<p> DIED. Yves Montand, 70, durable French entertainer who in
later life achieved international film stardom; of a stroke; in
Senlis, France. The Italian-born Montand gained fame as a singer
and protege of his lover Edith Piaf, with whom he appeared in
his first film (Star Without Light). He also co-starred with
Marilyn Monroe (Let's Make Love) and Simone Signoret (The
Crucible), his real-life wife for 34 often tempestuous years.
A longtime left-wing activist who later moderated some of his
views, Montand played an antiright maverick in Costa-Gavras' Z
and won highest acclaim for his role as a scheming peasant in
Claude Berri's two-part film adaptation of Marcel Pagnol's Jean
de Florette and Manon of the Spring. At 67 he became a father
for the first time with the birth of his son by companion Carole
Amiel.
