Louis Jourdan
Actor -- via Variety. AKA Louis Robert Gendre. The epitome of the dashing Frenchman on film and television, Jourdan actually had quite a good range as a performer. His film debut was derailed by World War II; he fought in the Resistance. He began as a juvenile lead, most notably in "Three Coins in the Fountain" and "Gigi"; he specialized in villains later in films such as "Octopussy" and "Swamp Thing."
