[HIGHLIGHTS] Death of Helmut Berger, Austrian actor icon of Luchino Visconti

Helmut Berger, a mythical actor of the 1970s, died this Thursday in Austria. He had played Ludwig II of Bavaria in the film "Ludwig or the Twilight of the Gods" by Italian director Luchino Visconti.

In 1974, in "Violence and Passion", with Burt Lancaster, he is the gigolo of Anna Magnani. With the death of his mentor in 1976, his career declined and he drew more and more on his past.
