Mel Ferrer has died


Audrey Hepburn's first husband, seen above in "Lili"

LOS ANGELES - Mel Ferrer, the tall, darkly handsome star of such classic films as "Lili," "War and Peace" and "The Sun Also Rises," as well as producer and director of movies starring his wife, Audrey Hepburn, has died at age 90.

Ferrer died Monday at his ranch near Santa Barbara, family spokesman Mike Mena said.

"It's a sad occasion, but he did live a long and productive life," Mena told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Ferrer's most impressive film role came in 1953 in "Lili." He played a rippled carnival puppeteer with whom a French orphan (played by Leslie Caron) falls in love.

1. I really like him as Andre in War and Peace
I can't believe he was 90... he must have been a bit older than Audrey. Rest in peace...

3. Quite a bit older, Audrey was born in 1929
same year as my Mom. He was also married many, many times, 5 or 6, I think. Lili is one of my favorite movies, not on DVD yet.

This week we say goodbye to Harvey Korman, Bo Diddley and Mel. Sad.
