The two actors are shown in a black and white publicity photograph for the 1960 film Let's Make Love
Inscribed Photograph signed: "To John/ Tony/ Randall" and "Yves Montad 1987", B/w 10x8. A publicity photograph for the 1960 film Let's Make Love starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Randall and Yves Montad. The film, directed by George Cukor, tells the story of billionaire Jean-Marc Clement (played by Montand) who learns that he is to be satirized in an off-Broadway show, and decides to pass himself off as the actor playing him in order to get closer to the star of the show, Amanda Dell (played by Monroe). Best remembered as Felix Unger in the television series The Odd Couple (1970-1975), TONY RANDALL (1920-2004) was an accomplished radio and stage actor by the late 1940s. He also served in WWII as a member of the United States Army Signal Corps. In the 1950s, he turned towards television to continue his entertainment career, eventually starring in successful comedies like Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (1957), and Pillow Talk (1959) after a slew of minor television roles. The Odd Couple was the culmination of his television career, leading to The Tony Randall Show (1976) and the Emmy-winning Dear Sydney (1981-1982). He continued acting into the 21st century, with his final role in the film It's About Time (2005). His game show appearances probably could have encompassed a career all on their own: he racked up dozens of appearances on shows like The (New) $25,000 Pyramid (1973-1981), Password All Stars (1963-1972), and What's My Line? (1956-1967). In 1991, Randall founded the National Actors Theatre, a company based in New York City that was active until his death in 2004. Actor YVES MONTAND (1921-1992), actually born in Italy, grew up in France with his anti-fascist refugee parents. Discovered by his first celebrity lover, French chanteuse Edit Piaf, Montand appeared in French films from 1946, distinguishing himself in such movies as The Wages of Fear (1953) and Jean de Florette (1986). He is perhaps best remembered by American audiences for his roles in politically charged films of director Costa-Gavras: Z (1969) and State of Siege (1973). He was married to renowned French actress Simone Signoret from 1951 until her death in 1985. Lightly worn at edges. Pencil notes (unknown hand) on verso. Otherwise, fine condition.
