Malagnac was also a business man and art collector. He married singer Amanda Lear.Scion of a French upper-middle-class family, 12-year-old Alain-Philippe had a minor role in the film Les Amitiés particulières (English title: This Special Friendship), released in 1964, based on the award-winning autobiographical novel by Roger Peyrefitte. Malagnac met Peyrefitte on the set, from when they started a long association professionally and personally. This formed the background to Peyrefitte's novel, Notre Amour (Éd.
