French actor Louis Jourdan has passed away at the age of 93. 

After a rocky start to his film career, (his debut film was delayed due to the start of World War II) Louis Jourdan has starred in almost 70 movies. He is possibly best known for his role as the villainous Kamal Khan in Octopussy (1983). His other works included The Paradine Case (1947), Letter from an Unknown Woman (1948), Gigi (1958) and The Best of Everything (1959). 

Jourdan passed away on 14th February 2015 at his home in Beverly Hills at the age of 93. 

This fans have taken to Twitter to pay tribute. Among them was Kabir Bedi, who famously played Gobinda alongside Jourdan in Octopussy. 

"He embodied French elegance and Hollywood offered him the parts to go with that,"
Oliver Minnie, Jourdan's official biographer
