Fred MacMurray

Notable films in MacMurray's career:. In 2004, his stepdaughter Catherine (Simone Signoret's daughter from her first marriage) published a book titled "World Upside Down" where she revealed that Montand had abused her sexually since she was five years old. On his passing in 1991, Fred MacMurray was interred in the Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, California, and was survived by his wife, June Haver. He is buried in the Père Lachaise Cemetery, Paris, France. In 1960, he played a slimy, two-timing corporate executive in Wilder's Oscar-winning comedy The Apartment. In his later years, he maintained a home in Provence until his death. He played the role of Walter Neff, an insurance salesman who plots with a wealthy heiress to murder her husband in the film noir classic Double Indemnity (1944). His only child, Valentin Montand, the son of his assistant Carole Amiel, was born in 1988.

In spite of his "nice guy" image, MacMurray often stated that the best film roles he ever played were ones where he was cast against type in two films for Billy Wilder. He was nominated for a Cesar Award for "Best Actor" in 1980 for the film "I comme Icare" and again in 1984 for "Garçon !". He was typecast for decades as a lovable, friendly fellow, and he capitalized on this by starring in a number of live-action comedies for Walt Disney during the later part of his career, with his biggest hits being The Shaggy Dog and The Absent-Minded Professor.
