RIP
Awesome actor, awesome presence on screen.
An icon of European cinema.
Great lover of women and dogs.
The dogs:
There were about 50 during his lifetime.
He is to be buried on his property La Brûlerie, situated in Douchy, central France. His burial will take place in a chapel specifically constructed for the purpose, close to his many canine companions who have passed away there.
“I want to be buried with my dogs. I don’t care about anything else, I just want to be with them. They were the only ones who loved me unconditionally, always there for me, asking nothing in return. There is no love more pure than that of a dog. It is a bond that goes beyond life. I want to be with them, because with them I have known true love.”
This after all the women in his life and professing that Romy Schneider was his greatest love. What a life. What a career.
