"Paris (France) (AFP) – Veteran French actor Louis Jourdan, who starred in “Gigi” and “Octopussy”, has died in Los Angeles at the age of 93, his official biographer Olivier Minne said Sunday.

Jourdan died of natural causes at his Beverly Hills home on Saturday, Minne told AFP from Paris. “He embodied French elegance and Hollywood offered him the parts to go with that,” Minne said."
