Jean-Paul Belmondo

France’s favorite broken nose became a star smoking and pouting through Godard’s Breathless, then figured out he could make a lot more money hanging off helicopters in action movies without a stunt double. Eighty-odd films, one “national treasure” from Macron and no apparent interest in a helmet. He died in Paris at 88, presumably mid-cigarette.
