Louis Jourdan has always been one of my favorite actors. He sweats "class". Still looks as sophisticated and dashing as ever, even in his 90s. Thanks so much for posting this. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Bravo Louis!
My favourite film of all time "Letter from unknown woman" how sorry I was to hear of your passing. I didn't know your beloved wife had died last year. I guess you wanted to be with her. You left us a lot of happy memories. I hope you have been reunited with your wife and son. God bless you Louis xx
I have recorded the film Three Coins in the Fountain and when I get depressed about this virus stuff I watch this beautiful film and it takes me beautifully away from any darkness in my spirit. Thank You Louis Jordan .
One of the most handsome and elegant actors in the history of film. Unforgettable in LETTER FROM AN UNKNOWN WOMAN, MADAME BOVARY, THREE COINS IN THE FOUNTAIN, GIGI, CAN-CAN, THE VIPs, LES SULTANS and other films. A well-deserved honor, long overdue.
Need more actors like these men. They were great. It's tough to see people get older and then are no longer around. I dread that as well. I sure hope that the younger generations watch the classics and truly appreciate it. Louis was so handsome. Kirk so manly rough. Sidney...wow. All greats.
It's rather sad at times. Seeing Louis Jourdan at old age. Especially with the legacy of films he has behind him. I know a lot of people remember him from the musical Gigi. But I still remember Jourdan for portraying villains in Swamp Thing and BBC tv's Count Dracula (my favourite Dracula version). The Legion d'Honneur. A great honour to a fine French actor.
Charming, erudite and astonishingly courageous. He was excellent in Letter from an Unknown Woman, and his performance as the title character in the BBC's Count Dracula was brilliant-- he reinterpreted the feral Dracula of Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee as a sort of jaunty and aloof continental. Louis Jourdan was living proof that the film industry is deeply flawed vis a vis casting decisions. That he was typecast-- first as a lover, then as a villian-- is Hollywood's shame. He was an extraordinary talent who deserved better roles than Dr. Arcane and Kamal Khan. (Although in typical Jourdan fashion he acquitted himself well in both. Until Christoph Waltz's recent resurrection of Blofeld, Louis Jourdan's Prince Kamal Khan was the last classic Bond villain.)
About time too! Congratulations to Monsieur Jourdan.. All fans of his work will be so pleased! I still watch his depiction of Count Dracula.. and it still unnerves me..!
Thank you SO much for posting this. I've loved Louis Jourdan since I was a little girl. He's magnificent and STILL handsome! Again, thank you! I'm in tears, in love with Monsieur Jourdan for decades! ¬ Janet Thompson Deaver
et une etoile de plus au paradis de ces hommes et de ces femmes , a l'immenses talents qu'ils incarnaient .un tres grand respects a eux et a Mr louis JOURDAN .
Merci beaucoup! This is such a memorable video of my favorite stars together to honor Monsieur Jourdan...What is the name of the beautiful song and artist, Please...
I was 5 yrs old when my grandmother took me to the movie theater TV 2C "Gigi"...I fell in love with Louis Jordan and when we exited the theater I took her hand a s said that I wanted him 2 wait 4me 2 grow up so I could marry him. 4 some reason he didn't......but he stayed the Love of My Life....no and an I met bi un kn d compare 2 him. He had a way of looking into the camera that connected with the viewer. You felt as though he was talking 2 you....and you were the m ki sh beautiful and desirable women in the world... regardless of your age. A wonderful actor. Je te adore Louis....🥰

Hello, I would like to know, if I could use a snapshot from the video for my private homepage? If you don't have the rights, do you know who? Thanks :-)
I remember I liked him. I was unable to say if he was alive, now I know. The music is a shame on (probably) the last public pictures of him. R.I.P Je me souviens de l'avoir apprécié. J'étais incapable de dire si il était encore en vie, maintenant, je sais. Cette musique est vraiment nulle sur ses (probablement) dernières images publiques.
Even if we only get a limited life span, why can't we just physically stop at about 30 or 40 and see out the remainder of our days still fairly agile and looking quite good. Life is actually cruel; when the brain is still willing but the chemical ravages upon our bodies let us down.
QUE C'EST TRISTE DE VOIR MONSIEUR LOUIS JOURDAN ETRE RECOMPENSE SUR SON IMMENSE CARRIERE A UN AGE TROP AVANCE. POURQUOI ATTENDRE SI LONGTEMPS POUR LUI DONNER CE PLAISIR DE LA LEGION D'HONNEUR. J'AI EU LE PLAISIR DE LE RENCONTRER AVEC SA DAME DANS LEUR VILLA, ILS ETAIENT SI ACCEUILLANTS ET C'EST A LA FLEUR DE L'AGE, QU'IL AURAIT FALLU LE RECOMPENSER QUAND IL MARCHAIT SANS DIFFICULTE. IL ETAIT MON ACTEUR PREFERE.

RIP monsieur Jourdan, thank you for all of your preformances!
Truly a class act and great actor. Today's group of actors could take a lesson. RIP
R.I. P. I loved all of your movies! You were a fantastically wonderful and handsome actor.
Love Louis Jourdan...He and his wife look wonderful!
Well deserved,he is a superb actor.
Every ounce a gracious man, and beautiful wife. Both will be missed by those who love who they were.
C'est émouvant de le revoir à cet âge avec cette classe naturelle qui le caractérisait.
Et quel acteur talentueux !

Could anyone wear a suit better than Louis Jourdan? He's still sexy and elegant.
A Wonderful Actor, with a touch of pure Class!
Merci Louis 🍇🍷

May he rest in peace thanks for sharing your talent with us
I had the pleasure of knowing Louie on the set of "Vegas".
He truly is a TOUCH OF CLASS.
Thank you! I love Louis Jourdan!
He had a beautiful face as a young man.
Watching now in "Can Can". Greatness

Grande ator Louis Jourdan..Saudades de seus filmes belíssimos..
Excelente ator com filmes memoráveis.Sempre fui seu fã desde criança.Carismático e competente possui em seu currículo somente filmes de classe.
Genuinely touching.

Thanks! Merci beaucoup! very nice
There is also a FaceBook page honouring Monsieur Jourdan, very well done and full of photographs. He looks so like my dad.
He was a magnificent looking younger man and is still magnificent looking as an older, mature man. I loved him then and I love him now. God Bless!

I know, as old as he is and he still has the looks. I always loved him too.
Elizabeth Barry Amen! His wife and he have been married since sometime in the 1940's. That is being "in love"!

Emouvant de le voir changé avec une canne mais l'âge est là = 89 ans et Kirk Douglas 4 ans de plus - quelle classe !!

Can Can movie brought me here! The man is a hottie when he was younger, still gorgeous in his senior years.
The late Louis Jourdan. He was with his wife for 70 years - they died only six months apart. How poignant.
Avec un beau regarde
D'accord!!!
Louis Jourdan J´taime!
en fin, monsieur jourdan
creat actor
Wow.
gostaria de saber o nome desta música do video
The Swan, Gig, Can Can and so on, and so on...
good morning
I remember I liked him. I was unable to say if he was alive, now I know. The music is a shame on (probably) the last public pictures of him. R.I.P
Je me souviens de l'avoir apprécié. J'étais incapable de dire si il était encore en vie, maintenant, je sais. Cette musique est vraiment nulle sur ses (probablement) dernières images publiques.
Why daft music
is he still living?
I've never eaten Chicken Paprika since..
Even if we only get a limited life span, why can't we just physically stop at about 30 or 40 and see out the remainder of our days still fairly agile and looking quite good. Life is actually cruel; when the brain is still willing but the chemical ravages upon our bodies let us down.

I was thinking the exact same thing.
Why so late in his life time????
Great question.
😓😧
wow those men mustav ate healthy...
Une honte de l'avoir décoré si tard. Il était plus urgent de donner cette distinction à Mimie Mathy... A sa place, je l'aurais refusée.
Octopussy!
The French touch!!!! A brilliant comedian, and a man of high class
