Note that this might be the first time that the Assosicated Press has ever used the term "Armenian genocide" without quotations or any sort of Turkish refutation.

PARIS (AP) - Henri Verneuil, a prolific French filmmaker who directed some of France's greatest movie stars, died Friday, according to the French Fine Arts Academy. He was 81.

 

Among Verneuil's most memorable films is ``La Vache et le Prisonnier'' (The Cow and I), a charming film about a man's adventures with a stubborn cow, made in 1959.

 

Verneuil directed such giants of the French cinema as Jean Gabin and Jean-Paul Belmondo. Both appeared in Verneuil's 1962 film, ``Un Singe en Hiver'' (A Monkey in Winter).

 

Born in Turkey, Verneuil was a naturalized French citizen of Armenian ancestry. In 1991, he directed ``Mayrig,'' a film dealing with the Armenian genocide starring Omar Sharif and Claudia Cardinale.

 

In 1996, Verneuil was awarded an honorary Cesar, France's equivalent of the Oscar, for lifetime achievement in film.
