He quit school at 11, held various manual-labor jobs, and was singing in local music halls by the time he was a teenager. He soon moved to Paris, where he caught they eye of Edith Piaf , who got him his first movie role in her film Étoile sans lumiére [star without light] (1946) and aided him in his singing and recording career. The epitome of Gallic charm and savoir faire, Montand was particularly admired for his songs about Paris and his sophisticated one-man shows. From the 1940s to the 90s he made 59 films, mostly French, some in English. Among the best-known are The Wages of Fear (1953), Let's Make Love (1960), costarring Marilyn Monroe , Vivre pour vivre [live for life] (1967), Costa-Gravas's Z (1969), Tout va bien [all's well] (1972), State of Siege (1973), and Jean de Florette (1986). He was married (1951-85) to the French actress Simone Signoret (1921-85).
