One of the most handsome classical actors ever- and what he did for the war effort was heroic.

He was pretty good as “Count Dracula” (1977) which is on Youtube.

He’s rejoined his bride of 68 years, Berthe Frédérique “Quique” Jourdan, who died last year.

"Lordy he was good looking"

____________________________

Wasn't he though? Easily the most handsome man Hollywood has ever produced, (with maybe Robert Taylor coming in a distant second) and he was indeed 'the epitome of the suave Continental'

They just don't make them like that any more.

RIP Louis.

Love his "Canada Dry" commercial. No man could drink carbonated water as convincingly as he.

Too bad about his son.

So WHO do we consider the handsomest man in Hollywood, from the 20s to today? And none of those girly-men so popular today, please.

Elegance personified. I wonder if he ever did any work with Catherine Denuve? But she may have been a generation removed from his time in the limelight.

Talking about sheer male perfection,

Homage to Louis with dozens of photos, scenes from his movies.

I searched but couldn't find where they had ever worked together. They are about 20 years apart in age.

Surely two of the biggest French stars must have worked together, even though he was about 20 years her senior. (That age difference never stopped Cary Grant, Gary Cooper and numerous others)
