Charles Aznavour, the man sometimes lauded as the French Frank Sinatra has died at one of his homes on the south coast at the age of 94. As well as being one of the most iconic and prolific singers in history, Aznavour was also a successful film star and composer. He was recognised by CNN as \u201cEntertainer of the Century\u201d in 1998, as well as being awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2017.<\/p>\n
Aznavour was born in 1924 in Paris to Armenian parents who had immigrated to France not long before. Infatuated with pursuing a career in the arts, he left school at age nine to become a child actor and secured a handful of minor film roles while still a teenager. His most famous appearance on the silver screen came in 1960 when he played the title role in Shoot the Pianist<\/em>, directed by Fran\u00e7ois Truffaut. He would go on to star in over 60 movies in total.<\/p>\n
