Yves Montand showed great respect. The humble way he said they bonded because they both came from the 'lower classes', said a lot about him. The rest is Marilyn's business, nobody else's, and he made it clear many times over the years that he refused to gossip about her.

@@romaniandays I understand how Mr Miller would be embarrassed by his wife. He was much more talented than she was. Yves Montand probably had a short-lived affair with MM, but he luckily escaped to France as soon as the movie was in the can. Yves Montand's wife wrote in her memoirs that Montand got very impatient with MM when he was on the set waiting for the grande dame to make her very late entrance. Apparently he wrote her a kind letter to let her know that she was behaving strangely.

@@romaniandays Yes, I totally agree. Arthur Miller has much to be ashamed of. He hid behind this false image of the ultimate intellectual who was kind enough to marry a stupid crazy blond... Just.... YUCH. If you listen to interviews with Marilyn you can clearly hear her intelligence. If she had a better manager, and she had lived in more feminist times, she would never have allowed herself to be marketed as a dumb blond. But that was Hollywood in the 40s and 50s, so she knew the sharks she was swimming with. Why wasn't Miller smart enough to see her intelligence about the industry, about being a woman at that time. As for mental health, there is no doubt that Marilyn had good reason to struggle with intense mental trauma. Again, this would have been nothing new in Hollywood in the 50s. Many Hollywood figures were survivors of the Great Depression and the many ways the Depression shredded families and hurt children. John Garfield is another star who comes to mind; Marlon Brando also suffered mightily to control his emotional health. Movies like The Snake Pit and Suddenly Last Summer demonstrate that Hollywood was examining this issue. In a video taped interview of Gene Kelly's daughter Kerry Kelly she states, "Everyone in Hollywood was in therapy, except for my father." So the tough guy dancer from Pittsburgh missed the memo, but it seems that the ultra intellectual Arthur Miller wasn't paying attention either. So Miller decides to undermine his beautiful intelligent wife, instead of paying attention to the only part of the wedding vow that matters, "for better and for worse". What a loser. "Things got hard, so I'm out." Sorry this is so long, I sometimes have strong feelings about old movies, classic Hollywood, etc. Oops. 🎭🎟️📽️🎭

I have no doubt that Marilyn suffered from what is now labeled bipolar II disorder. Bipolar I gives you sadness punctuated by high moods, II gives you incredible lows with what most of us would describe as OK moods. More than once she described herself as genuinely miserable, she was obviously a person who never should have been in Freudian therapy as she was at Lee Strasburgs insistence because it was not designed or understood for trauma victims. She accomplished a lot for a waif from L.A., God bless her.

*Before you praise this man please be aware of what M. Castaldi (the step grandson of Yves Montand) remembers - his step-grandfather was a cynical, cruel man who often behaved appallingly towards women. He said that Montand once told him about his brief affair with Marilyn Monroe and that she had "beautiful breasts but, otherwise, was nothing special". One of the greatest stars of the French cinema, the late Yves Montand, had a secret affair with overtones of incest for many years with his stepdaughter, Catherine Allégret, according to a book published yesterday. The book, written by her son, Benjamin Castaldi, a French television presenter, implies that the relationship began when Mme Allégret was very young and was condoned by her mother, the actress Simone Signoret*

People also talked shit about Marilyn (?!). Yves was also very famous in his country which attracts greed to make money off his name, especially from a dead man who can't defend himself - sounds familiar? All I know is Yves never badmouthed Marilyn like her many other co-stars and directors did, which is a big deal especially given that he was actually involved with her unlike the others the delusional men who dreamt of bedding her

@@sosoo000 Montand's wife wrote in her memoirs that it was impossible for him to have said what you report falsely here. Montand did not speak english. For the movie with MM he memorized his lines phonetically. He wouldn't know what a schoolgirl crush would be. Simone Signoret's memoirs = Nostalgia Is Not Anymore What It Used To be. Something she saw written on a wall In New York City. Signoret won the Oscar for Room At The Top. She was a good actress and a good person, she never held a grudge against MM. In France people are less hypocritical about affairs and so on.

You’re too caught up in how Americans are and fail to see the topic at hand. Marilyn was indeed a wonderful and unique person, by the judgement of those who knew and worked with her. That she died young only solidified her legend. But regardless of that, she was the person that she was.
