Mel Ferrer Dies

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 was married and divorced three times before Hepburn: to Frances Pilchard (one daughter); to Barbara Tripp (a daughter and son); and a remarriage to Pilchard.

In all, he appeared in more than 100 films and made-for-television movies, directed nine films and produced nine more.

Survivors include his wife, children and several grandchildren.

Rest In Peace, Mel.
