Vignon’s career kicked off in France during the 1950s, as he performed as part of a cabaret before starring in a series of French films.
In 1963, he left Europe for New York, opening for stand-up comedian Woody Allen at supper club The Blue Angel.
Performing on The Ed Sullivan Show, he notably sang a duet with Liza Minnelli in 1964.
That appearance led him to become a regular guest on Johnny Carson and Merv Griffin’s programs.
In 1968, he had a role in the action film The Devil’s Brigade.
Other of his credits include Andre in the TV series Gilmore Girls and Monsieur Lazare in the soap opera Days of Our Lives.
Vignon was also a successful singer, releasing his first album in 1964, titled Because I Love You.
He is survived by his partner Suzie Summers and daughters Marguerite Vignon Gaul and Lucy Brank.
