In the last issue of "Royal Storm", the waste sister wrote to everyone that Grace, the princess of Monaco, who was once a Hollywood superstar.
Today we are going to open a new series, Hollywood actress ↓
In the first issue, Sister Waste plans to tell you the story of Julie Andrews↓
Just saying that this name may not be familiar to everyone, but this picture ↓ should have been seen by the babies, right?
Yes, Julie is the heroine of the movie "The Sound of Music" + the original singer of the famous song "Doraemon" in the play.
This film, which was released 57 years ago, not only won numerous awards, but was canonized in Douban ↓
It also allowed Julie to gain countless fans at home and abroad↓
Looking back on Julie's life, although it is as healing and inspirational as this movie, it is not smooth sailing, but full of thorns...
Julie was born in England in 1935 to a pianist mother and a craft teacher to a father.
In Julie's memory, every night her father would gently read poems for her and coax her to sleep...
However, julie's parents divorced when she was 4 years old, and soon a tenor singer named Ted became her stepfather.
Although Ted was nice to himself, he didn't know why, Julie always had an inexplicable fear of him ↓
But this emotion did not last long before it was replaced by a new fear...
In September 1939, when World War II began, Julie's family had to follow the crowd to hide east, often in air raid shelters.
It is said that Julie's singing talent was revealed during this period...
The sound of cannon fire and sirens outside the cave was constant, and the people in the cave were panicked; young Julie sang like an angel, soothing people's hearts.
After the end of World War II, out of professional sensitivity, the pianist mother and tenor stepfather decided to let Julie undergo professional vocal training...
Ted personally instructed Julie to sing, his mother played the piano, and the three formed the "Andrews Family Trio"↓
So, from the age of 12, Julie followed her parents around the stage and accumulated a wealth of stage experience.
In terms of training Julie to sing, Ted can indeed be regarded as a good father...
He networked Julia, and at the age of 13, she was given the opportunity to perform at the Royal Court, singing for Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.
Under Ted's nurturing and arrangement, Julie became a popular child star in London's West End as a teenager.
But in other respects, Ted is an incompetent father...
He has a problem with alcoholism, and every time he gets drunk, he will play drunk and play crazy, and from time to time there will be violent acts.
In addition, what Julie could not accept the most was that her stepfather was "too close" to herself...
According to Julie, when she was 9 years old, Ted put his feet between his legs on the pretext of "keeping warm".
When Julie was 16, Ted forced her on the pretext of teaching her to kiss.
In addition to the troubles of life, at this time, Julie's "singing career" is also facing an unprecedented crisis...
As she grew older, her child star effect faded, and Julie's family had to consider her transformation.
But in the eyes of Julie's mother, her daughter's strabismus, O-shaped legs, and uneven teeth seem to be difficult to become a star when she grows up.
In 1954, julie, who had just come of age, decided to leave her hometown of England and go to Broadway in the United States to look for opportunities.
As the center of American theatrical art, there are countless young people who come to Broadway every year to break into the world, and most of them are fruitless...
However, with super strength and a little luck, Julie's first appearance in the Broadway opera "The Boy Friend" won unanimous praise from all walks of life.
The media described her as a "blonde heroine" ↓ and julie's mother's mouth of the little girl with "strabismus, O-legs, and uneven teeth" does not seem to be the same person at all.
With this opera, Julie also won the World Theatre Award.
To say that Julie's vision of selecting works is really too good to be true...
2 years later, she fell in love with a musical drama "Lady Of The Lady", in which she played the flower seller Eliza ↓
The opera was the hit of the year, with 8 rehearsals a week, totaling more than 2,000 performances; the soundtrack album even sold 4 million copies.
"Lady" is not only very popular on Broadway, but even all over Europe...
During this time, Julie also followed the troupe's tour back to her hometown of England, when the Queen, the former Prime Minister, the Lord, and the superstars flocked to see it.
Also during the homecoming tour, Julie and her own green plum bamboo Martini met again, and the two fell in love.
In 1959, at the age of 24, Julie entered the halls of marriage.
After marriage, Julie continued to perform "Lady". The musical continued on Broadway for 6 years and did not end until 1962.
I don't know if the babies have seen the movie version of "Lady Miao" before? The lead actor is Audrey Hepburn.
The film is based on the musical of the same name. At that time, the change of the heroine during the adaptation also caused a big storm...
In the early 1960s, Warner Bros. founder Jack Warner bought the film adaptation rights to the musical "Lady of the Flowers" at a huge sum of money to create an ace song and dance film.
However, when casting, Jack Warner did not consider Julie at all, but frequently extended an olive branch to Audrey Hepburn.
At that time, Julie had been acting flower girls for 5 years, and in the minds of song and dance audiences, Julie was the flower girl herself. To this end, Hepburn also initially declined the casting invitation.
Although Julie herself said that she would like to try to star in the movie version of the flower girl...
However, in the minds of the capitalists, for box office considerations, the priority of casting is Hepburn> Elizabeth Taylor >... > Julie, even if Hepburn does not play, she will not be able to take her turn.
Such a sorting, of course, hit Julie a lot...
Who would have thought that it wouldn't be long before the highlight of catching horses came. Disney took a fancy to Jolie and invited her to play "Happy People".
This movie is based on the famous fairy tale "Aunt Mary Who Comes with the Wind"
Julie played the heroine Aunt Mary in it. Many people describe her as sweet and cute, eccentric, and can "sweeten a bunch of people" when she laughs.
This live-action + animated film was novel and well-made, and once released, it was widely popular, and eventually won the annual box office title, making Jack Warner regret that his intestines were green.
Fortunately, Hepburn, who played the flower girl in the movie version of Lady Of The, was also angry enough, which did not make Jack Warner laugh to death by the melon eating crowd.
However, although Hepburn helped Warner fight for anger, he was miserable by the other party...
It is said that After Hepburn learned that he was going to act in a song and dance film, he trained hard for several months, and even practiced until his throat was bleeding.
Unexpectedly, Warner just wanted to use her fame, and did not believe in her singing level at all, so he changed almost the entire sound of the film to a substitute voice behind Hepburn's back.
Don't let the heroine who can sing and dance, go to the substitute to help the heroine of the song and dance film "fake singing"?
Think about it, the entertainment industry half a century ago is really no different from today
After the fake singing matter was exposed, it became a big scandal, and even Hepburn did not even enter the top five of the Oscar for best actress that year...
However, as far as IP is concerned, Warner is indeed not wrong. At the 1964 Academy Awards, "Lady" won 8 awards + 4 nominations, but it lacked a best actress.
Because the film queen of that year was taken by Julie, who played Aunt Mary; previously, she had won a series of awards such as the Golden Globe Award for this role.
What is even more gratifying is that because of this change of role, Hepburn and Julie have become good friends.
The year after the rongfeng film, Julie took over the well-known canonization work, "The Sound of Music"↓
Maria, who she plays, loves to sing, is kind and innocent, and in the hearts of many people, Julie is Maria Benja.
However, after a decade of career highlights, the cabaret is no longer popular, and Julie has encountered a career bottleneck...
She was forced to transform again, but failed; her marriage was also lit up with red lights, and in 1967, Julie officially divorced.
Because her career and relationship were not going well, Julie's mental condition once fell to the bottom and she had to undergo treatment.
During the treatment, Julie met her second husband, Blake. He's a director, 13 years older than Julie, and he's humorous and talented.
The blunt and enthusiastic Blake quickly chased after Julie.
However, this pair of film and television couples, whether it is married life or the road of cooperation, is not very smooth...
At first, Blake asked Julie to be the heroine of the film, wanting to show her fists, but the film was re-edited by the company under various pretexts, and it was tossed into a bad film.
Seeing this situation, the media also ran out and stepped on the two couples...
Some people say that Blake's soft meal also delays his wife; there are also rumors about Julie and black actors...
It is said that during that period, the always optimistic Blake almost collapsed, but Julie was unusually strong...
She won the lawsuit with the rumor-monger while taking good care of her family.
After more than a decade of silence, the couple made a comeback, and the 47-year-old Julie once again played the female protagonist in the film "Male and Female" directed by her husband
This time, the two were a great success...
Julie broke into the Oscar nomination circle for Best Actress for the third time and won her third Golden Globe Award.
However, after a brief respite, fate's teasing of Julie did not stop...
Out of her love of the stage, julie has been performing on Broadway in addition to filming.
In 1997, at the age of 62, Julie suddenly had a problem with her throat, which meant that her stage career was completely over.
This is undoubtedly a devastating blow for Julie, who loves to sing...
But, as with the previous times, Julie quickly perked up again, and she wrote children's books. Her husband encouraged her, her ex-husband illustrated her, and her daughter collaborated with her on books.
At the same time, Julie also became a "goodwill ambassador" of the United Nations Development Fund for Women, dedicated to the rights of women in the third world.
In 2010, Blake died; after the grief, Julie made a new breakthrough and became a voice actress.
The voice of the boss-level beast guardian in "Aquaman" is her match ↓
In 2019, at the age of 84, Julie won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the American Film Institute and the Venice International Film Festival.↓
Looking back on Julie's life, there is no doubt some drama...
She has experienced war, her parents divorced, her childhood molested, divorced, widowed; her career has also gone up and down like a roller coaster, and she can no longer sing in her middle and late years...
But in the face of many tribulations, she can always smile and find a new direction, turning stumbling blocks into golden stones.
Julie seems to be like the characters she has played, telling the world that as long as you are optimistic and strong enough, flowers can blossom in the soil of suffering.
Remember the photo of Julie that we put at the beginning of our article?
The GIF is like this ↓ like not saying: life, let the horse come over!
