French film legend Alain Delon, a divisive star known to some as a sex symbol and to others an egotistical chauvinist, has died at the age of 88, his children announced Sunday in a statement to AFP. In front of his house in Douchy (Loiret), people came to pay tribute."He accompanied me through my teenage years right up to the present day. He's a great star, a great person (...), it's a big loss," says a fan of the French actor. IMAGES
