Legendary
French actor Jean-Louis Trintignant died in Gard, France on June 17, 2022, of
old age. He was 91. Trintignant, one of France's
greatest actors had his acting career shadowed when his life was plunged into
tragedy by the murder of his daughter at the hands of her pop star boyfriend. Trintignant
was devastated when Marie, an actress, was beaten to death by rock star
Bertrand Cantat in a hotel room in Lithuania in
2003. She was 41. Yet nine years later he returned in triumph in Michael
Haneke's Oscar-winning "Amour", playing a man in his eighties
struggling to look after his wife after a stroke. It also won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes film festival, where
Trintignant made a final emotional return in 2019 aged 88 despite being
weakened by cancer for a sequel of "A Man and a Woman", the 1966 love
story that made his name. Jean-Louis appeared in only one Euro-western as a
mute gunfighter named ‘Silence’ in the 1968 Sergio Corbucci directed “The Great
Silence” with Klaus Kinski and Frank Wolff.
