✍️ John M. Murphy, Professor of Communication, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, for The Conversation — now on Worldcrunch.

Even Kamala Harris and Donald Trump can agree on one thing: the demonization of China.

🎞️ French actor #AlainDelon, died at 88 on Sunday. Considered a film legend and icon of French #cinema’s golden era, Delon appeared in almost 90 movies and received global praise for his many roles, from hitman to boxer to charismatic conman. In this video from the @Worldcrunch vault, Delon was already a global heartthrob and "enfant terrible" of the silver screen, having gained credibility notably with his role as Rocco Parondi in Italian director Luchino Visconti’s "Rocco and His Brothers" (1960). Delon is pictured here at the 1962 @festivaldecannes; he went on to receive an honorary #PalmedOr in 2019 for his acting exploits in such classics as "Purple Noon" and "The Leopard". Delon also attracted a generous dose of controversy for his homophobic views, accusations of domestic abuse and longtime friendship with founder of France’s far-right party National Front, Jean-Marie Le Pen. 📸 © @ina.fr 📌 Cannes 📆 May 7, 1962 #movies #RIPAlainDelon #FrenchCinema
