Francine Canovas, stage name Nathalie Delon, was a French actress and film director. On 13 August 1964, Nathalie married in the Loir-et-Cher to the actor Alain Delon, with whom she was expecting a child. At 21, she had met him at a nightclub with his fiancée actress Romy Schneider. The actor, at the height of his career at 29, was under media scrutiny following five years of stormy public drama with Schneider. After the wedding, attended by the mayor and two witnesses and kept secret until after they left the country, the couple boarded the SS France at Le Havre for a honeymoon to the United States. They then went directly to Hollywood because Alain Delon had a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), but it was soon terminated by the American company. Their son, Anthony Delon, was born the following month at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.[3] The Delons lived in the United States for a year before returning to Paris. In 1967, Nathalie became a film actress, starring opposite her husband in the film Le Samouraï by Jean-Pierre Melville, which became a hit.[3] On 14 February 1969, they divorced after four and a half years of marriage, when Alain Delon got involved with Mireille Darc on the set of Jeff by Jean Herman.

Born 1910 probably sept or oct... Lionel Jospin's mother Euthanasia. 'Ninety-two years - it is time to leave before deteriorations set in,' she wrote on the day of her death to members of an association called the Right to Die with Dignity, of which she was a member. 'I am leaving this life calmly. Even so, I am very sad to leave my family, big and small, and my friends: [but] isn't that in the order of things? 'My husband and children have filled my life. I am not a believer in the strict sense of the term, but I often say and repeat: thank you, thank you for the magnificence of this world. I would really like a little later on to lift a corner of the veil to see if mankind has become wiser, if it has given up destroying itself. 'I adore flowers. My husband and children have seen to it that they always accompanied me - from the little bouquets of marigolds at the start of my marriage to the magnificent roses, hortensias and orchids which my children offer me now. They have given me a mirror of life: budding, blooming, fading, over periods of different lengths, faithful to themselves, an image of all life.'
