Yves Montand had in my life only one legal wife, not less, than he was known - Simone Signoret, with whom he had lived thirty-six years until her death. But Montand did not deny himself, and that the Germans were very accurately called "zaytenshprung", ie "jump to the side." Art and the women were inseparable in his emotional life, full of anxieties, disappointments, and the great feeling of love, which, sweeping away everything in the way makes a person happy and unique. Among the women were worshiped his great Edith Piaf - "the little sparrow», fascinating secrets of French pop songs, and great Marilyn Monroe - "symbol of the earth's number one beauty, sex symbol of Hollywood ... These women knew and appreciated his love romance and madness, patience and sincerity, suffering and purity. And, of course, the overwhelming feeling of sensuality.
    Edith Piaf ... She always knew how to choose the honorable men and proud of it. Not only loved them, but they lived. In her life, Yves Montand was special - that she opened an unknown young man of Marseilles natural talent and helped him become a star of first magnitude on the French stage.

Yves Montand and Edith Piaf met in the mid-forties. Meet remained forever in their memory. Thin, very long "dude" presented Piaf, already known and adored by the public. "I tasted particularly cruel fear, - confessed later Iv. - No matter how I tried to convince myself, but this frail spectator, careful and dispassionate, produced a great impression on me than three hundred people, noisy and impatient. To pull myself together, I needed all the men of pride: I could not fold before the woman ... "
"When he sang, - recalled Edith Piaf - I immediately fell under its charm. Identity of the individual artist impression of strength and masculinity, beautiful Artistic hand, an interesting expressive face, soulful voice ... "
    Edith Piaf breathed into him part of his divine talent. She taught the beauty of Yves Montand singing, which made him great. Taught him to truly love a woman and not afraid to show love in all its fervor, feel easy and natural to the passion. "Little sparrow" taught a simple, muscular guy growing 187 centimeters and weighing 82 kilograms. And Yves Montand, despite its abrupt and harsh, is not opposed to the lessons of love, and longed for more and more meetings, especially after the quarrels and scandals, expecting that precious moment when again he can be forgiven and will be in the arms of his beloved.
    Montand repeatedly offered Edith Piaf: Edith, let's get married. I want you to be my wife ... "However, this happy day never came. They were simply loyal friends ...
    Eve first met Simone Signoret August 19, 1949 under the blue skies of Provence. Both were then at 28 years. She - well-known actress, wife of director Yves Allegra and their mother, daughter, three years, Catherine. Montagne, who came on tour to Nice - a rising star of music hall, nicknamed "Dynamite on stage. He was born in a small Italian village of Monsummano Alto, a poor peasant family. When he was two years, parents had emigrated from Tuscany (the area in Italy) in France.
   Ivo Livi - so it sounded real name. Montana - a nickname that came as a memory of childhood, when his mother called for dinner, shouting in Italian: "Ivo, monta! Ivo, monta! "; (Ivo, stand up!).
    He began work at eleven years: was a student hairdresser, dockers in the port of Marseilles, working on the pasta factory ... When Yves came to fame and he got some money, he gave the parents a house in the suburbs of Marseille, a family elder brother Julien invited to live with myself. Elvira, wife of Julien, has worked as a secretary at Yves and Simone, and Jean-Louis, their son, began helping his uncle in the movie and with it acquired profession producer.
... Much later, in late 1980, after the death Signoret, Yves Montand, wrote: "We provided each other in" The Golden Dove, and the next day we had dinner together. For dessert, taking her hand, I whispered: "What you have thin wrists!" - And since then we never parted. "
    December 22, 1951 in the municipality of Saint-Paul-de-Vano they were married. With his hand witness was Paul Roux, the owner of "Golden Dove", with her - the poet Jacques Prévert. As a gift to the wedding of Pablo Picasso's picture is sent, made marker (which in those days was a rarity).
    In the life of Yves and Simone had many happy days. Yves Montand Simone adopted by a daughter - Catherine, born from the marriage with her first husband. Years passed, and Catherine, who became an actress, wrote a book about their lives. There are such words: "My mother was a fan of Montana. They tied stormy passion that no one else did not leave the place ... I never met a person more talented than Montana. Besides, he madly worked hard. Mum has to emerge from the bourgeois media, has been well educated and eager to share with all of Montana. And he was obsessed with the desire to succeed. Do not be Edith Piaf and Simone Signoret, he still would Montand ...»;
    In 1951 he started shooting the film "Wages of Fear". In May 1953, the film won the Grand Prix International Film Festival in Cannes, and had its world success. For Yves Montand film was the culmination of take-off to the movies and on stage. From October 1953 to March 1954, the first he gave two hundred solo concerts.
    In September 1959, one of Broadway grimubornyh roar with laughter writer Arthur Miller, his wife, Marilyn Monroe, wife of Montana and growth. French actor made his first appearance on the American scene, and his audience laughing for some reason in the most unexpected places. From their New York friends Montand learned that laughter caused the buttons on the fly, dazzling in the spotlight every time Yves thrust his hands into his pockets. So, fun and relaxed, he made the acquaintance, culminating in an international scandal.
    In April 1960 the couple visited America. Simon was given an Oscar for a major role in the film "Road to high society, and Yves Montand, after lengthy negotiations, agreed to appear in the picture" Let's make love "(" Billionaire "). His co-star was Marilyn Monroe, has declared: «After my husband's Eve, along with Brando is the most attractive man of all that I meet».
   Montand, strangely enough, never seen a film featuring Monroe. In English, he hardly spoke. However, Miller also believed that he "miraculously suited for the role. He and Marilyn are very real people. Each of them has an internal motor, which produces an unprecedented energy. Yves will be one of the major stars of the American screen. "
    So, in January 1960 the couple Millers Montana, and the couple moved into Room 20 and 21 of the Hotel Beverly Hills. Every evening the pair met for dinner. It soon began to express dissatisfaction Montan behavior on the set of Marilyn. Sometimes, without warning, she disappeared from the studio and could not appear until the evening. However, there were funny moments. Once Monroe reported that the censor will not miss the scene with kisses, if she would lie, because the impression that they Montand make love for real. "Well, - said Marilyn - we could just as easily do this and standing up!"
    In spite of professional differences, the Frenchman and Marilyn in the spring began an affair. It is all in a row, including a psychiatrist, began to say that the Frenchman looks like a hair's breadth as DiMaggio, her first husband, and that he is physically excites her. On the set it was obvious that they like to pretend to be lovers. Simone Signoret sensed danger, but, under contract, was forced to go to Europe. Arthur Miller, who was then in Los Angeles, then outside, closed his eyes to the danger, as seems to be resigned to the fact that marriage is not today, tomorrow it could collapse. Marilyn and Montand in their neighboring bungalows are increasingly left to their own devices.
    Most likely, Monroe to win the Frenchman has used his favorite trick: she knocked at his bungalow, having come in a mink coat, under which there was nothing.
    Once Arthur Miller found a couple in bed when he returned to the house to pick up forgotten. Soon stories began to circulate bed hotel maid. Affair became public.
    In the summer, when work on the film was completed, Montana through New York he returned to Paris. Meanwhile, Marilyn's on the East Coast has made a clever interception lover. She took off in a hotel room and was in the airport, laden with champagne. Short stop turned into a five-hour delay. Marilyn and Montana have seen in her limousine, where they were sitting arm in arm in the back seat. After the bewildered and embarrassed the French returned to Paris, where he was waiting for long-suffering Simone Signoret.
    Marilyn did not want to let him go. For many months she teshila the hope that he could persuade Montana to his side. But the more they are not met. Many years later, after the death Signoret, Montand admitted: "Wherever I was, no matter how he lived, Marilyn will always be with me. And I do not want to drive away her image. And if sometimes still gonyu, it just means that I'm trying to survive, and that's all. "
    Premiere of film "Let's make love" was held in Paris on 30 October. Everyone wanted to see at least on screen, as they love each other, Yves and Marilyn. After seeing there were many opposing views. Unanimity was manifested only in one thing - their affair made it possible for Yves and Marilyn deeper to reveal his talent.
    August 5, 1962 Yves Montand, together with the whole world learned about the tragedy of Marilyn Monroe. News for a long time knocked him out. He did not pour out their pain on the pages of newspapers and magazines. Stayed with her one on one ...
    Soon, life brought him another terrible news: October 14, 1963 All Paris mourned Edith Piaf. Yves Simon, and accompanied on his last journey a woman who was associated so much good in their lives ...
    The last decade of his life saw a lot of Simone Signoret. Her daughter wrote in her book: "My mother could not accept the fact that aging. Montand, who refused to grow old, adored Simon, but he loved life. I served as his alibi. He and I often make different spree. Sometimes I helped him in his adventures ... "
    In January 1985, Simone Signoret published novel "Farewell, Volodya, and in September, during the filming of her death came ...
    In May 1987, at the International Film Festival in Cannes, Yves Montand was chairman of the jury, and here he first appeared in public accompanied by his new girlfriend - Karol Amel. Young, beautiful, she shyly smiled. "When I was little, - recalled Carol - I watched him furtively and even then was full of admiration for the actor, a man of his career. I love him for what he is ... And I would have been the very last, if intervened in his life, wanting to change it. "
    Yves Montand was older than Karol Amel more than fifty years. He was happy as a child. After the death of Simone, Yves acquired a new, more spacious apartment on the Boulevard Saint-Germain, not far from the former.

    Carol knew about the secret pain Yves Montand. He seemed to have achieved everything in life. But there was the most important thing - my own child, extinct. And life has actually ended, and nothing we can not expect ... Valentin was born on December 29, 1988, when Yves Montana was already sixty-seven years. Ivan, learning about the birth of his son, said: "I feel so much better than the majority of young fathers. Of course, Valentin nothing will need, but I believe that the child needs the presence of the father and mother, and there can be nothing more. I can provide him with his presence as long as I will be released ... "
    But not for long lasted happy fatherhood. When the baby turned 2 years 11 months and 20 days, during the filming, Yves Montand felt ill and was taken to hospital Sanli. Carol remained with him all night. It seemed that the crisis had passed, he felt better, and, turning to his wife, he said: "Go home, but to anyone about anything do not say ..." Leaving it in the hour of the day called the hospital and was informed of his death.
    Yves Montand died Nov. 9, 1991. He went to their favorite women - Edith, Marilyn, Simone ... To those that had been lived stormy, but happy life.
    Montand take from life all that she gave him. He was damned jealous. He could tell a lot of fierce superfluous words, but, having calmed down, find the right words and say so tenderly and passionately, that he loved all forgiven. They adored him for his seething energy in violent movements and gestures, with his eyes, emitting a radiant light, with the tone of his beautiful voice, a tender and close embrace, give birth to the passion that turns the whole soul and pierces the heart.
    Yves Montand never considered myself a great: "I would rather call myself lucky. Do not like it when people call me an outstanding actor. I would call himself a man who managed to not just wasting time, but the encounter of outstanding people that have impacted on his life ... "
    After parting with Yves Montand, Edith Piaf said wonderful words: "If a man has beautiful hands, a truly beautiful, it can not be ugly inside. Hands do not lie, as a person. Especially if they gesture ... "
    When Yves Montand away from America, Marilyn Monroe was in such wretched condition that surrounded her friends were amazed. "What would have happened if Eve ... What do I do? He is so similar to me externally and internally ... In my life, a man appeared very close to me ... "
    Simone Signoret confessed to his close friend: "If you knew how much I love him, this guy ... Life without it - the emptiness ... "
    But Yves had other love affairs. One of them - two-year romance with actress Anne Gilbert Drosar, in which it was in those years had a daughter named Aurora. But an affair with her mother had already ended. When the actor lived with his beautiful young Karol Amel, in his life again invaded Ann Gilbert Drosar. But now no longer in love, and a lawsuit on the recognition of his father, Aurora. The fact of cohabitation with Ann Gilbert Montagne before the court denied. Recognize also the father of Aurora flatly refused. He did not want to go and genetic examination to determine paternity.
    By Montand legacy left by his legacy was to be divided between Catherine Allegra and Valentin. But Anne Gilbert Drosar contested the will, claiming that her Aurora was also recognized by his daughter, Montana. In 1994 a new court, taking into account the previous recognition Montand affair with Ann Gilbert, the testimony of witnesses and the resemblance of Aurora with the artist, has decided to recognize her daughter, Montana. This means that it is among his heirs. Relatives of Montana, of course, challenged this decision. The litigation lasted for almost four years. And the new court found that there is only one opportunity to establish the truth - a genetic examination of the remains of Montana. His tomb at the Paris cemetery of Pere Lachaise should be opened and the remains exhumed. This decision of the court in France was met with indignation. Minister of Health Bernard Kushnir, head of the National Committee on Ethics, Jean Pierre Shanzhdo and thousands of ordinary French people demanded that the remains of Montana had been left alone. In June 1998, a genetic examination yet been made. It turns out that Yves Montand was not the father of Aurora ...
