Chapter 621: Her Majesty Catherine

The world only knows Audrey Hepburn.

But in fact, in the Hollywood industry, there is an unsurpassable gap between Audrey Hepburn and Katharine Hepburn in terms of their contributions to movies!

Katherine Hepburn is honored by the industry as "The Empress", or "Her Majesty Catherine" in order to put her on the same level as the Russian Tsar Catherine II.

It's not just four-time Oscar winners.

"I've read her autobiography, it's very legendary."

Hearing the news of Katherine Hepburn's death, Gal Gadot closed his eyes and prayed for a while, and then sighed softly.

"Autobiography?" Tang En smiled and shook his head, "That's a book she wrote herself, I don't know what it looks like to beautify herself."

Gal Gadot said in disapproval: "But she's really amazing. She never gives interviews to the media, doesn't attend celebrity gatherings, refuses unnecessary meetings, refuses to sign autographs for fans, and even the Oscars. don't go!"

Dunn nodded, "Indeed, she is maverick enough."

Gal Gadot said: "She is still a feminist fighter. In those days, women would be ridiculed for wearing pants and even break the law, but she was a pioneer. Moreover, in the smoky Hollywood at that time, she was not afraid of the powerful. Back then, Louis Mayer, the big boss of MGM, went up to kiss her when he saw she was beautiful, and she dared to scold him in person; also, the famous movie star John Barrymore called her into the locker room and wanted to **** her, As a result, she was beaten..."

Dunn listened and laughed dumbly.

However, it is indeed awe-inspiring.

It was Hollywood's big studio era, and what was the status of MGM's big boss, Louis Mayer?

He is more powerful than today's "Dawn Walker + Michael Eisner + Tom Rothman" combination!

He created the Oscars!

Countless actresses threw their arms into his arms, and he was like an emperor. Every afternoon in the office, he was blessed with all kinds of women.

In this case, Katharine Hepburn dared to openly contradict her, which shows that she has some courage.

"There are gains and losses. Offending Louis Mayer, really?"

Dunn shook his head, he is now the ruler, of course speaking from the ruling class, and said slowly: "The classic "Gone with the Wind" prepared by MGM, Katherine Hepburn went to compete for the heroine, what happened? Her role Taken by an unknown British actress!"

"If she doesn't offend Louis Mayer, what will happen to Vivien Leigh later? More importantly, because she offends Louis Mayer, many good projects have left her. Katherine Hepburn in those years was It has become a box office poison, and has been robbed of her halo by many new actresses."

"What is Louis Mayer's identity? In Hollywood, even Howard Hughes has to give in three points! Her Majesty Catherine in those years was almost the darkest moment in her life. Otherwise, with her artistic achievements and film skills, Not to mention four Oscar winners, seven or eight are nothing to worry about!"

Katharine Hepburn is almost an unsurpassed monument in performance!

Not only her performance, but even her voice is an indelible art classic of that era.

Director Joseph Mankiewicz filmed "Summer Soul", and it was only after listening to her voice that he had artistic inspiration and made this classic suspense film.

Anthony Hopkins had the opportunity to cooperate with His Majesty Katherine in the movie "The Lion in Winter". Her voice, which gave him epiphanies and made him fall, was the inspiration for his terrifying "Hannibal" image in The Silence of the Lambs.

Gal Gadot was shocked, "Is it wrong for her to reject Louis Mayer's harassment?"

Tang En shook his head and said, "Yes, but she can be more euphemistic."

Gal Gadot pouted, "In any case, Katharine Hepburn rose again."

Tang En said: "That's because the implementation of the anti-monopoly 'Paramount Act' ended the big studio system. And with the changing of the times, traditional musicals are no longer selling well, and the situation at MGM is not as good as before. She This is the opportunity to turn over. Her turn over is the push of the times. In fact, there is no one in Hollywood, and it is still Hollywood, let alone an actress?"

Gal Gadot was silent.

Tang En asked with a smile, "Do you know Ms. Jane Fonda?"

"You know, legendary actress and two-time Oscar winner. Last year, he divorced media mogul Ted Turner." Gal Gadot was a little puzzled.

"Do you know why you got divorced?"

"why?"

"Because of her failed plastic surgery, she has lost the opportunity to accompany Ted Turner to various high-end social occasions."

"Huh? Isn't it?"

Gal Gadot was stunned.

Dunn said: "This is the reality of the entertainment industry. Don't talk about Ted Turner, let's talk about her first husband Vadim, you know?"

Gal Gadot shook his head.

It's no wonder that Jane Fonda's autobiography won't be published until 2005, and she certainly doesn't know much about it.

Dunn said: "Vadim is a French director and the leader of Jane Fonda's art. He has the most classic saying-'jealousy is uneducated behavior'."

"what?"

"In order to retain her lover and continue her acting career, Jane Fonda often helps her husband, director Vadim, to make connections everywhere, find all kinds of women, and meet his sexual **** requirements."

"Ah?" Hearing such a large-scale topic, Gal Gadot forgot his shyness and opened his mouth in shock, "But I remember Ms. Jane Fonda's father, isn't it Henry Fonda?"

Dunn said: "So what? He's an Oscar winner, he's a well-known producer, and he's one of Hollywood's. No one can make an exception for the actresses of that era, not even Henry Fonda's daughter. "

Gal Gadot was about to cry, and wanted to pack up and go back to Israel.

Tang En said with a smile: "Don't worry, with me, no one in Hollywood would dare to bully you!"

Gal Gadot almost vomited blood, her face was flushed and moist, endured annoyance, and said angrily, "Dawn, did you do it on purpose?"

"what?"

Dunn looked innocent.

Gal Gadot gritted his teeth and said, "You must be trying to scare me on purpose. That was decades ago, and now in Hollywood, the environment has long since changed."

Tang En pointed to his face, some pointed to his chest, and said, "Even if a person has plastic surgery and becomes more radiant, he is still the same person in his bones. Hollywood is still Hollywood."

Gal Gadot took a breath, avoided his scorching gaze, lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, "I...I heard...you're more absurd than that Vadim director."

Tang En laughed twice and said lightly, "He's a shameless bastard. He dumped Jane Fonda when he got tired of playing. I won't abandon my woman."

Gal Gadot angrily wanted to throw a red wine on his face.

Shameless!

However, Dunn's words finally played a role.

What is Katherine Hepburn's status? She disobeyed Louis Mayer and nearly cut her career in half.

Not even Gal Gadot.

Having heard Dunn's words long ago, she might not even pour the hot coffee on Mark Wahlberg's face.

…

Katherine Hepburn's death caused a national sensation.

On that day, all TV stations in the United States were broadcasting films or documentaries of her before her death. Even starz TV broadcasted her fourth Oscar-winning movie "Golden Pond" in prime time that night.

On this day, the White House sent a message of condolences to President Bush and his wife: "We admire her wisdom and wisdom, and she will be remembered forever as our country's precious artistic wealth."

In her hometown, the flag was flown at half-staff in silence.

The governor of Connecticut attended her funeral in person. (private funeral)

The Hollywood Walk of Fame is full of flowers.

Broadway is also on tonight, the lights are always on...

Gal Gadot, who was still slightly saddened by Katherine Hepburn's death, has now been immersed in a sea of ​​happiness.

The King's Landing Villa 5, near the Gold Coast, is the kind of top-of-the-line beachfront villa that only appears in the movies.

When she saw the maids complimenting her left and right, she felt that she had become the princess of this world.

No one can say no to this world-class lifestyle and dream mansion.

"Don, thank you!"

Gal Gadot suppressed his excitement and called Dunn.

Tang En said with a smile, "I want to thank you too. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com thank you for helping me look at the house."

Gal Gadot blushed a little and whispered, "That... The maid said there are a lot of clothes and jewelry here, all for me..."

"That's right."

"Ah? Is it really mine?"

"Didn't you look at the size? They are all purchased according to your body shape. You can wear whichever style you like."

Gal Gadot was frightened by Dunn's arrogance, "You... how do you know my size?"

Dunn smiled and said, "Didn't you participate in the Miss Israel pageant? I have your resume."

Gal Gadot said coquettishly, "So you're investigating me."

"Of course, if I don't investigate you, how can I trust you to take care of the house for me? It's a new house. Apart from me, you are the only hostess here."

"That's not it..." Gal Gadot fawn rammed, his face hot, "I'm a tenant, not a hostess."

Tang En made a haha ​​and changed the subject, "Although Villa No. 5 is not big, it is fully equipped. Look, if you need anything else, just tell the housekeeper."

"Well, thank you."

Gal Gadot's voice was a little shy.

This feeling... She seems to be a canary being kept.

Weird!

She instinctively wanted to refuse.

But when I came to the closet, I saw all kinds of high-end clothes that were glamorous and bright, and I was so excited that my eyes were almost blinded.

Is there any chance of rejection?

She picked out a Chanel white pajamas and put it on. When she looked in the mirror, she felt that she had become a fairy. She took a deep breath and shouted out the door, "Someone!"

A maid came over quickly, "Miss, is there anything?"

"Take me to the pool."

"Yes."
