The book also implies that Montand, an internationally successful singer, cinema heart-throb and well-known womaniser who died, aged 70, in 1991, seduced his stepdaughter when she was below the age of consent. M. Castaldi reports that his mother once told him: "You should know that when I was expecting you, I prayed that you would be a boy and not a girl."
