7 Vivien Leigh
7 費雯·麗
Vivien Leigh was born Vivian Mary Hartley on the evening of Wednesday November 5th, 1913 in her parents’home in Darjeeling, India. She moved to England with her family at the age of 6 in 1920.
1913年11月5日星期三的傍晚，費雯·麗出生于父母印度大吉嶺家中，取名為斐雯·瑪麗·哈特麗。1920年，在她6歲那年，隨家遷往英格蘭。
On August 21st, 1934 she arrived at Lime Grove Studios to begin work on her first film, Things are Looking Up. During this period Vivien found a new favorite novel that she re-read several times — Gone with the Wind. She even asked her agent to submit her name to the widely publicized search to find an actress for Scarlett. After a remarkably well timed introduction to David O. Selznick by her Hollywood agent on December 10th, the first night of location shooting, Vivien did screen tests for her dream role. Both Selznick and the film’s director George Cukor, were impressed by her talent and beauty.
1934年8月21日，她來到萊姆格魯富制片廠開始拍攝她的第一部影片《欣欣向榮》。就在這期間，費雯·麗發(fā)現(xiàn)了一本心愛的小說，并反復閱讀，這就是 《亂世佳人》。因為當時制片廠正到處尋找飾演郝思佳的演員，她于是要求經(jīng)紀人把她的名字填表寄出。12月10曰她的好萊雞經(jīng)紀人看準時機，把她推薦給大衛(wèi)·塞爾思尼克，第一晚在外景拍攝點，費雯·麗為她夢寐以求的角色試镋。塞爾思尼克和導演喬治·庫克都為她的天賦與美貌所折服了。
As soon as the filming was finished, Vivien did a screen test for the film, Rebecca. She didn’t seem right for the part-qualities which made her ideal for Scarlett now made her unsuited for such a restrained role, Vivien next was given the lead role in MGM’s Waterloo Bridge as part of her new Hollywood counter. Meanwhile, she prepared for the grand opening of GWTW in Atlanta. It opened to great reviews and Vivien became the talk of the town. Right after Christmas, she began work on Waterloo Bridge, talking ballet lessons for a scene early in the film, and voice lessons to improve her acting technique.
電影剛拍攝完畢，費雯·麗便馬上為電影《蝴蝶夢》試鏡。但她似乎并不適合這個角色，她的氣質(zhì)使她成為飾演郝思佳的理想人選，但對于這樣一個內(nèi)向的角色卻并不合適。費雯·麗接受的第二個角色是米高梅公司《魂斷藍橋》的女主角，這也是她和好萊塢重新簽約的一部分。同時，她為《亂世佳人》在亞特蘭大的大型首映式做準備。影片引起巨大轟動，費雯·麗成為人盡皆知的人物，圣誕節(jié)剛過，她即投入《魂斷藍橋》的拍攝，并為影片初始的情節(jié)學習芭蕾舞，參加聲音培訓班以提高演技。
In the summer of 1950, Vivien left England to return to Hollywood after nearly a decade absence, and began work on the film version of A Street Car Named Desire. Shooting started August 14th and Warner Brothers paid Vivien $100,000 for her 3 months of work. Vivien purposely made herself look older and unflattering for the film using heavy makeup, wige and drastic lighting which would hide her still beautiful features. Audiences in the autumn of 1951 were stunned to see such a different person, barely recognizing the actress that played Scarlett so exquisitely a decade earlier. The resulting film in 1951 was still powerful, perhaps Vivien’s finest achievement, winning her a second best actress Oscar.
1950年的夏天，經(jīng)過十年的沉寂，費雯·麗離開了英格蘭，來到好萊塢，開始拍攝電影《欲望號街車》。電影開拍于8月14日，華納兄弟公司付給費雯·麗十萬美元作為她3個月工作的報酬。在電影中費雯·麗為了真實，有意使自己顯得衰老些。使用濃妝、假發(fā)和強烈的燈光來掩蓋她仍然美麗的容貌。1951年的秋天，觀眾驚訝地看見了一個完全不同的人物，幾乎不能確認這就是十年前出色地扮演過郝思佳的演員。1951年的這部影片結(jié)果仍然造成轟動，也許是費雯·麗最成功的作品，為她再次贏得奧斯卡最佳女演員獎。
