LOS ANGELES (AP) — Louis Jourdan, the dashingly handsome Frenchman who starred in "Gigi," "Can-Can," "Three Coins in the Fountain" and other American movies, has died. He was 93.
Jourdan's biographer, Olivier Minne, said the actor died Saturday at his home in Beverly Hills, likely of natural causes.
"He was the last French actor from the Hollywoood golden era," said Minne, who is working on a book and documentary about Jourdan. "Louis was very proud of his career in America."
Succeeding Charles Boyer as Hollywood's favorite French lover, Jourdan romanced Joan Fontaine, Jennifer Jones, Grace Kelly and Shirley MacLaine in films during the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s. He also showed that he could play a villain in "Julie" (1956), in which he was Doris Day's husband, a psychopathic killer.

He was a great bad guy in "Year of the Comet".

An extremely rare bottle of wine (bottled during the appearance of the Great Comet of 1811) is discovered. Margaret Harwood is sent to retrieve it so it can be sold at auction. Oliver Plexico is assigned as her travel guide/bodyguard for the trip. However, other people desperately want the bottle and will stop at nothing to get it. A simple little trip becomes an international chase.

I will always remember him for. I watched a lot of Dracula movies and the one in which he was the lead was absolutely the most convincing and memorable in good but also creepy ways.
I admired several of his other roles as well and always thought he was very talented.
That is likely also the movie that made me turn on all the lights in the house so there were no dark corners...
RIP, Mr. Jourdan.
