Une rencontre avec Monsieur Alex D'Arcy dans un train allant de Cannes à Paris

I met Alex Darcy during the 80's at the occasion of a travel by train between Cannes and Paris (France). I did not know him before this encounter. I think we sympathised and during our discussion he told me the story of his life. The reason of his travel to Paris was to encounter somebody who could help him to write his memories that he expected to see published. He had prepared for this meeting, a written and pretty detailed synopsis of his life and he gave me it to read during the travel. I had a great pleasure to this lecture and I remember me asking him a lot of questions on the details of his life that I was discovering. From the memory I can have of what I learned from him :

 - He told me that his father was from Turk origin and his mother Italian.

 - He started his career of actor in England before the Second World War and he had a great success at this time.

 - He went after to the USA . The life offered by the Hollywood Studios was wonderfull...

 - He was playing theatre in new-york at the end of his career.

 - The principal problems in his life were linked to the women.

 - The principal problem of women in the cinema was that they did not accept to get older (he had sad stories concerning this fact)

 - He talked me about his daughter (who was very important for him) and told me what she was doing.

 - He had undergone a surgery for a throat cancer and he had a special voice.

 - He was sharing his life between France (Cannes ) and the USA.

 - I asked him what he thought of Marylin Monroe with who he had made a movie according the synopsis I was reading, and he answered me that she was not a well balanced person.

 - He talked me about Tony Curtis and said that he was a very nice guy.

 - Last but not least : he talked a very good french.

I remember a very pleasant “ rencontre ” with an old man with a very interesting life behind him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emile from Cannes (talk • contribs) 19:07, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
