Another actress has come forward accusing Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment. French star Florence Darel says the movie mogul relentlessly pursued her in the mid ’90s and then propositioned her in a hotel room while his wife at the time, Eve Chilton, was in the room next door.
“I was in shock. I was in shock,” Darel, 49, tells People about the alleged incident. “I was astonished. When you have someone so physically disgusting in front of you, continuing and continuing as though this was all perfectly normal… What happened to me may not be illegal but it was inappropriate.

Fabrice Luchini is one of those French film stars known in America seemingly only to lovers of French film, for performances in Moliere, Intimate Strangers, Uranus and many others. He's always a marvel of economy, evincing surprise, anger, cunning, disappointment - all with just a flicker of an eyebrow or a minute down- or upturn of the lips. He gets a deliciously full-bodied role in Anne Fontaine's The Girl from Monaco, as the fulcrum in a seesaw tale of lust and loyalty. Luchini plays attorney Bertrand Beauvois, a criminal defense attorney defending the mother (Stephane Audran, still ravishing at 76) of a mobster from a murder charge in Monaco.

Oscar-winning French director Claude Berri has died from a stroke at the age of 74.
The filmmaker, actor, screenwriter and producer was admitted to a Paris hospital on Saturday night with a "very serious neurological condition" after suffering from a blood clot on the brain.
He spent the remainder of the weekend under observation in the intensive care unit, but was pronounced dead on Monday, his agent has confirmed.
A statement released by his publicist simply reads, "Claude Berri died this morning at La Salpétrière Hospital in Paris of a stroke."
Born in Paris in 1934, Berri started his career as an actor, starring in movies by Claude Chabrol, before moving behind the camera.
He was best known for his producing role on Roman Polanski's award-winning 1979 film Tess, and picked up an Academy Award for his short film Le Poulet in 1966.
Berri was also noted for his work on 1986 movie Jean de Florette, 1990's Uranus, and Germinal - the most expensive French feature film ever made at the time of its release in 1993.
