Alain Delon has been placed under legal protection amid concerns about the 88-year-old acting icon’s health and well-being as his children squabble over his medical and living arrangements.
French media reported on Monday that a guardianship judge made the decision this week.
The legal protection order will not impact Delon’s day to day life but prevents him from selling a major asset and will see a third-party representative assist the actor in choosing suitable medical treatment and doctors.
The legal protection order comes amid a public spat between Delon’s oldest son Anthony, by French model Francine Canovas, and daughter and son Anouchka and Alain-Fabien, by Dutch model and TV presenter Rosalie van Breemen.
Their public mudslinging over their opposing views on Delon’s health and future first hit the French headlines in early January following a Paris Match interview in which Anthony voiced fears for his father’s health,...

The health and wellbeing of French acting star Alain Delon is in the spotlight in France amid a bitter family feud between his three living children over the veteran star’s medical regime and control of his assets.
Jean-Cédric Gaux, public prosecutor in the Loire Valley town of Montargis, close to the village of Douchy where Delon resides in a 19th century chateau, announced last week that he had appointed an authorized doctor to assess the health of the 88-year-old actor.
The move came amid a deepening succession dispute between Delon’s children, spanning eldest son Anthony, by French model Francine Canovas, and daughter and son Anouchka and Alain-Fabien, by Dutch model and TV presenter Rosalie van Breemen.
Gaux said he had taken the measure in response to two separate opposing letters from Delon’s lawyer Christophe Ayela and that of his son Anthony Delon, which both called for the...

French actress Nathalie Delon, who was known for her glamorous on-screen persona and high-profile personal life, has died at the age of 79.
The actor Anthony Delon, son of Nathalie and her former husband Alain Delon, told Afp that she died on Thursday after a “very fast cancer”.
Nathalie and Alain famously starred together in the Jean-Pierre Melville’s 1967 neo-noir Le Samourai. The 21-year-old Nathalie had met the 29-year-old actor in a nightclub when he was in the media spotlight after a stormy five-year engagement to Romy Schneider. Following an affair, the pair were married in secret and departed for the U.S., with the actor engaged in a short-lived contract with MGM. Their son Anthony was born shortly after.
They received rave write-ups for Le Samourai but their marriage was stretched by the actor’s infidelity, including an affair with actress Mireille Darc when they appeared together in Jean Herman’s 1969 crime pic Jeff.

Joan Collins in 'The Bitch': Sex tale based on younger sister Jackie Collins' novel. Author Jackie Collins dead at 77: Surprisingly few film and TV adaptations of her bestselling novels Jackie Collins, best known for a series of bestsellers about the dysfunctional sex lives of the rich and famous and for being the younger sister of film and TV star Joan Collins, died of breast cancer on Sept. 19, '15, in Los Angeles. The London-born (Oct. 4, 1937) Collins was 77. Collins' tawdry, female-centered novels – much like those of Danielle Steel and Judith Krantz – were/are immensely popular. According to her website, they have sold more than 500 million copies in 40 countries. And if the increasingly tabloidy BBC is to be believed (nowadays, Wikipedia has become a key source, apparently), every single one of them – 32 in all – appeared on the New York Times' bestseller list. (Collins' own site claims that a mere 30 were included.) Sex...

U.K. retail giant Tesco is releasing its film adaptation of a Jackie Collins novel. "Paris Connections" will be the company's first foray into filmmaking, with a straight-to-dvd that will go on sale exclusively in its stores.
The film is Tesco's first project, with the hopes of making two more films this year. The company also signed up authors Philip Pullman, Judy Blume and Felix Francis. Blume's "Tiger Eyes" is being eyed as Tesco's next film.
Director Harley Cokeliss is working on with stars Nicole Steinwedell, Charles Dance, Hudson Leick, Anthony Delon, Trudie Styler, Anouk Aimee, and Caroline Chikezie for the film.
According to the Guardian, a straight-to-dvd movie sold exclusively in Tesco is the brainchild of Ileen Maisel, a former New Line Cinema producer. The idea is to take well-known authors and adapt their bestselling novels into "video books."...

The UK's biggest food retailer is about to take on Hollywood in the movie-making business. Patrick Barkham goes on the Paris set of Tesco's first film, with Charles Dance and Trudie Styler
A glittering adaptation of a Jackie Collins novel. An award-winning cast. Thirteen gazelle-like models in a top Paris hotel. Viewed from one angle, Paris Connections could be the big-budget production to put the glamour back into British film-making. In a less flattering light – say, the strip lights of a supermarket – the end result could look very different.
Because this is not just any movie. This is a Tesco movie. The supermarket giant that inhabits virtually every corner of our existence has this year moved into film-making with a straight-to-dvd movie or, as its makers prefer, a "DVD Premiere". This autumn, Paris Connections will go on sale exclusively in Tesco stores. If successful, it could revolutionise the movie business,...
