Yves Montand. WOMEN OF HIS LIFE
Yves Montand took everything from life that she gave him. He was devilishly jealous. In rage, he could say a lot of superfluous, but, having calmed down, to find and pronounce the necessary words so affectionately and passionately that his beloved forgave him. They adored him for the seething frantic energy in movements and gestures, for the eyes radiating radiant light, for the tonality of his beautiful voice, for the gentle and strong hugs that give rise to the passion that turns the soul and pierces the heart.
Or did you choose?
Ivo Livi was born on October 13, 1921. He began working at age 13 as an assistant hairdresser, and then as a docker in the port. He performed as a singer in small variety shows and restaurants, and then in the Parisian Folin-Berger and Moulin Rouge.
At the age of seventeen, Ivo Levy first appeared on the stage under the pseudonym Yves Montand. Singer Yves Montan (“Montan” comes from a phrase in the peculiar Italian-French dialect “Willow, Montage” (“Ivo, go home!”), – so his mother called him home in childhood). Yves’ parents were wary of their son’s occupation, but 50 francs a week were a convincing argument for continuing their singing career. At the end of 1938, Ivo first performed songs in a movie theater before the start of the show. Continue reading
ROMINA POWER and AL BANO – “FELICITA” FOR TWO
Romina Power and Al Bano sang many love songs. Love is a song for two. If she is happy, then the melody will be lively and cheerful. But it’s worth jealousy or insecurity to sneak into the souls of singers, how falsity is heard in music, and the text does not add up to poetry, and the once beautiful sounds of the sensational hit are becoming quieter …
American Beauty
She is a young beauty from Hollywood with the imperious surname Power (which means “power”, “power”). Her parents are not from ordinary inhabitants: father Tyrone is an Italian emigrant, an actor popular in 1930-40, and her mother is also an actress – Linda Christian, who dreamed of making a modeling career. It is easy to predict what fate was preparing for the rich girl Romina. At the age of 14, she shone on the screens, starring in several very candid films, and also recorded a solo album. Then the girl realized that she wanted to do music. Her mother, who dreamed of seeing her daughter as a brilliant actress, completely disagreed with this choice. She pinned hopes on Romina related to the realization of her own cherished, but not fulfilled, desire for a stellar career. Continue reading
RICH AND FAMOUS SHER
For almost 50 years, Cher remains one of the most successful women in show business. Singer, actress, author, director. Possessing such a voice performers in the world can be counted on the fingers. Cher belongs to the galaxy of singers of the 1970s who retained the title of “superstar” in the 2000s.
Not blonde
Once her name sounded a little longer – Sherilin Sargsyan La Pierre. The future megastar was born in California on May 20, 1946. She grew up in Los Angeles, where her mother earned a living by playing films and television. Therefore, Sherilyn had an idea of show business since childhood.
She was increasingly interested in music, theater and cinema. Her first idol was Audrey Hepburn – just because the singer Sherkak now says Cher, she was not a blonde. The indefatigable mother made four more attempts to arrange her personal life, but all to no avail. So it would be worth living for mother Cher and her two daughters in poverty, if not for one decent gentleman – the vice president of a small bank. Thanks God, thanks to my stepfather, life has improved … Continue reading
