Mr. Yves Montand was born on October 13, 1921. Of note, he shares this birthday with Ms. Nana Mouskouri, born in 1934 (https://shorturl.at/CxUgh), as well as with one of this blog’s friends and a dear relative who will recognize themselves in this post : ). Mr. Montand died at age 70 on November 9, 1991 (https://shorturl.at/agjLW).
For those who do not know it, Montand’s real name was Mr. Ivo Livi. He was born in Monsummano Terme, Italy. His family migrated to France following Mr. Benito Mussolini’s rise to power (https://shorturl.at/agjLW). He grew up in the charming Marseille where he started a career as a music-hall singer. He was later discovered in Paris by Ms Édith Piaff (https://shorturl.at/agjLW) with whom he had a beautiful love story. May his and her memory be eternal.
