Famous actors & actresses
Charlie Chaplin

Charlie Chaplin, who
died in 1977, is
considered one of
the greatest and
funniest actors in
the history of the
cinema. During his
lifetime, he acted in
13 films, and he
wrote, directed and
acted in 69 other
films.

Chaplin was born in London in 1889 and first
acted when he was five years old. At the age
of eight, he joined a group of child dancers,
and at seventeen he set off for the USA with
a group of comedy actors. During a second
trip to the USA in 1912, and important film
director saw Chaplin acting a very funny part
in a play. As a result, Chaplin got his first film
part in the States.

As early as his second film,
Chaplin had developed his own
manner of acting, the one that
was to become world-famous.
He wore a small black hat, very
wide trousers , a moustache
and carried a stick that he
swung in the air as he walked.
Even his way of walking down
the street and turning a corner
could be recognized as his own.
In less than three months
Chaplin acted in 11 films. After a
short while he started directing
films himself. During his first
year, Chaplin acted in 35 films,
many of which, he wrote and
directed himself.

Chaplin’s earliest films were silent,
because the equipment for adding sound
to films had not yet been developed. The
development of films with sound became a
problem for Chaplin, as he was uncertain
about making films with dialogue. Instead,
he continued to make films without
dialogue, but he added music, which he
wrote himself. Two of his greatest films,
“City Lights” and “Modern Times” were of
this kind.

Chaplin’s later films,
however, were not well
received. He made only
six films between 1940
and 1966 and only the
first of these is still
popular today. Chaplin
lived the last years of his
life in Switzerland, where
he was buried in 1977.
Before he died, he was
honored in a number of
ways for his
contributions to the film
industry.


Charlie Chaplin was a comic,
a rebel and a humanist.
Those three little words are
the keys to discovering the
man who is still considered to
be one of the greatest artists
of the 20th century. They are
also the keys to appreciating
his unique ability to bring
tears of laughter to our eyes
one minute, and tears of
understanding the next.

Meryl Streep
Biography for
Meryl Streep
Date of birth
(location)
22 June 1949
Summit, New
Jersey, USA
Birth name
Mary Louise Streep
Height
5' 6" (1.68 m)
Considered
by many movie
reviewers to be the greatest living
film actress, Meryl Streep has
been nominated for the Academy
Award an astonishing 13 times,
and has won it twice. Born Mary
Louise Streep in 1949 in Summit,
New Jersey, Meryl's early
performing ambitions leaned
toward the opera. She became
interested in acting while a
student at Vassar and upon
graduation she enrolled in the
Yale School of Drama.
She
gave an outstanding
performance in her first film
role, Julia (1977), and the
next year she was nominated
for her first Oscar for her
role in The Deer Hunter
(1978). She went on to win
the Academy Award for her
performances in Kramer vs.
Kramer (1979), and Sophie's
Choice (1982) in which she
gave a heart wrenching
portrayal of an inmate
mother in a Nazi death camp.
A perfectionist
in her craft and
meticulous and painstaking in her
preparation for her roles, Meryl
turned out a string of highly
acclaimed peformances over the
next 10 years in great films like
Silkwood (1983); Out of Africa
(1985); Ironweed (1987); and A
Cry in the Dark (1988).
Her
career declined slightly
in the early 1990s as a result
of her inability to find suitable
parts, but she shot back to the
top in 1995 with her
performance as Clint
Eastwood's married lover in
The Bridges of Madison
County (1995) and as the
prodigal daughter in Marvin's
Room (1996). In 1998 she
made her first venture into the
area of producing, and was the
executive producer for the
moving ...First Do No Harm
(1997) (TV). A realist when
she talks about her future
years in film, she remarked
that "...no matter what
happens, my work will
stand..."
Streep
seldom appeared in heavy makeup, yet she
looked different in each picture-and sounded
different, too, going to great pains to master foreign
accents and regional dialects. She won a second
Oscar, now as Best Actress, for her portrayal of a
Polish woman who survives Nazi persecution during
World War 2 in Sophie's Choice (1982), and was
nominated for her turns in The French Lieutenant's
Woman (1981, appearing as both an actress and the
Victorian character she plays), Silkwood (1983, her
first workingclass character, a doomed factory
employee), Out of Africa (1985, as Danish author
Karen Blixen), Ironweed (1987, as Jack Nicholson's
boozing partner and fellow vagrant), A Cry in the
Dark (1988, as an Australian woman accused of
murdering her own baby), and Postcards From the
Edge (1990, as the weary actress overshadowed by
her overbearing mother).
Since
then, a more
"humanized" Streep has played
genteel comedy with Albert
Brooks in Defending Your Life
(1991) and over-the-top farce
opposite Goldie Hawn in Death
Becomes Her (1992). In 1994
she tackled her first action film,
The River Wild then starred
opposite Clint Eastwood in The
Bridges of Madison County
(1995). Because Meryl Streep
can do anything, and do it well,
the only question is, what will
she do next?
Personal quotations:
I
have always regarded myself as the pillar of my life.
The
great gift of human beings is that we have
the power of empathy.
Instant
gratification is not soon enough.

Audrey Hepburn
As an international film star, Audrey
Hepburn (1929-1993) personified
chic, cosmopolitan elegance, but
she spent the last decades of her
life traveling to the corners of the
earth most afflicted by poverty,
hunger and disease. she traveled
the world as Goodwill Ambassador
for UNICEF, the United Nations
Children's Emergency Fund.

Born in Belgium to a Dutch mother and a
British father, she grew up in the Netherlands
during the German occupation, and her
memory of the hunger and deprivation of
those years motivated her later efforts as a
champion of the world's children.

She received the Best
Actress Oscar for her
first appearance in an
American film, Roman
Holiday. After a
dazzling career as the
star of films such as
Sabrina, Breakfast at
Tiffany's and My Fair
Lady ,and so on
Roman Holiday,a movie
does not have the too
winding strange plot, has
not let the magnificent
scene which the human is
dazzled, has not made
the stunt effect which one
praises to the heavens,
only then simple black

actually because of had a most perfect female with
pure beauty--Ann and a most perfect man
with affection look--Joe among, but lets us
immerse, the feeling time is unable to cancel purely
and happy, closely is affecting the innumerable
happy young moods.

good actor…”
With the time passing by,Kate becomes
mature,she doesn’t like to pursuit of
fame and fortune,just wanna being a
good actress,just wanna show a good
performance to the audience.
Kate Winslet On Weight
When Kate acted as Rose in the Titanic, we
may easily attracted by her charming eyes, her
noble character, though she had a little baby fat at
that moment.
The mass media thought Kate was too fat, but
she said, “I am so not fat. I’m fit. I am who I am.
I’m healthy. I feel so much more comfortable this
way. For God’s sake, don’t argue with nature!”
Kate thought she was an imperfect one, but
nature is beauty, she could make efforts to
improve herself.

1999---present
Anne Hathaway is an American actress. She made her acting debut
in the 1999 television series Get Real, but her first prominent role
was in Disney's family comedy The Princess Diaries which
established her career. She wanted to break the "G-rated" image,
and consequently, in 2005 she co-starred in the adult-themed
Havoc and Brokeback Mountain, both requiring nude scenes.
Her acting style has been compared to that of Audrey Hepburn and
she cites Hepburn as her favorite actress. People magazine named
her one of 2001's breakthrough stars and in 2006 she was listed as
one of the world’s 50 Most Beautiful People.
In 2008 she earned widespread critical acclaim for her star turn in
the film Rachel Getting Married, for which she won numerous
awards, including a nomination for the Academy Award for Best
Actress.
Hathaway is involved with various charities. In 2008, she was
honored at Elle magazine's "Women in Hollywood" tribute, and
has also been honored for her work with The Step Up
Women's Network and The Human Rights Campaign.
In early 2007, Hathaway spoke of her experiences with
depression during her teenage years, saying that she
eventually overcame the disorder without medication. She
credited the decline in her stress level to quitting smoking, but
had started again in the wake of her stressful summer and the
end of her relationship with Raffaello Follieri(a nobbler). She
also declared her return to being a vegetarian.
The film which I prefer her most is
“The devil wears Prada”, in which
she starred as an assistant to a
powerful fashion magazine editor
portrayed by Meryl Streep.Hathaway
said that working on the film made
her respect the fashion industry a
great deal more than she had
previously and she cite Streep as her
idol.
