- Sophia Loren, renowned actress, is in mourning over the demise of Alain Delon.

Movie legend Sophia Loren expresses her grief over the demise of French cinematic star Alain Delon, her fellow actor. Delon's passing left her devastated, as per a statement issued by the 89-year-old performer through Italian news service ANSA. "First, he was a colleague, but more than that, he was a cherished friend. I'll always carry love for you. Au revoir, Alain." Delon was 88 when he breathed his last.

Loren and Delon's friendship stretched over several years. The Italian diva is one of Italy's most cherished acts. She's set to celebrate her 90th birthday on September 20. Some of her most iconic films include "Marriage Italian Style" and the humorous "Houseboat". Her captivating performance in "Two Women" earned her an Oscar.

I'm not necessarily planning to attend the memorial service for Alain Delon, given my current state of grief. Regardless, my heart will be with him, just as it has always been.
