Maria Volonte in Italy but Alain suggested
to her the role of Eva of " Jeff ". She was OK it. She left with him to
Belgium naturally. " When I think of this time of my life, I feel like
having lived strong and intense something in these days. The trial that we
got over let us bind two people together in a stronger bond. It may seem to
be said that it was totally attached by welding. I loved him and, in this
life, I lived with one man who did not let me feel that he was an actor. I
never felt that I shared existence as an actor with Alain. Because we did
our best anytime not to be called actor couple. " When Mireille met Alain,
they did not have the common point in the movie world at all. Both the
director and costars were different. At least until 1968. Their only
mediation was Michel Audiard who was a former their writer. Under Alain who
does not teach her, does not whisper advice to her, Mireille plays the role
which added to heaviness than used to be. She in " Jeff " played the woman
who waited for the return of the lover who was a boss of the thief corps in
the extreme romantic scenery. The conspirators doubted it so that he may
have escaped with the trunk clogged up the jewel when a boss did not readily
appear. Whenever she talked, white breath went out of the mouth by cold. And
it was seen so far as if she could sob with the voice that she who was not
able to readily cry whispered in all scenes and the condition immediately
anytime. She was in the past, was the joker like a laughter but she became a
taciturn human being firmly suddenly.
When the construction of the house was over, they went out of the apartment
in quai Kennedy and they moved to Douchy. They left the girls who came over
from all over the world, stayed at on the mat of their door. " The most
favorite part of Alain is that he never deceive, so the person around him
was always able to feel that they were at important position of his life. He
appeared in my eyes strongly and delicately. And I was happiness that strong
and delicate man like him needed me. I think that I was able to give him
stability, balance and vitality. " Anyone knows vitality of Mireille. When
she wrote a certain scenario in her real name Aigroz, Alain planned
production of " Madly " based on it. But she shoud not have played the
role of Agathe at first. " Because Alain expected to play me the role, I
appeared without rehearsal. " Mireille spent 14 years with Alain. " We
parted in 1982. He decided it suddenly. But actually we did not leave. We
did not get angry. We never had that we splashed terrible words on each
other. I did not assume that the day could not be with him, came, so I was
very hard. I thought that it was needed with him till death. But it was
presented another one. I must not regret it, and I do not regret. " In fact,
Alain met Annne Parillaud through Oliver Dassault. After a test, he
appointed her in " Pour la peau d'un flic ". And he became crazy about her
during the filming. " It was sudden intense love at first sight. Even if I
would control it somehow, but I was not able to do it. Reason fought against
a feeling, but a feeling won, and I waited for there not to be the feeling,
but the feeling did not fade away. " Alain lived with Anne for three years.

was even embarrassed by a blue eyes of the costar Alain. In after years, she
recollects that time as follows. "The time when I first met him was that I
was taken a photograph at his apartment in Paris. Alain was attractive,
smart kindly so I was aroused very much. Then, a few days after, I met him
at an another party, then we talked laughingly a lot, enjoyed with drinking
alcohol. I was just his captive. Afterwards, I went to Los Angeles with him
for location but he was totally different there he incredibly pored all
nerve for work with concentration as an actor. He is a person who never cuts
corners. He was punctual, he practiced English lines many times in a
dressing room. As for me, I honored to have been able to do work with a
professional like him." About a private part, Kristel gives ambiguous some
answers. "I wanted to know him more, but he concentrated on his role, so it
was difficult to approach him. As for him, I would be only
『 crazy
girl 』."

In the alley surrounding the house
of Douchy, Anouchka does the first trial with a hand being pulled to
parents. Anouchka Van Bremen-Delon who was born on 12 : 36 25th
November 1990 in France is first walking after she was born. A certain
famous astrology teacher divined her astronomical figure. Of course, without
it is not told whose child she is. The character equipped with grace and
courtesy. Besides, a sense of justice, humanity and a sociable and polite
tone. Nevertheless, the active action filled in her adaptation power could
support energy only in the protected environment, only her territory which
she can feel easy from the bottom of her heart. Is there any place where the
residence of Douchy was protected ? It is the place Delon called "base" and
built the hiding place, and the place which built the happy ground. The
place which is a man with many faces, an actor, a producer, the fine-arts
collector and the busy man who dashes a century runs in Paris, Tokyo, Geneva
and New York so that it may go in the neighborhood completely. The 56 years
old father has time to pull his child's hand in the interval many fax and
phone. Between the parents who are holding her hand since she doesn't fall
over, Anouchka continues walking, though balance is lacked. Delon says, "
The princess in my forest will discover her kingdom soon." Delon is
fascinated by the small daughter who jumps into his arm. It is not him of
familiarity in us. He whom we see on a movie is completely differed from. In
front of the princess in forest, he seems to be the vassal who came out in
front of the feudal lord. Delon says, " Anouchka walked for the first time
in the 13th month. It's a completely common thing. Because I
myself began to walk in nine months. " Suddenly, he turns his thoughts to
his childhood age. The small boyhood age which I was playing in Rue de la Terrasse of Fresnes. The time when I had never known getting to Indo-China,
the dazzling career wanders from place to place with passion, the shining
success, being damaged and supreme judgment. He who put the glory on the
glory is liable autism. His pride is high. He is extremely prudent in
friendship and love. And he is lonely. However, happiness came here to beat
this loneliness. It's forcible and tenacious. The happiness is the height of
child's height. ( information from Paris Match N 2223 1992 )

job. If he will chose, I will aid and help him. But I think that it will be
possible to change it in his present age. When I was at the time of his age,
I wanted to be the motorcycle member of the police. And at that time, I was
watching the two policemen who wore the uniform, who rode on a motorcycle
and were passing at Bourg-la-Reine of Avenue d'Orleans every morning every

uproar and enlivens a dispute. Neglectful Delon, being out of order Delon,
Delon who shuts himself in a bunker etc. " I understand that people did not
like my movie. But why do they attack me so intensely ? " He charms a
person, on the other hand, he makes to be irritate a person. A man respects
him and is jealous him. An woman is in love with him secretly and wants to

Pieere Massimi which played the part of attendant of Delon at that time. "
Alain Delon was not going to stare at me in the love scene either. He
watched only a spotlight of my back to let the blue of his eyes become more
attractive. Therefore, I did the same thing too. I played confession of love
while watching eyes of Pierre Massimi which stood behind him. The eyes of
Pierre Massimi were the best. It will be how an interesting thing ! Because
Delon went to the light, and I confessed the love toward his attendant ! "
She confided. According to famous reporter France Roche which was the
filming field, Alain Delon seems to have acted with great tact to be in
favor with everybody during the filming. She says, " I was amazed to learn
that Alain Delon wanted to be in favor with all too much. Because he gave a
present and did unbelievable grumbling, and everyone got tired at last. "
The review of this movie was terrible.

It
seems that Delon brought his son
Anthony to Douchy at that time of the shooting "Madly" in 1970.
-
At an interview of Paris Match,
Delon has replied to the question that "Do you dizzy to an honor or wealth
?" as follows that "When I dizzy, it is the time that I feel by myself that
whether I have the qualification which gets what actually comes into my
hand. There are many people who should be given them rather than me in the
world. Because I am an accidental product. It is an accident and a miracle.
When I was 14 years old, I got a studies proof of "good" and left the
school, was learned the work of a pork processing craftsman. After that,
although I went into the army. I was a common youth. The movie is so strange
thing for my life. Because it came to call me from the movie. One day, I was
scouted on the road. And when I stood in front of the camera so that it
could also be said to be a miracle, I realized that here was my room in an
instant. Actor. Simultaneously, the work of an actor is not an occupation.
Although the person whose occupation is a performer, a doctor, a pork
processing craftsman etc can study, the person whose occupation is an actor
is not necessarily studied. It is like telling my life. I am an actor who
lives a life and I am not an actor who acts. I didn't have a job which I
wanted to be till then. However, since when I went to Indo-China, I had
thought that I would be the highest even if I would be whatever. If I were a
newspaper seller, I would like to be the highest seller, if I were a man who
was shoeshine, I would like to be the highest shoeshine man. When I returned
from Indo-China to Paris and arrive at East station in Paris, I had nothing
except a ticket of a subway. I was not able to buy a croissant either. I
didn't have an address and a house. Because it was out of the idea to me to
have returned to the place of my mother and my father in law. I only had one
friend who was going to take the examination of police. I was only able to
think that there were two ways which I would return to the army or I would
become a vagrant. But I chose the third way." ( information from
Paris Match M 2533-2219 1991 )
( Delon's Family )
- Delon lives together with a Netherland's
singer Rosalie
Van Bremen since 1987.
- The original title of " Le Toubib "
is "Harmony", which cranked in on April 14th
in
1979, taking 1 month location in Paris and the rest 2
months in a giant open set.
- Music on "Le Gitan" was by
Claude Bolling who is a crazy jazz fan, who is also a big
fan of a Gypsy genius guitarist Reinhardt Claude Bolling.
The " Django " record used in this movie was
recorded with a French jazzman Hubert Rostaing's clarinet.
Django suddenly died in 1953 at 43 in Fontainebleau. The
sound track single " Le Gitan " is FMS-1
on Seven Seas Records, cost 500 yen in 1976.
-
It is 12
months from very much successful " Pour la peau d'un flic " ( mobilized more
than 3,000,000 people ) Delon finishes being going to take " Le Battant " of
two items as a director. He is a producer too, and is a star. Alain Delon
takes the favorite material in the new " detective film ", which was a key
of the success of 1 item. The time of 1 item, he said that " Danger and
risk, adventure and seductiveness, there are studded with ideally." And the
new work is just it. He challenged it as a director to the limit. He did it
without regard for circuit, so it was hot for the stars. He says that " the
movie director is a born of my carrier. What I am blessed is that I can do
action freely, independently. The freedom of the production was necessary,
too. I like entertainment, even if it is any kind of form." Anne Parillaud
who is a new face of the expectation, appears for this movie. She is one
actress what Alain Delon gave a chance. Alain Delon has never forgotten the
chance given himself. However, he thinks that himself deserves taking a
chance. He understood that he could stand in the top, if he worked intensely
from long time ago. He got over all. The trap which was set the life and
success by jealousy, criticism, envy. He liked challenging a challenge in
both the life and work. He hold a match of the boxing and established the
company of the helicopter and making of a factory of furniture and a
perfume, and particularly challenge it as well as a producer and an actor
various ways. He poured passion and energy same as a movie. The misfortune
for him is not to succeed in France. In U.S.A., Alain Delon is an actor as
the same grade of Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley. Besides, Delon is right
considered to be God now in Japan. However, in our country, he becomes the
target of criticism anytime. He is all ignore from the people so-called "
representative " of the French movie world. There is not the praise in
Cannes, and there is not even nomination to the Cesar. A spectator loves him
! The slanderer does not die out after he stood in the top. There is his
word that I suggested how difficult it is to let a person recognize a
quality of him. " I have pulchritude, wealth, and I am famous too. However,
I can not but suffer from cancer so that I am liked ! " In the times of this
recession, Delon steers own company and moves French film industry. General
de Gaulle said that Brigitte Bardot brought France money more than Renaut
corporation. Now, other superstars inherit her back and bring vigor to
French economy. This is one of Alain Delon's challenge too. The movie is
industry. In the recession, the people do not invest retreats steadily.
Essentially, Alain Delon can live in comfort by leaving his property with
the bank at a good rate. He will be able to leave movie world as a big shot
while he is felt jealous. However, instead of doing it, he appears for the
own work as a producer every time. In other words, he finances his movie. He
invests the fund which is a big sum in the adventure of this movie world
every time. He knows that he becomes serious, if he fails. This is one of
his challenge, too. It is one man challenge, and it is the country
challenge. Recent French movie " Pour la peau d'un flic ", " Le professeur "
are superior to an American film markedly. It was not thought several years
ago. France is recognized more, if it follows Alain Delon. He steps forward
to the one step named " Le Battant " again.
- " Un Flic " cranked in on Dec 15th
1972 at a studio in Nice.
- Sydne Rome who co-stared with Delon on
"La Race Des Seigneurs" was born in Ohio, her
father is an Irish Russian, mother is from Ireland. She
married to a photographer named Emirio Rali ? who
attended her screen test. In addition she can never speak
French at all.
- The Premiere of "Borsalino and co.,"
was held at Theatre Paris ( capacity of 480 seats ) at 9pm
on Oct 22nd 1974. ( Delon to attend there took the day
off at Zorro's filming and returned from Rome. ) The
organizer of this event was by a France's economy founder
giant Mr. Marcel Dassaut who is also a back upper of Delon.
After the show they moved to a nearby publishing building
Jours De France and another big party was held. Invited
are 600 people. Dassaut is the owner of a weapon and
publishing companies, that he sold a lot of weapons to
European countries. The cost of "Borsalino and co.,"
was for 15,000,000 francs ( 900,000,000 yen ) and the 40
old cars used in the film all belonged to Delon, it is
said that he auctioned them after the movie.
- In 1974 Delon owned a music publishing company called " Adel Music " along
with the movie production company and used to sell publishing rights to over
the world. Also owned a " Heli Adel ", an aircraft company having 6
helicopters for lease. He was going to establish another company called "Air
Union" singing a contract to buy jets and owned several air bus as a matter
of fact to plan to fly over Atlantic. However, the Government did not give
permission because it would compete with " Air France ".
- Concerning his move to Switzerland, Delon states as follow : "I am
conscious of being an European. I announced that I was for Maastricht
treaty, too. I voted for it at French Embassy as I was in Geneva on Sunday.
I have lived in this house for a very long time. In order to obtain right to
live in Swiss you need to get Permission B to stay, this enables you to live
in an apartment or rent a house or stay at a hotel, but unless you live
there for more than 5 years, you cannot get Permission C that can buy a
house. I bought my present house after living there for 5 years. I like the
swimming pool and the garden very much. It is close to the center of the
city, only 10 min to the airport though, surrounded by trees to feel as if I
were in the end of the world under illusion. From now on I roundtrip here
and Geneva with Douchy. They mistakably say that I live in Geneva for tax,
money, but I simply like this town. First of all this town is located
further to the South than Paris and has more than 300 sunny days. In Paris,
city, cars, they are all violent attacking and make me nervous. I do not go
out so often here that they complain not to see me in town, but I do
sometimes go to Bistro for lunch, or Italian restaurant, too." - 1992 -
- In answer to the question if he sleeps till late in the morning Delon
said : " No, human after a certain age can do with little sleep. I wake up at
7. Since I am awake till late at night, I cannot sleep more than 4,5 hours
each day." As to the question about losing weight since " Le Retour De
Casanova ", he said : " Because I like eating, I made efforts to lose weight.
I do not do sports except for a walk with dog in Douchy. Because I did a lot
of sports in the movies already." About being a collector of
fine art to
quit for a while, he said : "Never, but today's art firm is very difficult
to deal with. I used to like sketches from 16th, 17th, 18th centuries very
much for a long time. But now I show interest in Fauvism that influenced
German Modern expressionism and am going away from impressionists. Now I am
interested in the art movement
Cobra by North European artists in 1948. The
name Cobra was picked up by initial letters of Copenhagen, Brussels and
Amsterdam. I understood the pictures of Asger, Jorn, Alechinsky, Corneille
since my childhood, they are colorful as well, I put those pictures in my
room at Anouchka." Delon said. - 1992 -
- Delon has his house in Marrakech Morocco too.
- Delon's favorite politician is Raymond Barre. Delon has told about him
as follows that "I don't think that he will become the President in an
ordinary way. Although it is thought now that he is not successful at all,
he has promised to do his best always for this country. But it is useless if
some disasters would not happen in order for French people to understand
that he is the person who can help French people. I wish that French people
regain a reason in the future." ( information from Paris Match M

and brought up him with sacrificing all. "

states as follow : Birthday is not my favorite event. Therefore no plan. I

when birthday was coming closer, I entered a hospital for health checking.
It is an ideal place for retired life. No calls from relatives or close
pals, no bouquet, either that it was like a trip for several days as a
matter of fact. I may do the same this year. Birthday is enough to celebrate
by 10 some people. My 50th anniversary was by my mother and some others
total : 12 persons.
-
Concerning Bernard-Henri Levy's film " Le Jour et La Nuit "
filmed in Mexico, Delon said : " Since Bernard does not want to talk about
this movie, let me tell you about the fascinating episode of the meeting
with him. Before I met him, my image of him was that he was an active Bosna
director, a leftist intellectual, but meeting with him to realize that he is
one movie director, intelligent and talented spiritual active man. He is
very quick to make pose of the shooting and adjusts to anything and very
generous to actors and has strong physical strength. During the 10 day
filming, I never saw him sitting down. He was completely concentrated on his
work. His only demerit to say, is that he is too pure director
technical-wise."
-
Driving a big
station wagon, I put the dog, the cat, the Barbie Doll and the plastic model
on vacation in France with children. The last 300 km has separated me from
him. The distance from Amsterdam to Douchy is long. Just become being
vacation early ! When summer is the most beautiful, we pass together for two
months without separating. Suddenly a cell phone rings. "This is Didier Rapaud of Paris Match speaking. Alain became being such a thing !" I was
surprised. He added. "The news agency told me that it seems Alain Delon died
by traffic accident in Switzerland." What happens in a woman's head at such
the moment ? Life runs around the inside of the head with terrible speed.
Two childbirth, some quarrels, misunderstanding, a fine day, overflowing
love, married life. I phoned Douchy where he ought to be waiting for us. It
is not connected. Panic and fear. I endeavored to heed that it was made not
to notice by children and I stepped on the accelerator a little. I talked
with them about a dog and a cat. I slightly raised the volume of radio in
order to erase an ill-omened idea but I became uneasy whether the news would
be reported by radio, so I turned off the radio. It is too cruel for
children. I had lapsed into an illusion which is moving in the inside of the
movie which does not want to also become extra. B level film. Nightmare.
Just at that time, the telephone was continuously ringing in Douchy........................
on 19th
July 2000 became dark Wednesday for me. Although I was in the
house of Douchy with the dogs by only me, a telephone began to ring
obstinately repeatedly at 9 pm. It is rare thing that calling at such late
time. Because usually only a few close friends call me. Perhaps it might be
the alarm of my apartment in Paris or from the crime prevention center of
the police. The Mr. and Mrs. who have managed this residence sort out the
telephone. It seems that they are from Paris or Switzerland etc. I thought
of favorite persons. I thought whether my favorite famous important person
died. I considered the worst thing. It is not sure what happens somewhere. I
asked the janitors whether they watched TV news. Although they watched it,
they told me that there was not especially death report of a famous person.
Moreover, the telephone rings. This time, the janitor told me like that he
is a friend from St-Tropez. It was said that " he heard that you died by a
traffic accident." I answered. "If a such telephone comes next, please give
as follows." " I am vigorously alive." Suddenly, all are upset. I don't know
what to say ! Delon's traffic accident. Three person's Delon are moving by
car just now ! Wife and children. Rosalie, Anouchka and Alain-Fabien. They
are just going to come here for vacation in Douchy from Netherlands. In case
of an emergency, a military policeman should look for an identification card
first. The fearful spectacle ran in my head. My heart fills with fear. I
have to slowly systematize and consider as having calmness is maintained.
First, it is confirming informational credibility. I call Rosalie with
painful mind. She picks up the phone. I can hear her voice. All were solved.
I was relieved soon and I became a carefree tune. There isn't unusual
situation. They are between Reims and Soissons where is 1 more hour to Douchy. My wife and children whom I love most will arrive here soon. To
my kingdom, to our kingdom. Rosalie also became a bright tune. She tells me
about the telephone of Didier Rapaud. Rumor has spread. This annoying rumor.
I know that what kind of thing is a thing called rumor ? My mother who
already died became dying owing to it. Fortunately one telephone proved that
I am alive and nothing occurred. There were many rumors about me until now.
For example, Delon has operated his nose and ear or he has went bankrupt,
"Although Alain Delon is young and famous, has beautiful face and much
money, he got cancer. " during the shining 70s. I struck back as follows,
" Actually, I am young and famous, have beautiful face and much money, but
I'm sorry it makes you disappointed, I have never got cancer." The only
method of being equal to rumor is despising rumor and ignoring. It is easy
for a certain man and difficult for a certain man.

When the son Anthony became the age that must be entrusted
to parental authority of the father, and when the luxurious apartment at Rue
Fabert was too big to live alone and loneliness became to gather, Nathalie
Delon decided to leave France for one year. "It is hard that I am separated
from my
child whom I brought up for 14 years. For present Tony ( Anthony's
nickname ), being under authority of his parent is important. Therefore,
both Alain and I agreed with this decision. But I had thought that I would
be able to endure this loneliness but after one month, I noticed that it was
hard for me that I was separated from this son. What I must do was to
disappear. Therefore I decided to go to a trip. Alone. To stare at only
myself." At first, Nathalie thought the destination for searching myself. "I
had always lived at the apartments which were too big for me. Therefore, I
would like to live at only one room which is as a bedroom, a study room and
a closet all in one." When Nathalie left France, a novelist Pascal Jardin
did one foreknowledge. "It is the problem that you leave with to carry
Nathalie Delon on your back." He was not wrong. Nathalie traveled to Mexico,
Bahamas and Jamaica during several weeks. And she finally found the place to
stay with her friend Caroline Pteiffer who was a producer in Los Angeles.
She took down a trunk and put a stuffed doll of the monkey which she took
good care of from childhood on a capper bed in a room with blue wall paper.
( Her room was always blue. ) There is a photograph of Tony on a small round
table. And there are two books which are "Loneliness of 100 years" written
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and " Also Sprach Zarathustra " written by Nietzsche
on a sofa. "I was always taken care of and lived while I was protected. In
old days, Alain took care of all of me. It seemed that I was like a small
girl for him. It was Lulu who was in charge of child care of Anthony. She
undertook housework in all of my house and in the excessive excellence, I
didn't know where was there my sheet either. Now, I leave France and I am
learning to live alone without Tony and Lulu. She swims at Malibu Beach and
enjoys an airship in Los Angeles. However, it does not seem that being
without sense of reality at all. "I didn't fly the country. I will come back
to France next new year. Now, it is only in a holiday for consideration. I
will have a long-term vacation with Tony. I have never had a vacation
without him." She added while she choked with damp eyes. " I understand he is
going to be a man gradually. It is noble ! " ( information from

occupation which requires to go to school and study and has to pass each
step. Actor is a unexpected creature. What can offer is personality, so no
education is needed. If there is a school for actor it is his own life. None
of Gabin, Lancaster, Alan Ladd or I learned how to act in front of camera. I
act as a stage player but my partner is the great player Gerad Philippe' son
in heart : Francis Huster. This contrast is the highlight of the play " Les
Variations Enigmatiques ". Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt wrote this play having me as
its image, but I was unable to say that for a while. Then, my friend and

able to write, so I decided to just produce it. An idea occurs to me and I
select director, playwright and performers all by myself. "Paroles Paroles"
was an homage to Dalida. "Le Lion" was meant for Anouchka and it wouldn't
have been created without her. Because actor is the most wonderful
occupation, if they can, I want them to follow me. My most demerit is that I
think I have no demerits myself. My most merit is that I know of my most
demerits.

After the shock of failure by the movie "Le Passage" in
1986, Delon considered retirement though, accepted acting in "Cinema" the
biggest TV drama of 1988. It was rumored that Delon's contract guarantee
was for 20,000,000 franc, but he said that he was paid for worth his talent.
The private broadcasting company TF1 spent 60,000,000 franc for production
of 90 min 4 episodes. Besides that, Delon's script had words "I did not want
to become an actor, There happened to be nothing else that I could, I do not
like this firm". Although TV drama was what he always kept away from, he was
inspired reading the scenario : That's it ! I wanted to prove that TV can
create what movie can quality wise. Delon explained. Filming went on smoothly
enough and Delon went well with its director Philippe Lefebvre, too. It got
very good reviews. Delon also contributed a lot to promote it. At that time
TV stations happened to go on 24 hour strikes. Delon complained against that
saying : we pay tax, but we can not see the TV, this is never what public
organization should be. I would to kick them off. In order to make a new hit
record, it was on air on Sunday night for the first episode, then 3 other
episodes on Monday night, but was not able to get a good audience rating as
expected.

The going out with real father of
Alain was set down on Thursday. A movie theater in Montparnasse. However,
kind of a star for him was boxers. The airplane which French champion Marcel
Cerdan whom I loved and respected got on, was moving to America crashed in
1949. Alain heard this obituary from his grandmother. "On the next day,
students and teachers cried. The whole France cried. His state funeral was
decided." He tells it. In this deep sorrow, unexpected development waited
again. He did not mourn over the death of the another victim who was a
famous violinist Ginette Neveu due to the same plane accident, therefore he
got a slap from his grandmother. "When my grandmother grieves by death of
the violinist, I said to her that
『 I
don't know such a violinist, it is indifferent. Marcel Cerdan died. Do you
understand ? 』Then
I was slapped. In this way, in those days, I who did not know about a genius
violinist and great musician at all, first knew who is Ginette Neveu. She
boarded the airplane same as Marcel Cerdan."

Nathalie realized that she was not good for married life,
that the magic for the combination of Alain-Nathalie was gone in 1968. Delon
was anxious about
influence of divorce toward the son, but Nathalie flew to
Italy in 1968 and they parted then. Delon regarded this divorce as the worst
happening in his life and regretted that it involved the 4-year-old son.
Anthony was at just the same age as when Delon experienced his parent'
divorce. Delon asked Nathalie to keep the family name " Delon " and hoped to
let Anthony have a mark of Delon with him.
-
In 1984 Delon sued
Anthony
Delon of naming his leather apparel as
" A.Delon " brand and fought in the court and won. Concerning this case, Delon
stated at TV program as follow : "It is hard to maintain being the son of
Delon, and so is it to be his father. Anthony thinks it unhappy that we
divorced, but I wanted to give more severe education to him than what I was
given. I wanted to teach him what a mature man is. I wanted him to start
leading his own life, but he was gone from me at 18. Probably he was a
problem being Anthony Delon." Several years later Anthony stated : "Our
family has been broken up, but to forgive is an important thing. My relation
with my father never worked good enough, and never is now, either. Life is
like this way.....I was unable to communicate with him well. I felt like I
grew up beside an unknown man whom I was never satisfied with." Anthony was
arrested by stealing a bike at 16, later also experienced life in jail by
car robbery. Later had many scandals that made media busy.

Delon's father Fabien Delon ( nickname : Fafa ) opened a
movie theatre called "Regina" on Sept 18th
1931. Lately it was closed in

"Regina-Alain Delon".
-
On May 1st 1956, leaving the navy in Toulon, Delon moved to
a third class hotel at Pigalle in Paris with Lucien Lejeune. The name of this
hotel was "Regina", same as his father's theatre when he was a child. Delon
worked overnight at Les Halles for a while. Later Delon met with a neighbor
named "Dalida" who was dreaming of becoming an actress.
-
In 1956 Delon's idols were "Frank Sinatra" and "John
Garfield ".
-
On Sep 15th 1966 started filming " Les Aventuriers ". This
movie was co-starred by Serge Reggiani who influenced him musically and

-
A big project of a movie by Raoul Levy : "Marco Polo" was unfinished. In the
winter of 1962 in Beograd, Delon became friends with Yvan Chiffre who made stunt
man for Alain in this movie. Yvan felt an unexpected specialty that Alain
Delon talks about his movie for himself. Later tax office's investigation
was made at Yvan Chiffre's office and this filming was stopped. Production
fees caused delay in payment, besides that, Alain as the main actor in the
film, decided to get out of the project. On Dec 31st
1966, that bankrupted
promoter Paoul Levy committed suicide. Alain mourned his death and later
contributed "Borsalino" to him.
-
In 1995, Alain's mother Edith at 86's comment : "He was handsome since 7, I
could see a good prospect for his future. I haven't seen him for ten years
though, he hides his mind. It is true that he loves his job." After a while
she died and Alain stated : "I feel that what I have accomplished was stolen
from my mother. She was beautiful and wanted to become an actress. I am
scared to see myself in the mirror to look just like her. My face looks the
same as what I saw her at 10." Alain has less relationship with his father
that he had with his mother. After his death Alain said that although he had
little relation with him, that was what my life fixed. However, now I can
understand him. Father and Mother were not on good terms. They were
adventurers and did many things. They had poet's spirit. Even now they are
watching me beside me, I believe.
-
Delon's enthusiasm for business never stops. He let his cosmetic business
succeed. Thus, he is said to have gotten more money than being an actor.
Besides that, brand-merchandizing " Alain Delon " on spectacles, watches, pret-a-porter,
cognac, champagne he got royalties. His private lawyer is Dominique Warluzel
who is famous by being a lawyer of many other stars. Hw kept away from
appearing TV commercials, but made it on "Alain Affelou" spectacle
commercial in 2000. In Japan appeared on " D'urban " and "Mazda". Also
concerned with
tabacco business in Cambodia that had 13% share in there : " Alain Delon tabacco ". He cancelled its promo tour because of danger that
might involve him. A best-seller novelist Paul-Loup Sulitzer states : "He is
more business-like person than everybody else may think. He knows what he
wants and likes to earn money. He is like a lovely child but goes avid. He
gets to feel hypocrisy, danger, hostility. He is like a cat, also a blotting
paper".

A success of " Parole de Flic " which Delon plays with firm
strongly also humorously assembled 1,800,000 spectators lightly. It is due
to Catherine whom Delon is calling " KiKi " that we can see new Delon here.
She told about Delon and herself for "France-Soir Magazine". Delon says "I
don't believe coincidence". Catherine was at a crossroads which I should
meet her. Since their way meets, Alain and Catherine are leading a happy
life in their apartment which overlooks the Seine, without separating from
beginning to end. Alain regained the energy to a smile and work again on the
soft and smiling side of Catherine. Delon says "She is the woman who makes
me appear even to a movie likes " Parole de Flic ". She was also pleased the
idea when Catherine read the first version of scenario but she said that a
setup which Fiona Gelin who is my sweetheart in a movie and will be killed
at the end was too sad. We converted the scene Fiona was recovered
fortunately and everybody become happy on the last scene, according to her
proposal which "How is rather happy-end ?" I think that it was wonderful
idea. But it is difficult thing to live with human being like me. I think
that she has not been understood the weight of concern of the mass
communications turned to her yet. In spite of this, I decided to announce to
people officially as I protect her from others or herself. Delon chose
Catherine after Romy Schneider, Nathalie, Mireille Darc. She knows nothing
about movie. However, she can be simultaneously seen this complicated world
via her fresh eyes. She works and lives like the same aged a lot of other
women. On the other hand, before Alain knows, she is bringing Alain who is
star close to general people. We required Catherine that please tell us
about this man of fate of her. Alain taught to us as "Catherine is a shy
person absurdly" beforehand however. her words were not exhausted when she
talk about happiness. Love caused one miracle also here again. I was 18
years old when I saw Alain. He came for shopping to Guy Laroche. I was
completely fascinated by his good looks and the smiling face, and I have
been completely charmed by "something" that only the top star different from
an ordinary person has. This charm is in his sharp look which only he has.
Even now, I have feeling that he perceives all the inside of my heart when
Alain sees me. But I know that the charm also turns out without his being
conscious. I always notice this look of him when he attracts someone too
much. And I am convinced that the many women will be fascinated to him. I
will forget that there is an age difference among us when I live with him.
Because he is not annoyed growing old, and he is still magnificent like when
he is 50 years old now and like when I met him for the first time. He always
says about himself like "the good wine which ripens well". I discovered the
strange world and his another field via photography of " Parole de Flic ". For
example, it was surprised that the scene of a movie is not taken photograph
as the order of the scenario and that photography began from the last scene
conversely. But it was discovery of Alain who is working as an actor that I
became unconsciousness most. I was astonished that he has a capability which
it can turn completely into another person in an instant. The moment he is
drinking coffee slowly with me, he gained arms at the last moment, his
expression changes to a severe offensive expression which a role requires.
And as soon as " cut " voice starts, he returns to drinking up coffee slowly
again. I have a lot of surprise when I gaze him. I think sometimes that how
far is his performance before his capability which I love, that is to
say, the capability which it can turn completely into another person. I have
been said him "maybe you will also have acted in actual life". he answered
with laughter and like this. "I am a poor actor in actual life". That is
right. In order to act in actual life, he is too stubborn, fastidious and
too strict. And Alain is unrelated man with a liar and deception especially.
He lives satisfactorily and does anything without looking back upon
impoliteness. Consequently, he decided to announce about me to the public to
avoid undecided. He said "The public people needs to know your existence".
Thus, by having announced officially, he did my positioning and made my
private life easy. He took care to do that I will be in a good mood and he
did so that I won't feel I am out of place. Anyway, a life with Alain is
wonderful. I learned a lot from him. He gives me a lot and expects me a lot
so I can't take a nap and enjoy laze around at his side. He abhors these
things. I think that he is right to be sure ! He is always active and
dabbles in all things, and he is a perfect principle, and he always strings
the antenna so he notices a merely trifling change immediately. However,
even if he is right, I am sometimes disgusted. Therefore, when severe, I
become silent and my mood become bad. He apologize when it turns out that he
is bad if it would not so, I would go to him. Because he tends to be roused
to anger but he is very gentle and awfully compassionately and delicate. He
is also very attractive person. Comfort and violence. Probably, if he would
not be this much going too far, he would not have his charm. However I want to
sometimes tell him if it to be lazy it more slowly. Although it is
difficult.....But my character is indifferent, I like laughing and I am
seeing only the good field of life so he and I have been kept the balance
exactly. Anyhow, he is very good mood now because the spectator of " Parole
de Flic " is likely that the amount of 1,800,000 people. I surprised too much
when I saw the short sentence " KiKi " in the credit title of movie " Parole de Flic ". Once I had been seen at non-edited rushes when Alain came for
projection. And he said to me "look at credit title" and then I was able to
see the two words "KiKi" to the lower of that. I thought that it was his
really wonderful care. He wanted to present to me this movie which he
appears with the smiling face which completely different from former
appears. As if he wanted to say " I want you to see such me" completely. A
couple is wonderful. Nothing is greater than a couple's birth. However we
have to continue for being great and to continue it. A man have to be wise
and fair and considered deeply in love. you have to know partner's demand
and accept that. I know that Alain always needs to be attached people. My
care is the most important thing for him. He needs my existence when his
mind and his body are serious at photography. I have to accept him if I want
to be in his rhythm and go in his time. The house which I can be called "The
house of I and Alain" is the country house of Douchy for me. Alain always
seems to be glad there. There are 18 dogs, 3 goats, 15 sheep, and a pool and
a training room, and
bicycles in there. He is always doing Sunday carpentry.
It is the peaceful time with relaxation as nobody visits and nothing call. I
can forget the look to us from people as I see that he charges and returns
to nature and becomes solitude. However, nobody can say "those who do both
the whole life" ? I will not be able to protect another anyone to come here
in spite of taking care of that. But I will not be able to live in the fear
which may lose Alain so we are investigating about the girl whom we want to
now. Alain seems to want two girls at once ! Making child accidentally can
not so I will decide to do that with him.

( Alain Prost ) I like those who fight. Prost
tends to become the champion of the F1 world championship. It is due to the

me. Like his song " La derniere seance " ( the last performance ), my father
also had been had a small movie theater, before I was born. Then it has been
pulled down in order to build Prisunic ( super chain of France ). - Alain Delon

baptism means the same as the guarantor of the movie world which is called parrain in France ), I am real the name of parents whom I brought her to the
baptism board when she is 14 years old. Although, Geraldine chose the career
as an actress, I feel responsibility of a certain kind for her. Her father
is a producer's Raymond Danon and I am her the name of parents so her way
seems had been decided. She said that her dream is co-starring with me. But
I will be perplexed if I would play as my role is her sweetheart. But I feel
that it is strange that she calls me "papa". - Alain Delon -

( Jacques Salat-Baroux ) I am attracted very much to those
who offer life to self-sacrificing work and human love-self-sacrifice.
Cancer researcher Mathe and cardiac disease researcher Cabrol. Moreover,
Salat-Baroux is also such person. They never appear in media brilliantly.
They are the race which is being studied steadily in behind. A man forgets
them while people don't need them. And when people need them, their hand
turns into a God hand. - Alain Delon -

Delon heaved a sigh in 1983. "I don't have life any longer.
It is not two person's life any longer and I have been lost the thing which
can be called life". He was troubled by about ( that the quiet love with
Mireille for 15 years closed the curtain at the time ) at the ache of a
blank and love. However, Delon met again the young woman who had already met
14 years ago, by chance in this June 1984. And he memorized loving her
little by little, and studied living again. Catherine was studying the
dress-and-ornaments design under the famous designer ( Guy Laroche ) who had
tailored the dress of Alain Delon, at the age of 18. He has been a
star and she was a child as awkward and bashful. She regarded him as
wonderful. I may possibly love him secretly. However, she respected the
relation which he had built with Mireille. After for a while, they become
together by chance at airplane for Rio again. Since Alain and Mireille go to
a festival, and Catherine was just going to go to F1 Brazil Grand Prix for
joining her husband Didier Pironi. And also after that, it overlaps by
chance. When Alain and Mireille separated, Didier and Catherine had also
greeted the catastrophe. Fate overlapped in this June at last. Later, Delon
tells to his friend "When I met Catherine again, I felt that it became the
ambulance which found the hospital". Timy is a jealously and ferocious dog.
He always watched master and nobody makes master bring close. However, when
Catherine visited the apartment of Delon in Paris for the first time, Timy
flew to greet her. She was accepted immediately. This young woman is quiet
and sincere and simple and innocent. She loves simple happiness and true
friend and the country more than polite society and urban noise, the
impressionist school and Bach, Mozart and a long novel like Alain. She
and I sit on each two person's armchair and read a book while listening to
music at night. Both of a partner's freedom is respected. Delon who loves
playing a comedy is imitated Michel Simon and Louis de Funes and it is also
makes Catherine roar laughter. Fortunate human being does not have a
complication. Catherine and Alain know the thing within many years with
everyday small joy become big happiness. She dreamed the tacit comprehension
filled this affection from the time of their meeting for the first time 14
years ago.

kind of man of the neighborhood ! I only merely think that this is a story
about myself. The actor of one person who is heretic and who was blessed

I had a dinner with Alain
Delon faced each other at his apartment. A painting of Gericault hangs over
the wall. " I used to be absorbed in a weapon and a sports car before. Now
Gericault is enjoyed my eyes. He attracts light on a canvas. But I am not
faithful to only Gericault." he said. – Well. Genuine Rubens was put to this
easel is how beautiful ! Zitrone – Asparagus and Yankeeism
Omar array a
dining table. However. After that, this talk becomes the memory
that it can not delete for him who is the master of the house. Because the
foot of my
Omar lobster with the source slides down on his pale gray carpet,
and it stained admirable red. " I'm sorry !" I said, then " It is not
serious. " he answered. However, he seemed to have been still drawn a
little. In addition, there was the disagreeable state of instant among us
when the foot of Omar let sauce scatter. And afterwards, we laughed. We can
not try to be a gentleman between I and him. We are bound together by
friendship for 15 years. I met him at room bicycle race track. He was crazy
a
bicycle about that time, and he proudly carried the bicycle of Fausto
Coppi when he came to Paris. And also Alain rode a bicycle by him self.
He never becomes vague in
the middle of an interview. The answers overflow in faithfulness anytime. In
addition,
the photograph of this page is extremely rare. Because, he never
admits the photography at the home. " Home is extremely place, it is hard to
invade for me. My home is my refuge and my hideout. Now, I take
『
Borsalino 』
producing it with Belmondo. The filming continues until 4:00 of the dawn and
afterwards leaves for home by car every night. I do not drive a car by
myself anymore now. There is not the desire that I want to run on as before
in my Ferrari. A smart driver picks me up now. For these past several days,
I still return early. Because, my son Anthony 5 years old is in my house
now. His mother Nathalie goes to the foreign country, and I monopolize
Anthony ! I enter the bed at dawn, but I get up still at 8:00. I prepare his
breakfast and take him to the school. Then I begin a sleep again. I have a
certain good point that it is born a sudden change of the life. It is to
easily put it in a sleep anytime. The sleeping drug is not necessary for me,
and I am very healthy in this way. I try to avoid drinking wine but I can
eat my all favorite things." - How does your child feel your
checkered life ? Zitrone – "When I become dead tired and come back from work,
I think that 『
I was saved.』
just to look at the sleeping face
of Anthony. I am a sensitive human being moderately. This past 2 years, in
what I tasted bitterness, the reason that I was able to evade the worst, is
that there was Anthony. When I must recover myself to continue living, I am
helped by thinking him. When I am out of blood, I am encouraged by seeing
his photograph." – How
does he watch you ?
Zitrone
- "He found me in the poster of
『
Le clan des siciliens
』,
and he shouted that it was a daddy that was strong among three people most
joyfully yesterday. Two years ago, when he watched that his mother and
father lined up on the
poster of
『
Le samourai 』
put on around the walls in Paris, and he became to be proud. I have divorced
with
Nathalie now. Anthony understands that something already changes,
『
the house of mom 』
and
『
the house of daddy
』
are separate. The divorce of the parent for the child. I wanted to avoid
this by any means. But, what will I do ? Myself suffered very much. I was
an unhappy child born between short love of parents. They started each life
again afterwards. In the case of me with Nathalie, I meet my son very often,
and I do not let Anthony feel hot now. This is only one success that she and
I have done. In two years, the thing that tortured me the most, was family
breakdown. But my present happiness is Anthony." -
You are handsome, famous and rich person. But why can't
you find the most happiness to a woman ? Zitrone –
" This is not fault
of the woman. It is my fault. Because, I don't
give my chastity which a woman requests to them. It is hard to say, I can
not love only one woman at the time. I can love three or four women at the
same time. " - Then you must always being
health ? Zitrone - ( laughter ) "If my world is
limited to one woman, I will choke. But I can be gentle to all women. Of
course, I have a particulary favorite woman, but she must accept me as it
really is. But, in my side, I do not give the favorite woman freedom. I am
strong in a desire for exclusive possession and am jealous. It will be no
wonder that she can not find happiness to me. Therefore, I have lived with
being a deception for a long time. The reason is that I did not want to let
a person suffer idly. I tell a lie and put a lie on a lie. In this, I did
not reach happiness. But I feel that I was able to arrive my happiness at
last now. Because, the beautiful, famous woman who is in the center of my
love life now, completely understands me and she accepts me as it really is.
" - You became a movie producer. Do you think
that you can appoint Nathalie Delon someday ? Zitrone – "
I think that it may be such a thing. If she is suitable for a position, it
will be. She is a splendid actress. But what I want to say here, is not that
I will appoint her due to she was my former wife, she is the mother of
Anthony. If I will appoint her, it is due to that she is suitable for a
certain position most. In fact, I dislike many parts of my life. Actually, I
do my favorite work. But, my most favorite job is only when a director cries
『 Calmly. Action ! 』 and
a camera runs, and I play the scene. However,
unfortunately, secondary work
will be afterwards. A photograph, an interview, a gala, a premium, a lunch
... and people's terrible curiosity for me. It
seems that as if they watch an animal. I used to watch a famous orangutan at
a zoo in London once. A crowd flocked and looked at this orangutan everyday
since before several years, my eyes contact the eyes of orangutan. I felt
that this monkey looked down on me at that time. Within 15 seconds, he
injured me by his eyes. I became slightly ashamed. By the way, it is the
same as this monkey in the everyday life, the people look at me. But, I came
to think that they did not feel that this curiosity is ashamed recently. "
– Alain, I am your house now in this way, then I attack
you by a microphone and question.... " Ridiculos.
You are different. You gave me only the kind words. And you called me my
first TV program 『 Sports −Dimanche
』. – Please talk about the success in your movie
world. Zitrone - " When I stood in front of a
camera for the first time, I felt it was my true occupation. It is my
liberation. I was proceeded to expulsion from the school in many places and
spent the child days I swung. After that, 5 years Navy life. I was demoted
by 『 worthless 』 three
times. And I was rebeared by a movie at last. " -
You play the villain often. Why ? Zitrone - " The
truth is the dream that a movie merely is made for money making, is dull.
Our spectator likes gangster. They like seeing a thief defeating the police.
The present French movie producers are too narrow- minded. The reason why I
came to produce a movie by myself is that I wanted to let Delon plays with
Belmondo and Bardot. But please don't think that I
always get a big money. With 『 L'Insomis
』 , I lost a big money. It is the one of this
having been hard. Now, in 『 Borsalino 』
took a big amount of production costs, when I think about invester, I frets.
But I must not show such an any uneasiness as the actor's
performance. The spectator knows nothing. From their, Belmond and I do not
look the relationship between a producer and the star. We are friend each
other, and I can be relazed when I am with him. – Then, one more. In
" Le Clan des Siciliens ",
you played with Gabin and Ventura. It is personality of
three persons three.
Is there the fight over the honor ? Zitrone - "
There is not it at all. The honor is that three people with a splendid actor
each, and playing three important roles together. A movie is such a thing.
It is so in America, but it is unusual in France. I have great respect
towards Gabin who is a great superior. Because when I was a year of present
Anthony, he appeared for 『 La Grande Illusion
』 and 『 Pepe le Moko
』 " - from Leon Zitrone interview

It seems that Delon dislikes short haircut because of his
ear shape. His
friends called it as "haft of a crock". So he seems has been complex about
this peculiarity since it and he has tried to conceal his ears by longer
hair. And this complex was too big for him so he wanted to have plastic
surgery in 1965 when he played in "Lost Command". But he had to give up this
idea because journalists investigated about his plans to make cosmetic
operation on his ears and there was big ironic reaction in media. So Delon
refused this operation. ( Information by Miss. Karina )

Nathalie Delon didn't need much time
to become to be the lead in the French movie world. Guarantee of " Le Samourai " of November in 1967 was 3,000,000 francs for old franc. In
addition, she earns 10,000,000 francs by " La Lecon Particuliere ". Besides,
the photography of "Fall out ( sisters )" which will become her origin of an
international carrier began in Cinecitta on 13th
January, but it is said to the guarantee with 25,000,000 francs for old
franc. If I look at only several characters, I am overwhelm. However these
numbers don't always reflect reality precisely. Nathalie Delon doesn't jump
even what kind of role like a new face does quite often. She has more she
declines a role than she undertakes a role. She says that "at the beginning,
my looks was a factor of my luck. This is surely a necessary element but
only in this, all is not enough. Looks may become to help to pass through
the door of a studio but on a screen, it is not recognized only in looks.
Therefore an essential element of factor of choice increases there. It is
that a person harmonizes her play style, character and temperament with the
person whom she has to play. If a genius actress would be able to play any
roles. it is an exception but talent comes out of this harmony with myself
and the role. After bright debut, a famous idol spoils her voice due to
singing a song which does not match herself. If I undertook a role which
didn't match myself, I would have spoiled my carrier." Nathale Delon has
understood waiting while many future stars ran it up to screen out of greed
for success in life without understanding it whether they could keep the
seat of the leading role. She made much of it towards succeeding than merely
succeeding in life while burning with ambition. I can say her this
experience a surprising thing. Because succeeded in the situation that it
can not be said very much with the mental condition that was suitable to
fight. Parting with Alain, they were divorced and they were in a state which
competed although being calm over most important Anthony in the world.
However, it seems that Nathalie can hit both legs as a star well in the
ground in the town Cinecitta with her hair make clerk Mariel and Rosemary
who is her secretary and also her English teacher who taught her English
severely for three months in London. ( information from Jours de

Visconti had his other plan for a favorite. Usually, stubborn Alain accepted
to what he says, and he gave up the role, then Omar Sharif will play this
role splendidly later.

( About " Le Jour et la nuit " )
Bernard-Henri Levy left his
beautiful wife Arielle Dombasle to the breast of Alain Delon in his first
movie. We spent the beginning of an week to arrange the technical equipment.
These sets were not a thing for projecting the body, were a thing for
projecting the
shadow projected on the wall of the ruin of l'hcienda. We
placed two cameras in the place which can clearly photograph a shadow.
However, there was a thing which we were not able to predict. It is the
intense thunderstorm which happened in the afternoon. After rain, the big
insects which are a beetle like monster, a mosquito like bumblebee, the
grasshopper of a number which can’t believe and a grasshopper like spiny
lobster, carried out extensive breeding and our lighting attracted them like
a magnet. About ten assistants ran about two actor's surroundings in order
to keep away these horrifying insects. Consequently, although the two actors
was able to act for just 10 seconds until these insects exceeded the wall of
the assistants who block an actor's surroundings, after that, suddenly
Arielle screamed. The whole of the scene became panic. Because a paving
stone in which the two persons should lie next was covered with the carpet
of the dead insects. Of course, these are adjusted in an edit stage.
Although Bernard-Henri Levy was worried only about screen composition, it
was not the same in " Casanova " of Edouard Niermans. Delon says. "Since I
have a bitter experience in such a situation, I don't settle down. Before, I
had filmed the movie in the situation that a director's wife is my
supporting actor. The atmosphere between the director and me was unusual.
Although this director makes demands on me for the gesture and the act that
I am perplexed, I am blamed simultaneously. Since this memory remained
vividly , I had been talking all of these to Bernard."
-
In 1998, Delon tells about politics
by an interview with Paris Match magazine as follows. "If our country does
not play the role we should perform, a politician is just the same as it.
When the socialist party came out, people said that 『 They would stand well
only for two months. 』 Actually there were them for 14 years. Then
Mitterrand
dies, and
Chirac appears there. We greeted long conservative and reformists
politics again. As for me who is right wing, is perplexed by that. Because
election is the first in everything. Let's try to count. The number of
public employees will increase soon. Besides unemployed people and
emigrants. There are many French people who vote to Le Front National party
because they want to repel such situation. Therefore it is impossible that
right wing takes the rudder of politics again mathematically. The social
party stays for a long time. Jean Cau says that 『 The failure of right wing
means the victory of the left wing. 』"

( About Delon at
his villa in Douchy Part 1 ) The guest who visited Delon goes out from
Delon's villa,
the tall gates with wrought iron fence shut automatically,
then Delon becomes being only himself on his premises again, and various
remembrances come back, with his pet's dogs and memories. Unless it becomes
first in July every year, Rosalie, Anuchka and Alain-fabien don't come to
there for vacation. They stay there during summer but they spend almost all
time in Netherlands and Alain sometimes goes to there to meet them. Around the
sun is setting in a lower pond and the sun grazes the treetop of the trees
in forest, Alain leaves the poolside, goes to his residence, goes into there
from a big
glass window. When he pops his fingers, a sparrow comes to him
immediately and it perches on him. Delon who shouldered the one past and the
one history, advances with the fellows of coat of fur at his foot, the partner
of feather on his shoulder. Alain escapes from heroic many adventures, Alain Delon lives alone in his one world, no, probably it will be better to say
the two world. The world which he performed and the world where he lived.
Delon says "My life is an iceberg and people know only the public portion.
The three-fourth is hidden narrowly. The thing about movie does not at least
become the topic at all at home." Delon was not learned anything
from anybody. Delon what had been disobeyed a few somebody in the film
world, returns to his home and he is turning his thoughts toward his world,
toward the world which has not necessarily led only to a movie. Visconti
taught him the love toward to the beautiful things and masterpiece. Visconti
had been had education about them so much. Delon sold the part of animal
sculpture which made by Rembrandt Bugatti. ( for his films, for the research
of professor Leon Schwartzenberg ) But he has been had many animal
sculptures, plaster figure, marble figure, bronze figure. And he lends these
his collection to some exhibitions. Delon says "I will not be alive without
these animal sculptures." He is also collecting red lithographic picture,
rough drawing picture, painting, sculpture. A rarity like "Joseph dans ses
songes", sketch of Rembrandt, engraving of Alfred Durer were mixed up in his
villa. Delon borrows the handwriting of an initial called A.D. on his round
crest from Alfred Durer. Alain Delon is always absorbed in the rough drawing
in the 15th, 17th, 18th
century. There is no modernity anywhere and there are very classic.
"The rough drawing is the first idea, a draft and the first flash. The rough
drawing is linear relation of speculation and the heart and lead of a
pencil. " He leaves a little impressionist, inclines the Fauvism which
originated in the German expressionism. And also he admires COBRA which is
the art movement by the painter of North Europe, the name was made from the
initial of Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam. The pictures of painters
who are Asger Jorn, Alechinsky and Cormeille, obtains many ideas from a
child's picture, is natural and colorful. Some of the pictures are decorated
in his daughter's room. Paul Morrow ( Alain performed in " Arumaguedon "
which he wrote new. ) The very long desk which Paul Morrow used, it had to
put into the room before making the partition wall of the room. The two big
jars which Paul Morrow made, are put on Delon's living room. "I have
always purchased the art for joy of me. It is not meditation
purchase." Sitting on the sofa which always drinks coffee among the sofas
with off-white color which are in large numbers, Delon takes out the copy of
"The appeal to all French" what General De Gaulle appealed on June
17th 1940. ( This is not
"The appeal on June 18th" which people are making a
mistake in interpreting. ) He bought it with the absurd amount of
money 300,000 francs so that this document might not leave France, however
after that he decided that it contributes to "Resistance release Museum"
through Michel Debre after the luncheon party with Paul Meurisse, Jean Cau
and Michel Droit. "De Gaulle is the only politician whom I regret.
Because I did not meet him, it is too much regretful." It
was one of dreams of Delon, to receive the Legion d'honneur chevalier
decoration in personally from General's hand as a military man. ( Delon has
decorated the two photographs which under De Gaulle is taking a walk in
Ireland. ) Actually, although Alain did not request, Francois
Mitterrand who thought that Delon brought the effect to France, awarded him
the Legion d'honneur chevalier decoration individually. "I say nothing about
politics except I am the conservative human being and anticommunist and I am
not the human being that people would think of fascist." Alain Delon does not put the decoration to a lapel of the collar of his jacket.
The decoration is put in the drawer, together with individual documents
which such as binds a heart tight, the national service commandeur
decoration conferred from Jack Lang, and a Polaroid photograph of the last
of Romy Schneider in a coffin.

( Alain Delon at his villa
Douchy Part 2 ) Delon takes out one dark simple
photograph from a frame with a little deep emotion. It is Carlos Morison in
Santafe prison. This boxer's eyes are illuminated with the pale weak
electric bulb hung by the ceiling. He is held by Alain which came to him in
a solitary cell for the visit and looks at the air wrapped in the tear. For
the crime which threw up the third wife of him from the window, he had
served the sentence for penal servitude 11 years. A boxing fan's Delon plans
a tournament between the Europe Champion's
Jean-Claude Boutttier who had
chalked up 56 victories during 60 games and Carlos Morison, and he tells the
circumstances which held the middleweight division world championship.
( Delon learned boxing from Champion Sauveur Ciocca on the occasion of
photography of movie "Rocco et ses freres". ) Delon had invited this French
boxer Jean-Claude Bouttier to Delon's house at first in order to make
training of him perfectly, but Delon made him live in Douchy finally, and
placed the ring of red velvet in the bottom of the tent of middle of grass.
Mireille Darc which wore wood shoes, cooked and the meal with many dishes of
superfluous vitamins was served to Bouttier, his coach Jean Bretonnel and
the challengers of what man who came in order to exchange blows with this
French man. Bouttier stayed there for 46 days to equip the game on September
23rd 1973 what it will be defeated by an opponent of
Argentina after all. Delon included Morison in the return match with Jose " Mantequilla "
Napoles of the next year. ( At this time, training in Douchy was not
carried out. ) Alain is keeping the poster of these games. Alain and
Mireille invited all photography crews of the film "Le Gang"to the picnic on
grass in really that place where the tent for these sports was put up on
July in 1976. This movie of director Jacues Deray, producer and performance
Alain Delon, described the merciless attack of gang partisans against the
back ground of the France Release. After crank out, all photography crews of
this movie did the feast on grass in this way, and passed one pleasant day.
( Nicole Calfan of the role of a sweet heart of Alain, remembers this like
yesterday's thing. ) What and many happy memories are lived in memory of
Alain Delon. There are a billiards stand, a roulette board, a kraps stand in
the play room which is not much a long distance from the place, and paper,
data, the kept magazine report, are filled in the other casino game stand
and boring floor. On the other hand, the rare book, the scenario for which a
book was bound, the movie album, books of France and other countries written
about him etc, are put in the bookshelf of collection of books. The paper
which he wrote the sentence for a friend's rascal Francois Marcatoni. Alain
tells, "Even if there is a gang in my friends, my friendship is not thing
which is criticized by people. And I don't have reporting anything. Because
my work does not judge a deed of people." Some eulogies which are not able
to forgotten at one corner of a huge wooden table, are put disorderly.
Nothing is lost until the thing at the time of 1989 special program of
"Les Dossiers de l'ecran" which the produce staff went to Douchy specially,
and the two eulogies which the France Film Library took out. There are the
photographs of dogs on the wall whole surface. "A dog is the only living
thing can be sure that does not forsake and betray me." However, although
said so, Alain OKed to the
advertisement performance of the fur coat maker of Italy. "About
this affair, I regret excessively that my favorite Brigitte Bardor who
became to intimate, was offended, because I was cajoled a little. I regard
animal as important and I don't want animals to be in pain. Although I like
nature, why does it destroy the most beautiful thing in it ? To be sure, I
like tinkering with gun but I became a hunter, has never been once
either. It was a thing in Indochina that I became to like the guns, so that
I collected. The guns which I have , does not have great value and they are
not also like the exhibition thing of a museum. My passion to guns is
connected with the praise to Western film. I found out the world of Western
film through John Ford, Arthur Penn, and Sam Peckinpah and others which must
have worked together. The most beautiful
guns are two
pistols of the miniature ( it was made from real jewelry ) which I was made
for my wife Nathalie, when I went to Mexico to meet Brigitte Bardot under
photography "Viva Maria".

was shooting "La Veune Couderc" )

( Alain Delon at his villa Douchy Part 3 ) The visit to residence continues. The saddle of a horse which
greased perfectly and was polished with wax on the wooden handrail is put on
the preview room of a show room. The gallop by " La Tulipe Noire " or "Zorro"
and a gray jockey blouse which are his trademark, is the article which makes
being remembered his horse racing stable. His horse Equileo also became a
world champion. If night comes, the song of the bird which can also just be
said to be a concert, can be heard. "I am reminded of a certain concert of a
certain summer, whenever I am hearing the song. It is the thing of the time
of Rome which I lived in the apartment near the zoo. For the cry of an
animal, my eyes were clear all the night also." He smiles. One memory brings
back another memory. At the time of staying in this capital Rome, he was
just going to shoot the movie version of a novel was written by Tennessee
Williams "The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone". He was being given the
opportunity to play the role of a beauty boy with brown, however Warren
Beatty played the role with Marlene Dietrich as the supporting actress after
all. Delon who dreamed of what is tempted by her arm, closed his eyes
secretly. Suddenly, he remembers a girl friend Dalida whom in the
time when he lived in the attic room and gnawed sandwiches. Delon made
revived the famous song of Italy "Paroles, paroles" with her. "You have the same way of
speaking as usual, haven't you ?" Delon likes living in recollections. He
has been taken any recollections. Thus, the countless things are decorated
by the whole surface of the wall in his hiding place. From the arrangement
shelf, one of vests with silk embroidery of which "Casanova" droops, there
is a coat with gray which is trench style as the vestiges of many of his
detective films in coat hanger. Shortly, it is another age, another time.
And he remembers Mireille. "She continues being the woman whom I loved the
most to the next of Rosalie." He stumbles. In all the places of every room,
the child's toys are rolling without tidying up purposely, and it is waiting
for return of fortunate owners. The big car of a pedal type has stopped
beside the jukebox. Near a son's bed, about then photographs taken
continuously are mixed and are stuck. They are taken when Alain was
appearing on the stage. One day which has passed since " Les Yeux creves " for
30 years, Alain falls for the drama of "Variations Enigmatiques" written by
Eric Emmanuel Schmitt, and he determined for the stage comeback. The evening
of his birthday, Rosalie, Michel Marizy, Bertrand Reindoff-Petrov
distributed about 1,000 writers to the spectator of Marigny Theater through the
women of theater guidance. At the time of the last greeting, all the members
aroused the feeling, beginning to sing a "Happy Birthday", and attached
fire. On the other hand, two children of the actor with being taken by their
mother jumped into the stage for to kiss him. Alain was not able to suppress
a tear. He did not want to suppress. He has held children in his arms and
cried like a happy man. The handkerchief was flying about among spectators.
For the younger son Alain Fabien, it was the first stage. About him, it can
see on the last scene of the last episode of "Fabio Montale" series at the
beginning of 2002. It is a part of trilogy which made Marseilles of
Jean-Claude Izzo as the stage, and is a work which Alain plays the detective
for whom he accomplished a town and a southern part district in the problem
area in Marseilles. Alain fabien who became a co-actor unexpectedly ( he
pleased with co-starring with his father ) played the small boy as the
killed the coworker Mathilda May of the police. The partner who does the last
dialog with Alain who was injured too much, was just him as if it conveyed
completely precious passion to his youngest child, on the scene which hangs
an arm with a bandage and comes out from a cemetery. By Gilbert Coullier
manufacture, ( All manufacture friend's relations were awkward from the
start. ) when the play was resumed at the Paris Theater in the next season,
Stephane Freiss replaced Francis Hunster. Alain stopped the performance on
January 1st, after performing 100 times, without
beginning the world tour announced beforehand. And, he requested for
suspension of the performance for the evening of Christmas Eve and Christmas
could be stayed with children and wife at his house on the day and gained it
by the contract. In the time zone when he strolls about through the inside
of the site of Douchy, Rosalie often calls to his cell phone. Rosalie takes
care of him carefully. "I will get marry with her at a Church someday. She
is the woman of my fate and she is my children's mother. It is a wonderful
thing to obtain a child also become 50 years old. Because, it is after
having swept egoism and egocentric side at last. Rosalie is my mind
stability, my power and my happiness." Their love is a thing over 14 years.
In the middle of the Europe tour which sings " Blanc et Noir ", Alain met
Rosalie in Germany. He was in Germany for two TV programs in Humburg and
Cologne, at that time, the vacancy appeared in the back musician. And, the
alternative woman also canceled at the last minute. It ordered the shift to
one of friends and she by whom it was ordered, was not a singer, either, was
not a dancer, either and was a model. She were Miss. Holland and A World
Miss. University. She practiced in order to take a pitch and she went to the
promise. It was fresh Rosalie of 21 years old. ( She is 31 year a younger
from Alain ) "I am not a temptation person against an image. I know surely
throw myself at female feet, before having dozens of persons at cafe or
restaurant, while I am doing love absorbedly really." Alain is happy to the
extent that he looked at almost in the dream. "In fact, unless I am
surrounded by the word Action or Cut !, I am not truly happy. Because, then,
I am working and like this work, and I can become another person
simultaneously." Delon has not strained himself and is enjoying loving
loneliness. He is surrounded by yesterday when it becomes the support which
is useful in today, it is accompanied by mythological fantasy, always pride
is high, always fascination, always rebellious, he does not have even
uneasiness about having decided that a movie was stopped. "I am not going to
finish the whole life in a movie studio. I can not bear such a thing. I
decided to stop a movie and performed it. And I decided to go up to the
stage again and performed it. After "Le Chien" and "Chinema" , I decided to
revive on TV and performed it. Now I have finished the general things. If a
fan wishes, I will regain the passion which was fading away and will
continue it. If a fan does not wish, I will be doing another thing at Douchy."
Like the prince of Shakespeare who passed through the number of century of
criminal series, he doubts whether the fame as an important figure has
sometimes barred the way of himself. He maintains the brightness of
individuality managed with the joy finished carefully even now, he continues
taking wrinkles and risk with a fresh complexion. When the bright sun beings
to illuminate him red by the brightness at the time of dusk, Alain turns the
blue look to which the cold tear of the childhood age is still shining
toward his life and the past. "When I am sad, and
solitary and I am bitter in order that I am puzzled, I go to woods between
big trees to walk. Then I understand the triviality of things like that
general." - Alain Delon -

If it carries out, how can I write about the top star named Alain Delon who
is my friend over 20 years. How can I tell him without betraying him who
shared the secret with me. Our friendship is strange. Do we have something
in common ? He has got over very many risks. I thought repeatedly, "Oh, he
will be damaged this time." And even now, I may think so. However, now he
always stands up as an winner. And I don't know a person as wild as he, and
solitary. He is not so convenient for a friend. It is not common to drive
him. Even if he shows attachment, it is because he is always in the state of
self-defense. But he always does not burden anything to people, he has
burdened himself everything. A human being who is him was done alone.
According to resistance, strong will and intense passion. He has never
looked back the insignificant portion in the past. He has too much lost
friendship and lost fantasy. He turns to a front and continues running. His
private has known only tip of the icebergs in the world. Childhood in
Hay-les-Roses, the qualification of studies proof without a great thing,
a
pork processing craftman's qualification, infantry in Indo-China, many
adventures, travels, many women, marriage, a son, the age of 45 years old,
60 movies..... What can I tell about you ? You would say
that "You should just say that I am star. And you explain what is star. And
you should just present an eulogy." Then, it is right. No, it is wrong. To
mention Alain Delon in a word, I can say that he is nervous. He does not
keep still in one place. It seems that he has pulled the rope which the
caught savage beast has arrested itself. He goes and returns. He sits and
stands up. A little while ago, I was hearing that he sat down and talked in
front of fireplace. Then, suddenly, he has slept without any previous
announcement. At such time, I take one book and go into reading. He who
awoke at 2:00 in this morning says that "I have to go to sleep immediately."
However, actually he does not go to a bedroom without stroking a dog or
preparing order which is confirming the safety of a house. ( His
particularity to order is considerable, and he clarifies order and
discipline to everything. ) Moreover, his another side is that he is so
dexterous on his hands and also on his body unbelievably. In everything, his
behavior is gifted and his intuition is very excellent. For example, he
understands immediately that if he is given a complicated machine, how it
will move. Although he got a pork processing craftman's qualification no
less than 30 years ago, he removes the bone of sheep's leg meat, he can cut
meat skillfully. Probably, even if he was not an actor, he was able to do
everything. His body and behavior are perfect. That presence of his may
originate there. In another side, he is very sensitive character. He becomes
silent for defense and he has surprising memory for the thing which the
person whom he met in the past the same as the person who is solitary. He
remember everything. Also a gesture, word and a day. "You came to my house.
It was Saturday. You are wearing the blue hat and your dog was still alive
at that time. And you said like that." Such his memory is stubborn in
friendship matter and also love matter. I have to be careful saying, doing,
everything. The last side about him is his world. First, the big apartment
in Paris. Everyone can't enter there. It is his world which only the
selected friend can enter. And the big house has 52 ha in Douchy. Animals
and dogs are loved and protected. His most favorite dog " Jado " has died 3
months ago. "Jado has died in my arms. I think of him everyday. Although I
am thought that I am stupid, and I may be considered so. It is one of the
having been the hottest in my life.....I like dog unbelievably. Although I
have other many favorite things, only the dog is special. When you talk
about me, if you don't talk about a dog, it does not mean you told my
essence." "Then, if it says that you are a star ?" "Exact !" He uses
frequently this word "Exact !". Three years ago, I knew all his favorite
phrase. " Ca marche, J'ai compris ! " Now, this "Exact !" "But, what is having
been a star ?" "You should have already understood, I couldn't not make
write down your report by I dictate. If you write something about me, after
that, I will say you whether it is right or not." Thus, I am writing the
report. I become his intention and by write in the first person. When I use
the word star, many great actors and players in France. But only one person
who is Delon who gets over the border, who is loved everywhere, Latin
America, Egypt, Asia ( He said that "I am an idol of yellow people." ) and
Italy. Moreover, there is also problem of worship. A movie is not realized
without people. I was De Gaulle group. I worshipped and respected him. Do
you remember in May 1968 ? Although staying as the left wing may be stylish,
I don't need stylishness. I am not a snob either. I clearly say that what I
consider. For example, I like my country. And I am very painful when I look
at this country kneeling down, otherwise giving up. It seems that it is
dreadful that France is a major country. And it will be suspected if it is
not in its room. I am an actor, a producer and also a collector. I was
collecting without knowledge. But people don't accept it. People don't
understand. At first, although I surely went into this world by groping, I
still understand aesthetics little by little. And if a new eye is born to
me, I will be suddenly set as the object of respect as a collector. These
all symbolize my sometimes severe intense action. And also character like
dog and wolf. A person has to smile for being appropriate for myself. But it
is not my state that smiling by force. Because I stop existing by doing so.
I become the made existence and it is not myself. And it is really this
thing that I say I am a star. I want to be NO.1 and I show it without
hiding. And the reason I want to be first is not for a glory, is for my
will, work and passion. It was not easy to become Delon. I always had to
continue running by NO.1. It gets tired and occasionally I am blamed to jump
a stage. Actually, it is hard thing. Especially, the case which a person has
sworn never give up absolutely to myself like me. It is good or not, heaven
chose the movie for me. I appreciate heaven. And I appreciate myself.
Because, now if I look back upon these 25 years, I can say to myself that "I
fought without giving up." Although I also loved the female, I had got
intense love a little bit until I met her ( Mireille ) who is living
together with me now. I also have a son. Being as Alain Delon's son is a
difficult thing. However, I wish it becomes the highest thing. I had another
life when I was 16 years old. I was not Alain Delon's son. But being as my
son is only Anthony's problem. Future is pleasure about how he will make use
of it. But when returning to this problem which is what is the star, what
can I still say." The world and people need the star. The dream
is needed. It sets in any field and in any time. And also when peaceful
time, also when wartime. It is everywhere. Therefore it means that if I was
able to give a dream through my "role" and the work of an actor, I had never
made time useless. The dream is required anywhere. A dream increases
similarly to the number of stars. If there is no star in a movie or in a
street even in an imagination or realities, there is only a darkness. Just
now I ask him whether a manuscript is OK or not. Delon answers " Exact ".
" You understand the thing which I wanted to say well." "It is just a tragedy
if I didn't understand the thing which you want to say through this
association for long years. I only condensed what you said no less than 100
times and more. Do you think that these contents are too loose ?" "No, you
have understood well." "It was not an easy work. I wrote with my heart in my
mouth." Delon and I watch the television. He is gazing Rocard who has
broadcasted. "Are you watching the television while what do you consider
except a political thing ?" I ask him. " Rocard is lackluster. And I think
that he should not be elected. He doesn't have appropriate eyes, and he
understands neither an expression nor a gesture that how should he do by
himself. He is completely narrow person. The screen is empty, isn't it ? "
" Whom is the man with sufficient television projection for you ? " " Giscard
is very good. Mitterand is too. But I think that the best man is Chirac for
me. He can fill a screen. He has the good voice, seemly features and smiles.
The straight tightened eyes. His only fault is a point of stooping
everything." "Did you look at the confrontation of Kennedy and Nixon ?"
"Yes, although Nixon has beaten Kennedy in the contents of the speech, after
all Kennedy was superior to Nixon in a charm." "There is also the
confrontation of Carter and Reagan. It is decided that the former actor
wins." "No, it is not necessarily so. I think that Reagan was a poor actor.
If he would perform, he would fail. We discussed relaxedly in fire in this
way. I say that "If you got marry with Mimi, I will become the witness." "It
could already be managed 12 years ago ?" "It is not settled with a true
meaning. " " Perhaps I might order the role to you. " And he becomes silent.
While stroking Manu gently. He likes the race that is divine and precious
like him. - Jean Cau ( in 1980 ) -

experience. If I tried to think, the reason what I succeeded as a
professional might be the memory in those days."

Kiki is Alain Delon and cohabiting
Catherine Bleynie in France and Switzerland for nearly two years. Catherine
is beautiful, with blond hair, and bright. She continues being herself and
she keeps two balance without being overwhelmed in his character that is a
super star. New work of Alain " Parole de Flic " of the director Jose
Pinheiro are given to Catherine who known as Kiki. " I decided to give this
movie to her who drew totally different Delon until used to be. " he says.
Apart from crowd and rumor, he invited me to lunch to his residence in
Douchy Loiret prefecture. Before beginning a talk of " Parole de Flic ", he
chooses champagne and moves busily around the huge fireplace of the dining
of the wonderful structure which is opened toward to one direction that a
swimming pool when it is at night, the dining is glassed in three directions
which faced the yard. He stirs firewood and burns the rib of thick beef. His
land is nearly 55 hectares, and approximately six houses are gathered around
a wooden white main house ( It is provided with an indoor swimming pool, an
electronic game room, projection booth, a big cookhouse ) in the
circumference of the pond among forests. It is put so that a lot of speakers
are not outstanding here and there, and a rock and violin music play. We
talk about his favorite " people " who appears for the interview in next
page of this Paris Match. He seems to enjoy the part of chief editor of the
article about this his favorite " people ". " It is this that I want to
write to princess Caroline....Please ask Eddy Michel and my friend Prost
about this....About Geraldine Danon of my charges child, it is enough just
to let her merely talk....Then, it will impress the professor Salat-Baroux
by the meaty story of contents..." and so on. The service continues. This
actor seems to be King. Champagne gets cold well, and the sun throws various
shadows in Douchy. Catherine brings terrine, salad and cheese as the last. A
framboisier ( a cake ) which he bought in Douchy village. The
laughter. Without reproachful remark, I really think that God may revivify
own experience above the ground. Because God produced such couples in such
Garden of Eden. And we talk about " Parole de Flic ". When the movie was
planned in August, 1984, Alain did a muscular workout in Geneva. The filming
was carried out at the beginning of this year in April from February. The
beginning was Congo ( Kiki accompanied him ), next in Lyon where was cold of
the winter of this year in particular was severe, and it was in the studio
of Epinay which set one district in Lyon called Les Magrettes in the last. (
The reason is because the Mayor of Lyon did not admit on-site filming ) In
June, Alain who affected 100% filmmaking taped the theme song of this movie
called " I don't know " with Phyllis Nelson and the movie was completed in
the middle of JULY. Brakes from censorship work suddenly. And four seconds
of the advertising of the movie were cut concerning prohibition in 13 years
old or less. In addition, the movie in itself might be prohibited to under
18 years old, too. Jack Lang postponed this advice wisely.
The movie " Parole de Flic " was exhibited in the 120
cities of sea bathing place where was taken the initiative rather than Paris
or other big city in middle August and the reputation spread out by word of
mouth. Delon with curiosity went to the movie with Catherine incognito at
the first evening when the movie was exhibited in Deauville. And he was
going to rank with the general line, after all he was noticed and was guided
to the seat ( auditorium ). After the movie finished, the spectator extolled
and the announcement of showing once again was flowed. After that, he had a
dinner at restaurant "Normandy" and the waiter chief of the restaurant
placed a telephone on the table, and the number of spectator mobilization in
the 120 cities was told to Alain by every minute.
20,000 people entered by the first
screening. All has begun to move. It should go well in Paris. Delon who did
not avoid risk always played even the big ten waterfalls that appeared for
the movie. Because these were true waterfalls, when Delon who jumped into
the Rhone which froze clung to a tree trunk in the middle of filming. The
participants thought whether it really demanded help not a performance. In
addition, in the scene where he played a clown in front of the children, he
told to show a clown in Pinder circus theater to a genuine kindergarteners
and filmed. The spectator who watched a clown was not informed that the
clown Auguste was Alain at all. I remember that he went up the stage while
he said " Good evening a good child. Were you an angel today ? Is there the
liar ? "
The clown Alain drops the nose of the
artifact more than ten times, he can not attach the cuff of the sleeve, he
raises a colorful suspender many times, he was going to urged to kiss the
small girl who cried " Stop it, stop it, I am not a liar. " while he was
choked to the broken collar. In the last of the show, Alain does the finals
parade of the circus. And he take a wig and the nose of the artifact.
Everybody understood he was Delon. Delon was gotten to surprise us. Blood
flowed from his thumb behind the scenes. He was hurt in the middle of the
show. He smoked a familiar small size cigar. While engineers spread the rail
of the action shot device for the next show, he totally asked me like the
egg of the actor after the audition. He who has the carrier of 20 years and
took 72 movies, asked me. " She was not able to come here this morning. Do
you think that she will please this scene ? " Of course, she is Kiki.
Because this movie was made for her. – information

( About a sparrow was called "Peewee" ) In Douchy in
1999, Rosalie brought a sparrow whose leg was injured, to veterinarian. When
the bread dipped in water was given to the bird a suck by a suck,
miraculously the bird regained energy again. When the leg became good,
Peewee had already become a family's member. The bird has been kept in the
big basket in the kitchen, one day it came that I have to refer children
that we have to free Peewee. And four of us came outside together with the
bird. Everyone were bitter. When Rosalie said that "Good-Bye Peewee", the
bird flew to the direction of a pond. We had stood around foolishly, then we
went into the house. And I came outside in the evening without being
deliberately too much. Just after when Rosalie called "Peewee Peewee", the
bird appeared suddenly. The bird has returned to the place of itself the
kitchen. Rosalie thought that the bird was a father, and the bird finished
the duty of a day as a father, and returned to the kitchen. It is that the
bird has two houses. The bird disappeared to somewhere again in the end of
Summer in 2000, and we were depressed a little, but I underwent the
operation of my waist in Paris on October 6th, and
when I went back home by the ambulance on the 13th,
Peewee had returned. The bird has never gone anywhere since then. When
children have been to school, the bird has loneliness with me. It is a
wonderful thing for me. It was the person whom the role what I played in "Le
Samourai" , also had kept a bird. A certain evening in the photography
period, the studio of Melville in Rue Jenner 13th
divisions in Paris, encountered the fire. I rushed there, then when I
arrived there, Jean Pierre Melville wore pajamas and wore slippers on bare
his feet, was keeping standing at the catastrophe which his own studio and
his works were blazing up. The first word which he told me was that "Alain, it was
the bird of ours !" I sometimes considers that the existence of Peewee looks
like the sign of something. It is like the wink of Jean Pierre.

sanctuary which has around built the world suitable in the dream of the man
who got damaged. This place is just Alain's hiding place. Here, he dozes
with the two
Shiberian Husky which shows the attachment to him
unstintingly. In the aside, there are books and newspaper. However, the thing
which charms him are always the past. Now, he is rereading " Contre-attaques
( counterattack ) " which was written by Jean Cau who is Delon's friend.
Issue that time, this book was defined as " The manual of resistance and
freedom". Moreover, many photographs are watching him. His princess Romy
Schneider. The guardian of the movie world who is Edwige Feuillere. And the
general De Gaulle was reflected to a photograph in Ireland. The leader
of the army who is the commander Colmet and the general Lebed and his wife
what at that time of De Gaulle had never become 20 years old yet, were
reflected together with in this photograph. Besides, a rough drawing was
painted by Guyot and a painting was painted by Synders are hung on the wall.
Delon is just concealing on this place ( Douchy ) as the feudal lord of the
feudal age had shut himself in territory. ( from Paris Match September 15th
issue )
- The French title of " Julius Caesar I " is " Asterix aux jeux olympiques ".
-
This season that is full of the
light in the end of Summer, Delon showed us to his kingdom. It is impossible
to visit the all. In order to explore the secret place which overflows with
the surveillance cameras just surrounded by
the Great Wall
( the Chinese Wall )in this full vast
green, at least three days will be required. The house of many buildings,
the large yards, three pools, a chapel, woods, a big
lake, a heliport. In
fact, he is living only in two rooms of the main houses like the big hut of
Switzerland with a huge beam. There are a kitchen which 2~3 kilns as a
restaurant are built in, was stuck with the terracotta of Provence, and
living room ( size as if it was by three rooms ) which takes a nap with
three dogs every day. He has fed dogs exactly at 18:00. His dogs are not
only these three German shepherd. In addition, there are 6 ferocious
watch
dogs at night. These dogs are confined in the doghouse of the yard daytime.
Alain also consents to dementia being less unrelated for himself. Although
it is an well-known thing, he is misanthropic. And he is tired with being as
a famous man. It is said that it is because it was not completed at all that
he takes a walk in a town, he has a meal at a restaurant, he goes to see a
play as an ordinary person during 50 years. Probably, how many times he said
that if it is able to go to "Gallery Lafayette" leisurely.....
While he likes his fame, he is made sometimes exhausted. Therefore, he
associates with animals. He had put the tamed bird ( Peewee ) on the
shoulder for three years. Now, he is playing the actor for a crow with
imitating the cry of a crow. Recently, his daughter's dog Poeky of the name
of the Netherlands style died. The dog was buried with all families in the
graveyard for dogs in front of a Chapel. Rosalie came here together with
Anuchka and Alain-Fabien for the first time since it went away from here
three years ago. ( He never says her name. ) It is the moment that a heart
is torn. Now, it does not understand whether it cried for the death of the
dog or for this sad reunion. He was imagining growing old like the patriarch
surrounded by the whole family in this place. From now on, he is the
solitary king who comes and goes the inside of recollections. He owns
the fine-arts documents, the gorgeous auction catalogs and cassettes and 35
mm films of his own movies. Although all the walls of two rooms are covered
by his filmography but he does not look at them. If this spectacle is seen,
it turns out immediately that he is the important figure of the movie world.
Delon who is here and there among the world. Delon together with the
greatest persons. The seventh art seen through only one actor. Visconti,
Gabin, Ventura, Melville, Giovanni, Losey, Duvivier, Clement, Lancaster, Montand
and Signoret ..... He said with lowered voice that " They are my teachers
altogether. Only I am in being now alive." I will overlook his sorrow. If he
would be cheerfully and lively, it would not be Delon. It goes up to the
second floor. His soft bedroom seems to be the cocoon of an attic. Alain
Delon sleeps alone here, accompanied with a cat has 3 legs purrs around his
waist. This cat is Poupouss who had injured compound fracture at the parking
lot. Delon saved the cat from euthanasia by the doctor who is the authority
of brute surgery Bardet's power. How many women would want to be instead of
being Poupouss ! He does not do even a smile. "If there are no children and
if there is no stage not changing, I will feel that I would be alive in
another time and the another world. I understand very well that my those
word is being an old person's hard head. However, I truly looked at all
things and have got all." It seems as if that much wonderful encounter which
is full of his life makes him apathetic. He turns his thoughts toward his
friend Alain Belnardin who is also author of Crazy Horse. Belnardin
shot the bullet into his head, after drinking tea slowly with his wife Lova
Moor. Belnardin was an old hard head in the prospering business. He threw
the last glimpse to the empire which he built, and committed suicide. Delon
is waiting for the woman who gives the hope which continues being useful to
him. "If she does not come early....." ( from Paris Match

Delon has five cellphones. Two are

- ( Mireille's letter to Alain ) Returning from Cambodia, so with little
delay, I discovered your long interview for Paris Match. You say that "I am
dreaming about a woman together with me, but she is so delaying.". I felt
you are unhappy, like in some mornings for long time ago, when due to single
effort to open eyes, to watch a world you were becoming insupportable. Do
you remember ? In those mornings, you spat upon everything, and I replied on
calls instead of you, it was single thing that I could do to help you, to
protect you. I know every well that your sadness remount from your first
years, and it is impossible to heal from the sufferings of childhood
completely. Evenings, when you became better a little and got a wish to
speak, I always repeated to you the same words "My love don't dramatize, you
are here, Anthony is a treasure, a life is great, all people like you, you
succeed and you are beautiful, sensible, clever, courageous.....". Today I
am seeking other words to reanimate you, even so, I have a wish to repeat
you that your children are treasures, and they still need you for growing. I
am seeking other words, because years passed, and when person becomes older
he learns to memorize only essential things. After your children an
essential thing is that your talent is intact, Alain, it is intact and
immense, recently you proofed it us in theatre. Another essential thing is
that you arouse admiration and affection in the hearts of millions of people
in the entire world. You merit those both because in defiance to your
suffering, you never weakened, you never complained. I saw you traversed a
life frivolously and definitively, but also proudly and magnificently before
this solitude, what about you always say, didn't correlate on you like a
prison. Actually, anywhere where you appear, people hasten to applaud you,
to say how they love you, how precious you are for us. However, when a
festival comes to end, you feel alone, environed by your dogs. This is the
first time since we know each other and love each other I guess you kneeled,
and I know that you deadly suffer due to that. Sometimes a life is
insupportably cruel, we both know about it, but we also know that it has a
marvelous power of restoration. A life is like you a little, namely there
are some dolorous mornings, but so tender and consolatory evenings. I want
to say you that it worthy of that we try to forget our sadness, our wounds,
our mourning to continue a travel ( wandering trip ). This woman, about whom
you are dreaming, she is somewhere at train. In one day, you meet her and I
know that you will recognize her at once. Give to yourself a chance to meet
her, Throw your solitude away, and return to us, to the fever of big cities
where it seems that people meet each other without seeing each other, but
where a life is reconstructing indefatigably. I am already dreaming to see
you in love, to hear your laugh, to see you returning to the conquest of the
world. And don't say me that your heart is too old, or too fatigue, or.....
You know and I know that your heart is solid. A heart is like soul, and If
one sun ray appears it feels better immediately. Go to your light, I am with
you. - Mireille -

- When Delon came to photo studio, half hour later than Mireille, an
atmosphere has metamorphosed. An electrical wave, heat, something between
tension and jubilation. Young assistants are under an impression a little
and become more active. Cameras clack, photographing these meetings, which
are full of sympathy. Delon is as much bronzed and athletic as Mireille is
pale and slim. Delon is as much vociferous as Mireille is discreet. They
reform without an will an ideal couple, where one exalts another. The makeup
is not necessary, only a little of powder. They watch again a photo which
was on
the cover of Paris Match for long time ago and catch a hint of today's
photo. They have instinctive according and play a playing. They exchange a
telephone number on their cell phones and then, they insensibly call to one
friend, they verify an effect in a looks of each other. She asks him about
his dogs and he asks her about her new house. They know each other by heart.

" My
chapel is the place of meditation. I will sleep
there. I wish to be buried beside the graveyard of 35 dogs there. The grave
has already dug." - Alain Delon - ( from Paris Match
September 15th in 2005 issue )
-
Delon told as follows about separation with Rosalie in
2003, "I gave Rosalie the highest present in this world a woman gets it from
a man. It is free. In fact, we separated at the beginning of the summer of
2002."
-
Delon was chosen as an image of " Patrouille
de France " in 1988. The Manly flight with the soldiers was a dream since his
young time has come true at 52 years old. In order to ride on an Alph Jet,
you have to take severe " Ejection seat proper examination" of the
acceleration of 16 G. He who received the notice of success in Salon-de-Provence
rode on a plane of Velluz who is the leader of Patrouille. He also left us
accomplishment as well as realization of a dream. Feeling during a flight is
always beyond imagination. An illusion which becomes that it is likely to be
crushed by acceleration is non-describable at all in language. You have to
experience. In order to tell us a situation on a plane, Delon installed the
camera on the instrument panel before his eyes, and released the shutter at
the thrilling moment. While 30 minutes being continued by stimulating an
acrobatic flight, and two somersaults and one-time horizontal rotation,
eight airplanes moved at intervals of tight 1.5 m mutually. It seems that
Delon has been completely charmed by Patrouille de France.
-
Rosalie had been studied law before
becoming a model. Especially international organizations like UNO. So she
had planed to work in such organization in international law domain. (

Alain and Mireille will play a stage
at Marigny in Paris. The playing starts in January 2007. The original title
of this stage is "The bridges of Madison County". ( There is a film with
Clint East Wood and Meryl Streep shot in 1995 with the same title. ) The
French title is "Sur la route de Madison". Mireille said about their future
stage on 22th Dec Thursday in 2005 on Radio Channel
Europe-1. ( Information by Miss. Karina and Mr. Vignol )
-
Delon was in Maurice Island ( which is about 20 minutes
from Reunion Island by plane ) with Anouchka and Alain-Fabien on 30th
July 2004.They had a dinner at the restaurant of
Grand-Baie which
is one of the most beautiful place of the Island. Two hours after they left
from there, a big explosion destroyed the restaurant and killed two people.
Two days after, Alain Delon attended the funeral of the young couple who
died at the restaurant. ( Information by Mr. Vignol )
-
It seems that an actress Annette Stroyberg who had a
love affair with Delon in the 1960s, died on the 14th
Dec 2005. She was 67 years old and had been married with Roger Vasim.
According to her autobiography "Les Liaisons Scandaleuses" 2004 editions du
Pre aux Clercs , Alain Delon, Brigitte Bardot and Robert Hossein wrote in
the preface of it that "she had been "the beauty on the earth and the
prettiest woman in the 1960s." ( Information by Mr. Vignol )
-
Delon
confided the separation from Rosalie Van Breemen in an interview with Paris
Match. 15 years of the cohabitation life and two children. ( Anouchka 12
years old and Alain-Fabien 8 years old ) "All has been exploded." The reason
of the only catastrophe which was able to hear from him is only an age
difference. "I think that the difference in a generation is great. It
is the difference of 32 years old. Probably Rosalie who offered her youth to
me at the age of 20 wants to regain a life as the collateral now." 8 months
after the separation. Delon is spending coming and going between at his
residence of Douchy in Loiret prefecture and at his house near Lake Leman in
Geneva. Although he acquired the nationality of Switzerland, Rosalie didn't
do it. As people from Switzerland, he has to spend among a half year in
Switzerland for social position regulation. On the other hand, Rosalie
returned to her family in Netherlands so that it may cure disappointment.
Since she also acquired the parental authority of Anouchka and Alain-Fabien,
they also go to school in Netherlands. Their encounter ascends in 1987. It
was the beginning of earnest love that he fell in love with Rosalie at first
sight when she was 21 years old.
-
( from Le Figaro March 1986 ) Pierre Laforet who is our
correspondent, accompanied the triumphal return travel of the superstar
Alain Delon, until it reaches Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka and Kyoto. He told us
the life, a new sweetheart and a political opinion. Alain Delon whom we
struck to Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, Kyoto etc, was just a living human deity in
Japan. When he visited to Hiroshima, the grass ( keep out ) carefully taken
care of on the side on which he offers the flower crown on the bomb victim's
cenotaph, was intruded by enthusiastic Japanese and it has been made messy.
In Tokyo, about 3000 persons who are housewives gathered in order to have a
look at him. They formed like a psychoanalyst the meeting which hears a
trouble of the corporate presidents and officers even till a morning, and
have received about 3500~4500 francs at time. Delon says that " Japanese
women have the room exactly. They don't complain about the position relation
between a male and the opposite sex, and satisfied with it. A Japanese woman
doesn't try to imitate a male in appearance. They don't compare. Now, in
Europe, the women wear trousers. The male had been boasted their long hair
until only recently. It is completely meaningless." "Although there is an
image of the slave that a Japanese woman is obedient from a childhood, and
must be taken off people's shoes or must respond people's caprice in France,
it is ridiculous. A Japanese woman lives such, being raised such comes from
custom, and they are born as a female the same as we are born as a male.
Their pride is not damaged at all." - Le Figaro "I think that it is a
serious thing to live as an woman on the side of the star Alain Delon. Your
sweetheart Catherine was introduced as your partner in life for the first
time overseas. What kind of reaction does she show it ? " Alain Delon
- " I think that it is a very serious thing surely to live with Alain Delon
unlike living with other men. But Catherine is holding all by herself. For a
woman, the difficulty of living with Alain Delon is not gazing, admiring and
evaluating him. It is in the realistic function which the partner is a star.
The problem which have to adapt the partner arises. I wish that want to
share frenzy, joy, excitement and trouble with her. Therefore, if I can't
take communication with her, it is meaningless even if here is an woman
beside me together. I move to another place. A crack arises in my life. I
can live only in this way." Le Figaro - "It was impressive that
you took her hand and had put your head on her shoulder in the airplane.
Although I was impressed by your love to her, is this a turning point for
you ? " Alain Delon - "I don't like the word 'turning point'. Because I
don't know whether I could use a turning point well unless it comes out.
What turning point is it ? Life ? Or work ? I don't worry about work.
However, I don't very want to talk about private life. On the other hand,
there are two important wishes. The first of them, I don't want to finish
life only alone. I want to make a living with my partner. The second, if it
is not too late, I want a child and a grandchild. I want to build the home
which has never been obtained until now at the bottom of my heart. A turning
point ? It is not such a thing. It is a consciousness only. Although I have
been understanding from before all the time. I spoke about it for the first
time today. Because maybe I am in Japan too far from France. " Le
Figaro - " Do you always know what kind of person you are ? " Alain Delon -
"Although I am not moderate, I am not always necessarily so. My vitality is
sagacity. I know that what kind of person am I, what am I thought of from
people, what kind of value I have. Probably, those who can pass fortunate
life are only foolish or innocence. If a person is wise and perfectionist,
the person usually analyzes about humanism or life. The more a person
understands it, the more the person analyzes it. And a person suffers.
Although perfection and absoluteness are the purpose of my life and I have
never reached there yet, if I search such things, sagacity will call
disappointment. I also experienced it repeatedly. But now I don't worry
about it." Le Figaro - " Strangely you need to live even in here
Japan or Paris near people who support you overwhelmingly. Although the wall
which separates you exists simultaneously." Alain Delon - "In
the case of Alain Delon, it is very complicated. I have a strong thought of
waiting to bring tenderness, love and joy. But I have to be able to separate
one Delon from another one Delon. They are my own image and my image by
others. In Japan, I am worshipped like God. People are very pleased by
touching me, stroking my hand, kissing my finger. As if it was able to touch
Pope's hand, kiss his ring by clearing the big barrier. They think that I
lead to the person in another world. Look up the top from the bottom. If it
needs, they try to kiss my leg. They don't understand that the hand which
they are going to kiss is the same as the hand of a man is not different
from theirs. This God is only a white man and is not yellow people. And he
also has a trouble, cares, fault and he is going to bury a defect. "
( Alain with Kiki )
- April in 1977, Delon 5th visited to Japan,
went to the night club "Latin Quarter" with incognito in Akasaka Tokyo.
- Delon obtained 16th
"German Entertainment Prize" at Deutscher Theater in Munich on 26th
January 2006. (
Information by Miss. Petra and Miss. Karina ) You can watch the look
of this award ceremony on the next site.

from Miss. Petra )
- It seems that Delon will be invited "The Opera Bal" in Budapest Hungary
as the guest star on 25th February 2006. 2000 people
will be invited, 56 musicians, 60 dancers, 11 opera singers. The Bal will be
decorated by 30,000 flowers. There will be 1000 bottles of champagne, 50
cooks. And 2,000,000 people will watch this party on TV. 4 years ago,
Catherine Deneuve was the guest star of this party. The price for one ticket
is 290 Euros, with dinner is 580 Euros. The address for buying tickets is
www.operabal.com
. ( Information from Mr. Vignol and Miss. Petra )
- Delon takes
sleep only for 6 hours. Work starts simultaneously with
breakfast. Calling with a work friend, scenario reading, check of a business
report and writing a movie. And he always hears people's talk carefully. He
convinces that tolerance is power. He is offering a large amount of support
not only to his profits but also to the movie. If there were no money
support and performance of his, there were many movies which were not made.
However, he never regrets of having made the movie from his pocket money. He
is such a human being. He does not lose loyalty in failure and also in a
success. If it totals, profits will increase after all. He is spending the
weekend in Douchy moved from the life of Paris, with taking a walk with
dogs, watching remodeling construction of a house, or watching a movie. He
often has a meal together with the laborers who came to his house. One of
them says, "He speaks about anything except for a movie ! He likes hearing
that we every person talks about his occupation. For example, how did we
master work..... He becomes absorbed in anything. He is very simple and
friendly. In front of him, everyone become the feeling relaxed without
constraint immediately." If a friend comes, Alain Delon will serves up the
usual dishes he cooked. What is equal to him about cutting or cooking the
rib of a cow is not. He doesn't not much invite someone. He is not
interested in polite society at all. It is tedious fearfully for him that he
participates in the dinner what the target of interest is myself.
- They thought that they would spend ordinarily like a free sweetheart.
But the dream didn't continue for a long time. A certain Italian who is
early riser, has asked for the autograph. shortly after turning out to be
them. Alain's expression was shut. And he brought Mireille to the hotel
Danieli at a trot. The boat for an airport was waiting for them together
with the load there. Again, the dream which taking a walk only two persons
in a dream's Venice and old Venice was torn. As for what they saw together,
was only the location spot of "I'Homme presse" they played together. This
movie is as the costarring of the 4th work of them.
Mireille says, "Although Alain doesn't co-star with me to the present
sequence, he is always behind a camera, he aids me by the eyes, and gives me
advice. The thing which can escape his eyes has nothing. They always have
been together since they met in "Jeff". At that time, Alain confused
mentally because of an affair Markovic. The partner who can trust and always
can hear confidence was required for him. Mireille was suitable as a free
woman and was alive alone. At the mercy of charmed by him, I took on a role
of his listener, after that the two persons were beginning to live at the
big apartment at Francois 1 er. It is said that there
is no necessity that they make this relation formal. Alain is still the
marriage state with Nathalie who is Anthony's mother. They built secret and
continuous happiness what love and respect exist by the same specific
gravity, without decorating. Alain became fortunate like for the first time
preparing a dog food, the time of polishing the handgun. In spite of being
young, an elder Alain protects favorite persons, occasionally rules over,
and always vacates the table for them. However, also indiscreet action and
absurd utterance make him silence for an week. Alain doesn't yield himself
and others. At such time, that sweet Delon becomes hard like the lump of
marble. For Mireille, Alain isn't a superstar. However, "He is a man who has
a little weakness and many strong points." "He has never promised that he
loves me throughout life. And I have never asked him that I make him to be
promised loyalty forever. An important thing is growing older pleasantly on
his side, without having uneasiness. A door is opened to him and me. I think
that it is great that he shuts the door for us every night."
- That was the island in the Caribbean Sea which received a solar light
brilliantly Columbus landed at the twilight of the day of autumn once. One
couple closed the eye calmly has lain down on the
terrace which overlooks
the Pacific Ocean at the pool side. They don't need to see each eyes
for staring and also to talk with each other for understanding any longer.
And also they don't need to stay together for staying with two persons.
However, Mireille Darc and Alain Delon had promised that to take the
vacation which it is neither a telephone nor a friend nor worries with only
two persons from ten years before. There is nothing except them. Only a
white house, a beach and the sea. They came there just after the photography
of very serious " Le Toubib ". They don't forget the small island in this
Caribbean Sea. One of the most beautiful apartment in
Paris. Mireille Darc told about the vacation in the Caribbean Sea, with
jeans, T-shirt and sneaker, at the terrace which tropical olant was planted,
overlooking the Seine of Orsay riverbank. " The island in the
Caribbean Sea which I went to was just Heaven. I think that it is a stupid
thing to apply this language which has been used too much by guidebook or
the tourist without imaginative power. But a language does not appear on me
other than the word Heaven." " There is the sea which does not resemble
closely even if it resembles the sea in Europe. Please imagine a thing like
the huge lake at the beach of fine white sand which can not believe, has
deep layer, has transparent water I have never saw, stands." "On the
other hand, when it goes up on the land, all colors dazzle my eyes. Purple,
vivid red and yellow which shines. The whole island seems to be an
extraordinary huge bouquet." " I stayed the dreamlike 15 days there. Although
the period of 15 days was never long, it was still enough in order to save
recollections for winter." Mireille becomes silent and turns her eyes to be
gray the Seine. She seems to be absent-minded. I asked her what kind of
things have you done in the Caribbean Sea which can go around it by half day
neither telephone nor a neighbor. " It is an ideal to do nothing and it is
perfect happiness. It likes on a beach and time passes without doing
anything. But as for Alain, it is impossible thing. Alain is the person who
can't do nothing 30 minutes or more. If he rises, moves and has not done anything,
he will not be satisfactory." "As for me, I followed all which the pool
which he dives into suddenly and dives down, the beach he runs to the extent
of getting out of breath, the boat which goes to another islands."
"Something which can stop him don't exist. Even the lukewarm tornado which
sometimes attacks an island with terrible violence." "
It was
really great vacation. Maybe, since it was short vacation, I might feel so.
Actually, we don't have the character which can be satisfied with long
vacation. I like doing nothing. But I will get tired immediately. And Alain
is the person who can't make a living without working. Work is vitamin
indispensable to his balance." "Although it is that I always say about
Alain, I think that it is not truly known by people exactly. He is not the
person whom the small polite society of faithless and trivial in Paris put a
label." " Alain is not transient, either he is not a cruel businessman,
either narcissist playboy and not a Star whom a hand doesn't reach. He is
very sure and sound and he is the simple person who puts weight on the sense
of value which is a little outworn which is house, home, loyalty, friendship
and respect of work partner. He is the man who should have lived in the
another time, who is elder." "I think that you can understand that not
resembling closely, even if resembles his image which those who don't know
him not much well, produced." She has already talked about Alain, only about
Alain. I tell her about that, then she says me that "However, what should I
say you ? My life is his life." " I am often asked that why don't you cling
your career ? The answer is the only thing which my career is indifferent. I
want to always open the door for him." "It is not necessarily subordinate.
Because I am happy by I freely choose to live so and I do so." "But, please
don't misunderstand. Since I am completely the opposite poles with the woman
who does nothing. Because I have done all things which are giving advice,
plan preparation, management, housekeeping and taking care of flower and
tree." " The actual life is not a movie, either not business, is a
thing like housekeeping or gardening for him and for me. Therefore, the
person who is doing the most important thing is me after all. ( We don't
quite talk about a movie at home. )" "For me, a more important thing is
not where do I live, together with whom to live. Although I have lived with
Alain for 11 years, since I first met him, I thought that I could live even
anywhere and how with him." ( information from Jours de France N

- ( Alain Delon Speech at DIVA 2006 on 26th January
2006 ) " Dear. Minister, dear. guests, loves Sophie, thank
you for the marvelous receipt which goes to me much to heart. To heart !
Because thereby my life's work is appreciated. If there would be two things
in the world, into which I am proud very much, they are my children and my
career. I always regarded these occupations as the most beautiful things in
the world and dedicated these occupations to my life, these were my passion,
also for the public, which always rendered me all honor. Therefore I am
particularly lucky and proud this appreciation of my life's work to have
received today. In addition, it gives still a few other words which I would
like to say today and I am surely, these words will find here with
particularly good echo. Completely at the beginning of my career I met a
real DIVA, a STAR ! She was only 20 years old. Her name was Rosemarie
Albach-Retty better admits than Romy Schneider ! She was 20 years old at
that time and we loved each other passionately, how people does it with 20.
We loved ourselves in Rome, in Paris, in Berlin, in Munich and in Bavaria is
called Marienground here in Bavaria and then she made me also a star here
and she often left and I remained. Today Romy was 68 years old and I would
be completely particularly 70 years old. And so I would like dedicate this
DIVA to her, for her very specially ! For you, my little doll .....! "

- There was a contest for the "Best letter to Delon" organized by Russian
paper in Russia in October 2005. And the winner was a woman from Siberia. Of
course, Delon didn't read those letters from Russian women and also he
didn't choose the winner by himself. Then the Russian journalist brought the
winner to Paris and they could meet Delon at "Retrospective Paris in cinema"
in Paris on 28th February. ( Information by Miss.
Julia and others )
-
It seems that Delon thinks that If
there would be a performance request to a movie from Besson, Leconte and
Spielberg, he would have to consider it.
-
Delon seems understands Dutch only a
little. And Anouchka and Alain-Fabien are bilingual of French and Dutch.
-
Rosalie has watched the all Delon's
work. And her favorite works are " Le professeur " and "Mr. Klein". Because he
who is playing these roles is shocking for me.

( from Paris Match interview in 2000
) PM : Weekly "Newsweek" chose Tony Blair as the man of the year. What
do you think about that ? AD : I dislike United Kingdom to tell the
truth. This country is always going to be distinguished from Europe. While
every country is doing right-hand traffic, British people are left-hand
traffic. When every country changes time, as for them, there is one hour
time difference. Thus, it is not necessarily a clever proof to emphasize to
differ from others. Is Tony Blair the man of the year ? I have always been
being " the man of something ". Did he do something special ? It is the
important thing for me that the thing which he leaves after 20 years.

Delon got a honorific prize is
called "Big Medal of Vermeil of Paris city" from Paris Mayor Bertrand

very sensitive like me. And Anouchka would be a very good actress but now
she seems would like to be a journalist." And also Delon told that "I have
regretted the relationship with Mireille was finished by my fault." This information seems is inserted the newest Paris Match
( No.2964 9th March 2006 ). (

Mireille Darc seems was awarded "Legion d'honneur" decoration from French
president Mr. Chirac on 17th March 2006 ( Friday ) in
Paris. And her husband and Alain Delon were there to attend the ceremony. (

Rosalie and Alain didn't do promising love mutually in the form of marriage.
Before, he was telling as follows, "I don't want to do what is divorced just
after putting a ring on a female finger. Therefore I am seeing the situation
for a while. Because I want to make it a lifetime marriage." He has lived in
the interval of the solitude and the massive love. It loves with passion and
is loved by passion. It would be that this is the motive power of this man
who is solitary, pessimistic and is got damaged easily hidden in the reverse
side of his severe face ? An woman always loved his charisma and the woman
has accepted his "supreme right" and his charm which attracts other person,
and to the extent that it's not believed. "I have been sure of my some
influence to the woman rather than the man. If it is an woman, it will be to
the woman who is any age." Women have also treated skillfully freedom
required in order that he may live. "I had always been independent.
Independence and freedom need high expense." There was a short romance. Nico
who was a model, singer and songwriter. Anne Parillaud who was 23 years old
young actress. Catherine Bleynie who was former wife of Didier Pironi who
was racing driver. And also before Rosalie, three women have held this
star's heart. Go without saying, Romy Schneider. A magazine reported on 22nd
March 1959, "Young women's dream has been severed. Alain Delon was engaged."
The "eternal" fiance which continued for 5 years. A word was not emitted
from his mouth which threw the pebble at the window of her room in order to
apply marriage at a certain evening. Romy already has realized I will not
succeed with him after that Nathalie Canovas who was 22 years old has held
Alain's heart in 1964. "I was not the woman whom I was not the mother whom a
man like him needs, either I would cook and would mend his socks and would
wait for his returning. I am an actress and wanted to work. I was jealous of
his success." But the relationship of Romy and Alain was respected forever.
He continued keeping the friendship to her, faithfulness and love. 10 years
after "La Piscine", she is telling as follows, "It's due to thanks to Alain
that I have been successful. I can never forget that he made it me." He
marries the best friend called Nathalie in 1964. Pascal Jardion tells, "He
found the another himself." Nathalie bore a child called Anthony. Their life
for 2 years is summarized by the word of "Having love each other, so that it
trembles with joy, although it was large quarrels in the midst of
honeymoon." Immediately, she builds her life and she is driven by thought of
wanting to succeed on a movie. "It tied us up and also it separated us." One
month before release of " Samourai " in 1967, Alain offered divorce. The
one year ago, he has revealed to Dean Martin as follows, "The person who is
my wife must not step into a studio. I have thought that both of husband and
wife are being star regard as the end of husband and wife." However, after
that, he will follow with an excellent actress Mireille Darc for during 15
years. She says that "When I met him for the first time, I thought that I
could make a living even to how with him anywhere. " "It is well common that
a live keeps with real him not understood. He is the person who does not
open his heart, if the time does not pass. He is just like the mountain
which I can't approach at all, although it is visible to near." They
followed with taking each other's hand the good thing and bad thing. They
followed with what Mireille found out within Alain "An outdated sense of
values "...... " A home, a family, sincerity, friendship, the respect
heart....." " Alain may be the person who should live in the different time.
He is a real elder." However, the catastrophe visited for the couple in
1983. He is telling about this affair as follows, "There is a thing
called a stage in a private life. I want to use the word " change " rather
than the word mistake. The born love grows, changes, reaches to a top term
and finishes. Even if it does not fade away completely. And it is rapid that
love cools down for "scorpion" which is my constellation always. "

Marseille 1980s - photo from Mr. Philippe Barbier - )

It is said that the reason what Alain was charmed by
Catherine is her simplicity and innocence. She does never say "yes" to the
everything. However, she can simply describe her own opinion so that it
doesn't make a complication. Moreover, she likes a horse as well as Alain.
Recently, they passed the weekend at the horse
pasture which the friend in Deauville manages. His Thoroughbred, Adrien, Lira, Adieu Francois are
spending their retirement there. Catherine was surprised also at the
brilliant stallion which is called Aluvia which Alain owns in part as a
co-owner. Besides, she was satisfied with the beauty of a wild
Thoroughbred's pony together with Alain. They have a common taste to the
beautiful healthy thing like pure of common impression, an animal or a race.
Catherine held the party on the birthday of Alain on 8th
November in 1984 with only two persons. Simplicity is the first.
Alain Delon is not complicated human being. He has a little going out and
also avoids polite society. His life is evolved by two places, the
countryside of Douchy of Paris suburbs and Adel Productions which he plays
an active part as a star and a businessman, but in order to shut himself in
his favorite countryside and to live there now, the apartment along the
Seine is seldom no longer used. He has spent much time and energy also on
the perfume enterprise. Most overseas business trips of his are for this. Recently,
he went to the United States and visited big cities, such as Los Angeles,
New York, Chicago and San Francisco. The executives of an American company
say that "It is the person to which he symbolizes a global success of
France." To be sure, that is right. Although he maintains the France-sense
of values, he does U.S. style business. Although he moves forward
ambitiously, however generously, he does not lose faithfulness. He who likes
good work is working loyalty-work with the same friends in the past several
years. To him, followers are unnecessary. However, worth of things is known
like him and only the talented people who can protect and who were filled to
volition are required. He discusses deployment of business with a work
friend, and looks over documents himself in Paris every day. It is the same
also to fans. He reads the fan letters by himself over long time in office.
He loves passion and a passionate life supremely and is alive in every day
which was substantial in the first place in reliance. While it is fair,
simple and faithfully. Probably, such his way of life mixed Catherine and
him. It is the man of one favorite person who appreciates useful joy that he
tastes the scent of autumn calmly or takes a walk in woods with her and dogs
for many hours before Delon is a star. He is not absent-minded. He forms a
plan meticulously in a city and does not make time useless there. He
assimilates into nature completely and listens to any natural trifling noise
in the countryside. Catherine is living with the man who is tender-hearted
the opposite this coldness. Alain Delon is alive like a wild animal
flickering continuously. Unless he is in his territory, he can not become
free. It is his truth.
( from CINE Tele Revue N 48 29th Nov 1984 )
- " I am the most fortunate woman in the world ! " " Before I met him, it
was the same as I didn't exist. Since he enters into my life, I became the
human being who maintained balance rather than before." " Till then, I
had never believed in love at first sight. But when I met him during
photography of 『
Jeff 』,
I noticed that I became crazy about him ardently. If I gazed at him for many
hours, I was thought that his beauty was noble-mined. I should just have
been there at his side. However, he brought me his strength, a view and
existence." When two persons are together, they are living calmly. It
is not interested in going out for pleasure at night any longer. They like
being at home, calling a friend and passing in the gorgeous apartment nearby
the Seine which Alain owns. ( Francois 1er ) " We like gathering with
a friend, forgetting noise and work, and passing a quiet evening." " I
don’t know jealousy. If it can do, I will not want to suffer from the
illness of this jealousy. Because I want to live fortunately. " "
Actually, I have already understood that it is not an easy thing that I love
a man like Alain. But it is enough I only think that I want to love for
loving!" " I was understood how we should get over the hard time by
two persons. Don't make a partner a thought with which he chokes. Don't
suspect. And put infinite trust in each other. We have built the life
according to these three foundations." " Surely, Alain has a difficult
character as everybody knows. But, it is easy to understand him. He who is
envied and begrudged by people needs to defend himself. And when someone
approaches him in fear, he also puts power into his eyebrows and touches
them maliciously. But if it begins to get to know him, it turns out that he
is one of the
kindest men in the world. " If it is going to talk Mireille about chasteness, she interrupts the talk and say that " chasteness
is the most important in her love." " It is not only a reason of since
only I love Alain. As for me, the word love is combined with the word
chasteness. I live only for him and I am alive with him. " "I am
faithful to love. When I am loving, other things become to be indifferent
things for me. I feel that I am connected with him with the power of the
whole body. And I like depending on him. Although we can not get married
among us, in a feeling, it is the same as we get married. The thing which
connect us are upwards rather than a formal marriage. Immediately, she added
as follows, "however, independence could not be lost either." And she
revealed that what is necessary is just to order that she may be followed
about the man whom she loves. "I am such human beings. It is not my cause !
" However, there is the subject which is unwilling to touch not much also
for Mireille. "It is great. I like a child. Also in order to ascertain
growth of a child and to make it happy, I want a child while before to be
older too much." I asked her without intention that "how is Alain thinking
about that ?" then, Mireille is gazing me straightly and answered me very
sincerely that "although I know Alain's answer, I can't answer it instead
him." I asked her that "what are you and Alain doing except about work and
friend ?" then, she taught me with that lovely smile that "we are going to
know each other better." When sometimes I enjoy a realization which I
am near Alain, Mireille wants to come to cry this incredible love to him to
all over the world. But immediately, she returns to the old proverb that it
is better to live quietly, in order to live fortunately. (

- ( The love letter which Rosalie Delon addressed to the little son ) Why
will be difficult that writing about an important person ? That may be
because of it is going to describe a indescribable thing by ordinary thing
which is called language. I am looking at that the son is sleeping under my
eyes. What does it dream by the age of 7 years old ? I have never dreamed
for years. I only look at that he lives. The most beautiful dream in my life
has come true. Then, enough. He asked me today that "Even if I become an
actor, could I become the pilot of helicopter ?" He went into photography
today and met his father on the movie. I was doing for him to have received
emergency measure on the bed of a hospital under my eyes several mere weeks
ago. A pale face, a cold hand. "He fell down from a height of 2 meters from
the direction of the head on pavement made of concrete." the school side had
said. And I thought by alone. Did I want to control fate possibly by bearing
little Alain for when I lost Alain by any chance ? However, since I wanted
to have controlled fate too much, did the gods of Olympia interfere me ?
Then, fear is produced. As if it seems feeling which life escapes from us.
But he is here now. All became the past thing. Two Delon's meeting
succeeded. I don't know that which Delon for whether to have been more glad.
A result will be known if I would watch the screen. My son does not have
Star's dignity. For him, it is only what is only photographed together with
papa. And he is sleeping on the bed now. By the age of 7 years old, and age
with many things still done after from now on, life is too pleasant. I think
that writing about an important person is difficult is because of a huge
thing called love is faced. Therefore, I may be better to become silent now
probably. ( from Paris Match N 2745 )
- I can't forget that the face of the lady of a tollgate when the
windowpane of a driver's seat falls. Suddenly, that blue eyes appeared in
her face. She noticed that who is he immediately. She was taken it napping
and she faltered. However, the person has already left. He is Alain Delon.
We have already been running the car towards central France for about 2
hours. Because for friendship and loyalty, he consented to attend a
presentation of medal in Montlu-con. When the most, it came out so, he left
his driver to Paris and he has grasped the handle himself today also. He
says that "If I drive a car, I will settle down. I like being absorbed in
meditation in the night also, with gazing at a toad alone." Alain Delon who
attached the emblem of his favorite Scuderria presented from Enzo Ferrari in
1960 in the driver's seat of 4 doors sedan, drives carefully. He fears the
truck which makes the road danger. "Even if very prudent, it is not very
prudent. I dislike unexpected death. I want to expect everything. I have
been very prudent since a navy." Alain Delon, 66 years old, 87 movies, the
career for 40 years. He has just returned from Japan and while having still
being in a jet lag condition, has just held the preview and press conference
in a row. It is because 65 million francs was invested in him who retired
the movie by TV 1 channel, for photography of TV series "Fabio Montale" 3 rd
story. Alain Delon says with laughing that "It is a failure, if an audience
rating can not be taken 40 %. It was as hard photography as there is no
former. I thought that I would like to stop it in one week. It is a fearful
photography rhythm. Since a photograph is taken on end and there is also no
spare time which I sit down. At first, although I was depressed for a while,
I persuaded myself after all that I could not give up on the way."
- Alain Delon calls Rosalie who is in Holland from the car. "Are you in the
kitchen ? Have you already picked up a child ? " From several months before,
they are living a life which goes up and down Paris, Holland, Geneva and
Douchy. It is because they decided that commuting their children to school
in Holland far from Paris. "Children are bilingual. They speak the
Netherlands language at home. If Anouchka asks me that
『
Why don't you speak the Netherlands
language ? 』I answer as follows that
『
I will not speak it absolutely
because it is too difficult and already too late for papa. 』Alain
Delon reveals worries in the car. "My worry is whether to be able to
ascertain growth of children. I am not afraid of my death. But I am afraid
of leaving them. I think that if children grow up earlier than my aging.
Because, it is the worst thing for a child to lose a father early too much.
And also I want to be a father, to be not grandfather. Even if I take a
child to school for the moment, there is not discomfort so much. Although my
daughter knows I am 66 years old, she does not understand what does it mean.
10 years after, when she becomes 21 years old and I become 76 years old, she
will understand that it is not the matter of only a number."
- He says to me, is going to go into the conference room of Montlu-con in
which invited 100 guests gathered, "Please look at, they will act as if I am
their family. Because, they have been known me for 40 years. But I have
never known them. I get really tired." The former police superintendent
Marcel Leclerc will award a decoration to Daniel Duglery who is a new mayor
and a great detective in a city Government building this evening. Alain
Delon is one of his faithful friends. Therefore he has been run no less than
300 km by car. In spite of being the gathering for the mayor, people's eyes
are nailing at him. "Oh, our Alain !", a certain woman shouts. After
wavering for a while, she comes to him to talk with. "Mr. Alain Delon, I
appreciate all the things that you brought to us." He makes a pose for a
photograph and autographs by which people come for a request. Many people
want to ask him very much that "Why it looks so more youthfully than age ?"
and "Why it looks much more gently than TV ? " It could be said that the
answer to the first question is his healthy management. He never overeats,
does not drink too much and does not do smoking either. He says wisely that
" Now, the Delon generation is mother or old woman." With appropriate for a
professional, he finds gentle word to every person. He has carried out the
responsibility which charms people. He who leaves Montlu-con on the next day
was relieved for his popularity in the place which Parisians called "The
hinterland in France". "Probably, they at least have a favorable impression
in Fabio Montale on 3rd January ! " ( information
from Paris Match N 2745 2002 )
- It is said that the
heroine of the movie " The Girl on a motocycle "
became the model of Fujiko Mine coming out to " Lupin the Third ".

Jane Birkin at the

-
TV series " Fabio Montale ", it seems that Delon had
struck his breast by this name Fabio. Because the name is recollected
Delon's father Fabien and also a son Alain-Fabien.The Sun Pierre cemetery
which the last scene of "Fabio Montale" was shot is the place which " Borsalino
& Co." was shot with Belmondo before. It seems that Delon likes the city
called Marseilles in which is a melting pot of culture, the immigration came
from here and there crushes. This photography was performed without a big
problem for 4 months in the area is called being dangerous. Delon first
co-starred with Alain-Fabien in this work. ( As for Delon, co-starring with
his child is the first time in whole his life until now. ) Delon stopped his
photography within 8 days for he would not be absent from the school for a
long time, it is not necessary makes to be done useless round-trip.It seems
that his biggest worries was "PaPa ! my part ( word ) " He seems was not
sure that it was memorized his part certainly. It seems that he told his
mother and his elder sister that "I will do become an actor like PaPa in the
future."
-
Alain Delon has always invited the woman as a co-actor.
Also that it results in a big change of their career who is Veronique Jannot
( Le toubib 1979 ),
Anne Parillaud ( Pour la peau d'un flic 1981 )By this
theater comeback, Alain Delon chose Astrid Veillon as the supporting actor
of "Les montagnes russes" which is the love play written by Eric Assous. Her
role is a young single and it is a setup of meeting with the married man who
stays in Paris by himself a certain evening of summer. We will likely see
Alain Delon's temptation person-side. Delon said to her that "It should
become a role which influences your lifetime." Astrid says that "I only
don't want to be disappointed him." At the theater Marigny, exercise starts
in September in Douchy during
summer. They are the relations which had
played together also before. They were " Fabio Montale " and a drama written by
Astrid "La salle de bains". By this drama, she showed Alain her ability.
When a producer Philippe Hersen sent the scenario " Jet coaster " to Alain,
Alain replied that "If a certain person may be made into supporting actor, I
will undertake." Although he made 84 films, his play is only 3 works. Those
supporting actors were Romy Schneider and Marie Bell. Astrid says that "It
is a present from heaven that he appointed me." ( from Paris
Match N 2884 September 2004 )
- It seems that originally the first cast " Le Cercle Rouge " has another
actors on roles. Delon ( Delon ), Belmondo ( Gian- Maria-Volonte ), Lino
Ventura ( Andre Bourvil ) and Paul Meurisse ( Yve Montand )
- information from Mr. Oleg -
- One day in 1984, Delon who was under photography "Notre Histoire" in
Annemasse called Catherine in Geneva suddenly. After resumption, they had a
dinner and after that they frequently come to meet. Delon presented her a
Bordeaux of 1952, 32 roses, lithograph, slot machine, the book about
pictures and picture frame for putting their picture on Catherine's birthday
of this year.
- Alain Delon who was made into the national service decoration
CHEVALIER
recipient by the President appeared in the hall with the mother Rosalie of
daughter Anouchka arrived three months ago. Alain Delon received the Legion
D'honneur decoration, staring to the President Mitterrand's eye with upright
posture. Jack Lang took the trouble to come here to attend this ceremony.
Raymond Barre also participated as the mark of friendship. And the mother
Rosalie of the daughter who becomes in three months. The two person's
existence which Alain Delon keeps whatever may happen. " Delon as a public
person is not only one person. I always have to take care for the peace and
happiness of the new life. It is the out of the question thing that Anouchka
and her mother are made the target of a curiosity. I wan to be us quietly at
places other than a movie. !" The misfire of the movie "Dancing Machine"
etc, recent Alain Delon has been made for adverse circumstances. His
loneliness is often compared to it of a Samurai. "I don't worry about a
loneliness. There are the people who like a busy place or the place in which
people are, on the other hand there is a person loves a loneliness like me."
Alain Delon had been reigned in the movie world for over 30 years. In the
meantime, he has gazed himself without being never self-satisfied. "I had
disliked my appearance for a long time. Because it seemed to be much feebly
and to be too pure. Its appearance was not suitable to its inside. I was
able to take to my appearance, after 『 La Piscine 』, and I had already become
33 years old at that time." He who says like this, is just a peaceful man
who won the respect from the nation. He talks toward the microphone of
France Inter. "I am the mental state of a pleasure. Because it is not the
thing what I asked to give me it, it is the thing what the President
personally nominated me. I think that it is very glad. This is the prize to
the 『service』 in the career which I have built in the French movie, no in
the history of the world movie. ( He winked while he is saying these
words.)" In addition, there is the heavy word "France" for him. France for
him is not only the 8th division of Paris in which the
producers who are of the Cannes Film Festival or the studio of Boulogne
gather. He considers of the soldiers gathered together for the war in
Arabia. If he was 20 years old now, did he go to the war ? "If I was called,
I would pack in 10 minutes and would go there. Because I applied to
Indo-China by myself. As for me, it is the natural righteousness that to
serve the nation with to be glad cheerfully." He is not acting just because
it is an actor. Alain Delon took the trouble to declare his patriotism. "The
army was the true school for me. I applied at the age of 17, and joined the
army at the age of 18. I studied a respect of order, a respect and a
courage, the respect of a superior official, a strictness and the love to
the mother country there until I came home at age of 22. It was a very
fortunate. I very liked the direct relation which was connected firmly, was
filled philanthropy. Probably if I didn't come out for the shocking movie
world like this, I had become a professional soldier. I had all the geniuses
as a noted soldier. And after that, I might be a great commander."
Alain Delon with a red decoration on a collar will hop busily and will
relieve the tiredness in Douchy where is his sanctuary. At there, he removes
star's armor and spends slowly with Anouchka, Rosalie, his dogs and himself.
( from Paris Match N 2180 on March 7th 1991 )
-
Delon felt apology to his son about having divorced
with Nathalie. It can not insure to marriage. I believed value of the
marriage for a child rather than a couple. I wanted to have the family life.
The parents of son Anthony are divorced, though he is only 4 years old. It
is slightly different in the case of me, but this failure is a failure.
When I think of Anthony, this divorce becomes the greatest only failure in
my life. I do not believe love. I only believe fevor. " In his private life, Delon inclined his heart to do as a father to his young son as possible in
spare moments from his busy filming. When he was in Paris, he went to meet
his son to Nathalie. And he called him anytime when he left Paris. Delon
answered to a certain journalist as follows. "Do you imagine what did he say
to me, in the other night ? He says that『
My
dad calls me when movies always begin on TV ! 』Delon
always held his son's photo in the location place. Delon thought that it was
good my son was not 12 years old about the divorce. If it would be so, I do
not hide what it is written in the journalism from him and also he would be
called his name by his friend at school. But he is still 5 years old so he
can not understand yet. He thinks that his dad works in the movie world."
- information from " Les mysteres Delon " -
- ( Alain and
Astronomical operation table ) Delon to whom the solar month
is the Scorpion, the rise month is the Balance Scales, has all the nobleness
for charming people. They are the strong magnetism of the Scorpion and the
charm of the Balance Scales. The portion of the Scorpion makes him the
desires which are hard to press down, such as the thirst of the power and
the self-assertion, and the possession. The person who is the Scorpion tends
to take a life tragically. And although the person who is the Scorpion plays
his mind which burns with passion, social ambition, love and thought, he
tends to continue protecting thoroughly the idea which came out from the
intellect. The person who is the Scorpion might be able to display the
ability of a redoubtable lawyer in the points which are to influence an
intellectual influence to the people, that "it is going to correct the
people's mistake." However the graveness of the Scorpion is eased by the
rise month is the Balance Scales, it gives him a kind of "lightness" which
is a sociality and the refined esprit. What an interest of the Scorpion's
person is a sex and death, on the other hand the Balance Scales' person's
one is the core of the love. Although if a person will regard an woman as a
rival, the romance will become a bitterer trial, the unrestricted love and
the human deep tolerance will change the cynical side of the Scorpion to a
lamb. The Scorpion person suits the occupation which is to be concerned with
the people or the crowd, if the person is not a lawyer. Probably Delon must
succeed also a politician. It is decided that the fate which drives a
reputation by any case. Even if he did not do a movie, he must have become
famous for another field.
( Alain with Catherine who is called Kiki or Katinouchka
from Delon )
-
Alain Delon pleases that he puts the word " flic " into the
title of a movie. Because of all the movies on which this word was put into
the title succeeded.
-
"I carry out all these for her." If he didn't co-star with
his beloved daughter, Alain Delon would not photo the TV version "Le Lion"
by Kessel probably. Anouchka who is his Nouch co-stars with him for the
first time in front of a camera. "I have not already understood that who am
I, with whom I am co-starring. She who converses with me was reflected to my
eyes as an actress, and she had just got into the role. It is more than me
!" This may be somewhat exaggerated. To be sure, she makes it 12years old
and she has inherited the talent of performance of her father firmly. In the
middle of the savanna in Africa, she practices words from 8 o'clock in the
morning. The father wants to pull out her " nobleness ". Even if it is early
morning, he will escort all the scenes on which she appears. "She has suited
this occupation. It seems that I am looking at myself who just came back
from Indo-China in 1957. At that time, I was 22 years old. Yves Allegret
always said to me that 『 Don't act, be with you, move and walk ordinarily ! 』
From the time of the next work at a studio, I became easy like the fish
which obtained water completely. It is the same also for her." However,
prudent Anouchka tends to self-defend and she is irritated by Delon's
saying, "You are a star !" "I am disagreeable that papa uses the words."
Except the photography spot, she is devoted to practice in the room of a
rococo tone ( When her father says that it is 『 a room just like Holly Wood
star 』 ). And she listens to younger brother Alain-Fabien's comment, who
already co-starred with the father. Costarring with Anouchka does not go
easily like at that time of Alain-Fabien. She often uses the way of
resistance for she self-asserts like all marriageable young people come out
so. It will be, even if the papa is the great actor who has worked with the
magnate of the movie world. " What will I do ? I don't want to be carried
out performance which was wrong by her." It seems that he was also hard when
he heard that she heaved with a disgust. The Delon family has challenged the
photography program of 6 days an week in the base which the hut which
blended Switzerland and Africa. Even if they are surrounded by the giraffe
and the zebra in the middle of the savanna, they didn't come to a safari
tour. They don't have the time for to enjoy for one day either. However,
they could be seen all from the window at the time of the breakfast in the
morning, moreover an explorer's Anouchka found the skull of an antelope
decorated with the tree of a beautiful arabesque pattern at the reverse side
of the house. In the midst of supper, two children go out to search a trophy
of the left hunting in the darkness of the night without hearing the
father's advice. Alain is dissatisfied. Because for him, an overnight which
is spent with his children deserves all the dinners performed in a town.
Children are brightly and full of the spirit of inquiry, served as intellect
and mysterious adult-likeness, are throbbing. And they also correspond to a
changeable father's mood skillfully. They sometimes may be able to consider
just like an adult. Alain-Fabien who is called "Alf" is a lovely boy, is
excellent in powers of observation, and is not jealous to an elder sister at
all. As for the elder sister, she does not disclose her feeling like him.
She is the middle of a girl given to worrying and a shrewd woman. It seems
that the relation between a father and a daughter is looking at "Carmen". She
thrusts him off, he comes to her many times. On the other hand, she
approaches him, he shouts her. If she will resist, he will be become quiet,
and if she will be become steep, he will calm down. And she smiles. Delon
says that " It turns out that I am mad in her ? It is unavoidable. Because I
can not hide it. " The diligent children don't forget their homework in the
vacation, though they read the comics written by the Netherlands language.
Alain-Fabien writes a diary and Anouchka writes a composition. It is French
from now on. This is an wish of their mother. Probably, it will be better to
avoid the subject about Rosalie. Although it has been two years since their
separation soon, the crack is still vivid. The anger has not cooled down
either. Surely, it will become pitiful that Delon is with his children alone
in forever large Africa. However, Delon will taste an exceptional moment
this evening. Just 16:00 now, the sun begins to dye favorable red for
photography. He performs the sad scene used as the core of photography. The
small photography crew rides on a jeep and goes till the place " the tree of
rendezvous." This is the huge tree which also becomes the age of the tree
1000 years which the director Pinheiro has a his eye upon. The sequence was
shot from a helicopter. If the photography finishes and the noise of the
rotor of the helicopter fades, the neighborhood will serve as the world of
the beauty of again quiet wildness. Delon had stood under this tree by
himself for a long time. " I want to pull out the wooden energy by giving my
body to this great much old tree. This tree stands only by only one always.
It is the most beautiful tree in savanna." The moment of the hidden
impression. Delon was piling up and looking at himself and this tree. A
solitary and a sad thought, a life passes over. If it transcends the
hysterics which is the accompaniment to a movie. It occasionally is made
conscious a forever with a moment. It is already darkness at 17:00. Delon
will have to operate a jeep on a dangerous scene tomorrow. Ernest who is a
co-actor of Africa will shiver with a fear at the passenger seat. However,
Alain must not surely show a fear. ( from Paris Match N 2832 September

Kiki has said about Delon as
follows that " Alain is an extreme person to all. And his energy, his
severity. When beginning to photograph
『
Parole de
flic 』,
he burdened himself with absolute order for three months in Geneva. He had
performed swimming, muscular power training at a gym and tight work every
day on end. I was looking his efforts with worrying."
-
Alain Delon received the Art Culture decoration with
the green and white color ribbon from the hand of Jack Lang, while
Jean-Marie Le Pen watched. " A minister, you determined this decoration. I
would never get this from nobody's hand except you." He expressed a respect
to his favorite people at this moment that conferred honor upon his talent
and the career for 30 years. At the last, Delon told an appeal to Jack Lang
for Mireille Darc while he turns his eyes to the future like he talks with
Romy Schneider, Luchino Visconti, Edwige Feuillere, his son ( absence ) and
Geraldine Danon whose godfather is Delon . Delon rounded off the appeal
which "I wish that you will give a color mark also to my important Mireille.
If it can do, the purple color is good." ( Darc had never herd
anything about this appeal in advance. ) - from Paris Match M
2533 in 1986 -

"France is a country which has never already had a
great thing. Can we say that how many French has still remained ? A
designer, a chef. The country where only cooking is accepted in the world.
What is this ? This is a just developing country." He kicked the dead leaf
on the hill near his house with saying like this. Manu who is a black dog is
coming and going there. "Although it does not know whether it is suitable to
call myself a patriot, I like this country and as for me, it is hard to see
I get to be worse rapidly." He pronounces with "France" in small voice.
"Yes, it seems that people are wishing that I do politics to be sure. I also
want to do that. But all the present politics is fake and is manipulate.
Everything is random. I am unable to enter into it. Because I can speak only
about the truth for myself. The civil rights movement is also already the
past thing. From a kindergarten, we should teach children that what is a
life ? and the base of a life. At the present world, people pursue only a
right. People don't consider a duty so exercising only a right is an easy
thing. But nothing is born by this. Only a duty can build something. Only a
human being can have a duty." We arrive at the " fort " of 3 stories in
which Alain lives with animals, along the Seine. There is the secret alley
in the yard. We go into this impregnable building from underground, and
arrive at a kitchen by an elevator. Alain changes to the expression of
relaxation and a smiling face spreads over. The cushion with which
embroidery of a bead was given with " lovely Mimi " is put on the bedroom. I
didn't hear him why has he placed this cushion. Mimi left here for three
months ago, not one week ago. " Now, it is the mental condition which I
become to be naked and to be peeled the skin. Actually I don't go out,
either don't go out to the society willingly. I avoid the movie world and I
don't require anyone and anything. If I come to outside, I sometimes can not
bear people's eyes. Completely it is feeling as if it is attacked." He
explains the paintings which he owns, while he is showing the lurking place.
The quite study room opened to the terrace. He sighs there. "What can make
to be active a house and to be supported and to give vitality a house is an
woman." 1983 was a hard year for him. He lost Romy Schneider who was his
part, the relation which Mireille Darc and he have built already remains
only on the work. We don't need to say about his son whom he tried to raise
into the too much good child. Besides, there must be other suffering which
only his intimate friends know. Alain prepared the table at the big kitchen
in the next morning. There are all kinds of jam in a café au lait ball, and
butter is spread on a toast. He puts his hand on an electric coffee
percolator with stiffened expression. "I don't talk until I drink coffee. I
have only grunted." To be sure, he grunts, and the dogs are surprised and
are looking him. Then, he changes into a sweat suit. The character of the
red heart on the back and " I love you ". Who did dress this his favorite old
sportswear as such an appearance ? A pony finds the landlord and runs up to
him when we appear in the very large yard. The cowardly sheep have
disappeared to a distance of a grassland. He will go to meet people that he
calls " a family " in the afternoon. There are the houses everywhere of this
land. It is a house of a poaching watchperson, a house of a gardener. Alain
has given these houses to an woodworking person and a decoration person who
worked by a movie together. And they have repaired his villa and the yard.
They are happy. And the householder is too. "I am the head of the family,
kind of. I am glad to do all what I can for them, while they are around me.
I share the thing which I was able to get in my hand luckily with them. It
will be what a happiness." He guides the promenade which we walk now. "I am
going to free the deer here. If it will be done so, it will be really to
become a ground paradise." ( information from Paris Match M

Delon answered to the question that " Why
don't you make a movie for women ? ", " I am interested in only to women after
sunset. They who are before sunset let me bore."
-
At an interview, Delon talked as follows
to the question that "Why have you played as the role of the bad person or
the villain for many times ?" "The truth is that the dream that a movie is
merely the thing for the money is not insipid. Our spectators like the
underworld movies. They like to see that the police is at the mercy of the
thief. With 『 L'lnsoumis 』, I lost the big money. This is the one of the hard
things. Just now, in the 『 Borsalino 』 which was taken the big amount of
production costs, I worry about the investor. But I must not show such an
uneasiness as an actor. The spectators don't know anything. Belmondo and I
must not be looked the relationship of a producer and a star. We are the
friend each other and I can be relaxed when we are together." (

- In 1973, Delon is concerned with a gamble with Youssef Khaida. Khaida
launches a business in league with Zemour brothers who have begun to make a
figure with Benaim in the Algerian French Jewish circle. Violet who is the
author of Delon's biography which Delon has never admitted tells. " At first,
their common enterprise was the thing about a bar. Besides, Zemour brothers
had owned a nightclub ( Le Pariscope ) too. According to Marcantoni, it
seems that Delon had concerned with it by capitalizing. Marcantoni seems to
have helped Delon so that only this nightclub became the only business that
Delon associated with Zemour families." Is it an only business ? I
understand that it is not such a simple thing if I watch progressing of the
later thing. Delon was going to make a figure in the horse racing world too.
He purchases a Thoroughbred. And he founds a horsemanship place after having
failure many times. Who was the partner ? It is Benaim and Khaida. " He
employed a professional of horse racing to run the horse racing stable. It
is the horse racing French domestic Champion Jacques Imbert. He has been
even arrested as a kidnapper. Imbert introduces Delon with a coach
Pierre-Desire Allaire who has a good reputation. It was that time that an
injustice was done with a hat trick type of the pride cup. The jockey Louis
Imbert who is the son of Imbert was removed." Several years later, Jacques
Imbert narrowly escapes from shooting. Now Delon is the manager of the
casino which competing for the highest grade in Namur Belgium. He bought the
stock of this casino from capitalist Jean-Claude Mimran. Jean-Claude Mimran
owned the stock of this casino after having failure in management of another
high-quality casino. By this affair, Delon is rolled up in the opposition
and feels in danger. It was Khaida that suggested the stock of the casino of
Namur to Mimran. This casino almost burned down by a fire in 1982. For a
while later, Mimran parts with 1750 stocks of this casino. And Delon and
Vincent Bertella bought it, became the manager. Exchange of Delon that has
been updated regularly expires in May 2001. ( information from

An interview with Jean-Francois Deniau, Delon told as
follows, "I dislike the sea. Because when I look at the sea, I feel I am
powerless. I am land human being. I am no good unless I always touch the
ground. Fire is not scarier than water. Because I feel like I can defend
myself from fire more than water. The sea is fearful. Therefore I respect
you ( Jean-Francois Deniau ) who is the great navigations and the woman like
Florence Artaud. Because it is impossible for me. The voyage of one month
until to get Indo-China was exact sufferings. I never go to the sea. I like
loneliness and I am fond of becoming to be alone at a forest and a mountain.
However I hate the sea. When shooting of
『
Plein
Soleil 』, I swore I never
photographed in the sea again. I was such ill. For such a reason, I refused『
Le
Crabe-Tambour 』, but bitter regret
was left later." Besides, Delon told about death as follows, "I am not
afraid of death. But, I expect sudden death. I hate falling into physical
inability. I can not put up with it. A person grieves about death of another
person more than about own death. We taste a feeling of ineffectualness and
feel it is unfair. I am against to be powerless and unfair. I still remember
the thing of my 30th birthday. One of my friend celebrated it
brilliantly. He brought a Brazilian orchestra and Brigitte Bardot came there
too. And I became to write a word which was put on a magazine of the next
day. At those time, I who was a young stupid man became to be proud and
wrote as follows that『
I became 30
years old but such a thing does not matter for me ! 』However
by now, I think I want to write as follows that『
I
became 30 years old. I am happy. 』" Furthermore,
Delon says that "people can not accept 『 I have seven lifes. 』 A life is only
one. There are many stars in various fields, for example sports or politics.
But a star is the existence that does not reach. Therefore, when a person is
in the condition that seems to reach, the person plucks the atar down
towards a bottom. Both you and I face this problem. But this is a special
privilege."

Since the separation with Nathalie, Alain is absorbed
in work. Eddie Barclay prepared a yacht and sailor and also a piano and two
musicians for Delon. Barclay seems to want to make Delon a star of the
record world. For the next 6 months, Delon records a LP record ( 12 tunes
written by Michel Legrand ). In October, Delon has a plan to appear to the
TV program of Roland Petit with Zizi Jeanmaire and Rudolf Nureyev. He is
going to dance "Ladt is a tramp" which is American Standard while he
imitates Fred Astair there. Besides, in a movie, 5 works hold his schedule
until December in 1969. Delon is lonely now nevertheless he is surrounded by
the follows. He drives Cadillac with a telephone alone ( Anthony uses this
phone instead of a toy. Nathalie used it without cease. ). In addition,
sometimes he gets on Harley Davidson alone. However, Nathalie who having a
strong card as for succeeding Bardot someday would drive blue Dino Ferrari
alone ? ( information from Jours de France N 737 1969 )

Alain was going to go to Spain with stunt man Yves
Chiffre for photography "La Tulipe noire" by Buick. Before departure, they
took a lunch with manager Georges Beaume and Romy. Chiffre still remember,
"After the lunch, we split each other. At that time, Alain told me that
『
I make a detour. Because I will
have to pick up a person. 』Alain
honked in front of a government-built apartment in Mandelieu-la-Napoule.
Then a window opened and a young woman who is very beautiful and sunburned
well came out. She ran up while well carrying a bag on her shoulder. " After
a little, Georges Beaume visited Romy who was in Hollywood. "There is one
letter to you. It is Alain was lost in my documents before my departure. I
have never known anything." This was separation. Another women
appeared in his life afterwards. They were top-class. However, he was no use
to perform the man who was a hard-liner only by prostrating himself to
"beautiful women". Delon plays "a bad handsome man". Young Alain was the
regular customer of the bar " Marsouin " in Toulon. The bar is managed by
Charles Marcantoni and Francois who is the brother of him has already been
known by a court of law with theft, concealment, possession of a weapon and
illegal selling, a public employee purchase attempt, in addition, murder
suspicion etc at that time. This Marcantoni will be a part of shadow of
Delon's life. Marie-Christine Guerini who is Meme's daughter who is the NO.1
face in postwar Marseilles says that " the person who introduced Alain to my
father was Marcantoni ". Delon is welcomed like a son by this boss. This two
persons practiced a pistol together and crossed a hand when they bought a
horse named Lucky. ( information from VSD N 1205 2000 )

The parents of Delon lived at a small
housing complex in Bourg-la-Reine. The Arnold family of the mother's side
moved this district in the beginning of the 20th century. Delon's mother
Edith loses her mother when she was 3 years old, and her father who was a
great capitalist got married with a second wife immediately. Edith was
bullied by the second wife because she resembled her real mother. Presently
she ran away from the home and worked as a cleaning lady in a certain house
which had a deep relationship with the entertainment world. So she met many
artists there. At that time ( she was 25 years old ), she encountered Fabien
Delon and fell in love with him. He from Corsica whom she called " Fafa " was
an artist, was a movie maniac, lived a willful life. The movie theater which
he opened was named " Regina " by Edith. Edith quitted her work
which was the assistant of apothecary to become the guide of this movie
theater. Afterwards, this movie theater was closed in the beginning of
1960s, and Delon looked at the state that turned into a butcher's, a
bookstore with being condolences too much. 30 years later, Delon consented a

In October, 1963, Alain
will work with Rene Clement for filming of
" Felin "
again. This scenario was left to Pascal Jardin, but Jardin describes an
impression about Alain Delon for a long time at that time.
My wife recalls me to Alain Delon. They who have this no common point are
similar each other. I knew Alain 12 years ago. He was an inexperienced actor
in those days, and he has spoiled my car on the next day when I got to know
him. From that time, he tended to go too far in everything. He was in all
standard outside. He charmed me. He is the only man who sometimes makes me
think that I want to become a woman to know him more. His richness is in the
variety. Many people dwell in him, their each person does not get along with
each other..." Alain was pleased playing with American actress Jane Fonda in
this movie. She was a daughter of American actor Henry Fonda whom he
admired. Alain states about her and another costar Lola Albright that " Jane
is splendid wild beast and Lola is splendid civilization beast. " As well as

that their rupture was very painful for her. She said him "Do you know how
much I suffered after you quitted me ? " In front of 6 millions of TV
viewers and spectators at studio he becomes green. But he replies her
rhetorically " Yes, I know, but I had suffered terribly too. I know it wasn't
easily to live with me, but living with you wasn't easy too." Then I
intervene and say him " Mind you don't to make her angry more over ! " He
answers me "Oh you, the Belgian, shut up ! " I fling him "Oh you, the
Helvetian, everything is ok ! " He continued " In a day when you will manage

who is also an actor, flamed again. According to the journal "Die Actuelle",
the film star and successful businessman, wants to exclude Anthony from the
heritage. Alain Delon feels himself belied by his offspring.
He broke off all contacts with him. The newest
quarrel was aroused by appearance of the junior, who is an actor and women's
fondling the same as his papa, on French TV channel " France 2 ". Anthony who
is living with his wife and two daughters in Los-Angeles now, resented : " As

divorced, my father transferred on me his frustration with his whole energy.
I damn the neme Delon." His

Anthony will get nothing from his heritage. His wealth, about 16 millions
euro ( too strange sum ??? ), must be divided between two his younger
children Alain-Fabien and Anouchka. " This is like many times before, a

third floor was a reception room and the fourth floor was the room's in
charge of child care. The double curtain of blue color with branches and
leaves design worked the same as the wall paper hangs and the wall of other
rooms was covered with cloth of velvet or silk and there was a bathroom in
each room. The bathroom of the main bed room was very luxurious by arch

up especially there. One pair of great hound dogs was made from ceramics

About passion to a gun of Alain, his
explanation and a fact seem to make a great difference. Alain insists as " I
only love Western film." but Nathalie says that my husband owned a gun of
considerable quantity. Nathalie knew that my husband twisted a fact. And she
tells that " He often tells a lie toward a trivial thing because he hates
accounting the fact. so he tells a lie." France Roche remembers that I had
the experience that does not pun about the gun which Alain brought from
Japan. It was April in 1963. Her husband Gilbert de Goldschmidt participated
French movie festival was organized by Unifrance in one week in Tokyo. Some
movie stars came from France. They are Alain Delon, Francois Truffaut,
Francoise Brion, Alexandra Stewart and Marie Laforet etc. In free time of
the movie festival, they invited a local merchant to Takanawa Prince Hotel
and enjoyed shopping such as a pearl broach or pearl necklace. Their only
anxiety was that perhaps it would be caught on the customs. However the
worry was not confined only to the matter of these customs. Because Alain
said that I will attach the gun which I purchased in Japan to my waist and
take it home. Delon's fellows were in a cold sweat. Even if Roche and Brion
persuaded him, it was useless. Alain was relaxed very much when he arrived
at the customs of the airport. His well-known degree and his smile
talk a lot, and the customs did not do a troubled question, but Roche
worried when retaliation of this insane behavior would come over in the
future. She said that "He had deep love toward a weapon and the Mafia
anytime. He likes tasting a thrill. " - information

Alain swam in the supreme bliss which is
not a thing of present world in the poolside at 612 Beverly Avenue. As for
him or the many projects planned by him were splendid in dignity and the
scale. Ralph Nelson wanted to supervise him in " Les Tueurs de San Francisco "
which was detective film. Sam Peckinpah advanced the preparation for
filmization of "L'homme a cheval" of Pierre Drieu La Rochelle. In addition,
George Cukor planned to try to make "Cheri" of Collette into a movie with
present costume by co-staring Alain with Simone Signoret and Nathalie Wood.
The latter two plans of these didn't realize but Alain who wanted to work
with Peckinpah agreed with an idea of this Western movie director. It was to
play the role of the fresh leader of South America in an exotic and
historical adventure description was made by a huge amount of money " Ready
for the Tiger". However the studio was shocked by the scenario which had a
political relation clearly and the studio certainly shrank from the work
which was the left wing and was not fair at all in politics in a liberalism
mark. The plan became reservation. This movie company has the trademark
of a lion snarls left him alone until his child's birth, delayed the start
of filming, gave him a special privilege to plan a lesson quickly like
Italian filming in a studio in Los Angeles. Alain who is surrounded with
Jack Palance, Van Heflin and sensual Ann-Margret, is near his wife, went to
the studio at near D, shopped large quantities goods rapidly at night. As
for Alain, it was able to play Eddie Pedak was happy. The role is that when
he regains freedom after behind bars life and he decided to return to the
right way, he is approached with dirty work by his older brother. Alain came
back to his house in Beverly Hills every weekend. And when the filming was
finished, he borrowed the residence in Culver City which is his friend owned
who is in charge of art, for spending vacation with his family.
Alain left to Mexico with his family and attendants. Then he knew
that the yard of his new house in Mexico was adjacent with the yard of which
Louis Malle borrowed the house when he came here for filming "Viva Maria !"
in this 1965.
After that, there was not that Alain played the role which was a lazy
hero, revolutionist Flores by direction George Hamilton at all, for a wrong
rumor was not spread around, but this unexpected stay was kept reliability
for a rumor. At that time, Alain had a kiss scene with BB who has taken a

beautiful kiss photograph in the world nowadays. Afterwards Alain played
with Jeanne Moreau a kiss scene in the filming again. After filming, he
played cards together, drank tequila and swam in the swimming pool which it
was surrounded by a flower bed, and was buried among petals at a residence

up making a movie of Peckinpah after MGM having repeated reorganization many
times, a film distribution company of MGM proposed to go to South America
for a promotion and sales campaign of " Any Number Can Win ". He left toward
Chile, Colombia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia, Brazil and Argentina with
Nathalie. In Argentina, he became to be close friend with future President
Carlos Menem. He was the feeling that there was on a cloud. He was always
met by cheers and gave easy speech before each presentation, and after those
presentations, he attended at a press conference and left for an airport in
a storm of bouquet and kiss. As for him who came back to California again,
realized there is not an interesting plan, suggestion of each studio was not
the thing which he hoped. It was possible depending on him that he returned
to his native country once, then he came back to America again by contract.
In the beginning, life of the Yankeeism made him to entertain, but now
disappointed him. And he had thought that it was impossible to adapted
himself to American life, and to succeed. He yearned for Paname ( Paris ).
As for him. It yearned for the noise of a street, smell of a counter bar and
the steam of black coffee. In a bottom of blue sky, he suffered from
homesickness while being jolted by a palm tree. He realized that anything
was not good for him in this dissipation situation, so he packed, closed his
house and came back to Paris. At that time in France, the trend became to
b4e not only the handsome man who was lacked complicated personality is by
virtue of him in part. Recent actor has a background filled with a vague
character and suggestion. Jean-Paul Belmondo in " L'Homme de Rio" or Robert
Hossein in " Angelique, marquise des anges " became to be a top star.

Alain begins filming of " Trois hommes a
abattre " as 7th items with director Jack Deray in
August 1980. This movie gained a commercial great success but there was an
incident Delon got angry during filming and shot out from the shooting
scene. Costarring actress
Dalida Di Lazzaro recollects it as follows. " He
began to get angry during filming suddenly once, then he left from the
studio with his pet dog by his car as yelling. Everybody who are shooting
staffs told to me that 『 Dailida, please call back him. It was only you that
it could bring him. 』 Therefore I did a sketch of Alain who relaxed with a
smile and sent the rough draft to him with a message 『 This is my favorite Delon 』. Then he came back. And he presented a gold pendant of Tiffany to me,
he said to me that it was gratitude from me to you. It was carved as 『 Please
don't forget me 』" - information

his direction was shot in the suburbs of Grasse of Alps district. In a
costar, there was Henriette Marello who played the part of the proprietress
of a restaurant, but this location was going to become a nightmare for her.
At a certain morning, Alain came to her with his pet dog. While she who is
cheerful makes a lunch, she called him " Good Morning ! ". At that time, she
didn't even think that Alain commanded his dog to be made to attack her
instead of answering the greetings. Henriette recollects as follows, "When I
noticed his molosse dog Jado as a lump of muscle was going to attack me". I
protected my face at once and waited for the moment when the dog collided to
me. But, nothing happened after all. Because Alain called the dog, the dog
hit an iron plate of a truck, and the reckless driving of the dog stopped.
However, I tasted terrible fear, and also my anger was more than that. I
said to him 『 Do anything ! Your mind was out of order ? If your dog would
not understand your order, what would be happened. The dog was going to
almost bite me. 』 It was only a joke for Alain. The filming with Giovanni
advanced without any obstacles. They have understood and respected each
other since they collided at " Deux Hommes Dans La Ville ".
Delon replied toward a question " What's
your first memory ? " that my mother's face, it is the face of mother putting
me in a copper bathtub.

from home before a debut. The name of a restaurant in Paris where Delon's
favorite. The name of a production of a director Allegret.

city called Pampa in the 500 km north of Buenos Aires, this "macho" was born
51 years ago. He is still an idol here. Monzon met a French star in the
large bedroom which was shared with 10 other prisoners.
Will there be a person who can tell about her death
more than Alain Delon ? He loved her passionately and afterwards he loved
her calmly. The person who was going to let return her as her carrier in the
move of Deray "La Piscine" was Delon. Romy has changed. Romy lost
willpower to fight for carrier after separation with Delon. She came back to
Germany, then she got married with a director Harry Meyen on 15th
July 1966 and made one child David. She did not think
that she wanted to work because she wanted to spend her all to her child and
to cherish family warmth she has never appreciated in the past. In 1968, her family collapsed. Divorce. She fought to get parental
authority of a son. She gave up half of property to live with the child. She
said that "I would be better than I died if I part from my child."
In aspect of work, thereafter she was favorable an actress who
dedicated all to each role. Cry, anxiety, fierce pleasure. Everything was
shocking. In this disturbance, one man always soothed her who cried like a
child. It was Daniel Biasini. When she was not softened bitterness of the
life as a star by power of alcohol and tranquilizer anyway, she was able to
call him anytime at daytime even at night. She got married with Daniel in
1975, because she wanted to get the second child. She got married with
Daniel in 1975 because she wanted to get the second child. However, she
miscarried. Then in 1977, when she was 39 years old, she delivered a girl
Sarah.
David who repelled the second marriage of mother calmed down in front
of Sarah. And everything was full peacefully again. David was in harmony
with Daniel and he visited to grandparents in Saint- Germain-en-Laye with
Daniel. David was handsome, friendly and delicate. However, the delicacy
will take his life. On 5th July 1981, he was going to climb up
the gate of the grandparent's house for did not disturb them. And he slipped
and fell from the iron fence. The iron fence sharp keenly stuck in his
abdomen. He died at a hospital in Saint-Germain-en-Laye. Romy who heard this
news just after she was operated a kidney extraction so she got tired too
much. Her life was just continuation of ordeal. Her first husband Harry
Meyen committed suicide 2 years ago, she carried on serious shock on her
back even that. In addition, she held psychological pain because she did not
do well with Daniel Biasini who was the father of Sarah. At that time, she
was in the American Hospital for several weeks and she lost 10 kg in the
meantime. Then, it arrived the obituary of this David there. Nevertheless,
Romy determines to confront this wretched life for Sarah. However, the life
gave her ordeal again. Her heart became to be weak day by day. And on this
Saturday 29th May, death led her to ease. Romy who was
in life was going to lay David in the small grave in Boissy-sans-Avoir where
Romy rests now. Because David was buried in Saint-Germain-en-Laye. After
all, Romy came to enter the grave. However, David is going to come over soon
to the grave buried among these flowers. Alain Delon did not witness the
burial of Romy. He tells his state of mind in a shocking letter about that.
He witnessed at carrying the coffin out from her apartment in Barbet-de-Jouy
street 7 ward Paris but after that he left quietly and he neither went to a
church nor a graveyard. He wanted to avoid large group of people whom Romy
was afraid of like that. Alain decided to visit her
grave in the future so
that he was there only with her whom he loved once. Delon wrote the shocking
letter at evening when she died in her room. He watched her kindly. He
watched while he inclined his face to her face for several hours. Her face
was totally calm. The face was threw open from these misfortune and
uneasiness and irritation were disappeared really. It was only with her
memory and her pains that stayed to him.
On 9th January 1984, the filming of
"Notre
Histoire" begins by costarring with Nathalie Baye. Nathalie Baye were
irritated the existence of Alain Delon who pretended a big shot but after
that, they were going to thaw gradually. Alain teased the dog which was
Nathalie's pet dog Fox Terrier at the spot. And also, he invited her to a
simple
meal in his dressing room. The menu was a plain, a steak, salad and a
glass of Bordeaux red wine. Alain received the same questions many times
when the role of this movie was determined. As follows "Is it turning point
? " He comments to this question as follows "Is it Delon's turning point ?
It's ridiculous. There is not turning point. I always called myself Delon as the third person and I don't intend to change it from now on either. Through
my all carriers, I played a different position anytime. Do you think that is
there a common point in the roles I performed in
『
Mr. Klein 』,『
Le
Professeur 』,『
Rocco
et ses freres 』? There is not it at
all ! A big shot actor, that is to say, a big shot actor like me can not
shut myself in a routine role. I played Charlus recently but I was said a
turning point again there. Everybody is enthusiastic too much ! I want to
stop that you are going to conclude necessarily the choice of my role means
my private life or a change in my work. Because playing a certain role is
the matter of an opportunity anytime."
( Alain and Mireille at Forum des Halles
in Paris on 5th September 1979 )
Alain returned from Indocina took the job which needed
hands at night, carrying a load at wholesale dealer in Les Halles. It was
hard work to be over at midnight and he came back to his room at dawn in
Mermoz street near Champs-Elysees. Egyptian woman Yolanda Gigliotti lived in
the same floor and she came to tell her life to him. She became Miss Egypt
and came to France but she grieved a promise and a support of French
guardians were going to decrease day by day. This is latter Dalida. Alain
did not tell about himself to her at all, he said to her only "I just
returned from Indocina". He moved to a cheap hotel in 5 wards Paris soon.
Halimi brothers lived there too. Older brother Benjamin and Alain went to an
entertainment district almost every night. Like this, he is charmed by an
atmosphere of going out for pleasure at night while spends in the bar in
Saint-Benoit street near A Saint-Germain-des-Pres. A lot of actors went to
the bar. He who has preeminent looks has taken an offer of a stage debut.
After all, the plan in itself vanished and did not come true. But there were
many people convinced his success who was run after by many women in those
days. He met Zizi who was born in Antillaise at a bar where was within easy
reach of the famous "Café de Flore" at Saint-Benoit street. She was a
dancer, but she was paralyzed with both legs for several months because she
suffered from poliomyelitis. He was sympathized her brought her to her
house. Like this, Alain spent with her happily for a while. Until the say
when he meets Brigitte Auber. Brigitte remembers the time when she met him
in 1956. "I went to the Club Saint-Germain to dance at that day. One of my
friends said to me there was the boy who wanted to meet me anyway. The
friend said that the boy waited me at an opposite café." The friends of
Brigitte did not know who was the young man. Everybody told he had good
looks in unison. However she refuges she meets the strange young man. "On
the next day and the next day too, he proposed. On the third day, I made me
up my mind to meet him. As friends said, he surely had a something to be
riveted person's eyes in his appearance. As for what I was troubled one
thing was that he has already drunk 15 mugs of beer, and he completely got
drunk." Since that day, they built wonderful and beautiful relationship
nevertheless they sometimes quarreled. At first, they cohabited in an
apartment of ground floor in Pre-aux-Clercs street 7 wards Paris. There was
a fountain in the middle of the room. Alain in a memory of Brigitte was
perfect and was sweet kindly. He sometimes whisked off savings and gifted
luxurious present to her. "One day, he presented me a suede boots when I was
going to leave a location. It was splendid, it must have been costly. I did
not know how he made money but I wore it all the time during a location. In
addition, one day, he came to Switzerland to meet me where I made a stage
performance. At that time, he wanted to meet me then came there nevertheless
he had a heavy cold. He was a really lovely boy." She recollects. He seemed
to have had shyness to some extent to tell about relations with Brigitte,
but he has told it in a magazine several times. He introduced Brigitte to
his family and it was that time that association with his family was born.
For Brigitte, it was obvious that Alain was the young man who did not have
great ability. However, only his ambition was big. He wanted to become an
actor but Brigitte did not take it seriously. " He always longed for this
world. He wanted to become being famous anyway. Not what become merely an
actor." Alain Delon himself speaks as follows "I did not long for an
occupation of something in particular in those days. But whatever it is, I
did a big something and I was convinced I succeeded. Even if it was socks
selling or it was insurance solicitor." At first Brigitte did not back him
up to a way of an actor. It is said that it is the cause she was scary to
lose him. " I was afraid of that he was overwhelmed by the entertainment
world. But it was only this that he showed interest." One day, she
introduced him to a journalist Francois Reichenbach for becoming a news
photographer. However Alain hated having another person's camera or
developing a photo in a darkroom. She says "He did not have the mind with
such a thing at all. Because he wanted to succeed and wanted to become to be
famous immediately." She was not able to object to his first wish forever.
And she made him to go to a lesson of performance and made him to test a
course to the entertainment world. First coach Simone Jarnac whom he came
across there confides to Brigitte that "He has talent as I am not believed."
Brigitte participated in Cannes Film Festival in 1957 formally. Alain
followed her and stayed in Saint-Paul-de-Vence that she owned a house. In
this Film Festival, Alain met a new face actor Jean-Claude Brialy. " Alain
and Jean-Claude Brialy met in Cote D'azur and they hit it off immediately.
They lived similar life with almost same age. And they dreamed the same
future and had talent to succeed." She tells. Alain attracted reporters'
attention in Cote D'azur. A certain journalist speaks as follows "We held a
free projection party. It was a great success. At there, a certain young man
was going to be made to catch attention of photographer by an original
method. He drove around in a sports car with being clearly conscious James
Dean. His name was Alain Delon." Alain did not have the connection in this
world. For making the connection, he was able to only make the best of his
good looks attracted person's eyes and his eyes to be made to give in all
people. Brigitte knew his charm worked regardless of man and woman. "Alain
charmed a person and kept on. In that way, he enjoyed it."
He comes to go in and out to a local first-class hotel with Brialy.
And he is found by Micheline Presle. "I remember that there was a good young
man who had good looks outstandingly in a corner of a hotel. He frequently
observed around him." In the same hotel, he hit it off two journalists and
he often went out with four people included Brialy. In addition, the charm
of Alain also did not make Jean Cocteau who was the chief judge of the Film
Festival of the year to be indifferent. Delon's mother Edith Boulogne has
never forgotten a strange telephone from Jean Cocteau a few days after of
the Film Festival. "I am not sure how did Jean Cocteau examine my phone
number. He felt indignant at relations with Alain. Therefore I said to
Cocteau as follows
『
Then, you should
have slapped Alain. 』she speaks." In
addition, Romy Schneider attended the Film Festival too, but whether she and
Alain were the same hall or not was unknown. Alain who after came back to
Paris did many abnormal actions. One night, he shot several times gun toward
a louver of his apartment from the outside. A damaged neighbor reports it to
the police. And one day, he asked to lend the car to Brigitte for drive with
Brialy. She answers "My car is not a taxi." against his excessive impudent
manner then he jumped out in the outside where Brialy waited. Brialy tells
this continuance as follows "He went toward me, then he took out a pistol
from a pocket and shot a blow toward a door of her car and opened the door.
Then he played tricks and started the engine. He said to me
『Let's go ?』I
was frightened by fear. He goes nuts." Brigitte Auber did not possible think
that I could keep company with him who was 10 years old younger than me but
she became not be able to bear his terrible character gradually. She
describes about him as follows "The person he must beat himself for many
things." In addition, his friend Marie Laforet who will co-star with him
later encountered with his irascibility sometimes. "I watched he took a
considerate and kind act but he slapped a woman sometimes. Because he said
what he did not like what they were. In a trifle, he forgets me. Then his
face turns red and he slaps a partner. Alain is afraid of that it is made a
fool of his manner or lack of education. And then, someone does so he gets
furiously angry." However, in such a life, he did not forget his purpose. He
is found by Michele Cordoue just on the same period what he was invited to
Hollywood. She was the wife of a famous director Yves Allegret who was going
to find a young actor for a role of "James Dean style". Alain was introduced
her by his female friend Sylvaine Pecheral in a hall of wine festival which
gathered many stars. Sylvaine who is a common close friend Alain and Brialy
remembers the thing at that time. "For me, Alain and Brialy was number one
in Europe. But nobody requested to get their autograph because they were
nameless. In the hall, Michele Cordoue called me and asked,
『
Who is that beautiful young man who
was with you ? 』『
Which one ? Brown
eyes' man ? or Blue eyes' man ?
』I
hear. Then she says 『
Blue eyes.
Please introduce me him right now ! 』Then
I called him. She began to talk to Alain as follows
『
In fact, my husband is going to
find a young man for a role of a bad young boy. Don't you intend to try to
play ? 』" In this way, Alain met
Allegret the next day. After a talk of 2 hours, Allegret was completely
impressed deeply with him and decided to give a role to this movie beginner.
Delon has stated the reason what received the role as follows "It seems that
it was interesting for me and I was troubled with money at that time."
However, he was puzzled over consent for a instant. Allegret was a famous
big shot, he dealt with a movie which was written by Jean-Paul Sartre. And
it was the greatest honor that worked with him but he undertakes this work
meant that he gives up going to America. Sartre persuaded him who hesitated.
"The place where you succeed in a career is in France, is not in America. It
is much better competing for the first place in your hometown than being 41st
position in Hollywood." Alain thought that it was true. In this way,
fate winked him again. Because the movie production of Allegret was the name
of "Regina". - information from " Les mysteres

( Alain Delon and Mireille Darc in 1970s
)
In filming of " Le Samourai " with Melville,
Delon opposed to use Nathalie. Director Melville found something which
shined in Nathalie, so he wanted to use her with a stage name Sand. ( for a
spectator do not know that she is Delon's wife) The reason of Delon's
hesitation was also with their private reason. The mass media reported
discord of Alain and Nathalie since before for a while. Markovic was going
to intercede them, but it was failed. Release one month ago "Le Samourai",
Alain applied for divorce meditation to Paris courthouse. However, the
relations with Nathalie has never been completely over. They came to a
special preview together at that time. Both of them did each work
separately. In October, their separation was accepted formally by the
courthouse. By it, Alain lives in his house of Avenue de Messine and
Nathalie will live in an apartment of Rue Francois 1er where is near Champs-Elysees.
Nathalie confides as follows "The crack between Alain with me became to be
deep too much. He hated that I work as an actress. But each persisted in
one's position. Therefore, I, no, we decided divorce. I borrowed a house in
Saint-Tropez and spent there for one month. With my son, a child care woman
and Sylvie Vartan. Stephane brought me there, then he came back to Alain in
Paris on the next day. It was about on 15th August
1967. Stephane came to me suddenly without contacting me anything
beforehand. At that time, mass media screamed about Alain and me so they
reported that Alain referred Stephane to me. He stayed about 10 days.
Several days after when he arrived, I was sick. I had relations with
Stephane at that time. And during after 8 days, the relations continued.
When Stephane comes back to Paris, I clearly said to him that we should stop
our relations only this, we did stupid conduct, our friendship should not be
broken by such a thing." Nathalie who came back to Paris was going to start
over again the life with Alain. Meanwhile Stephane continued to live
together with the couple. However, the relations of Alain and Nathalie did
not return at all as used to be. During a location period in London, Alain
sent a letter to Nathalie. She came back to Delon's residence of Avenue de
Messine at that time. " Stephane brought me a letter from Alain. The content
was written there was that can you forget the past things ? can you come to
London? I went to the house in Tancrou with Stephane and I left to London on
the next day." Nathalie who spent a few days in London and came back to
Paris did not intend to come back to Alain's residence again. The
construction of the apartment of Rue Francois 1er has never finished yet, so
she decided to be lodged to the Beaume's house for a while. A few days
later, Alain came over to Beaume and they were there until December. He
experienced success and failure both, but at the beginning in 1968, Delon
became a popular famous person in France. According to a certain statistics,
he was the tenth place high rank of the person whom French respected.
However, 1968 was the year when a large scale strike and student dispute
happened and struggle was developed in the whole town in Paris. In those
days while a fight intensified, the manager of Montparnasse theater was
going to cancel the stage performance that Alain participated in, but Alain
and other actors continued the stage performance as "It was our duty that
affecting spectator." Stephane Marckovic and Yugoslav employed by him
guarded Alain but the stage performance was finished at 23rd
performance after all. At the same time, Alain and Nathalie decided that
they made their parting as decisive thing. Alain was obliged to come back to
his residence of Avenue de Messine. Nathalie confided a romantic adventure
with Marckovic to him several hours before of this determination. Alain
heard it without saying anything. It is not sure that afterwards whether he
talked with Marckovic about that, but during the June, they were often
witnessed together in Paris and it was not seen that a sign of argument
among them. However, it seems that a few Yugoslavs who were Stephane's
friend witnessed their intense quarrels in the middle of July. Nathalie with
Anthony spent in Arcachon as vacation at that time and when she came back to
Paris in the end of July, she invited Alain to her apartment of Francois
1er. Afterwards Alain left to Saint-Tropez for shooting "La Piscine" and
stayed in Brigitte Bardot's house. Bardot was constrained a little because
there was only the dignified bedroom which a room remodeled a storeroom. But
there was an advantage that a person can go to the beach in bare feet from
this room. When Delon looked at this room, he hesitated with having a bag of
Vuitton in his hand. However he received it politely after all.
One day Bardot tempted Alain to go to a pizza house with her friends.
He disliked her friends so Alain refused it politely. Bardot still memories
it when Alain preferred to eat meal with his guards more than me. When
Bardot came back, she found a scribble at a pillow. There was that "Why do
you share many times with such people and why do you spoil your life ?" with
his signature. Bardot did not feel it bad. Because she has known he was in
the hard time now. "Then Alain was very unstable. Because he parted with
Nathalie and did not meet Mireille Darc yet. In addition, he had a plan that
was shooting
『 La Piscine 』
with Romy Schneider. I think that as for him, the existence of Romy was
still big in his mind." She states. According to Bardot, they were able to
"fall in love", but Alain left her house with nothing after all. Because
shooting "La Piscine" began and a production rented another house for Alain.
The arrival to Cote D'Azur of Romy was planned at the beginning of August.
Alain went to an airport to meet her on that day. Mass media waited at an
airport to gain the reunion of these " European fiancés " into a camera.
Jean-Marie Molinengo who was an inexperienced reporter in those days planned
to interview which was a little same time interview of Delon and Romy, then
while we waited for arrival of Romy, he asked Alain that "May I interview to
you ? ". OK was given by Alain. Alain told that "In fact, I am tensed a
little. It is just 10 years since I first came here to meet her. It was in
1958. " Romy arrived soon. The reunion was very cheerful. Young Molinengo
asked Romy that whether the reunion with Alain was happy ? She answered
" Very much ". Then, Molinengo asked Alain a question once again. "Mr. Alain
Delon, you said to me that
『
I was
tensed too much, didn't you ?" Alain answered it with esprit. "Yes, it is
natural. Do you think so too ? Actually I am tensed but it is not yours! ".
Afterwards Molinengo admitted that "I surely worked with shaking.".

of the nose during whole this interview. Alain Delon says that "Now, from my
point of view, French movie is in the serious time. Therefore, I wanted to
introduce the movie which was a cradle of my early childhood, and was a
compass of my carrier to a viewer. There is a television to recreate a
little nowadays. People reflectively watch a television so young people is
attracted
『 Miami Vice 』more
than Louis Jouvet. At first, a child wants to watch a television. In
addition, it is important that learning existence of a movie is almost as
same as learning about War of Waterloo or the Second World War."

In 1989, Alain Delon works with
Godard in a movie "Nouvelle Vague". The participant first thought that these
two persons who had no common point will make the same movie is a joke, but
they first met at a bar of a hotel in Paris and they advanced the project.
Godard was bashful, he was shy in front of strangers. Delon tells as follows
that " I said to him for to be relaxed him that
『
Oh, you are a
great maestro, I am so happy because I was able to meet you ! 』and
I appeared in front of him nevertheless he has withered more. He asked me
with a lisp that 『 Did you think my idea ? 』 I followed his example
and answered him 『 It is a splendid thought ! 』 Then he said to me that 『 Did
you read my summary, didn't you ? 』, then I answered him that 『 It was very
interesting contents. 』 Actually Alain Delon confesses that I did not
understand half of explanation of Godard either at other place. But as for
him, the challenge was hearty welcome. Because she often wanted to give a
direction instead of the director who was her husband. " Delon recollects
it. " A person who is sitting down beside the director says that 『 Make it
Take 4 』 in front of me who knows this work well and respects this work. I
said to her that 『 Please let him choose it. Even if you choose it, please do
not do so it in front of me ! 』 The filming was performed in the form that a
studio had closed completely from outsider for wish of Godard. The filming
crew was consisted of approximately 6 staffs in all. For Delon who has
worked in filming spots had at least 80 staffs, it was a serious
environmental change. Godard in a studio was talkative and Delon told that
there were a lot of incomprehensible sayings in his saying. " Burdensome
thing for me was very vagueness of saying of Godard and indistinct saying.
For example, he says to me that 『 Put it in the left, like this. 』 I have it
according to his words. Then, next Godard says to me that 『 I said to you put
it in the right.』 after filming. I answered him that 『 No, you told me put it
in the left. But it is indifferent. I will do like you wish. So please
appoint properly. 』 Then Godard says that 『 But, I can not understand such a
thing. And it is no great difference between in the left and in the right. 』
Though it was satisfactory workmanship for Alain after an exhibition of this
movie, the critics were cold. And Alain Delon was hurt for this failure. "
I was tired. I have already lost even an aim. All seem to mess. I see
nothing anymore. To myself, I don't have the time to go to a movie theater
and theater, to spend with family. I have not taken a rest this summer more
than 4 days. It is a state wound up in a tornado. I understand nothing
anymore. My head spins. I have to regain my directionality. Speed was too
too fast. Rest is necessary. In this situation, I can not get the time to
taste result of my work. I can not wait to become 75 years old." For charge,
Alain decided to stay in the
residence in Geneva. Two molasses habitually
resided at the entrance of the house for the guard. It was full of the
collection of masterpiece of the painting and sculpture in the house. But
one of the sculptures was put up in the garden as a memorial monument of
dead his pet dog Manu. The name of the house became the name of the
president of his company. But this was measures before acquiring stay
authorization C in Switzerland.

At the time of 1986, an
indoor swimming pool
was
bounded on a
living room of Delon's main house in Douchy Loiret prefecture
but afterwards this pool was changed a projection booth which could
accommodate approximately 10 people. A painting "Scene of hunting" which was
drawn in the 12th century is hung beside of a
fireplace in this room.
The trouble with a director Gilles Behat and Alain was
so awful that it was the first time in film history in the movie "Dancing
Machine". According to a participant, it was 6 weeks that it seemed that it
was studded with "anger" and "Hollywood style whim". The first was Delon. He
did not like a costarring actress and abandoned the field for 3 days. Next,
the director Behat disappeared from a studio for 1 day. In addition, Cerrone
who is able to call a prince of French disco world was excluded from a
studio by Alain with vague reason. And Redha who was a choreographer of
Delon. He was attacked by him with vague reason. Anyway, Delon conflicted
with the most staff and it was only two people who avoided the collision
with Delon in the filming spot. They were his dresser and the author Paul-
Loup Sulitzer. On the contrary, Sulitzer says that Delon has 3 big good
points, courage, loyalty to the friendship and professional mind. "He is not
a coward. When it is necessary, he is the human being who can turn on to an
opponent . Once, at a bistro in Saint- Tropez, Alain was sworn, then he
rolled up his sleeves immediately. He has been had the preparation to
quarrel with an opponent anytime and to defeat it." A review of this
movie was terrible and it has begun to be said that "Alain Delon spoils
every production." As "He runs for a suicide." From a polite society of
Paris, it has begun to be gossiped that "You pose like Alain Delon" or "You
pose like Mr. Delon". Even his friend Jean Cau has doubt for behavior of
Alain. - information from " Les mysteres
Delon " -
It seems that Delon can be really quiet
incognito in
the mother country of Rosalie Netherlands. He can spend the weekend, for
example
cycling, with nobody disturb. And in the middle of 1990s, Delon
purchased a
house in about 3 km from the north sea. "Her roots is necessary
for Rosalie. In addition, I want to
be that my children who are half Dutch
become to like their mother country too."
Splendid gesture for a daughter as her father. "Anuchka
is lovely child. Her character is strong, so if she says no, it is nothing
doing. It is the same for me too. When I order what she does not want to do,
she watches me and imitates me. With drawing her eyebrows. In this, I become
to be really crazy." - information from " Cine Tele
Revue " No 9-2 Mars in 1995 -
On a certain Sunday of June, Alain Delon spent with his
family in Douchy. It is the private land which has 56 hectares. Anyone of
the family are full of happiness. On a L character type table of a big
kitchen, preparation for meal are ready. At the back of a pink bouquet of
the hydrangea brought up in a garden, traditional cooking forms a line. Dry
sausage ( Delon continues having pride without forgetting his first
occupation forever. ), roast chicken, salad of Firenze appearance, Brie
cheese and strawberry attached homemade fresh cream. The only one exception
is Chateau Labour 1982 made. After meal, while Rosalie took children to a
festival of Douchy, we settled in the den. It is a big room and a large
window faces forest. There are documents, telephone, newspaper and
collection of paintings on the table. And there is a copy of a cover of a
certain magazine before him. On the cover, there were "Alain Delon and
Rosalie. She runs away from home with a child. A crisis of the couple.
Serious blow for Delon. Cancel world tour." He who is a father of family
described with warlike position as follows "I kick in all of them who say
that our couple becomes to be spoiled ! While this happens in France or
Africa, why do they write only evil something to me ? " The truth is really
simple. Now I am filming 『 Une chance sur deux 』 with Jean-Paul Belmond and
Vanessa Paradis in Cote d'Azur. Rosalie went to Voorden only to meet her dad
in Netherlands and in reverse, she will be schedule to join me at a house
which I borrowed in Mougins Cote d'Azur with children two weeks later.
Nevertheless I think they will scream as follows. 『 Serious blow. Delon
cancels world tour. 』 However, it is irrelevant. I canceled world tour by my
private reason. If it is necessary, I may make documents." We went out. "I
think every couple have being like storm. But my family affair is a thing
only for me. And I will say 『 Go to hell ! 』 to a person who gossips such a
scandal. Rosalie and I have been together for 10 years, so I think we would
be finished our life together….Now Anouchka is 7 years old, so she became to
be able to understand considerable thing. A friend seems to ask her that 『 Do
your dad and mom quarrel with ? 』 at school. Such a ridiculous thing is left
in heart of children all the time. I can not expose my body to such a mean
behavior." A car stopped, and Rosalie returned from a festival with
children. Children run towards the dog house to see their good friend's dogs
Maya, Charly and Snoopy. In front of the kitchen door, an electric car for
golf stops. "Let's go to go around daddy !" Delon sits down on the driver's
seat. Alain Fabien is on his knee and Anouchka stands beside him. While the
car which picked them up is going to disappear to the inside of forest,
Rosalie came to the poolside overflowed with grass and flower. "Probably the
reason may be because I am Dutch, I love to do gardening with surrounded by
breed of each country. One day I have brought a rare plant stealthily. Alain
pleased and at the same time he resented a little. Because the castle what
was here was destroyed, I want to reproduce only a garden. While seeing old
documents, watching photos. Please watch this rose named
『
cuisse de nymphe
』.
Please try to smell. I do not know so fragrant flower. If I die, I want to
be put this flower to my grave." Alain came back. Children play with dogs
again. I quite agree with Alain about the article breakup of couple this
time. There was the almost same thing three months ago. I have been
depressed in feeling embarrassed. Therefore it is overdoing slightly this
time. It is due to Alain, the part of me became to be public but I want to
cherish a thing of only us. Douchy is our confidential paradise. Heaven.
This place must not be injured in anything." - information from

The first vacance in the 13th
year with Rosalie and his family in Biarritz. Alain granted her request. He
who got down from a cockpit of a helicopter for private use on Basque Coast
first tasted splendor of what did not anything with swimsuit figure. While
he chases with his eyes 10 years old Anouchka and 6 years old Alain= Fabien
like a daddy of the world. He who liked the land of Chene-Bougeries in the
suburbs of Geneva acquired Swiss nationality in 1999. Delon who is chased by
time is constantly going back and forth between Geneva and Douchy in Loiret
prefecture by a helicopter where a chapel is going to be constructed.
However he who spent unhurried time at l'hotel du Palais in Biarritz now
already decided to retire from the movie world as far as an appearance
request did not come from Besson, Leconte, Spielberg and he comfortably
waits for filming "Fabio Montale" which is a series of TF1 channel will
begin. In addition, he is carefully going to finish a collection of
photographs which will release next year with Henri-Jean Servat. He is
relaxed and looks at the sea. Though he will be 65 years old soon, he has a
body the same level as " l'Appo( De ) lon " of beach. In the last June, he
made a flutter by he said to the weekly magazine " Eva Tremila " in Italy " If
I became to be impotence, I would kill myself. " It suggested a theme of the

Cine-Tele Revue, she answered the first and also the last

46-16 NOVEMBRE 1995 -
In the beginning 1953, Alain was welcomed as "a H.R. (
special)" officer to the Pont-Rean training school in the suburbs of Rennes.
When he heard as "special", he thought I was assigned to an elite group.
However, actually the people what scholastic ability level was too low for
taking professional training were treated as "special". The discouragement
of Alain was big. At first, "H.R." officer had to choose either to wash a
deck all day or completely did general education. What Alain chose was the
latter. He who arrived at the Pont-Rean training school is commanded to send
all the private properties to his house back. He received a naval military
uniform instead. They are a beret, the undershirt of the striped pattern, a
black tie, a pea jacket, a working clothes of the canvas and so on. The
serial number written badge was given to him too. This badge was tied to a
chain and he had to put on the left arm like a bracelet. It seems that it
was his favorite thing, so he put on it when he appeared in "Parole de
flic". Alain enters a room for 5 people soon. There was Raymond Blasco who
was 2 years older. He chose the way to severe rules because he was not in
good with the second marriage partner of his mother too. The life at the
training school had two main things which were study and the body training.
As a day passed, Raymond Blasco grasped Alain's character. " In those days,
he did not seem to be now. He was modest, very quietly and smart. His heart
was gentle above all." He remembers that he went to the town with Alain. "We
went to the town for dancing on that day. At around 6 pm evening, we were
going to come back to the training school by exclusive bus, but it had been
already over in time of the meal and understood that we can not get supper,
but both he and I were penniless. Then, I knew that the asylum of the Red
Cross sold French fries for 10 centime. Alain proposed to buy it to me, but
I did not have money at all literally. 20 centime was in his pocket. I said
to him
『 Go. I wait for a bus. 』
then,
he is surprised and said to me that
『
It
is out of question that you wait for me outside. Please come together and we
order French fries one dish to each of us. 』At
that time when I was hungry, he gave a dish for me. It is unforgettable
throughout my life so that there is it in a song of Brassens. " In addition,
Raymond is with Alain who has really become another person brought him back
to the barracks. Because Alain has fallen in love with Brittany beautiful
woman. "The love at that time was totally different from the thing of the
boyhood of his Bourg-la-Reine times." He tasted a genuine kiss for the first
time on the day. I had to bear him who had finished being excited until next
morning." These pleasant events became to be the time what we can forget
severe training by the armed forces. After the training end, Raymond was
assigned to Cherbourg, Alain was assigned to Toulon and two people parted.
Raymond who left the armed forces five years later needed to never meet
Alain. "I always watched the carrier of his movie world through a newspaper,
a magazine, and I read a lot of his interviews too. But I strongly feel that
he has changed too much. He has become another person, present him is not
that young man whom I knew." Alain felt like having made a new family in the
armed forces. However he did not become estranged from the true his family
either. His mother Edith Boulogne has never gotten over the departure to the
front of his son. She stated an objection which the extension for the
soldier period of the son to the senior officer of the training school while
the son did not know it. When it was the weekend in Toulon, he went to
"Chicago". "Chicago" is a name by the local people named in the doubtful
neighborhood. And he became a regular customer of the bar "Marsouin" in this
area, and he was in favor with the owner Charles Marcantoni and his wife
Rita from Corsica, he was treated generously by them when it was before his
departure to Indochina and also after his return from there. Charles
Marcantoni recollects." Our customer was almost navy man. I got to know with
him in this way. It is common that a customer becomes a good friend. His
friends went bar-hopping at my bar or another, they called at them. But he
came to here often. He was a regular customer. I remember that he was an
amiable quietly young man. He was 17 years old. I do not understand whether
he was glad that he was in the navy. Because many navy men wanted to get an
allowance provided with at the time of a contract. Otherwise the reason was
because it escaped from the restraint of the family. They were concerned
with war at the same time. They went to the battlefield. The resistance of
Alain came to attract attention of officers and noncommissioned officers
immediately in Toulon. He said that "My close friend wanted to assemble a
radio so I stole machine parts and assembled a radio together." Without his
being ashamed of a punishment. Presently he postponed a contract more 2
years. Then he started to Indochina. While voyages of one month toward
Saigon, they had to call at a port three times. They were Egypt, Djibouti
and Singapore. For him, Indochina gave him the image, a rice field, a women
who has thin eyes and fellow. Did the colony war that France performed in
Asia bring political consciousness ? Once he who was afraid of in Bourg-la-Reine
never understood it why myself was in such Far East. He talked "We did not
know why war was performed either." He gripped the capital of Indochina as
the flat town where a crowd milled, was constructed in mud. He did not
complain the heat he has no patience and "the sky is always clouded by
steam, is not blue at all" either. Late fashion more for years than Paris'
one the movie of Gabin staged for weeks. He never dreamed it came to the
time he played with Gabin in the future. "It was the first memory and most
splendid movie for me. It was France and it was Gabin. In the life, everyone
wants to escape from one's place and wants to go somewhere. However, just
after a person came to the somewhere at last, a person misses the subway
ticket of Paris, French movie. My fellow and I everybody kept back that
subway ticket in a wallet even if it crumbled." He stuck a photograph of
actress Madeleine Lebeau in a small box. She lived in Bourg-la-Reine, she
was the customer of the shop of his mother and was a friend. He met her who
was a wife of producer Clement Duhour, and "who was a lover of Marcel Achard"
a few times at a street before departure. He became the captive of the good
looks of her and her younger sister, and he associated with her younger
sister for a while. He was brought to the filming spot of the movie by her.
Mother sent a long letter to him who was in Indochina every day and
continued sending butter and chicken, ham and a cake to him once a week.
However the bosses of Alain made an ironical remark to his mother "we have
never seen the volunteer who received such a lot of loads and letters."
Mother wanted to discharge somehow her son who was in the prison by the
affair of jeep carrying out afterwards. "It seemed not to be continued
anymore. He spent everyday at a prison, and I cried every night." And he
will be returned to his own country at last. The demobilization allowance
was deducted, and he had to be jailed by weapon possession more again for 45
days in Toulon. After q while he was repatriated to his mother country, it
came the time to leave the Mediterranean Sea district at last. Before
it, he wanted to meet regular customers of " Marsouin ". Charles Marcantoni
and Rita invited him like "a real child". He gets to know with Charles'
older brother Francois there. His name was known in the underworld. When he
got to know with Delon, he did not stay in the memory in particular the
encounter with the jobless Delon whom the younger brother introduced to him.
However, the encounter gave big influence to the life of Delon in the
future. - information from " Les mysteres

It was a kind of fight to let producers accept
appointment of Alain nevertheless being with enthusiasm of Allegret. Becau,
whose
the producers unanimously wanted to use popular Gil Vidal in those days. Allegret decided to ask for help of Edwige Feuillere to send to the world my new face Delon whom oneself excavated out.
He showed her several films of the camera test. Feuilere felt Alain had few
something what other actors did not have. Allegret did precise advice to
Delon too. "I want to be you like you as usual. Move to be always and walk.
You must not think that you will make a something special. You must not
perform and be going to play, those are out of the question. Be it like you.
Then you will become the hero of my movie naturally if you do so it." The
first filming was the scene that he came out of the parcel of the cake at
Avenue Victor-Hugo then got on a car. Alain does not have memory what having
any tension even if he was in front of the first camera. On the contrary, he
was relax like being in his element. He states "It was very easy and only
natural. In addition, the director followed up me very well." Allegret
worked intensely for not to show inexperience of Alain with screen. Woman
co-star Sophie Daumier became the partner of the first kiss scene in his
movie world. After that, Alain starts filming " Sois belle et tais-toi " as
his second work with a director Marc Allegret who is the older brother of
Yves Allegret. Delon co-stared with Jean-Paul Belmond whom Delon first met
there for a few scenes. Delon says "Jean-Paul had a very odd figure. He was
not yet in the rank it could call a popular new face." This was the opening
of the rival battle with Belmond, but at this point in time, Alain's
name appeared in credit bigger than Belmond's one. In this way, he was
going to be recognized by movie director and filming costars. But he had bad
reputation by producers. Because "He has good looks, but he is nameless" By
the reason of it, he missed a chance many times. He exerts to level up his
publicity by getting power of Georges Beaume who is his friend, journalist,
who became the existence of "the personal manager" for overcoming such
situation. In this way, he is introduced as one of the promising male new
face in a famous movie magazine in spring 1958. Alain believed in the future
as my star firmly. And he was convinced when himself reached the top than
anyone of new faces introduced to this magazine together with the work on
the next time. Romy Schneider chose Alain Delon as a costarring partner for
following movie 『 Christine 』. Brialy told 『 She decided Alain. Because of she
saw a his photograph then, she felt that he was attractive, handsome besides
he was an actor whom she did not know. 』 Alain Delon was only surprised. Delon
told 『When I heard it, to be honest, I was struck dumb with astonishment
like an idiot. 』 The director Pierre Gaspard-Huit liked this choice of Romy.
And he enjoyed that he brought up Alain Delon into an actor of the peak of
popularity. Alain who was ordered picking up Romy to the Orly Airport by the
producer, accompanied with his friend Brialy, because Alain lost his nerve.
Many mass communication participants came to the airport. Alain holds the
bouquet of the big rose and waits for her. Presently Romy appeared with her
mother, then the shutter of the camera was touched in many places. Both
Alain and Romy were awkward in the same way. Alain talks this time as
follows,
『 I was uncomfortable as
nauseated. 』『
I who was kept the
bouquet of the rose under my arm by the producer, must have seen me
foolishly. 』When test filming
finished, Alain invited Romy and her mother Magda to dinner to "Lido". They
agreed to it by courtesy. Both of them can not speak French. Delon can only
speak broken English. Therefore, Brialy who was proficient German went with
dinner as an interpreter. In the middle of dinner, Brialy whispered to Delon
anxiously. 『 Do you understand, how much bill of here becomes ? 』 However,
Alain did not listen it, when they had to settle, the two people understood
that money came short, then they confided it to Romy and her mother. And in
the occasion, Romy paid bill and she was relieved them. Brialy says that
『 She was a star, but we were not so. 』 Actually the performance fee of Alain
and Brialy was not able to compare with the performance fee of Romy. Romy
and Alain did not fall in love immediately. However, Alain sent a letter to
Romy who stayed in Baleares and read a scenario. For her, the letter of
Alain was too perfect, and it was the thing which was 『 boredom to
death 』 She wrote an answer in courtesy but the contents were too short. Her
mother did not like the badness of the breeding of Alain. Therefore she
advised it to her daughter. When filming begins, Romy comes to be shocked
many times by Alain who wears a blue jeans and a T-shirt with the hair are
unkempt, is fast speaker, is rough, is always late for the studio.
Nevertheless she accepted his invitation and they sometimes went to drive by
green color MG. The driving of Alain was really rough. During filming, they
become to awake each other and at the same time, come to quarrel
consistently. The participants who were puzzled by them, turned a blind eye
to look it. However, the situation changes since they joined the movie
festival in Bruxelles. During this movie festival, they never quarreled, and
also they begun to hit as a lover in this opportunity. Magda Schneider did
not feel like being good. When she met her daughter at Midi Station in
Bruxelles. She said to her with sarcasm "You are in love…" In contrast, Romy
answered back to her mother "You are not satisfied unless you complain
anytime !" The evening of this day, at the restaurant which Romy's father
owned, the strained state between Romy and her family continued yet. Romy
talks about that evening in Bruxelles as follows. "Alain was French people's
table at dance party. I was German people's one with my parents. In the
middle of a dance, he invited me whether come to my table. But, I was
so-called good child yet, returned to the table of my family. And I noticed
suddenly after I took champagne and having considered. I do not take the
interference of my family from now on anymore. It was the moment something
had begun to resist them." It was several weeks after that Romy acted to
sweep an image which Romy was rich and good child by being indulged. When
location in Vienna began, the actors stayed at Sacher Hotel the highest
grade in Austria. In this luxurious atmosphere, the romance of Alain and
Romy gradually adds to the scale, and Alain burns passion to Romy. At the
same time, the love of Romy and Alain became the mark of the backbiting.
When Magda witnessed the spot of their first kiss, the rumor spread through
the national level. When filming was over, Romy saw Alain off to the
airport. She entered in the airport by using a special privilege, and she
saw him off to the gangway of the airplane. She wept bitterly at the chest
of mother after he had left as soon as she came back to the hotel. And she
decided going to Paris 48 hours later. In this way she called Alain when she
arrived at the Orly Airport in Paris. She enjoyed deeply about happiness and
freedom as soon as she heard his voice. It was the moment that she escaped
from protection of mother for her and it stood on its own feet. When she
knew that Alain who had left Austria suffered from parting with Romy, she
soaked herself in more feeling of happiness. Alain confided the hard feeling
for a long time to Georges Beaume who was his personal manager and Alain
shed tears. It was the apartment of Georges Beaume to have become the
acceptance of Romy. In this way, the long friendship of three them began.
Although the movie "Christine" did not make a hit, Alain went to the
direction that he realized his long-time dream surely. His name appeared
large in the advertisement of du Colisee pediment of Champs-Elysees.

-
A certain morning in March 1970, Alain Delon entered
the filming " Le Cercle Rouge " with gray turtleneck and pants of Shetland. He
dyed his chestnut hair to black for performing the role of this movie and
wore a false mustache. This seems to be to avoid confusion with the chief
character of " Borsalino ". The filming of this day was carried out in the
snowstorm. In the evening, the filming crews spent at comfortable auberge (
a small hotel ). In the lunch, Alain who was drank only water, but he tasted
some wine and whiskey in the dinner. The atmosphere of the inn was relaxed
and he who was the super star enjoyed played a game with his staffs. " Le Cercle rouge " was the second movie for the director Melville gained a great
success with an release. In the next movie " Doucement les basses ", the
company of Delon himself acted the produce, and large-scale public relations
was developed. It was a successful advertising method in the case of " Borsalino ".
It lets attach the poster of the movie to the privately-owned car of several
hundred as "sandwich car" is not "sandwich man". It was a thing to make
drive them to around roads of capital Paris for two weeks. The owners of the
privately-owned car took gas ticket for 90 francs as reward they drive their
cars attached an advertisement. Approval by four ministers was necessary for
this exceptional plan. The culture Minister gave qualified permission which
was without harming the scene of the town. The traffic Minister considered
there was not the inconvenience at all to give permission. However, as a
problem to be left, there was the government ordinance "advertising car must
not run at the Champs-Elysees, in the forest of Boulogne, Vincennes." After
all, a government ordinance did not have the item which forbade the distance
that a privately-owned car ran…but, this movie did not succeed like
Borsalino nevertheless with such a public relations. Filming of " Un flic "
becoming the last movie of director Melville begins in 1971. He talks about
he changes completely from the villain who became basic of his role to play
the part of detective as follows. "I am a role of detective in this time, so
I think I will not be blamed he always plays only rogue or vagabond. I went
to the enemy camp." This movie failed and the director was disappointed too
much. However, Delon did not regret effort. He increased the weight by 5
kilos and challenged filming to get closer to the chief character image that
the director imaged. A fat image was an aim to prevent confusion with the
chief character of " Le Samourai ". After this failure, in the side of the
director, it announced to a reporter that I will not work with Alain Delon
anymore. It was a reason that Delon had some practice and it appeared
unconsciously too much. About this matter, Delon argues that "The truth is
totally reverse. I decided not to work with Melville. He has a lot of habit.
But I did not announce about that in courtesy. I would not tell it to you
now if there was not this article." In the next movie " Le Professeur ", the
music of his friend Dalida of the time that she was nameless and poverty,
was used and Delon changed the title that estranged with the director but
the movie succeeded. In the "Scorpio", he will come back to a Hollywood
movie. It passes through time of ten years from " Le Guepard ". Alain Delon
meets Burt Lancaster again. Alain became more famous than the past. When he
met Lancaster again, "Do you remember ? You were my boss." He said. When
Lancaster hears it, he laughed hard as usual and he said that "I have
already got too much old to become your boss ! You are my boss this time."
The later " Traitement de choc " was thrashed. This movie was flayed by
the critic and the spectators expressed dissatisfaction. In particular,
journalism made a sarcastic remark about Alain became the nude. The image
of this movie is a state used now in a porn site with the internet. It seems
that Alain does not allow this but there is not the sign that his lawyer
moves at all. If they know this, perhaps they will be considered that they
do not have the value as they file a suit. After that, Delon begins filming
of " Brulles Granges Blulees " . For this movie, there were veteran actress
Simone Signoret and Miou-Miou who was a new face in those days as a costar.
The director was Jean Chapot he was a young director but he was not a
beginner. His early work " La Voleuse " which he filmed with Romy Schneider
was estimated very much. Delon did not know Chapot too much, but Delon
decided to behave to him preciously. Chapot's opinion did not fit Delon at
all in the filming spot and Delon resisted his idea for all his suggestion
and took it down. The atmosphere of the filming spot was serious, so new
face Miou-Miou who became the dilemma of Delon and Chapot suffered too much.
She said that " If their discord continues more than this, I give up."
Nevertheless the fight of the director and Delon continued escalating. At
last, one day she disappeared to tell a destination nobody. The participants
looked for many places, but she did not come back to her house either, and
it was impossible to find out. However a few days later she came back
without any sign. She heard that did their discord solve ? Actually it
became the form that Delon won the fight by asserting himself, and he came
to command filming. Therefore the spot regained calmness, and filming was
continued nothing prevents during three weeks. But many people knew the
talent of Chapot who suffered in the situation. He was an excellent
director, but Chapot was not able to command the spot because affinity did
not fit Alain. During Alain's absence due to he goes to Paris, Simone
Signoret ordered spot conduct from by the produce side answered immediately
" It is ourselves to have chosen a director. Chapot is an excellent
director. We will have him finish this movie." Alain was asked comment from
about this affair in a subsequent press conference, answered as follows.
"The all of you seem to be misunderstood about me. It is only an ordinary
director that I attack. There is never that I criticized flatly Melville and
Visconti. They are big shots. Actually it needed that someone replaced with
him whom there is not ability to act as the director of 『 Brulles Granges Blulees 』" - information from " Les mysteres Delon " -

I think that if I compare Alain Delon whom I respect to
an animal, he resembles the fox of " The prince of the star. " Because we
can not become his friend, and know about him, unless he receives what is
tamed by us. The fox of " Saint-Exupery " says as follows. " When you tame
me, we are not left each other anymore, you become only one person for me in
the world, and I become irreplaceable person for you. " I do not intend to
insist that I am a friend of Alain Delon. But, I know that all the people
who were able to tame him, become an irreplaceable person for him. Even if
it is a police officer, a gangster, famous, nameless, a power man, a poor
person, the friendship that he gives endlessly without compensation does not
change. He showed this friendship anytime and his faithfulness lets us cause
a feeling of respect irresistibly. When I needed his help by a private
or work at the small level such as my case, he came anytime. Regardless of
running around as a recommender of the programs at time of the work of RTI.
It is what there is totally no his profit and did for me entirely. My
favorite Delon is right a monarch. But, everybody does not send respect and
the loyalty to him in the same way. He is often betrayed and is disappointed
and is hurt, and it will be that he was knocked down. Therefore, it is often
that he often " Shuts himself up " because he does not let the nervous
system give up. As for me, there was an opportunity to meet many famous
people since I am assigned to this work, but is seized with the sense that
there is not elsewhere anytime when I watch Delon appearing in the public
place. Many eyes move, and it looks like the noise fills the space… I have
not felt so such an atmosphere when often who appeared either. Of course, he
shows him whom people want to watch because he is in the public place, and
Alain is seen in general people. He plays the character that people want to
recognize to him. However, Delon who is often insolent, arrogant, comic,
fills confidence, is twisted is a thing far apart from the man that is
passionate, delicate, interestingly, warmly and the generosity is good whom
I know. In a trial, and he experienced really many trials, but he seems to
be immortal. Even if there is it in today's evil current, he continues
giving energy. Power to turn to the top anytime. When he likes to be with
dogs than the existence of a person and decides he is alone and spends
Reveillon, I sometimes think that he is poor. In addition, I am frozen for a
shock when he confides to me that I virtually died after death of Brando.
And I become scary when he tells me that he continues being alive for only
he does not make his child sad. He often says that a person can get success
and neither happiness at the same time. His future gives the reverse to him,
and I want to pray to be able to think that he succeeded in the life at the
end of the life. The fox said to the prince of the star as follows at
parting. " You have to see things by heart. If you do not do so, you can not
see things well. The important thing is invisible. " I can think of whether
Delon seems to have written this sentence. – the article of Marc-Olivier Fogiel -

In 1973, Delon planned the sponsorship of the world
middle weight title match of the boxing and decided to let Carlos Monzon and
French champion
Jean-Claude Bouttier meet at a ring. He
let Jean-Claude Bouttier stay in
the private land in Douchy he owns from
several years ago for 46 days before the match to provide the match.
According to the local historian, the private land in Douchy of Delon was
the place that was the territory of the Earl Neverley once, and it seems
Jean d'Arc rested with Earl Dunois and Earl Xaintrailles of the supporter in
the interval of the fight there. Alain Delon sometimes came and went by jeep
Mini Moke with Anthony ( 9 years old ) at the site of this 50 hectares.
During training, a red ring was placed in the neighborhood of the swimming
pool, and a jogging course for 6 kilometers was prepared in the depths of
the site for Jean-Claude Bouttier and his friends. One of a few friends was
allowed to enter this private land spoke that " Delon who was punctual and
Mireille who was kind were the couple well-balanced. Mireille was always
relaxed with smile, and was artless, so the atmosphere of the spot was very
comfortable." In addition, Bouttier himself said that environment at that
time was ideal training ground. "In such an atmosphere, it can not be making
perfect condition. There was really ground paradise. Calm and comfortable
living, birdsong in the forest. This quietness was a very precious thing. It
is not allowed to suffer terrible defeat a match after having done such a
living in Douchy." In spare time, the boxers spent at the game room which
had the billiards stand and the jukebox. Besides, they ate at the two big
tables in the kitchen for exclusive use of Alain Delon at noon, at evening.
However, in spite of training performed in the best environment, Bouttier
lost in a match after all. - information from " Les mysteres Delon " -
Anthony's two daughters' name are Lou ( born in 1996 )
and Liv ( born in 2001). They are Alain Delon's granddaughters. Their mother
is Sophie.
In the film " Le Guepard ", Delon will work with Visconti
again. At first, Visconti objected to appoint American actor Burt Lancaster.
However, he compromised after all, and on the contrary he understood his
physical peculiarity accommodated the character he imaged. Alain tells. "A
few days before of the start the filming, Visconti asked me and the costar
Claudia Cardinale to pick up Lancaster
to the airport together." When Alain met the great actor Lancaster whom he
was 23 years old older than him, he was surprised and overwhelmed the size
of his body, nice his build very much. "I was overwhelmed a little. However,
actually Lancaster was shocked too. Because he was an enthusiastic fan of
Visconti." While he shared the work with him, Alain came to be moved with
his candidness. In this way, the strange atmosphere that each person talked
in own native language was grown in the filming. " I said that 『 Burt, I must
talk to you. I am not easily if I don't say you. I am overwhelmed by
you. 』 Then, he said to me while bursting out laughing,『 Don't worry. That's
OK .』" The filming was performed in this way. I called him 『 My Boss 』 during
the filming. Alain Delon observed Lancaster during this long term filming."
In the filming period, it is at the castle where they stayed in. One day,
Romy came over for few days to visit to Sicilia. According to Alain. Burt
was not indifferent to charm of Romy. "Burt felt charm to he. As an actress,
as an woman. Of course it seems that Romy was interested in his existence."
Claudia from Sicilia recites various episodes in this filming. She was
fascinated by Delon's good looks. 『 Alain Delon episode 』 that she named is the
next episodes. "His charm was his clear malicious eyes and his muscular
body. And it was his severe sarcasm above all. Alain had confidence in his
charm. Therefore he made a bet with Visconti. He thought that I would be
tempted immediately by him. Visconti loved such a slightly unkind play.
Alain said to me as follows during the filming of the love scene. 『 Claudia,
I do not want to do counterfeit kiss or false caress. 』 But I could understand
this tactics immediately. I worked out a stratagem and did not show my real
intention. I did not want to play into the hands of them. I did not want to
behave like the stupid girl not able to bear Alain Delon's charm. Visconti
came to respect me in this way. It seems that he liked me, because I was not
caught in this trap. He understood that I was not a small girl, I was a
strong woman." Presently this make-believe of Alain became Visconti's
furious target. According to Claudia, on that day Visconti felt outrage at
the result of the scene of the attic which she played with Alain. "Visconti
hit all having usually thought on Alain at the opportunity. He insulted him
in front of all. I remember Alain at that time. Because we sat down on the
same sofa together. He grasped my hand to show courage and not to talk back
to Visconti. Visconti's anger did not shatter respect Alain had to him but
he strongly grasped my hand to suppress himself as to be destroyed." It
seems that there was an other reason for the tiff of Visconti and Delon.
Alain was in the unstable situation in interval with the next filming that
was finished contract, because of the filming " Melodie en sous-sol " with Verneuil had already begun, but Visconti was not going to free the actor of
his movie. Long friendship with Claudia continued afterwards nevertheless
there was the affair in "Episode". - information from " Les mysteres Delon "

Delon mets Spaniard Francine Canovas ( Nathalie Delon )
from Morocco while he still formally got engaged with Romy Schneider. The
testimony of Alain is different from Nathalie about this encounter. Alain
side says that it was introduced her by the friend Prince Poniatowski. ( She
came to France for divorce mediation. However, she never left France
afterwards. ) But, the other Nathalie side says that I met him accidentally
at a nightclub. Her real name is Francine Canovas but she liked to be called
Nathalie in France. She was born in the Moroccan northern part in August
1941, father from Algeria with mother from Spain territory. Her father ran
the transportation company in Morocco, but she met father first when she was
8 years old. Afterwards she could not meet him until her birthday of 14
years old. In this way, she lived at the simple apartment in Casablanca with
her mother. But in 1959, when she was 18 years old, she got marry with Guy
Barthelemy who was 4 years old older, who was a called –up soldier from
French northern part. The wedding ceremony was held at French consular
office in Casablanca. They choose to live in Morocco afterwards. Several
months later, a girl was born, and she was named Nathalie, but the
relationship of the couple cracked immediately, they divorced in 1963.
Father of the daughter took parental authority. She decided emigration to
Paris before the last divorce procedure is over, but she sometimes returns
to Morocco to meet her daughter. In May 1963, she was invited going to Spain
together from Alain for the filming "La
Tulipe noire" then she followed Alain positively. At that time,
Chiffre who did not appear since smoking Jacket affair has driven a car. He
was dumbfounded by a sudden appearance of Nathalie because he commonly took
a dinner with Romy, Alain and Beaume just before departure. Alain Delon
liked Spain. During the filming period, he borrowed a luxurious villa in the
suburbs Madrid, but it was insufficient to escape from the reporters who
heard a rumor of the collapse of Romy and Alain and snooped. Delon paid
scrupulous attention, but one day, one paparazzo invaded the villa and took
a photo of Nathalie so Alain decided to manage it with George Beaume and
Chiffre. Chiffre says that "At first, most sociable among us George asked
the paparazzo to give the film. But the paparazzo showed a hesitant
attitude. Therefore, Alain who are irritated took the camera from him and
took away the film." Afterwards, Delon was accused due to house invasion and
occupation machine parts destruction and Delon was taken to the police
station with putting handcuffs at late-night 1, but after all, he was
released at dawn. The filming made slow progress for Delon and for the stunt
man Chiffre, it was due to the director who had high request. The only
comfort for them was Nathalie's eyes with full respect. On the other hand,
Romy did not want to believe that engagement was canceled. In 1963, it
became the worst year for Romy. At first, it was a photo of the filming
scene of "La Turipe noire" that she saw. She says that "The same photo
appeared in all magazine. Alain who sits down on a chair. And the woman who
sits down on his knee." She wanted to believe that it was a temporary whim.
Romy understood that many women was fascinated by Alain and also he liked
what was liked by an woman but this affair has exceeded a limit. It was in
Rome that Delon met Romy last. Romy recollects as follows. "In Rome,
everything was always same. Anything not seems to change among us. Alain saw
me who left to Hollywood to the airport. In the first few days after
leaving, we talked on the phone as usual, everything was the same. But only
one thing that was unusual was a rumor came to appear in a magazine
steadily. It was the article about the engagement with the woman called
Nathalie." Afterwards George Beaume brought a letter from Delon to Romy. He
said that "Now, Romy, you must rouse up your all power." then he handed the
long letter which extended to ten pieces to her. It was a farewell letter.
Then, during a few months, she was suffered. Pains and despair strike her,
and according to the people who were her close friends, this separation was
just tragedy for her. The journalist France Roche who was her friend
announced this separation with the magazine France-Soir formally. She tells
that "Romy did all for marriage. She accepted all to live with Alain. But
Alain said to her 『 Please listen carefully, it is an easy thing. Let's marry
if we do not quarrel for three months. 』 He should have understood what kind
of thing he said by himself. Because, they always quarreled. After this
separation, Romy took a tranquilizer for a while. At night, her hand
incredibly shakes...nevertheless she still continued to love him for months.
She left a message to his car. At the same time, she went out with other men
who tempted her. It would be to be able to persuade herself when surely
herself still had charm." In addition, this separation might come from the
inferiority complex of Delon. One day, Delon says as follows. "She was birth
of the hierarchies I hated most. It is not due to her. But, she had been
educated the way of life of the rank. I was not able to delete the thing
which she lived for 20 years, in five years. There was two Romy so that
there were two Delon or three Delon or four Delon. Even she understands
about that. I loved one Romy above all and I hated alike another one." The
opinion of Romy was not same as this opinion.... - information from " Les mysteres Delon " -

8 2008. And at this night, Delon organized a great his birthday
party at " Hotel Crillon " in Paris. Delon will play with Anouchka in a
theater play beginning in September 2009. So it seems that Anouchka is
currently following theater lessons at the well known theater center " Cours
Simon ". It seems that Anouchaka has one green eye and one brown. -
information from Ms. Marie-Claire -
One day in 1966 when Delon decided to leave Hollywood,
tragedy happened. When his pet dog "Blend" crossed the way of the Beverly
Hills, the dog was run over by a car and has died. On that day, Mr. and Mrs.
Delon held a party, but the party was left off for this accident early. The
agent of
Jane Fonda presented Alain a wonderful shepherd named " Shirley " to
soften pains of him. This dog will live in Tancrou with Delon's other dogs
soon.
It seems that Alain Delon has a part to be attracted by
a criminal. Delon has supported a Japnese yakuza ( gangster ) put in Poissy
jail by an illicit sale of heroin. This yakuza was released in 1982 after
all, but he returned to Japan, he was considered to be the material witness
of the picture robbery of Corot. And also it seems that he acted as a
bodyguard when Alain Delon went to Japan. According to a rumor, Alain Delon
and the man were taken a photograph twice at the entrance of a certain shop.
In Tokyo, this man behaved as a representative of Alain Delon Diffusion. But
when Delon took a question about this matter by the correspondent of the
Japanese commercial broadcasting in Beijing in 1987, Alain who came for
promotion of " Paroles de flic " denied the companionship with this yakuza at
all. - information from " Les mysteres Delon " -
In 1995, Delon who became chairman judgment of the
cesar movie festival did end the work off with a drinking party in famous
restaurant " Fouquets " of the Champs-Elysees that himself became a regular
customer. The title of his movie was attached to the menu of the day
entirely. " Samourai ( truffle and the salad of spring vegetables ), " La Picine " ( a dish simmered in white wine of the scallop ), "Monsieur Klein" (
tongue of the calf with Morchella esculenta ), " Notre Histoire " ( cake ).
However, in this evening, Delon was informed of that a documentary named " Nico
Icon " was filmed in Germany, and the charm of the dinner was reduced to
half. Because, this news was bad for him. It was a movie about German singer
Nico who died in 1988. In her life, she was a lover of Delon for several
months. They met at the filming " Plein Soleil". When the filming was over,
Alain and Nico stayed in New York. They participated in a cocktail party
together. In 1962, such two people's son was born. Movie director Nico
Papatakis ( Her stage name comes from his name ) became the eyewitness of
this childbirth. He tells that " One day she called me. I fall in love with
somebody and become pregnant. I intend to bear. She said that she wanted to
acquire the recognition of father. It meant the recognition of Alain Delon.
I asked her that he intended to really recognize, then she answered me that
『 Of course, he intends to marry with me 』 " But, Delon who finished the
filming " Le Guepard " did not show interest in her childbirth at all. He was
going to let understand her it was how ridiculous request through a friend.
Several months later, she with Aaron who was 2 years old visited the studio
where Alain filmed " L'Insoumis ". The reason was persuading him. However, two
days after, she was told that "If you try to meet Alain, it will be a
scandal so such a wish is to throw it away ! " from George Beaum who was a
personal manager of Alain in those days. Therefore she decided to bring a
fight into a trial. However, Alain does not still recognize. She lost the
trial. Nico who held a post concurrently of child care and a singer,
has been tired to go with Ari to an airport and hotel. In this way, she
decided to leave her son to Edith Boulogne who is Alain Delon's own mother.
Edith loved and brought up Ari like her own child, and thought to give Delon
family name to him, but she gave Boulogne family name which was the current
husband name, after all. If it gives Delon family name to him in the present
situation, Ari becomes Alain Delon's legal younger brother, that is to say,
Ari becomes to be not Delon's son. From such a consideration, he was named
Boulogne. Edith gives severe opinion to a documentary film of Nico about own
son Alain. " I live very plainly. Society thinks that Delon lets me live in
the castle, and I employ a servant. " And about she adopted Ari," He was 2
years old when he came to my house. He jumped in the arm of my husband who
sat down, and his shriveled figure strongly touched our heart. When I met my
son ( Alain ) again, I believed that he recognized Ari as a son and I did
not doubt it. ( Ari was already in my house for two years before. ) But,
when Alain knew that I adopted this infant, he called me through his office
and he said that chose child or him either. My husband promoted to say to
Alain 『 You can live alone, but this child can not get up yet. 』" In
addition, she talks about Ari as follows, " Before we adopted him, he did
nomadism to move here and there where Belgium and so on, with mother. Ari
has eaten only potato chips at a station and an airport. One day, mother of
Ari brought an orange from U.S.A. It is an orange ! I exchanged looks with
my husband with being struck clump. I received the orange, but thought that
she was not a common human being. Though, she met her child after an
interval 3 years. I sent a package to her. It has been sent back entirely,
too. She wandered many places from place to place without telling us about
her place to stay. She gave a long letter to me before dying. I entrust Ari
to you. She asked me to want you to bring up Ari in the letter sincerely.
She was a strange person, but I love her very much. I have never met a
beautiful, bright woman like her ever. I feel sad that she had to spend life
full of disturbance. But it is the life. The person has pain and must
live..." - information from " Les mysteres Delon " -
In 1990, Alain found happiness in the new family.
Daughter Anouchka was born between Rosalie who got to meet in 1987. There
was an age difference of her 30 years old, but he assumed it the secret that
himself became younger. He answers an interview as follows " I will advise
it. It is to live with person who is younger than yourself. It is only
secret for keeping youth forever." In addition, he revealed about he was
chosen the sex goddess of French woman as follows " I always said to the
woman who associated with me that I live for all women." Patricia Kaas who
became a famous singer now, was a lowbrow fan of Delon in the girl days. Her
album " Je te vous " is given to Alain Delon. In contract, Delon answers in a
certain TV program that " She is beautiful. I love her very much." Two days
later, they are taken by a paparazzo when they celebrate a day of St. Alain
in the restaurant " Trente of Fauchon ". - information from

( Alain with Nathalie at Orly Airport on
29th April 1965 )
In June, 1991, " Cine-Tele-Revue " informed that Delon
with Elsa will film " Le retour de Casanova ". How is the meeting of the
actor of such different 2 persons will be done ? This movie seems to become
the topic. It was not thought other than Delon as the part of Casanova for
director Edouard Niermans. The age, clean-cut figure, pride and strong will.
Alain Delon says that " This Casanova must not be always full of vigor.
Because he gets old, and he almost has been in a bankruptcy state. He is 50
years old. In the days of his, there were few people living until this age,
so the reason what this position charmed me is his investigation of
desperate love." And the part of Marcolina was decoded on Elsa who devoted
herself to only a song for a while. The heroine says that " I feel happiness
in what was chosen and I am proud. Myself did not think that becoming to be
a co-star of Delon in a dream sometime either." She looked for an important
role for movie world return several months ago. And she knew that the girl
position urged by Casanova were recruited. And she took an audition without
knowing that the leading role was Alain Delon, and she was selected in
September. Then, what kind of thing will the filming with Alain Delon ? " It
is splendid. When I must take the slightly sensual seductive scene and hard
scene that I am afraid of, he advises me. He encourages me really patiently
when I do not go well." The field of filming atmosphere is soft like the sun
of Province flowing into the Mogere Castle where is several kilos from
Montpellier which filming is performed. Today is only the day which the
field of filming is moved. Approximately 50 extras who soaked apparel of 18th century appear, and in the circumference, an engineer and an
assistant move. Alain and Elsa have a pleasant chat at the place left there.
He seems to be satisfied with a costar very much. Until before this movie, I
did not know Elsa. The director did really splendid choice. This her, she is
already 18 years old. So I will call her a woman. She has the humility of
the big shot and the sense of the actor. She is a genuine artist. I was
really surprised by her." This movie which the budget for 55,000,000 francs
is poured will be certainly the largest-scale work in a French movie in
1992. The filming began on 16th September. At first,
the location will be performed in Montpellie, Aix-en-Province, around Paris
before Venice. Alain Delon says that " This movie will become to be splendid
which deep attachment, trick, agony and bloodshed mingled. It seems to be
totally a romance movie ! " We believed that we already watched all about
Alain Delon. But, he showed it is the actor spirit in the Mogere Castle. We
have already known the splendid atmosphere of the filming spot of this
movie. However, we watched him who burst out laughing with
half-naked there.
By the way, why does Alain Delon wear nothing under a coat ? This answer is
to have been prevalent among Don Juan a certain stratagem in the 18th century. It is that Don Juan who eliminated stole
into the house of the favorite woman and was going to replace a lover. Alain
Delon pretends to be Lorenzi and spends single night with Marcolina. To him
who must escape in the morning, only time to put on the coat of the rival
was had left. This is the reason why Alain Delon stands with half-naked in
front of a door. The director gave instructions to a person in charge for
costume. " It is thought that there is Casanova in nude here. You must
forget to have been it only in time to put on the cape of the rival to him.
It must not see other clothes below. " A certain Japanese woman Hiromi who
is an assistant of the director is just the comfortable eyewitness who
happened to pass by there. Before a filming start, the woman in charge of
the costume revises some costume. Because she draws out a coat to back,
Delon must cover his front with a hat. It is outburst laughter. " I am
surely a sex goddess, but I do not need to show my all to everybody ! "

Romy Schneider 20 years old, Alain Delon 23 years old.
Two persons' smiles gave glory to the top of every journalism. She is a
favorite child of Germany. He already won fame as a seducer of the French
movie world, and the young women gave heat to him. They co-star in "
Christine " of the director Pierre Gaspard-Huit, and they became the couple
who decorated the gravure with 60s most. Alain Delon told the encounter with
her, love of five years and how was parting, this sentence was written ten
years ago, and it is just a very impressive record. At first, I must
confess, I thought that I had already known everything about all about love
before meeting Romy. And, at 22 years old, it became impossible that I had
attachment to somebody. I was very busy for my carrier which just began and
it seemed difficult to make such me a captive even if it was a matchless
beautiful woman. However, I denied thought of such me as if fate let me
totally get a slap. I had already taken three or four movies and succeeded
all at that time, then a certain producer decided to let Romy Schneider and
me co-star in " Christine ". When I met her for the first time, I cursed the
photographers who were going to put a moment of this " history " in the
camera while I thought that it was courtesy, and I held a big bouquet, and
waiting for her in an airport. When I considered eyes of Romy of the
reputation to let a producer earn large sum of money for the first time, I
understood that she was a pure, splendid girl full of curiosity and passion.
I was afraid of the self-importance like " La princess Sissi " but I
realized that Romy in the real life was a soft human being. Loving at first
sight ? It may have been surely so. But I said nothing. I was irritated by
staff pampered a star her and her fancifulness for several days of the
beginning location " Christine " in Vienna. However, her mask did not go on
for a long time, too. True Romy whom I took in on the first day was not able
to be covered in the would be dignity anymore. And I came to be convinced
that Romy loved me. Only in this point, I can be said that " Christine " is
a romance movie for me. Romy visited me in Paris when it became to be crank
up. And we decided not to be separated forever. The family of Romy did not
feel our this determination too good. She who commutes by airplane to meet
me became to be the target of slander of a friend and French, German
magazine. I became the abductor of the dearest daughter and I was screamed
like a scandal, the rumor did not have the brakes. The parents of Romy who
minded appearances like bourgeoise have begun to be upset. He thought he let
a reporter and world calm down anyway for an important daughter, and to
check this rumor to let announce the engagement with me contrary to the real
intention. The thing went in this way. The father of Romy called a king of
Hotel world called whole European reporter to the mansion which the mother
Magda Schneider of Romy shared with him in Lugano. I can not still forget
the rush of the reporter on this luxurious day. However, Romy and I whom it
was all only to love each other, thought this luxurious engagement to be
direction to satisfy curiosity of the world at that time. Contrary to this
play, our love was totally free, and it was splendid. We got engage while
all participants were satisfied and we were happy...hen, it may seem why did
I refuge the marriage. Because Romy was a race same as me, in other words,
she did not leave herself who was an actress while loving me. Besides, she
challenged a harder position, and she was the actress who prayed that she
wanted to always grow up. We loved, but their greatest aim was carrier as
the actor. Romy was a scholar of principle of perfection. And she wished
that she worked intensely. When I talked with friends about that, I was
convinced that her fate was becoming to be a great actress, it is not become
to be Mrs. Alain Delon. Would she suffer from conviction of me ? It may be
so. A woman has mysterious one side. If I proposed marriage to her formally,
she may have thrown her carriers. I wanted to propose marriage to her many
times. I still remember the evening of that June. Romy and I who did not
meet each other for several weeks due to work, was able to meet only them "
hideout " in Tancrou at last. It let me suffer to be separated from Romy,
but there was the Romy besides me on that day. I thought suddenly, " Why do
I work so madly ? without her between most time, without building the
family. I thought it is wise to say Romy that 『 Let's marry. And you and I
will go with other thing takes the course of natural. Let's spend our love
to our child. 』" The day was going to begin. I felt necessity of the
decision. I intended to say that if I throw a pebble at the window of the
room of Romy, and if she appears, " Come on immediately ! Let's announce our
marriage everybody ! " Yes, I intended to say so in the morning of June on
that day. Because, nature was beautiful, she was my fiancé. However, I
merely threw a pebble to a window of Romy. At that time, I was the nearest
marriage with her. It had to be decided naturally fast without all thinking
on that day. But, time passed, and we came back in days pressed again by
work. Nevertheless, one day, I came to select the date of the marriage with
her. Romy decided a wedding dress, and I was going to choose the wedding
ring, too. But I was not able to do yet. Why ? It was because I met one
woman a certain evening. It was Nathalie. I resembled her closely. We felt
the thing preferable. We often pretended to be brother in public and enjoyed
it. We said that " Did you know my younger sister ? " and we burst out
laughing when we had look that people were surprised. We enjoyed it very
much and laughed in this way while we played the brother of the rumor, and
letting people fall. By the way, there is the thing that the laughter
occasionally leads us to the love. It was it to have visited Nathalie and
me. Of course, it was the thing which was hot not to mention parting with
Romy. However, I felt it than I built the family for both her and me while
compromising without damaging our beautiful memories when the which lived
was wise. Romy understood it too.
( Alain with Nathalie )
In June, 1961, Alain and
Romy rested at a temporary house which they owned in Monte Carlo in those
days. It was a short-lived holiday before filming of "L'Eclipse" with
Anthonioni. In July, when his filming began, two people moved to the villa,
Villa Monte Parioli in Rome that a manager borrowed. At the place where a
diplomat and a millionaire usually lived in the depths of the private road,
there were a residence of nobles or a house of Japanese ambassador in the
neighborhood. Because Romy continued working with Visconti in Italy, two
people lived together for a while at the place. In their hideout in this
district where the billionaire lived in, a home help called Agnes took care
of them. Alain liked to joke with this young Italian woman. Whenever Alain
said a joke although she did not understand French, she moved a neck greatly
in backward and forward, she burst out laughing. In addition, this residence
had the splendid collection of books such as Balzac or Proust, but Alain let
bring a record player and a part among his collection of 33 revolution
records 3,000 pieces expressly from Paris. Because they were free on Sunday,
they got on a white Giulietta and went to swim to the shore Anzio where was
30 minutes from their residence. On the way, people called him "Rocco ! ".
Alain answered them in fluent Italian and thanked it. When it is spring,
Cannnes Film Festival is held, and in the interval of the party staying in
Cannnes, Alain visits to a few friends. He mets Charles Marcantoni and Mr.
and Mrs. Rita, Charles Raffini who got to know several years ago, and Mr.
and Mrs. Tonia. The Tonia couple hurried to Delon as soon as presentation of
" L'Eclipse ". Toniasaid to Delon that he suffered from an intractable disease
and he must cure in U.S.A. Generous Alain Delon lent 7,000 francs to them
immediately without frowning on their demand. In the next year, he meets
this couple at the nightclub that Raffini runs in Megeve frequently, but
according to Delon, the money never returned. Afterwards, the filming of "
Marco Polo " was called the largest scale in film history failed after all.
But Alain Delon made friend with Yvan Chiffre chosen as a stunt substitute
here. It is in Belgrade of the winter. Chiffre caught the telephone from
Alain Delon himself in being surprised in a certain evening. " How is your
hotel ? " " Well OK " " There is space plenty here, so you may come here, if
your hotel is not comfortable. I am awfully boring. I am alone, so do not
mind even if you come here. Places are enough." Chiffre is surprised at
this sudden request. And he was afraid if only himself made acquaintance
with this star when it might be criticized backbiting by a staff friend.
However, Alain Delon of the telephone over there is obstinate. " ! I borrowed
a room for you. I will go there picking up you from now on. " One hour
later, Chiffre was in a luxurious room. Alain Delon showed the kitchen which
shared a room and supper to him. This was an opening of the interchange of
the special privilege of two men. Two people felt a near something each
other immediately. Delon experienced a battlefield of Indochina, and Chiffre
had been to the Algerian war. In the degree that did not become overly
friendly, their friendship deepened. Chiffre felt the special privilege that
star Delon told the movie life for only himself. He answered that " I give
you money, so go to watch my movie after you came back to Paris. " without
doing an unpleasant face even if I said that I had never watched his movie.
In a certain evening, Delon was anxiously. Because one of the reporters of
his friend will come here from Paris to film the making off next day, and
Delon promised him that Delon lodged him. Will Chiffre leave the room ?
Chiffre hears this story and has been offended, but he hands the key of the
room to Delon after all. " What's wrong ? Is it only two or three days ? "
Delon answers. Chiffre recollects. " I did not leave the room anyway. In
that evening, I brushed my teeth and dressed much for a longer time in a
bathroom. Alain laid in a bed and read a scenario. I hated that I shared a
bed same as the person whom I did not know. With a man in particular. I
thought how many woman wanted to be in my position. And I decided to leave
this room. Delon released his eyes from the scenario and said to me that
『 It seemed to be totally a woman to
dress for two hours. 』 I went to my bed and began to read a book. I went to
sleep without speaking each other. Because I was tired. In the next evening,
we talked till late. "
- information from " Les mysteres Delon " -
1996 is the year of Delon. He played " Variations
enigmatiques " at Theatre Marigny after interval of 28 years and took cheers
and he filmed first long piece of Bernard-Henri Levi " Le jour et la nuit "
under Mexican tropical sun. This movie creates a dispute because of
atomosphere and bold scene which planned initiative on purpose but for a
super star like him, it is nice adversely. It seems to be a substantial year
for Delon again in 1997. He plays with Jean-Paul Belmondo in a movie of
Patrice Leconte in May. After that, he performs a drama of Eric-Emmanuel
Schmitt publicly in many parts of the world including Brussels. On the work
side, actor Alain Delon obtained all which he dreamed. A carrier of his 40
years, the image of the magnificent star, do not become out dated. Tv
program " 7 sur 7 " of Anne Sinclair which he appeared as a guest recorded
considerable high television rating recently. And, he causes a disturbance
from Buenos Aires to Berlin. What still drives him ? Perhaps it will be a
pride to want to have the brilliance for suitable him what he likes, to want
to leave an image called the challenger for children. Regardless of slander
... Delon who took a movie of 22 at the beginning of 70's appeared for
three movies in this past 6 years. Delon talked " I can not have the role of
Tancredi, but I am happy that I played Alexandre in 『 Le jour et la nuit 』."
Alain Delon who is 61 years old is still active star and the revolutionary
livingness of Visconti style does not decline. Many years passed with joy
and pains, but this eternity Samourai is still lively and continues being
honest for himself with the eyes which triumphed, quick abilities. It is
like a wild beast is totally in condition to be able to begin to run anytime
in a den. If I say that he does not change at all, it is lie. Now, he has
another hope, need and another priority before. Top priority is the woman
who gave him two splendid children, about Rosalie. He says in the strong
tone that " I somewhat feel punishment when I work after children were born.
What I expect is only that God lends the life to me till they become 20
years old. For the difficulty of the life and the cruelty of the person. I
want to let them make enough preparations and to guard them. " Delon said
that Delon showed that his sense of values namely honor, dignity, friendship
are not simple words for beloved child, Anouchka and Alain-Fabien. " The
present society is full of the corruption. This century is too terrible.
There is not respect heart. The earth becomes no use. The only window opened
in the future is a family. It is the priority of the life. " The
love ( Anyone has each way to catch for this word.) is still his main
driving force. " You must have a little daughter with age of 60 years old to
understand that I feel it. When I get the life and a career by success and
failure and discovered this harmony overnight, a person will continue
admiring it." He who like to give something more than to get something, and
is weak to surprise, lost voice when his children went up to the stage of
the theatre Marigny to celebrate his birthday on November 8th
" At the time of greetings, I saw that the whole audience stood
up a hand by a candle, when I suspected that something was performed, where
I did not know, I became to be glad and turned around with surprise.
Children hold a lot of flowers in a hand. It was the greatest happy moment
in my life. It was the impressive shock for me, I knelt in their arm, then
my daughter asked me that
『
Why do
you cry ? 』I said that
『 My beloved child, I am happy.
』" - from the article by Ingrid Fallay -
Alain Delon was compared to a wild wolf and nobody knew
he could love people. But does nobody know actually how the wolf lives in a
den ? In addition, nobody knew the days when Mireille Darc wandered in the
edge of life and death, and how hard it was for Delon. There is surely
something which does not indicate the bottom of the heart in his expression.
But the eyes poured by her who was postoperative offered a glimpse of deep
love to this delicate woman and immeasurable fear for the loss. Delon knew
that Mireille suffered from a mitral stenosis by the deformity of the heart
since she was born. She who was high of the pride avoided a groans, she did
not need to talk about it by herself, but at hiking she can not follows his
pace and such a situation which she have to take a rest with being pale,
repeated. He worried, but she let him feel relieved. Their life like this
continued till her pain would be beyond a level of the patience on December
30th, last year. They were at their residence in
Douchy on that day. After Mireille made a Italian pasta which the special
favorite of Delon, they took the dinner at the kitchen for celebrating the
arrival of the New Year. They sat down on a sofa near the fireplace and
talked. Mireille held both her hands to her heart suddenly. And her lip was
opened to breathe air hard, but she lost consciousness without speaking and
fell down. Alain was going to be calmed himself, and was going to serve
Mireille whiskey. Because, whiskey is effective in opening an artery. And he
called the specialist of the heart trouble. The doctor examined her by a
stethoscope immediately, and gave a diagnosis as follows. " Her condition
will be always accompanied with crises unless a doctor do a surgical
operation. I think that the frequency of the stroke increases from now on. I
do think that she may reach death. " Nobody knows when Mireille made up
her mind to have an operation as expected. She confides it to friends at
least when she did astrology before hardening determination. She believed a
horoscope rigidly and visited a few famous astrologers. The same day was
said to be good by all of them on a day of the operation of valve symptom
substitution. It was the day of the saint Felicite on Friday, March 7th
. Dr. Cabrol in charge of the operation took her demand. Then, until the day
to be hospitalized to Le Salpetriere hospital with the name of real name
Mireille Aigroz, she concentrated on work and was going to untie feeling of
strain. She devoted herself to a bargain sale of eau de toilette " Alain
Delon " which was made from a lemon, an Italian orange, black pepper, white
time, sage, basilica and she realized the success of the article in Italy,
Switzerland, U.S.A. She wrote a scenario and she participate in editing, and
she took part in a private preview a night. She did not want to be in
hopeless uneasiness alone. Alain was besides her frequently, but he did not
have to read a shadow of the fear to her eyes, and she did not want to let
worry about him who was going to hide uneasiness hard. They kept on hiding
this long hardship from all people well. Even if it was operation the
morning of the day, Mireille said nothing, but she appealed with eyes when
an anesthetist approached. " I am in your hand. I trust you. " What Delon
was impressed most was that it was reencounter in the ICU that Mireille
spent three days. Under an oxygen tent, he saw the transparent white face of
the dearest woman in the world. From her chest which the heart should have
beaten against, two cords appeared and were able to be connected on the
appliance which adjusted a pulse. From her chest which the heart should have
beaten against, two cords appeared and were able to be connected on the
appliance which adjusted a pulse. She said as a joke later as follows. " I
lived only with two cords. " She awfully suffered after the
operation for one week. Because it is not given the patient who took a
heart-lung machine operation a lot of pain-killers, it is possible for such
a patient only to groan, and to suffer. Mireille did not raise a voice, but
when a nurse entered the small room of Mireille suddenly at the La
Salpetriere hospital, there was often that it happened to meet her whom pain
looked for a posture to soften a little and sat down on a bed, and got down
on all fours. She who had high pride, refused the help of the person. She
was a bad patient, she hated spending it slowly, she was going to get up
from a bed to revive vitality as soon as possible. She was not able to sleep
for a few days. A common thing for the human being who experienced it
returning to life from the beyond, the sleep resembles death so a person is
worried about sleeping unconsciously. 12 days later, Mireille came home to
apartment at quai Kennedy in Paris with her leg without taking the ambulance
and the nurse. When she entered the bed room, the innumerable bouquets and
letters from a friend and a fan waited for her return there. Now, they come to Douchy from a few days before. They are going to
take a rest of two months from now on in a big house of 55 hectares among
these trees. A cardiologist comes regularly and records progress of her
recovery. She lost 5 kilos, and the heart narrowed, too. As for her,
livingness returned to eyes, but it understands that after all it still
considerably become weak when it watches her side view and languor of the
action. She is only forgiven to take a walk a little, she does not seem
still to take a walk with her pet dog of Malinois, Luppy for a while. Alain
manages the rest so that Mireille does not do careless about health things.
And she may return to the studio which went away for heart trouble two
months later. And she may be able to follow loving his pace without being
out of breath. Now, she reads "J'aime la vie " written by Christine Arnothy.

embody the leader of the " Gang from Lyon " in a movie directed by Olivier

Alain who can become the character of Proust, who likes
to collect the memories, holds trace of the happiness of the past and
present through a photograph frame scattered in the rooms of the house all
the time. He is proud of this photograph collection. Even if it does not say
all, most are monochrome, and every aspect of the existence called him is
condensed there. There are them on the wall, the study room, screening room,
projection booth, the billiard room, his bedroom and the bedroom of
children. It is Carlos Monzon having a visit in the cell of the prison of
Santa Fe. His guardian Edwige Feuiller in the movie world. The one of the
dresses of the feel such as the peach skin that a designer is going to let
her try it can let a finger slide and says that " There is fluency of Delon
style to this dress. " with a state absorbed in to be deep in thought. Romy
and Brigitte who became neighboring in dinner in Saint-Tropez in the
location of " La Piscine ". This is the only photograph which these two
stars appear in together. Mireille who watches training of Jean-Claude
Boutier. Anthony of the baby held in the shoulder and the arm of his father.

crowdedly. In country residence " La Brulerie " which is not so far from
Yonne river, Alain who is faithful to a photograph, lives a life with his
rhythm. He lies in the swimming pool standing still midmost of a deep blue
very large lawn, and among 2 dogs ( There are 14 other dogs, such as a
mongrel, Doberman, Shepherd, Mastif, Belgian, Malinois. They are unrelated

Where are you now Alain ? I do not watch you for many
centuries anymore. There is nothing. There is not even the telephone. I have
blanks among us. It is having heard nothing from the day when you parted
from Mireille. There was neither the hostility nor the quarrel. I did not
say about you anything or did not write you. And you did not do such a thing
to me. Nothing. Other than a blank. Of course, you are a celebrity so I
heard you by a rumor and watched you on TV many times. I read the
state of your 『 Love 』 with a newspaper. ( I had a hard fight to choose this
word. ) And I saw the thing what regarded you as a kind of myth and also
being obstinate like a shellfish ( want to see whether there is a pearl
inside ) at the same time to be like liberation, what is the thing doing you
to the strange mixed human being who is not opened with any knives. There
make you a star. With your appearance – like temptation to completely
paralyze a woman with your past with progress of the time. Failure and
success of your movie. The way to get your viewpoints letting the
circumference bewilder sometimes. The miscellaneous image that you send to
people. There are not problem at all. You are a star even you are at the
top, or you are in the center of the disturbance of the life like storm. It
is not rational but it is so. The person called you attracts a person and
lets you cause interest and refusal becomes the object of admiration, and
lets a person get absorbed. It is not only due to being an actor, but the
result of your love life, and also it is not only due to having the face as
a businessman, but you are a collector buying and selling art works with
extraordinary sums. It is due to the person called you. It is due to the
character that is full of contradiction what you live with such intensity
and faithfulness. You behave without a careless mistake so that some
ordinary thing comes. The expression without a careless mistake may be
wrong. Because what you have is not calculation. It is an explosion and the
chain reaction of being impossible of control or the reaction is not
controlled. It is self – praise fanned in nature – like pride and a
ferocious self – destruction. There is a splendid animal in you
while being obstinate. It seems that the insects eat their foot to escape
from a trap when they were caught in the trap. You are such a type, too. You
are stuck in the trap and you cut off the part and you can escape from a
trap. And you curse all something which you can not understand by even
yourself while going to the den by lying prone slowly. The life, fate, a
person. You are a scorpion in the scorpion. You love yourself to destroy
yourself and destroy yourself to love yourself. And the people who are in
the circumference or the people whom you put your circumference until you
throw away can not escape the sudden change of your character. As a result,
it produces a legend. And the legend spreads out, and you are slandered. You
say that anyone does not understand me, or nobody have understood me, then
you close a curtain by a usual pattern and shut yourself up in loneliness,
the den. Only your dogs like you. You get into the corner and lick your scar
and you feel a strange pleasure to this work because you like taste of your
blood. There is one side of Carlos Monzon in you. It is not accidental that
you like work boxing to catch and to give a cruel punch. Especially Monzon.
It is not accidental that you like the super champion whom one day threw
away his wife, glory and his life from a window, the head was crazy like the
panther in Pampas. He charms a person automatically and troubles it. I
heart not only the talk that your work did not go for well ( Because your
picture sale is no good and your fail by the latest movie and receive the
terrible evaluation. ) but also such a rumor. ( It is entirely talk in
Paris. ) You pose as
『 Alain Delon
』
, no, you pose
『 Mr. Delon
』gradually. You do not hear the talk
of other people and shut yourself up in the concavity of the bunker. You
switch over from De Gaulle to Jack Lang, continue moving from France to
Switzerland, from Switzerland to Paris, from Paris to Marrakech, Marrakech
to Bretagne. And also I heard that you suggested that you were concerned
with the contest. Myself completely send trust to character of your Monzon.
The failure of your heart ( You are not without a crime in this either ), a
terrible 『 business
』and a mean scramble, failure and
success in your work, the waking to the beautiful picture which lacked in
order ( It was whetted later ), sports, a dog, passion to Manu ( The huge
dog which you grieved over ). Because there is too much it, I omit the rest,
but you die in this way and revive. You trust like a maniac. And you take a
mistake depending on a feeling of praise and the will, and you do not accept
it and forget, or you remember it, and intrude without preparations, and
sometimes you excel, sometimes you are disappointed then you burn up again,
you are wise to a person and yourself then you show me terrible ignorance
and blindness. Where do you go to now ? I do not know that. What I am
convinced of is that you go somewhere. It does not stop you as even if a
woman, the love of the family, the friendship, any kind of power of the
world either. You shouldered fire to blaze and were born. If you run so that
you put it out, the fire lets you lively overflow. And it continues because
you are not the man who jumps into water to put out fire. It goes ahead to
bad course. It goes ahead to good course. Where are you now ? My brain
becomes full of chaos when I always think about you, but my brain is a
memory becoming full of chaos and the friendship for you when I always think
about you. It often confuses my mind. Because I do not understand whether I
want to really see you again anymore. In the way like you, I jump off a
window in pursuit of your shadow, I catch your sleeve and detain you for put
lead to join with gold in your head. - information from the article written by
Frederic Musso in Paris Match 13 Dec 1990 -
Caroline de Monaco " I wrote a letter to you, queen." –
Alain Delon – I wrote you , queen a letter again. The reason is I
wrote it "again" is I have written it before. I do not know it whether you
remember it, because there was not an answer. ( My
handwriting is regular
and tends length is long and inclines diagonally in writing character. ) I
do not know whether this first communication arrived with you. Of course, I
was impudent, too and I forgive the permission of you out of consideration
for respect to you. 10 years or more ago, I was in Monte-Carlo when I held a
boxing championship. In the return match Monzon versus Benvenuti, you were
in my several lines front with your family. Benvenuti lost by KO in Round 2.
When the whole hall stood up and stared at the ring, and a count left every
moment, and a gong sounded, it was with the storm of cheers to the winner.
Monzon triumphed like a wild beast after having run as fast as he could. We
praised him but I felt that somebody cut the wave to a ring suddenly. It was
you. Our eyes matched just for an instant. As if, as for it, I who is an
actor and you who are a queen were a momentary acquaintance out of the
public place. You were beautiful fantastically. You finished childhood and
let you foresee with the smile as the woman. I wrote a letter to you as
follows the next day. 『 Queen, the dukedom are really blessed that there is
a beautiful princess like you. 』 I wonder if I expected an answer ? It is
right. From this moment, I have a kind of love towards you, queen, I chase
an episode concerning your life heartily in the distance. The hard episode
and also happy one. It is because I shared those eyes that only a girl shown
a man. Then, we always met each other accidentally, didn't we ? We met in an
official party and the backstage of the acquaintance. One evening, we ate at
Maxim, didn't we ? You who were wise always did the attention to other
people, and you knew a lot about the world of the actor who was my work, and
you were rich for art and the passionate interpretation about the life. You
were right you as surroundings thought. No, above it. You did not touch
about my letter. The queen's work is hard work. It is same being as a star
is difficult. And, queen you are a star and you are a queen. It is how hard
to take the duty as the public person, and to take responsibility that eyes
of people are always poured, and I understand it than whom. I know what
strength to cover up agony and the smile to cover uneasiness. I always
recollect you. Because, I know your challenge. Queen, the dukedom has such a
splendid woman and is really endowed. - information from Paris Match 6

One human being is not a great thing, if I compare it
with these innumerable galactic nebulas. A person and a star are made of the
same fine particles. We are children of the stars in anyone. We will live
together. Why is an article lifeless by insanity ? Barbarian Capitalism.
Information – intensive society. There are a horrifying thing, a crime every
day. Communication decreases steadily and people walk on the Internet like
walking in a cloud, and the people settle a fortress for a heart and shut
themselves up. For me, the most splendid thing in the world is being with my
family. Rosalie, two children, dogs, a bird, sparrow Peewee. - Alain Delon

Frederic Musso : For you, do you have a meaning
in particular what the shift to a new millennium is ? Alain Delon
: I am not a believer of the chiliasm and even if I do not think God gives a
blessing at the time of round numbers in particular. In the world, it was
made noise
that there was confusion by the year 2000 issue in an airplane, an elevator,
a bank but the most important thing for me is what passes the heart of the
person. The thing does not happen independently. The meanest thing is
insane, and greed for destruction. Please think about being generated in
Chechen, Kosovo, Africa. Pleas think about the issue of heavy oil outflow of
the sea polluting birds, too. If I have a one wish for the future, I think
that I want a politician who has responsibility to understand a fact that
this earth is spoiled by irresponsible people well. In Brazil,
『 The world lungs
』Amazons are destroyed. The
environmental mechanism from old days is going to out of order, too.
Globalization, the issue of oil, warming of the earth... All for money. Even
if an ecologist has of doing it, only a politician can use the true means.
Frederic Musso : Have you wanted to commit suicide ? Alain Delon
: I have
thought it before the birth of children. A person has both the right to live
and the right of receiving euthanasia. When a person understood structure in
the world, and when a person understood that can bring nothing anymore, and
when at the time of solitude necessarily, the person thinks about suicide.
As for me, the suicide is excluded for children now but it is different when
I become the medical problem of the body. I will not wait till the last if I
become bedridden, and cancer metastasizes to a whole body. I do not think
suicide unless it is such a situation. Frederic Musso : You seem to
gain loneliness of Samourai in the body from a core. Do you have a friend
? Alain Delon : I have a longtime friend. They are not necessarily
celebrities. The professor Monod said that " The friendship was allied." A
person always says that " I introduce my friend." or " He ( She ) is my
friend." But I think that there are included different meaning or sound when
a person says『 A friend
』. My dad said that " If there was
only one friend in the world, it would be rich." I like loneliness. It is
not virtue at all. It is my nature. I do not impose it on myself. I am happy
in this. Frederic Musso : You live in the Loire prefecture. Did you
receive the damage of the heavy storm of the other day ? Alain Delon : 400
trees fell down from a root. There are the trees broken like a matchstick.
But I was lucky. My child, my dogs, all were safe. Because a dead person
appeared in France and a house was destroyed. However I was able to become
with anger. The reason is because there was not electricity for 8 days
either. Fortunately, my house had an electrical generator but I can not
still operate it all the time. In the place 100 kilos away from Paris, I was
trouble with the life without the electricity for one week. Because the
President emphasizes in particular it about the public works project that is
the main responsibility of the country, security, a solidarity in a vow in
this country. Frederic Musso : You always showed interest in politics. You
seem to have a global field of vision now. Will it be the wisdom of age ? Alain
Delon : It is the only possible field of vision today. ( He looks for a
photograph on the desk. It is the galactic photograph which has against the
background of night blue, the caption which has called
『 You are here
』which it was to be fool, to be
blinded ) - information from Paris Match 20 Jan 2000 interview by Frederic Musso -
( Alain and Nathalie with their son
Anthony in mid 1960's )
Alain Delon : When I think of our country, I become
sad. This country seems to have lost working, making something, the joy of
living. Everybody thinks about only obtaining consecutive holidays.
Consecutive holidays of the May Day, consecutive holidays of Victoire (
Victory )..... Our victory will be still long. Arthur Conte : Revival has
the French essence. The first law of the French history is so. France causes
a bright miracle the next moment whenever France is stalled and is
depressed. France has a big problem, but I do not surely lose trust to
France at all personally. Alain Delon : But it is often too bad this time.
I feel have a bigger scar than used to be. I wonder if I should say how, do not you think this country has
lost muscular, soul. Or will it be wrong expression that is poisoned ?
Arthur Conte : Do you say such a thing ? I thought you always to be the
person who put success on success with full of vitality and continued film
making energetically. Will creation be joy for you ? Why can the other human
beings say that it is not so ? Alain Delon : Can you trust the Mitterrand
President ? I think that he is full of contradiction, and he walks a way
filled with danger. The phrase
『
liar such as Mitterrand
』
will be
done someday. He does all having promised reverse. Such a thing is the first
time. I surely think that his severity, faithfulness deserve an evaluation.
But he does only the promise that is not possible. Arthur
Conte : Actually, he eases a transfer after the retirement by at least three
『 Big businesses
』. Primarily, for at least 50 years,
it will not become the collectivism. Second, he does the leader of the
opposition party wants to do even himself unawares instead. Third, this
point is his contrariety, he teaches people an effect of the liberalism. He
teaches it to people of the opposition party administrative in the
government rather than liberalism. Alain Delon : It is surely so. Will he
look what kind of if he notices his thing doing someday ? But the courageous
people on the faith of him have a pain. Arthur
Conte : Instruction. The person becoming a leader does not a lot of promises
that the person can not keep. Alain Delon : I am annoyed. Because many
people do not become the right wing even if they were disillusioned by
enforcement of the socialism group and Mitterrand. While they are saying to
be disillusioned by Mitterrand, they will not vote for other people.
Disillusionment to the left does not lead to support of the right. I know a
lot of friends who voted for the Veil group without a great reason unwilling
in particular. In addition, there are a lot of people whom they had better
renounce. Arthur Conte : In that respect, it is just what you say.
Alain Delon : But I hold no bad blood in Mitterrand himself. What to be bad is
people of the ex-government which has produced the situation that Mitterrand
holds the government. Arthur Conte :
It will not be to become somehow now. It is already too late, and it is
rather harmful to criticize them now. Alain Delon : It is result of Chirac
and Giscard. Because they still represent right wing as if nothing happened. Arthur
Conte : I am totally reverse to you, and I think that they learned most
through failure. Alain Delon : Do you understand what I imagine when they
talk worthless thing eagerly ? It is totally a quarrel of the woman.
Otherwise it is totally porker. They do not understand what is bet on a
game. Though, it bets the happiness of millions of people. Arthur
Conte : There is no help for it now even if we blame right wing. Let's stop
it. Alain Delon : Yes. But it is only a nonsense quarrel. Always say only
the same thing. Will they notice ? Can not somebody say to them clearly ?
Arthur Conte : Please talk about Le Pen. Alain Delon : There is never that
I thought that I will do a political activity in his party. The combative
politics is not my work. But he has three natures. He has very comfortable
character, he opens clearly that people think secretly, and talks in a
manner different from other politicians. His tone and words are more
stimulating than boring politicians. Arthur Conte : I served a Diet member
at time same as him, too. He is very comfortable human beings and is frank
and is surely faithful to the friendship. But he has few freedom which the
other opposition parties do not have. ( It is rare that an extreme
right-winger rises to the political power, so he has freedom to be able to
say that he wants to say as much as desired ) There is not that he must take
responsibility in the near future at all. Alain Delon : It is so, but it is
surely important that he says that nobody other says. He conveys his
classification clearly. I think that foreign laborers should be respected
and France should accept a useful foreigner. In addition, I think that they
have a right to do the strike for rights. However, I can not satisfy that
they rob the work of the French worker. I think such a thought not to be a
fascist at all. I only talk as an actor and as a producer of the movie Alain
Delon. Arthur Conte : Will it be
said whether you have political ambition ? ( Like an other actor doing
political activities ) Alain Delon : I am realistic. The people praise me
highly if I walk the way and the people demand an autograph and take warm
words to me. But if I stand, I will take the only 1.4 % approximately. I
include it, other many actors give an opinion for the politics. There was
not that a French actor participated in political discussion before.
Arthur Conte : There is uneasiness in the general public now. I see it well
when I give a lecture in French each place. Therefore, even if people
demanded a political opinion to a favorite actor, it is not anything that it
is surprised at. As you said, society wants to listen to testimony of
politics different from the testimony of a professional politician. Alain Delon : I admired De Gaulle. I respected Pompidou. There is a great
difference between them and the party whom we must endure today. I do not
have the political ambition at all. I am enough by a movie. I have not
dreamed like to become Reagan. Besides, Reagan was totally no use as an
actor but he was wonderful as a politician. It was splendid Governor of the
State of California before he became the President and oust bad Carter. I am
not a politician, but intend to speak of having thought about a politician
clearly. Even if they are offended, it does not have a way. Because new
central person is necessary. Arthur Conte : Please do not become so severe.
Valery Giscard d'Estaing is splendid head of state. In the analysis of the
politics in France, he is one of the superior people. Jacques Chirac is the
politician who are full of vitality, he showed the administration ability of
an important plan through a duty called Mayor Paris. In addition, Raymond Barre who does not depend on the demagogy is an extraordinary valuable man
and his existence is felt jealous of from the other countries. Therefore, we
who should be the friend must not attack them. Alain
Delon : Then, who can tell to Giscard when he appears too much in the media
? He should be careful not to mention more public eye. Arthur
Conte : I can say to him anytime. If main election approaches, I meet him as
a true friend as usual and I will do talk strictly. However, his judgment
and analyses are careful. Alain Delon : I have a lot what I want to say
him. I think that it had better be early than it is too late. Arthur Conte
: It repeats itself, in the middle of the fight toward collectivism, the
principle of state control, the factionalism, I think that it is not a good
thought to drive the struggle between democrats. Alain
Delon : I understood it. It is that politicians get united for France to be
important, I want that politicians to be more active on the television,
apart from ready-made words. What I expect is the politician who gets to the
point, talks with passion. I hate that I vote for the person as the robot
even if intellectual. Only a party such as Fabius, Chevenement and Attali (
All of them are all left wing ) is enough as the robot. All of them are
mechanical slaves of the ideologies that became outdated. The person of the
opposition party must not be a mechanical robot. Arthur
Conte : It is judged all through television. Alain Delon : I hardly watch
television. Except a game of the boxing. This became uncommon on TV now.
What I am dissatisfied with most, French champions do not have a spirit and
they can not acquire severe training steadily. Do not you think that
champions symbolize our country ? It can not dominate continuously for a
long term. It is ruined immediately even if it gains wonderful results by
one game. There is not a true man. Only a wimpy athlete is brought up in the
soft country. Although, I watch television frequently, with the degree to
notice the defect of leaders of the opposition party. It is only to be wimpy
what they show on TV. Arthur Conte : You should not only
criticize it. The analysis criticism is easy. It is different if you suggest
a solution and a concrete plan. Alain Delon : Finally, if I must support
somebody, I choose an earnest and strong person such as Pompidou before the
illness. The person whom I like is the person who can say a fact clearly.
Even if the way of speaking is not liked by a person. It is
『 The decisive person
』who can talk about thinking
fearlessly. Arthur Conte : You say you are sad but all your positions in
the movie are sad positions. In addition, your favorite hero seems to be
Attila. Alain Delon : And my favorite musician is Wagner, and my favorite painter is
Millet, I like『 L'Angelus
』『 Les Moissonneurs
』. My most favorite heroine of a
drama is Messaline. I can play more cheerful role. Because, in the real
life, I am a cheerful person. But the good environment is necessary. The
society seems to think I am interested in business but that is not true. I
bear some risks and in the case of the failure, I can take responsibility. I
have not experienced failure as an actor. There is the failure as the
producer in movie 『 Monsieur Klein
』. But I like I always hurl myself,
and challenging it in difficulty. If I was sad, being in a state that the
social situation was wrapped by fog now, and there are too many hypocrites
and calculating, malicious people, deceptions. I hate deceptions too much.
In the human good point, what I like most is not a hypocrite. Therefore, I
like dogs. Because they never betray me. - information from the dialogue
with Alain Delon and Arthur Conte in Paris Match 18 May 1984 -
( Alain Delon with his dog in 1963 )
Two dogs which are black in a room. They are noble and
wariness is high, but they are sometimes to be often moved to tears. Left
one of them is MANU, 7 years old. Right one is Alain Delon, 48 years old.
All two of them is extreme loneliness state. A thing such as love from the
love from father to a son, a son to divorced father is born. MANU which was a
dog of
Mireille Darc and lively dog continued giving willpower to het during
illness, but the symbolic couple of the French movie called
『 Darc-Delon
』
has been over now. It is a suitable
victim of a newspaper, a magazine and the public who likes a rumor. "How
does the image called the beautiful couple whom you gave ?" " I do not give
the image. People only made a fuss with being opposite to my will
arbitrarily. Therefore it is that you who watched such me are careful to
keep the private life. I do not change my life anymore. I do not have my
life anymore. It was not the life of two people anymore, and the thing to be
able to call the life has disappeared." The pains of a hurt man. A look same
as a pet dog. And the frankness that we are puzzled over. " My work,
especially my business seems not to be better anymore now, so possibly the
different part may not be worse. Because, on the other hand, the life gives
luck and comes to take over luck in the other." " Do you feel the life took
over Mireille Darc from you ? " " I was not able to stop that the life took
her out of me but there is the different bond that should be left all the
time among us from now on." It is assumed I respect the bond, the society
wants to merely say as follows for Alain Delon. Possibly he is toxic and may
bully all touching him. This scorpion knows it well and will affirm. And he
adds it as follows. " I injured
『
People 』, but I think that I worked
as a lot of good things. I am said so too. " Of course,
『 People
』, it is an women. And probably, at
first than other whom it will be one woman called Romy Schneider. During
this 3 hours interview, he totally talked about her like an incantation many
times in spite of my having never given her name. He yearns bitterly for the
world of this actor which took her whom him and cognate her who understand
each other. " She became not able to bear the thing that she obtained it in
exchange for glory, talent, natural gifts, in other words, the eyes of
people. She becomes full of a scar, slits, not only she was torn off a body
parcel and was bared but also she was in condition that she was torn off to
skin. I can not measure her agony what she always felt being violated.
Marilyn,
Bardot, Martine Carol, Jane Russell tasted the same suffering, too.
The actor may not be an occupation of the woman. There are really few people
who can understand this. Romy and Isabelle Adjani are a human being the same
as me but the thing which they got in exchange for natural gifts is such
sacrifice, pains. " By the blue gray eyes, I see some drops of water
probably because he recollects Romy Schneider. To circumference, the
photograph of this late actress is displayed in many places. The photograph
of his favorite is the thing when she came back to France for filming of
『 La Piscine
』. He waited her at Nice Airport.
She smiled greatly. 『 European young
fiancés
』meets again, Romy Schneider
who was avoided by a movie fan draws the second bright carrier afterwards.
Alain Delon talks about her again. While antagonizing the age that is strict
with an actress. " When I watch actresses make up and they do a sorrowful
fight, I think that there is always terrible unfairness to age. Now I am 48
years old and I can say my age magnificently. I feel my age to be the eyes
of the people at first, but there is not the different state at all for the
moment. " The life of Alain Delon does not have a sideways movement
state. There is only a change and probably there is always only being
lonelier and lonelier and 『 Wild 』new turning points. Total analysis,
examination, a re-start, the reflection do not suit him. Only he pushes
forward, it is him to never regret even the failure. " There is not one
movie which I appear and regretted. I have never appeared unwillingly and
never appeared under coercion. I have sometimes taken the wrong choice of a
theme and the production team but I always decided all it by oneself. There
is the person who really says that 68~70 movies which I appeared are not
only the detective movie like a surprising fact but I took all kinds of
movies for the class of every visitors. Memory of the people is always
confined to the last movie. Therefore, please remember that there were a
director Melville's work or
『 Le
Guepard 』,『
Le Professeur 』,『
Mr.Klein 』,『
Rocco et ses Freres 』Visconti,
Melville are the great master that he never forgets. There is a photograph
of Visconti which he took it by himself and the megaphone which this
director used by early movies such as
『
Ossessione 』or
『 Rocco et ses Freres
』. In addition, the dedicatory
letter written by Jean-Pierre Melville as
『
By the first movie which I produce not direct, I want to see your expression
like this. 』on a photograph which
Delon glued to the eyes lens of the camera is put. When I read this
dedicatory letter, I can understand well the dedicatory letter which Alain
Delon sent to the first picture of his own first direction work
『 Pour la peau d'un flic
』. There are two photographs as
others in as the home and as the apartment and as his office in the studio
of Boulohne. One of them is the postcard of a wonderful photo of Jean Gabin
which he wore a soft-felt hat with linked the thin lip, and other one is the
photo of Dalida di Lazzaro. As Joseph Losey and Luchino Visconti longed for
Proust, Alain Delon appeared in
『 Un
amour de Swann 』( This movie is
really shown with a title called
『
Notre histoire 』.) of the director
Volker Schloendorff as a memory of Visconti recently. It was decided on part
of Swann = Delon, elder baron Charlus = Brando as casting, later for a while
and with the theater poster, Delon became thirdly following Jeremy Irons and
Ornella Muti . He says that there is not the great thing ? Before this movie
exhibition, he will finish taking
『
Chambre a part 』of Bertrand Blier by
costarring with 『 actress Nathalie
Baye whom he is conscious very much
』like
Romy Schneider and Shirly Mac Laine. And after the little, he will finish
taking 『 Lune de Miel
』( What thing is it to change
original work 『 Lune de fiel
』of Pascal Brukner in such a title.
The people of the movie world likes believing in omens. ) of the director
Andre Techine too. Perhaps Chatherine Deneuve will be appointed as a
co-star. In addition, Alain Delon which does not want to become 『 the public
employee of the movie world 』in the meantime either, will lay emphasis on
business. Because so that, the face of the third of this man, he calls
himself it, is 『 the businessman 』. He passes through a horse, a boxing, a
helicopter, until he takes his heart again by a new something, the perfume,
a clock, a scarf, a tie, a belt, a shirt of the Alain Delon brand spread out
in 94 countries. He went back to his own country the other day from Japan
and Hong Kong, he attended at the cocktail party with saleswomen in those
places and he became the first overseas star who charmed them. He went to
U.S.A. for the early autumn too. ( His brand is sold in a department store
in U.S.A. ) In addition, we can purchase a product for New East, United Arab
Emirates, South America and in Switzerland which is placed his main office
and is the first market for him. It was not taken so seriously in France so
he waited for demand. France is the country where wariness is particularly
strong in which business is poor and succeeds too much. Alain Delon always
hates a French such mentality of the livelihood protection receipt posture.
" Needless to say, it is responsibility of the left. This problem has
already begun since the age of Giscard. Please look at this state.
Narrowness of the thought, evil-mindedness, jealousy and it is what
contradiction. The government is going to continue reconstituting a family
base and legalizes abortion and adulthood 18 years old. An advertisement
sticks to the walls in Paris like flypaper. " " Then, like other people,
should not you do a political commitment for politics positively, too ? " "
No, I am an officer, a general, a human being of the scene model with the
character that the Cartesian does not compromise with. I am not a
politician. In addition, which party should I belong to ? A political party
is not missing. It is an excellent talented person to be lack. I would reach
him to an end of the world if there was general De Gaulle now. Now,
including Mitterand who fought against him, all are modeled general De
Gaulle after all. I liked Pompidou, too. In the society, he was said to be
the President of the only connection but I think that I want a connection
like him again. " The thought of Alain Delon escalates and reaches resonance
to the extreme right. " Please do not say that it is a courageous act to
show without hiding thought of an extreme right. If courage is to say
clearly that a people think secretly, the people who only think secretly
will be coward. " When Alain Delon begins a moral talk, the side
hearing is seized with the feeling that wants to preach the responsibility
as his member of society a sermon. There is just a poster of our overhead
latest movie 『 Le Battant 』. It seems to praise violence in a hand with a
pistol. Alain Delon answers and says. " Our movie is harmless. The reality
may be often severer than fiction. Spaggiari case, mail train case, and the
thing which it in TV news. " " Then, the point it is assumed that 100%
listened to what you say, to arrive at your son Anthony is ? " " Of course,
I have responsibility as father. I should use amiability whether I should
have exposed it by power or I should use dignity whether I should exposed it
kindly, what I think while being irritated is hot. It is not an easy thing
that there is in
『 son of Alain
Delon 』, but it is not an easy thing
that is in 『 father of the son of
Alain Delon 』. I am used to
patience. Because I am a strong human being. " Alain Delon continues. " It
is to be related to you, Patrick, a strong human being. The person doing
good work becomes the topic. The man appear in the ranking and he is called
P.P.D.A.
( It is the listener of this talk Patrick Poivre d'Arvor. ) in the
papers and called Bebel ( It means Jean-Paul Belmondo. ) and encounter
jealousy and a grudge and it will be drunk in a wave of the interest in
various meanings of people. He will withdraw into himself. And he will feel
that I am lonely at that time. The person understanding it is very few. I
want to say that 『 Shut up. Do not
make a topic what you do not know !
』"
And Alain Delon to talk about Romy Schneider again which does not leave the
head. " When a person who is in loneliness for a long time, the person is
attacked by pains and sometimes results in death. She died in weakening. It
is her disease name. " " Do you have such a thing ? " " Yes. But perhaps I
will not become the situation same as them. I have male special energy. If I
decide to die, I do decisive action immediately. I had the time of the
agony. I wonder if there is the person without having said that
『 I want to commit suicide
』in normal men. " It is lines of
Alain Delon whom this puts the rosary with the cross in an attaché case for
business, and it carries. ( Patrick suggests that it is the thing which
rosary is Christian, and is feminine and points out the contradiction with
the remark about his suicide. ) He noticed that I noticed the contradiction
and he looked awkward, but he did not say anything. The rosary of the cross
does not match his blouson, blue jeans, key hung by a belt, bracelet made of
the hair of an elephant. It does not match his strict lifestyle that he
drinks neither the cigarette nor the liquor, and he does not consume lunch,
and he does not exercise to end either. In the next to us, MANU howls. Two
dogs, this MANU and Delon look at each other. The wildcat seems to have gone
too far.
- information from the article by Patrick Poivre d'Arvor in Paris Match 16
Dec 1983 -
( Alain with Nathalie at
the location spot Congo of the movie " Les Aventuriers " in 1967 )
When I met Alain Delon this summer with Christine Angot,
he was in condition not to be able to cover disappointment and the
loneliness in an unbearable occurrence which the parting with Rosalie.
Afterwards, the situation suddenly unfolded, and she who was mother of
Anouchka and Alain-Fabien married another Alain who is the businessman of
eyeglasses. ( Alain Delon did not conclude the marital status with her by
life with Rosalie of 15 years. ) When he comes in this Delon's favorite
restaurant
『 Costes
』
, air always changes. However,
waitresses who contacted him and customers who peeped into his appearance
would not imagine that he was faced the New Year with 12 dogs and a cat with
3 foots ( He picked it up when the cat was run over by a car. ) only alone.
Of course he had a lot of invitations, but he thought as follows. " I want
to go if I do what it is to help a friend working of an emergency health
care service. " There are many people who can savor similar hotness
magnificently in public. But, he can not continue it anymore. Now, he clings
to own
blood relationship which he built in spite of the failure with
partners. In other words, he clings to close three children like brothers
and two grandchildren. He reached the true agreement with calm Anthony who
reminded of him of younger days. He is kind of sweet toward still small
children. And he leaves a message to the answering machine of the mobile
phone of the 12 years old daughter magnificently in the seat of the supper.
Though everybody is surprised at a table, he implores " My dear child. Where
are you now ? When will you call me ? " The younger children lived in the
distant place Netherlands before. Now, his hand does not reach though he
understands that they are near. Paris Match : Please talk about the
early childhood when you are lonely. Alain Delon : I spent lonely
childhood when I was 4 years old because my parents were divorced. I was
taken out as a foster child, and I was brought up in the family of couple
Nero who resigned from Fresens, because my mother made living as an
assistant of pharmacist. I always thought them to be a true family. Paris
Match : Do you think that you starved for love ? Alain Delon : I
fully got the love. However it is thing which is different from the love.
There is a new child in each in my two parents having started the later life
again. Therefore I was let in the dormitory when I became 9 years old. I was
expelled from the dormitory of the Saint-Nichola monastery three times.
Paris Match : You were an unmanageable child, did not you ? Alain
Delon : 『 A terrible child is an
awfully unhappy child. 』I dropped
out this medium grade of the monastery when I was 15 years old and entered
the navy at 17 years old. ( My parent was delight. ) I hated them who
expelled me again but I went to Indochina Peninsula in this way. Paris
Match : You always totally talk about the army like the family, do not
you ? Alain Delon : I am a militarism-like person from a root and I
think that the army is the spinal cord of one country. This army contributed
all to what I took and what there is current me and my success. 5 years army
life taught me respect, rules and strict. I am proud in it very much and I
thank you it. Paris Match : Do not sometimes think yourself is too
too strict ? Alain Delon : As for the public person like me, the
popularity may occasionally go ahead of the person. Delon is beyond Alain. I
continue always carrying loads on my back on a shoulder, and I appear in
many places and must continue playing. I am tired really too much. Therefore
I had to forge an armor. But true I may not be me whom you necessarily know.
I am a complicated person and the person approximately the half-dozen lives
in me. The relation between them is very bad, and it is always a fight.
There are a calm person, a difficult person, an intense person and a tender
person. From there, my blunt anger and sorrow broke my heart, rough
abandonment, suffering are born. Paris Match : Did you become mellow
and natural by having got a child ? Alain Delon : No, I got first
child Anthony 38 years ago. It was a serious affair of my life. But the
history has been repeated there. The relation with mother between me and
child was short-lived and my son belonged under the situation same as the
situation that I was at the age of 4 years old of his age. It was terrible
failure of the life maximum. I caused what I wanted to never have anymore in
what I experienced, it was very hard cruel time. At that time I thought that
" I am not good. If I do anything, it is possible for me only to repeat what
I tasted. " And also this time, the same thing has been right repeated so
that you know. To my 12 years old and 8 years old children. For me, home and
the thing about the children are continuation of the failure. Paris Match
: However, I feel that you and children are bound together in a strong
bond...... Alain Delon : Children are my life. There is not the thing
which is more important than them in the world. In particular, two small
children are so. Anthony already became the good excellent man. The small
children are still in innocent time and they have not suffered. I want to
protect them from pains waiting for in their life. Because their life first
big pains are not death of father, I want to live long as much as possible,
and I want to be stouthearted. Paris Match : I have a feeling that
your coercion disappears in front of them. What kind of father are you ?
Alain Delon : I am always extreme rather I always pretend to be
coercive. I receive kindly anything for children and recognize and do
anything but I become stern suddenly. However, after all I am completely
crazy for children and I am especially so in front of my daughter. I am
going to be the father whom she hopes. Paris Match : It is your new
one side. Alain Delon : No. At the time of Anthony, I was so until I
divorced his mother. When he was 4~5 years old, I was going to be the father
whom he hopes. But after that, I lost him. Because only the expense of
bringing up children and a handkerchief to wipe tears to father were
accepted in the law 30 years ago. Paris Match : You are young father
at 60s. Alain Delon : I am in a strange position what I am a father
at the same time as I am a grandfather. The age of children of Anthony is
almost same the age of their aunt and uncle, that is to say, who are my
younger children. For children, my age is the age of the grandfather. When I
wait for children to come out from a school, I do not feel sense incongruity
because I look outwardly young but my inside is very different from other
parents. Besides, my children go ahead the second generation than me among
Game Boy and DVD. The bringing up child has changed really in old days.
Paris Match : In other words, it means that you can not apply the rules
of the armed forces which you experienced anymore, does not it ? Alain
Delon : Surely. Military service has disappeared now and for youths, the
armed forces only for professionals have been worked. What this rules and
respect of morality were not hammered into equally is deplorable. Paris
Match : Did Anthony and your argument become the topic well before ?
Alain Delon : Relations of a father and the son are always difficult and
it is not the problem only for Delon family. Our problem happened the
awkward age when he was quitted a school, and he refused to enter for
military service, and he became to be rebellious and refusing. When I was 17
years old, I was in the armed forces, but he did stupid thing like a youth
of the age. What he lived with his mother was complicated too. He had to
establish himself and lived while suffering too much because he was the son
of Alain Delon. Actually things may go well due to the strong connection of
a parent. However, there are the false friendship and goodwill of the kind "
it went a nightclub with the son of Alain Delon. " Paris Match : In
a magazine, it was sometimes taken up about a child Ari Boulogne which you
did not want to recognize. Alain Delon : It is already 40 years after
it was turned this hard subject. The court of law should have decided the
decision about this matter 30 years ago. Mireille Dumas and Ardisson do not
understand whether they torment the person. It is terribly criminal. Not
only this young man who already has become a past person is fragile morally
but anyone disappears in his circumference when he was really discouraged
one day. Paris Match : When you are criticized, it is said that you
are fragile, is not it ? Alain Delon : I can not tolerate what is
criticized on my carrier or my work side. I may have you say selfish about
my human aspect. Because I do not mind it at all. But on my work side, there
should be no room for the 99% criticism. Actually, there are very few people
speaking ill as the actor. Paris Match : I think that it is not
helpful in quietism that your schizophrenia of your human side-actor side.
Alain Delon : One day, my reliable friend described me that " Alain
has all talent except becoming happy. " These words let me shiver and I
realized that it was true at that time. A human being is not made being
happiness while keeping success like I continued tasting it for 40 years.
Stael said that " the glory was bright mourning of the happiness. " My
happiness exists intermittently at enchantment, joy, a moment of the
disappointment. Paris Match : These extreme moments did a color
become darker by the work called the actor ? Alain Delon : Of course.
I appeared for 80 movies and the most were the leading role. It may be said
that it is 80 ways of lives. Therefore it is slow that an actor grows old in
comparison with other people. A politician is so , too. Adrenalin does it
well. Paris Match : Can you feel the decline of your body and face to
be hard ? Alain Delon : No, at all. I did not like my figure that did
not accord with my inside at all first. I almost declined make by the movie
but when I was young I had to emphasize an outline with a pencil because I
was a baby face. It is not pain to get old now. Because I must live with
age. When I was 50 years old, I got tired to train body and stopped it. And
I eat a favorite food as much as desired but I do not gain weight. Paris
Match : How do you think about the cosmetic surgery ? Alain Delon
: I think the cosmetic surgery to be the thing for women. Myself never have
it. Because the reason is it understands that it usually had orthopedic
treatment. I can not agree about the man. In addition, I become terrible
when I see, unfortunately, the lip of actresses has swelled up by cosmetic
surgery. I see only such a bad side. Paris Match : Would you talk
about an woman ? Alain Delon : All my lives depends on women. After
the armed forces, my first social life started on the coattails of an woman.
I am a romanticist from a core and I loved women with passion anytime. What
I did in my carrier is for the woman whom all Rosalie, Mireille, Nathalie,
Romy I spent together. I thought I was always the greatest, to be strong
beautifully for them. Because what the important thing for me is the eyes of
the woman whom I love and who loves me, to flow into me. I want to let them
always enchant. Paris Match : Your former partner got married on
December 12, did not her ? Alain Delon : If you do not mind, let me
talk about this after. For a story of so-called
『
commerce marriage
』, I do not want to invoke children and grandchildren. I did a
present best in the world which an woman could do to Rosalie only one year
ago. It is freedom. We really parted at the beginning of summer. She
received this freedom and publicized it. – information from the interview

Paris Match : I heard that you canceled the tour
for a health reason recently. Where is bad ? Alain Delon : It is the
part which was always the weakest in my body. It is a heart. I am proud that
I can share the obstacle of this blood vessel with the French’s best man !
However, I was in the country and he was in the hospital. Paris Match
: You seem to say to your close people that your condition is not good
recently. Why ? Alain Delon : I dislike that I think of myself
miserably. I do not have such a thing. In brief, it is a general thing. It
is a thing such a kind lassitude, time passes, and my friends disappear in
sequence. I get old and my family is scattered. I can not do it when I hear
the story of the family which " it repeated again ". These families have
become " coming apart " before " starting it again " ! Nobody touches it
about this. But this is hard for me almost as same as dying. Paris Match
: Does not it sometimes disturb your reality sense that you became an idol
when you were young ? Alain Delon : Quite the reverse. It
strengthened my reality sense more. If I didn’t have this reality sense, I
would not be so unhappy. Clearness is cancer of the happiness. Paris
Match : I think that if there is a woman beside you now, you take back
happiness surely. Alain Delon : I dream to be so too ! I really wish
it with a whole body ! I wait ! Paris Match : Many women were
charmed by you recently when you appeared on the stage. They were charmed
with rapture and seem to have completely given up ! Alain Delon : It
is surely so. I don’t have that I received many invitations so far as time
doing a play. I get short letter, text message of cell phone, I am appealed
in a roundabout way, I receive an invitation seriously and am tempted
secretly. There can be any kind of thing. With considerable impudence ! It
is surely so. But that’s a way it goes because there are not something taken
my breath away... Paris Match : But you must begin to step on
you one step at time with a thing letting you startle. Or, is the sense an
immediate thing ? Alain Delon : It is so. It was always so. It is
immediate conviction like “ She is ! “ It is one-1000th
second. It is not the thing which does not need for one month ! Paris
Match : Do you imagine that you are with the young woman of 25~30 years
old ? Alain Delon : No. It is kind of a mature person and the person
who knows the meaning of life and parting and who is wise. It is a genuine
woman. The young woman who must teach all is no use. I can’t stand making
believe Pygmalion anymore. Paris Match : Well, you are in
Switzerland or in the big house enclosed with the green. You are in such a
distant place. Do you feel you will be able to have an encounter ? Alain
Delon : No, it will be impossible when I am here. I wait. If it won’t be
so, I will have to finish this my life. Paris Match : Does that mean
that you dir ? Do you commit suicide ? Do you think seriously ? Alain
Delon : I always think so. I imagine a thing at that time. It is more
difficult not to commit suicide. It is difficult to consider more than to
do. It is extremely easy to move to an act. Paris Match : But why
must you commit suicide ? Alain Delon : Because I don’t want to be
downhearted for a mental condition one by one. As you already known, these
three years were very hard time for me. I love two children passionately. I
was too long and looked forward to their father. This severance of my family
hurt me very much. It is unbearable that I can meet them only on the weekend
once in two weeks. I am in such a state though I become 70 years old soon !
Therefore it is reliable that I don’t let God choose the day when I die.
Paris Match : You built the chapel in your site, didn’t you ? Alain
Delon : My chapel is a place of the meditation. I will sleep there. I
hope to be buried there beside the graveyard of 35 dogs. The cemetery is
already dug, too. Paris Match : There do not seem to be many
things which can make you happy. Alain Delon : I don’t believe a
continuous happiness. I experienced a moment of very strong happiness while
I see a child is born and I see that they are brought up among family but
happiness is so as to be intense the later sorrow increases. I am a human
being who has no connection with happiness. Not happiness, I had ties about
success. It doesn’t succeed both Paris Match : You always say
that current you is being, you succeeded and you were able to accomplish by
the grace of only women, don’t you ? Please tell me about it. Alain Delon
: I repeat it, women made present me. I tried hard with rapt attention
because I dazzle them anytime, I want to read that I am the most beautiful,
great and strong in their eyes. I found the driving force which I am this me
and I formed what I should have done in their look, Nathalie who is my first
wife, Romy, Mireille and the mother of my two children. It has never been
still changed, I want to be loved in the same way as the way of loving when
I love somebody. With the best, passionately and enthusiastically...
For 45 years, I wanted to be in the top for them. If I was a politician, I
would be to have aimed at the seat of the prime minister. At least ! If I
was Villepin who was pulchritude like God and if I read " You are wonderful
most, you are great and strong ! " in the eyes of Marie-Laure who is Villepin’s wife, I would become best Villepin. Paris Match :
Your 10 dogs seem to make you happy now, don't you ? Alain Delon :
Yes. In my life, the dogs gave me happiness anytime. They are the same as a
child. A person who dislikes an animal may not understand that I regard as a
dog and child together. But, this is the truth. When there are my children
here, I will have 13 children. When they are in the distance, it is 10
children. My cat increases there, too. For me, both a cat and a dog are
things like the children who bore handicap. They have the merit as the human
beings and they don’t have the bad point of human beings only a little.
Intelligence and perception...however they can express only by a limited
method and they can live only for approximately 10 years. Paris Match
: Pascal Jardin wrote about you that I watched the tears retroactively to
early childhood shined in his blue eyes. Alain Delon : It is so. All
dates back to that time. Paris Match : The child who was left by
parents... Alain Delon : I keep it in mind not to think about it
much. When I go down in grief and I am lonely, I cry my mother who passed
away in my arms while I talk alone. " Why not were you able to love me in
that way ? Why was I a lonely child who was left ? " At the same time, I
think that I was not able to become this me, if I did not have this unhappy
early childhood. Paris Match : And probably you would not be so
lonely. Alain Delon : Maybe ... I am in the feeling that returned
from the miserable family trip that me alone totally survived in the house.
I go to vacance ... and ... there is me who came back the house which
doesn’t change the same as ever and is empty. The house is clogged too much
up while being empty. Buffon said that “ The person dies because of the
pains. “ It is only night that I am happy. When I enter the bed, then my cat
Poupouss who has only three legs climbs up the sheet and calms the body to
around my middle. I put my hand to him and he purrs. The moment, I am really
happy. And I think that I may die ! - information from

Rosalie Van Breemen seems to have married Roverto
Agotinelli who is a banker at a church in Germany on August 2010.
( Alain and Nathalie in Venice 1960s )
Alain Delon appeared
as a passenger in German movie " Die Rote " (1962). German film of Helmut Kautner " Die Rote " ( The Redhead ) was based on the novel by Alfred
Andersch, and was released in Germany June 30, 1962, and was even shown at
the Berlin Film Festival in 1962. Of course most of the actors who starred
there are not very well known, but there is a famous actor starred as Gert
Frobe (a lot of filming in France, with the same Belmondo, Gabin and
Ventura). Delon has a small role at the tenth minute with girl on the boat
in Venice. Another interesting fact is that Delon has never shooting in
German films. This movie was filmed entirely in Italy, mainly in Venice.
Just at a time when Delon was there in March 1962 on the set of " Marco Polo
". It seems that it was a friendly interest. This movie released in France
under the title " La femme rousse " ( RedWoman ), in Italy " La rossa ",
already in the U.S. in 1965 entitled " The Redhead " ...

Delon appointed Mireille Darc as a costar of " Jeff " after thought by
himself. Alain says that " Which French actress except Bardot, Deneuve and
Darc as a role of my lover, can play ? " And, Frederic de Pasquale who
was fledgling appeared to this movie. Frederic de Pasquale was pleased with
an encounter with Alain who was also the boss of Adel Productions, until at
least the movie is released. He talks " I worked at construction site and so
on, I almost didn't appear in a movie in those days. It was Alain that
invited me to this filming of 『 Jeff 』. He gave me the villain. It was a bit
part first. However after a few days from the filming start, Alain who
watched the rushes, was moved and he asked to Jean Cau who wrote a script,
that to let me appear from the beginning to the end. I got the position what
murdered him in last in this way. About this matter, I think that Alain
really took good care. " As the evidence, several days before of crank up,
Alain Delon suggested to Frederic de Pasquale a proposal. Alain found
Frederic's talent, Alain thought that wanted to bring up him into a star in
his office ( production ). Alain told to him that " Leave
Artmedia, after that Georges Beaume takes care of you. You will be able to
become to be a star if you do it as I say. " Frederic felt rejection for the
word star. " I didn't want to become a star particularly. However I didn't
defy Alain. Anyone must not defy him. Otherwise myself suffer a loss. "
In April 1969, the movie release a few days later, Frederic went to the
office of Alain at the Ave. Chambiges. A.D. of the form same as a thing of
Albecht Durer's initial at the door of the office is advocated. It did not
hear the typewriter sound and the telephone bell sound as usual from over
the door. Frederic has forgotten whether Alain wore a dark blue blazer, a
gray slacks as always, but he can not still forget only the abnormally froze
expression of Alain at that time. Alain got angry at bad reputation of the
movie " Jeff ". The movie was criticized with every magazine from the
performer to the talks of the story. However, evaluations for Frederic were
different a little bit. Above all, Frederic was praised as " an all-around
actor " with the Nouvel Obervateur. Frederic knew it why Alain met me so
coolly today. For Frederic who visited him, Alain said that " Any business ?
Would the thing you wanted emerged on paper in this way ? Return right now.
Because you a great adult, you ought be able to build the carrier by
yourself. " Frederic was not able to hide surprise. He did not understand a
reaction of Alain. Alain thinks that Frederc coaxed critics. Frederic can
not know one such as critics either. Afterwards, during several weeks,
Frederic demanded explanation to Alain with a telephone and a letter. But it
was only silence and insult. It was the moment when Frederc fell into
misanthropy. It is him who enjoys relaxed life in the country, but he can
not yet understand an action of Alain. - information
from " Les mysteres Delon " -
Nathalie seemed to do a clerk ( cash
register ) of Cinema " Roxy " in Roches Noires, Casablanca at the time of
1962.
Alain seemed to wanted to appoint
Nathalie as the Laetitia role of the movie " Les Aventuriers ".
- information from Joanna Shimkus -
As people expected it, the relations of
Alain Nathalie became official in the spring, 1964. The engagement party was
held grandly at a night club " La Fiesta " of the beach in Antibes. There was
a suitable place for Delon, he did playing in the water and boat, and also
he challenged parasailing alone. Celebrities of Paris gathered in this party
one of the another. On August 13, 1964, four months after this party, they
held a wedding ceremony quietly at a government office in Loir-et Cher.
Francois Marcantoni who was one of a few people invited to this wedding.
What is the thing which this secret ceremony means ? For a long time, their
friends were told as " The ceremony will be carried out in the United States
in autumn of the next year. " The secret was that Nathalie was eight months
pregnant. If this was know to the media, it must have been thrown into a
great uproar. A certain reporter writes, " The starlet from North Africa
obtained the position that many beautiful women watched wistfully after
parting with Romy Schneider. " In addition, there is the person who doubted
it whether Alain changes by this marriage. For Pascal Jardin who is Alain's
friend, this marriage was a shock. " When he married Nathalie, I was
surprised that they were too similar. He found another himself. As for her,
he virtually became a woman. While she was his lover and she was like the
younger sister at that time. " Alain flew to London as soon as the ceremony
was over and filmed " The yellow Rolls-Royce ". - information
from " Les mysteres Delon " -
1964, Alain Delon was irritated with
Belmondo became the best in France. He answered an interview of Herald
Tribune as follows " It is me who is famous person in United States and
Japan. And American need me. They share 47% of the global market only in one
country but if I go there, remaining 53% will become theirs ! In United
States, know-how to produce a good movie is set. In France, there is only an
amateur who sometimes goes into the red. The actor who became independent
like me is disliked in France. I do not participate in the meeting between
actors either. " Whether his remark was the real intention or would be the
trap of the newspaper publisher. Anyway, this remark was thrown into a large
uproar in French media and there were rumors. When this article was
reported, Alain Delon was in London. As a matter of course, he was surprised
at such radical contents. And according to advice of his friend Beaume, he
decided to accuse the newspaper publisher. At first, he sent a gram to the
president of Tribune Co., then he insisted that I did not receive such an
interview determinedly. Afterwards, he sent as that I never did such a
radical remark to the president of French Figaro, mother country France and
his friend Belmondo. Shortly he goes ashore the United States with his
family companion, with 15 suitcases, with
Ferrari of his private-owned car
and the Great Dane of his pet dog " Brendo ". In the United States, the
article about his remark caused a kind of a good feeling. Whether Delon
really spoke it as distinction, people have been thought that he would think
the same contents. He was known as the most romantic French actor in the
United States since the film " Plein Soleil ". Producer American big shot
Eddie Fisher held the party where celebrities in Hollywood gathered
unanimously to welcome this " French version James Dean ". Few
days after when the eldest son was born, Alain began the filming of the
first Hollywood film. A luxurious villa was given to him from the
production. In addition, when Nathalie gave birth, the on-site stuffs care
about him very much for Delon could keep calmness. But this movie ended in
failure in both France and the United States without making a hit. A certain
critic writes that " In such a poor scenario and whimsical director, it is
impossible even if I say to Delon that show brilliance. " Meanwhile, it
was Acapulco in Mexico which went with a certain writer, this stay became
the relaxation for Mr. and Mrs. Delon. Brigitte Bardot, Jeanne Moreau and
others came there from France. Mr. and Mrs. Delon joined them at night and
became the merrymaking. The villa of Mr. and Mrs. Delon contacted with a
villa of Brigitte.
When he came back to Hollywood, Alain
criticized MGM intensely by a project of Reader the Tiger was canceled. By
this, an American major movie company and his relations worsen. And in the
French office which heard this news, it has begun to be talked about Alain
Delon might not succeed in the United States. However, in spite of such an
opposition, the private life in Hollywood was chiefly superior for him. He
took a lot of time to be with Anthony and sometimes showed himself at the
nightclub. In addition, he went to Spain for the filming of " Lost Command "
at that time. And a strange affair happened during the filming of this
movie. Delon was called by the Almeria court. He was demanded the
explanation of the circumstances that he was refused to enter to the
bullfighting place in the town, then he had fight. ( A person in charge told
him who arrived late in start time for bullfighting to wait for the next
bullfighting but Alain was commandeered, then they had fight. ) This
affair became one of two unpleasant memories of this location.
Another unpleasant memory is that the rumor
about the cosmetic surgery was opened. Delon held an inferiority complex in
his ear which was sometimes said to be like " the handle of the pitcher "
from a friend, for several years. He hid this natural fault with hair well
until now. But, he wanted to improve this fault triggered cut hair in this
filming. - information from " Les mysteres Delon " -
