• Was he of Jewish heritage? Some people say that Livi is from Levi. --1523 16:00, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
  • No, he wasn't. His parents were Catholic peasants. A few German officials thought he was Jewish during WWII because of his name, and almost had him deported a few times, but that's about it. JackO'Lantern 00:32, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

• I recall (I was watching) that he performed during the initial Telstar broadcast. This makes him the first entertainer to perform via satellite. At the time this was a source of great French pride because the English were not prepared to broadcast. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobcrunch (talk • contribs) 12:02, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Can't see any sources in this article. Nor can I find any reference other than this article that Catherine Allegret alleged that he abused her 'from the age of five', so I've deleted it for now. By all means restore it, but it would be nice to have something more substantial than the ISB number of her autobiography. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.136.52.196 (talk) 16:54, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
