Who was Alain Delon wife Nathalie Delon?
Nathalie Delon was a French actress, model, screenwriter, and film director. Nathalie was regarded as one of the most beautiful women in the world in the 1960s, and she became a French sex symbol in the 1970s. Delon is best known for her first acting role, which she shared with her husband, actor Alain Delon, in Jean-Pierre Melville’s neo-noir film Le Samoura (1967). Delon was in 30 films and directed two of them. Nathalie was also dubbed the Rolling Stones’ muse.
Nathalie married for the first time in 1957 to Guy Barthélémy, a conscript from the north of France who later became the signing officer of the Omnium Marocain d’Assurance. They had a daughter named Nathalie Barthélémy and lived in Morocco. They split up in 1960, and she relocated to Paris in 1961. In July 1964, their divorce was finalized.
Nathalie made her film debut in 1967, starring opposite her husband in the hit film Le Samoura by Jean-Pierre Melville. Bertrand Guyard writes in Le Figaro about the Delons’ performances, “their gazes, fraught with meaning, are enough to thrill the camera,” with the director drawing from their portrayals “a mythical couple in the seventh art.”
