French film star Jean-Louis Trintignant has died at the age of 91.
This was announced by his family on Friday.
Trintignant acted in about 160 films and plays, including Claude Lelouch's A Man and a Woman and Michael Haneke's drama Love.
He became known when he appeared in 1956 in the role of the shy husband alongside Brigitte Bardot in the film "And eternally lures the woman" - and then entered into a liaison with the actress.
Trintignant bid farewell to the cinema world for several years because of a private tragedy after his daughter Marie was beaten to death by her partner, singer Bertrand Cantat, in 2003.
