Product Information

He was a public figure, you know, a world-class figure and the view of the world, his audience, always played a very important role for him! The images in this archive where distributed in only 10-15 copies around the world at the time and many copies have been lost or damaged during time, each copy from the collection is therefore very rare and unique. These cookies help to provide information about the metrics, the number of visitors, the dropout rate, the source of traffic, etc. Carole Amiel, who co-authored the book with Luc Larriba, was Yves Montand's partner for the last decade of her life and the mother of his only child, Valentin.

It was, after all, a very good time because everyone was locked in their homes… they had a lot of free time! He admired the Americans, the American culture, the American system, the American cinema from a very young age! He always had a lot of cash in his pocket, so he was otherwise unable to get his credit card money from a machine. Montan d left your life really suddenly and unexpectedly from a heart attack, had no health problems and I imagine how big a blow it was for you.

All our press photos are LIMITED ARCHIVE ORIGINALS - they are the actual prints that were used by the newspapers, they are not reprints or digital prints produced by us. There was sympathy, admiration and mutual respect… Marilyn was looking for a partner for the film she was making - many well-known American stars had turned down her offers, they did not want to "serve Monroe's soup"….

When he saw that the reactions of the people were all completely positive, he freed himself from all his reservations and waited for the event, like me, with great impatience! The son of poor Italian immigrants who settled in Marseilles in the early 1920s, he manages to become one of the most emblematic personalities of the 20s. Willow people have a lot of imagination, sometimes they like to daydream and they are able to understand exactly how other people feel.

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Yves Montand - born Ivo Livi - a wonderful book / album was published a few months ago in France about his life story.
