[Jeanne Moreau](http://variety.com/2017/film/news/jeanne-moreau-dead-dies-french-jules-jim-1202510696/) has died. One of the most beautiful women of 20th-Century film.

That is so sad. I just found out about this while reading about Sam Shepherd’s death. What a terrible day for cinephiles. I saw Moreau just a few months ago in Luis Bunuel’s Diary of a Chambermaid. She was absolutely stunning as usual. _Au revoir, ma belle_.

I recently watched [The Lovers](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052556/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_123) where she was beautiful, mysterious, and very sexy for 1958; there’s some nudity, unusual for the time. It was the movie that Justice Potter (SCOTUS) said "“I know it (pornography) when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that.” Thank you Justice Potter!

Adieu, ma belle. Sam Shepard, too.

I was thinking earlier that two REALLY UGLY people better have died today, to keep the universe in balance.

Good singer as well. Love this duet with Yves Duteil.
