WOW!!! Two major losses , I'm still in shock. Sam Shepard and Jeanne Moreau both departed us today. Two of my favorite actors.
RIP

Awwww Jeanne Moreau was the absolute embodiment of womanliness.

Yes huckle, agreed. I also found him to be incredibly sexy in a rugged, swarthy, manly kind of way as opposed to the pretty boy types alot of women fall for.
And, Jeanne Moreau certainly in a class all her own. That song from Jules et Jim was on our neighborhood jukebox and one of the female bartenders and I used to play it all the time and attempt to sing along. We almost got it right,especially after the sufficient amount of cocktails....

Nooooooooooooo!!!
I realize he hasn't been seen for quite a while, but I was a huge fan of all of his non-funny roles.
Full disclosure: I just love that face ~

Well, you should know that as an homage to The Nutty Professor, Isabelle Huppert just won best actress at the Locarno film festival for her remake Madame Hyde. Well, perhaps not exactly, but Huppert plays a mousy high school teacher, Madame Géquil (French pronunciation of Jekyll), who is struck by lightning and becomes somebody completely different...

Oh Wow!!!!!! I was a huge fan of him as well. Two roles that immediately standout in my mind are Paris, Texas, and his role as Molly Ringwald's father in Pretty in Pink. I never would have guessed he was 91 either.
Thank you for posting that documentary Bixa.

Hadn’t seen him in awhile, then this week we watched the pilot for Big Love, an HBO series about polygamists that ran 2005-2011.

Big Love is great! I didn't think I'd like it, but it was totally addictive. I'll go post something about it on Small Screen Viewing.

My favourite dates back a long, long time -- 44 years in fact -- and was Salut l'Artiste, in which he co-starred with Marcello Mastroianni. The two of them play struggling actors who run from minor job to minor job -- a bit part in a movie where all they go is get killed within 2 minutes, a crappy cabaret show followed by another crappy cabaret show that they have to run to since they only have about 15 minutes to get to it... It is not Jean Rochefort's best movie, but it was directed by Yves Robert who is the director who used Jean Rochefort the most -- Un Eléphant ça trompe énormement ("Pardon Mon Affaire" in US release), Nous irons tous au paradis, Courage fuyons. I also loved him in Cible Emouvante in which he trained Guillaume Depardieu to be an assassin. Anyway, something about Salut l'Artiste struck a chord with me and I have never forgotten it.
Funny, they're all dead... Guillaume Depardieu at age 37 and Marie Trintignant at age 41.

Not crushed myself because I've never heard of her but that is always a shocking age at which to die.

Goodbye Stéphane Audran. She generally played a sophisticated bitch in the films of her husband (and then ex-husband) Claude Chabrol. Her first marriage was to Jean-Louis Trintignant.
Nobody who saw the Danish movie Babette's Feast will ever forget her.

Margot Kidder?! Really! She certainly didn't die of old age.
