There was a pretty lame joke some years ago about Delon/Deloin. It went a little something like this:
Ugly person says: my friends say I look like Alain Deloin
Other friend: you mean Delon?
Ugly person: no really, they say I look like Alain, but from far away (de loin)…

He forgot the most famous french actor in Germany: Pierre Brice, who played Karl May’s indian warrior Winnetou in a series of Sauerkraut-Westerns. The part made him famous, but he was forever associated with it.
Other french actors who made westerns: Roger Hanin, Jean-Louis Trintignant (Il Grande Silenzio), Pierre Perret (Le Juge, where he played Judge Roy Bean), and Johnny Halliday (Le Spécialiste).

Yes, I posted it on RadioBarachois.com. The French government did deliver a letter of intent to the UN. This will probably take decades to settle.

Appreciate the new layout. Saves me having to spend money to get into twitter. My medical bills keep going up and I really can’t afford to buy the latest “thing”.
