Audrey Kathleen Hepburn-Ruston奥黛丽・赫本
我们熟悉奥黛丽・赫本，是从《罗马假日》开始。她扮演的楚楚动人的安妮公主一头黑色短发，外貌优美脱俗，体态轻盈苗条，宛如落入凡间的天使。从那儿以后，奥黛丽・赫本，一个近乎完美的电影女神，她天使般的外表和超凡脱俗的表演，开始被世界记住。About Hepburn 关于赫本
Audrey Kathleen Hepburn-Ruston was a British actress and humanitarian.Although modest about her acting ability,Hepburn remains one of the world’s most famous actresses of all time who is remembered as a film and fashion icon of the twentieth century.She was placed,by the American Film Institute,among the five greatest female stars in the history of American cinema.
Born in Ixelles,Belgium,Hepburn spent her childhood chiefly in the Netherlands,including German-occupied Arnhem during the Second World War.In Arnhem,she studied ballet before moving to London in 1948 where she continued to train in ballet while working as a photographer’s model.Upon deciding to pursue a career in acting,she performed as a chorus girl in various West End musical theatre productions.After appearing in several British films and starring in the 1951 Broadway play Gigi,Hepburn gained instant Hollywood stardom for playing the Academy Award-winning lead female role in Roman Holiday(1953).Later performing in Sabrina(1954),The Nun’s Story(1959),Breakfast at Tiffany’s(1961),Charade(1963),My Fair Lady(1964)and Wait Until Dark(1967),Hepburn became one of the great screen actresses of Hollywood’s Golden Age who received nominations for Academy Awards,Golden Globes and BAFTAs as well as winning a Tony Award for her theatrical performance in the 1954 Broadway play Ondine.Hepburn remains one of few entertainers who have won Oscar,Emmy,Grammy,and Tony Awards.
Devoting much of her later life to UNICEF,Hepburn’s war-time struggles inspired her passion for humanitarian work and,although Hepburn had contributed to the organization since the 1950s,she worked in some of the most profoundly disadvantaged communities of Africa,South America and Asia in the late eighties and early nineties.In 1992,Hepburn was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of her work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.
赫本的魅力并非来源于她的外貌，而是她由内而外散发出的清新隽永的脱俗气质。不论是《罗马假日》中的安妮还是《蒂凡尼的早餐》中的霍莉・戈莱特丽，赫本的本色表演将她自身所具有的清澈、淡雅气质在电影中得到完美体现。绝大部分人都会承认并信服这样一个事实，奥黛丽・赫本是将古典与时尚结合得最完美的一个女性。除却了赫本的高尚品格使得她魅力永存外，她对衣着的独特品位及感觉，使她创造出的“赫本风格”在一代又一代的女性中间风靡并流行开来，这些都对女性自身认知程度的发掘与提升起到了非同凡响的作用。她在银幕上高雅迷人，频频出现在世界各大杂志的封面上；在生活中，她随和、真实，也不介意别人拍摄下她的动人时刻。
从《罗马假日》起，奥黛丽・赫本几乎每演一部电影，都会带起一股新的流行浪潮。即使现在重看这些老片，赫本的装扮仍然光彩夺目。提起“赫本”这个名字，叫人联想到的是纪梵希、弗来格默、芭宝丽等一系列设计大师的名字。像是从天而降的缪斯女神，赫本为这些品牌注入了不朽的灵魂，令天下所有的女子为之心醉神迷。

Vivien Leigh费雯・丽
这位被丘吉尔赞誉为“上帝的艺术品”的女子，就是电影史上最光彩夺目的天才演员之一，戏剧舞台上难得的瑰宝，为了爱情和艺术，把短暂的一生燃烧成最灿烂焰火的费雯・丽。About Vivien Leigh 关于费雯・丽
Vivien Leigh,Lady Olivier was an English actress.She won two Best Actress Academy Awards for playing“southern belles”:Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind(1939)and Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire(1951),a role she also played on stage in London’s West End.
Leigh was born Vivian Mary Hartley in Darjeeling,Bengal Presidency,British India,to Ernest Hartley,a British Officer in the Indian Cavalry,and Gertrude Robinson Yackje.Leigh’s parents were married in Kensington,London,in 1912.In 1917,Ernest Hartley was transferred to Bangalore,while Gertrude and Vivian stayed in Ootacamund.Vivian Hartley made her first stage appearance at the age of three,reciting“Little Bo Peep”for her mother’s amateur theatre group.Gertrude Hartley tried to instill in her daughter an appreciation of literature and introduced her to the works of Hans Christian Andersen,Lewis Carroll,and Rudyard Kipling,as well as stories of Greek mythology and Indian folklore.An only child,Vivian Hartley was sent to the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Roehampton,England,(now Woldingham School)in 1920 at the age of six-and-a-half.One of her friends at the convent school was the future actress Maureen O’sullivan,to whom she expressed her desire to become“a great actress”.
She was a prolific stage performer,frequently in collaboration with her then-husband,Laurence Olivier,who directed her in several of her roles.During her 30-year stage career,she played roles ranging from the heroines of Noël Coward and George Bernard Shaw comedies to classic Shakespearean characters such as Ophelia,Cleopatra,Juliet and Lady Macbeth.
Lauded for her beauty,Leigh felt that it sometimes prevented her from being taken seriously as an actress.However,ill health proved to be her greatest obstacle.For much of her adult life Leigh had what is now known as bipolar disorder.She earned a reputation for being difficult to work with,and her career suffered periods of inactivity.She also suffered recurrent bouts of chronic tuberculosis,first diagnosed in the mid-1940s.Leigh and Olivier divorced in 1960,and she worked sporadically in film and theatre until her death from tuberculosis in 1967.
费雯・丽成功地饰演《乱世佳人》的斯佳丽・奥哈拉和《欲望号街车》的布兰奇・杜波依斯，两度获得奥斯卡最佳女主角奖。1999年，她被美国电影学会选为百年来最伟大的女演员第16名。《乱世佳人》中斯佳丽狡黠的眼神，《魂断蓝桥》中玛拉纯真无邪的笑脸、《欲望号街车》中迟暮美人经典剧照的无奈与疯狂，是费雯・丽留给世界影坛的不朽形象。
费雯・丽被认为是她所处时代最美丽的女演员之一，导演们在她的大部分影片中强调了这一点。当问及她是否认为她的美貌成为障碍时，她说：“人们认为如果你看起来相当不错，你不能表演，而我只在乎表演。我认为美貌是一个很大的障碍，如果你真的希望看起来像你饰演的角色，而那个角色不一定像你。”

Greta Garbo葛丽泰・嘉宝
葛丽泰・嘉宝生于瑞典斯德哥尔摩，逝于美国纽约。她是电影史上最著名的女明星之一。曾获颁奥斯卡终身成就奖。About Garbo 关于嘉宝
Greta Lovisa Gustafsson better known as Greta Garbo,was a noted Swedish actress and recluse.She was a major star in the United States during the silent film era and the Golden Age of Hollywood.In 1999,the American Film Institute ranked Garbo fifth on their list of greatest female stars of all time.
Garbo launched her career with a major role in the Swedish film The Saga of Gosta Berling.Her performance caught the attention of Louis B.Mayer,who brought her to Hollywood in 1925 to work at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer(MGM).She became a star of silent films.
Garbo was one of the few actresses to negotiate the transition to sound.Her first talking film was Anna Christie(1930),for which she was nominated for an Academy Award.MGM marketers enticed the public with the catchphrase“Garbo talks!”In 1932,her popularity allowed her to dictate the terms of her contract,and she became increasingly choosy about her roles.
She received the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress for Anna Karenina(1935),but she considered her performance as the courtesan Marguerite Gautier in Camille(1936)her best performance;the role gained her a second Academy Award nomination.After working exclusively in dramatic films,Garbo turned to comedy with Ninotchka(1939)and Two-Faced Woman(1941).For Ninotchka,Garbo was again nominated for an Academy Award;Two-Faced Woman did well at the box office,but was a critical failure.
After 1941,she retired after appearing in 27 films,and became increasingly reclusive.She has been indelibly linked to one of her lines from the film Grand Hotel:“I want to be alone”.She later remarked,“I never said,‘I want to be alone.’I only said,‘I want to be let alone.’There is all the difference.”To the end of her life,Garbo-watching became a sport among the paparazzi and the media,but she remained elusive up until her death in 1990 at the age of 84.
在一个明星们绞尽脑汁，不惜使尽浑身解数，“争先恐后”出现在公众视线的年代，很难理解一位正处于事业巅峰的名人竟然能淡泊名利，远离鲜花和掌声，毅然抽身隐退！她是否是厌倦了扮演“象征”的日子，仅仅是奢望回归“人”的正常生活？(嘉宝在《瑞典女王》中的台词，也许是最贴近她自身写照的电影)，或许她是如此脆弱，担心万一有朝一日招致挫败时，无力面对摄相机镜头？
现存的可以对嘉宝进行评价的唯一的根据就是她留给世人的影片。同其他虚构人物玛里琳・门罗或是詹姆斯・迪安相比，嘉宝至少还留有作品。尽管她在早期作品如《罗曼史》或《激流》中的表现确实是愚蠢的，但在《卡米尔》《瑞典女王》和《尼诺奇卡》中的表现的确是可圈可点，至今令人难以忘怀。或许没有影星在退出银幕这么多年后，仍能被观众久久追忆，但葛丽泰・嘉宝却做到了！
