I don't know how known on your island was French actor Alain Delon that died this week,
but here on territory of ex-Yugoslavia he (and Jean Paul Belmondo) were megastars in 60s and 70s.

His name event entered common speech, like if you wanted to compliment man on his good look you would say "beautiful as Alain Delon".
