quotation:
When it comes to the most impressive American sweetheart, who do you think of?
I don't have to guess to know, you will say Rachel McAdams, Julia Roberts, etc., everyone has their own "sweetheart" in their hearts, and I want to introduce you today a person you may not know, but is the most impressive, the most standard American sweetheart, and the most regrettable one.
She has blonde hair, exquisite features, an innocent personality, and a little playfulness.
In the '90s, 18-year-old Alicia Silverstone became an overnight hit for starring in Clueless.
Her brilliant performance in the film was sought after by countless young boys and girls, and was rated as the "most beautiful sweetheart" by American film fans at that time.
She starred in the film, playing the role to the fullest, and the micro-expressions of each of her shots were very in place, so that the audience had the illusion that this was her, not acting at all.
01.90s America's "Most Beautiful Sweetheart"
(1) Early life
Alicia Silverstone was born on October 4, 1976 in San Francisco, California, the youngest child in the family, the third oldest.
Her father was a real estate businessman, and her mother, a former flight attendant, came from a wealthy family.
When she was six years old, her father took several photos of her, which were seen by a producer friend, and these photos eventually led Alicia to participate in the filming of several television works.
In 1988, at the age of 12, Alicia was given the opportunity to play Fred's dream lover in "Two Little Guesses", although it was only a cameo performance, but her wonderful performance in the film received the attention of many people.
In 1991, the 15-year-old Alicia stopped making cameos, but made her official debut as Darian, a 14-year-old girl in "Pushing a Lover's Bed" who has mental problems and often harasses tenants.
This is a Lolita-like character from Hell, a young and beautiful girl who, under the appearance of a young and beautiful girl, is an authentic demon who constantly harasses handsome tenants in the same building and eventually kills him.
Although the response to the film was mediocre after its release, her brilliant performance in the film made her liked by many young film fans, and she also won the 1994 MTV movie "Best Breakthrough Performance" and "Best Villain Performance Award", two more weighty awards for newcomers.
Her outstanding performance also attracted the attention of rock 'n' roll big brother "Aerosmith".
Invited by the latter, Alicia participated in a series of music video productions, such as "Wonderful", "Crazy", etc., which made her show her talent in music and made her reputation even louder.
Several of the videos have won a total of 6 awards, including "Best Music Video", "Best View Award" and "Nickelodeon International Award".
(2) Accidental explosion
At the age of 18, Alicia's acting career had an important inflection point.
She got the opportunity to star in the campus comedy film "Alone", in which she played a rich girl with a sweet look and a self-confidence in the fans, who became the object of crazy pursuit by boys in the aristocratic high school, and while harvesting her love, she also pulled the red line for the two strange teachers who fell in love but refused to say anything.
Here's a brief introduction to the show:
Nearly 20 years have passed since "Alone", but revisiting it again today has no sense of violation.
Alicia plays the heroine Cher, the daughter of a famous lawyer, a rich girl who wears different brand-name costumes to school every day, and this role is a bit silly or trance-like while being a white rich beauty.
Her clear and turquoise eyes make people look at it at a stunning lifetime that cannot be forgotten;
Her long, blond hair, with a flick of her hand, can hook the soul of a person;
The most amazing thing is her micro-movements, always inadvertently, revealing a cute smile, or a playful look, careless, but just right.
Let the audience feel the full vitality and youthful atmosphere across the screen.
Different from the general campus film, as a rich and powerful rich girl Xue'er, she never bullied her classmates, but was willing to help the weak.
When the new Moss classmates were ostracized by other classmates, she did not hesitate to stand up and began to work with her friends to transform Moss.
While transforming Moss, Cher also begins to worry that she can't find a matching male god.
She eventually set her sights on Elton, the dream lover of all the girls at the school.
After some effort, Elton finally took the bait and the two began dating.
But it was after some close contact that Cher discovered that Elton was not suitable for him, and he could only be a friend.
Cher is emotionally frustrated and depressed, but then a worse situation arises;
Under the transformation of Xue'er, the transfer student Moss turned blue and stole the limelight that originally belonged to Xue'er on the campus.
Even asked Cher to help match her and Cher's stepbrother (not related by blood);
Those who had originally flattered Xue'er and circled around Xue'er gathered around Moss;
The lonely Cher was really miserable.
But it was also at this time that she learned to think and understand, and began to reflect on her previous behavior;
She decided to do something meaningful, such as charity, volunteering, etc., so that she could help more people.
It was also at this time that she found that there had always been someone around her who had been silently accompanying her, guarding herself, and never left, this person was her titular stepbrother Josh (not related by blood).
In the end, the sweet and kind heroine finally waited for her prince Charming, and the little brother of Ant-Man was really handsome.
Handsome men and beautiful women in the same frame, the picture is really beautiful.
The plot of the whole "Leading the Way" is actually a relatively thin youth campus story, but this film is very careful in the casting, music and costumes, especially the performance of the heroine Xue'er, which is remarkable and really worth remembering.
It is reported that in this film, there are 64 sets of costumes for the heroine Xue'er alone, and all of them are tailor-made!
One of the most classics is the yellow check suit, which is sweet at the same time, but also adds a lot of cool feeling.
Later, this shot was also reproduced many times by herself!
The film was a huge success, Alicia was named the most beautiful "sweetheart" in the United States, and the film also brought her a contract for three Columbia films, with a single film salary of up to $5 million.
Subsequently, she set up her own production company, First Kiss Productions, and played the female Batman in Batman and Robin (or "Batman 4: Frozen Man") with more initiative.
But this film seems to have some kind of terrible spell, and the actors involved in the shooting have not had a smooth career.
02. The focus shifts to the family
After filming Batman and Robin (1997), Alicia's acting career took a sharp turn for the worse.
Although he once again received a certain degree of attention when he starred in "Timeless Love" (1999), the object of attention was not her, but the male protagonist of the film, Brendan Fraser, who played a silly handsome rich man in the film, who fascinated many young girls.
Fans of the channel have analyzed why Alicia appeared in the career "Waterloo".
Roughly summarized as:
(1) She has received too little professional acting training since she was a child, only a few amateur acting classes, after "Leading the Way", she has no major breakthrough in acting, always repeating the hostess setting in "Leading the Wind", not only the producer will hesitate, but even the audience is tired of it for a long time.
(2) When her acting career began to encounter bottlenecks, she did not think about how to break through, but chose to marry her boyfriend, and after having a family, she was even more slack.
On June 11, 2005, Alicia married Christopher Jarecki, the lead singer of the band Once Losers The Underdogs and S.T.U.N.
The latter has starred in Me and Will me and Will and cameo in Alicia's own film Vamps.
On May 5, 2011, Alicia gave birth to her husband's only son, Bear. Blu.Sliverstone.Jarecki）。
But the good times did not last long, and in 2018, the marriage that lasted for 13 years finally came to an end, and the two divorced peacefully and said they would raise their son together.
When Alicia became a mother, she embraced her young son, making it more difficult for her to accept some cruel slaughter scenes.
Subsequently, she became a staunch vegetarian.
03. Speak up for "vegetarians" and advocate for the protection of animals
Alicia loves animals so much that Samson, the first of her many dogs, was picked up in Los Angeles during the filming of Urgent Mission (1996).
In 2016, Alicia Quanguo appeared on camera to shoot a public service announcement for the animal protection organization PETA, calling on people not to use wool products.
The advertisement was once placed in Times Square in New York, attracting the attention and thinking of a large number of Americans.
However, the charity called "PETA" itself is extremely controversial, and has been exposed several times in the scandal of killing homeless animals.
Alicia not only calls for the protection of animals, but also uses her own experience to preach the benefits of vegetarianism:
"The body is more energetic than before, there are no worries about obesity and cardiovascular disease, the skin will be much better, and it will rarely get sick."
04. Controversial parenting methods
(1) In early 2020, Alicia, 43, and her 9-year-old son were quarantined at home due to the epidemic, which gave her a lot of opportunities to spend time with her family.
It was also during this time that she said in an interview with The New York Times:
"My son often bathes with me."
Her remarks sparked a huge controversy.
Her son, Bell, is 9 years old and is no longer a child who knows nothing, which may cause her young son to become cognitively impaired about his gender.
Judging from some pictures on the Internet, Alicia's son is also dressed in a more feminine way.
Moreover, she also asked her son to eat vegetarian from an early age, and gave a reason that people could not agree with: after eating vegetarian, you can not take medicine when you are sick.
In October 2018, she once proudly revealed to the media that her son never had to take medicine after he fell ill, relying on the body's autoimmune to heal, and his son also became particularly strong because of his vegetarian diet, and even if he had a cold, he would insist on going to school.
During this time, Bell, who was only 7 years old at the time, shouted twice, "Mom, I'm so uncomfortable", but Alicia still insisted on not giving her son any medicine, according to her, and after only a few hours, her son became healthy and energetic again.
The media almost frightened her, and specially consulted medical experts for this, but the experts said: "(Not seeing a doctor when sick) is an unhygienic and irresponsible behavior!" ”
(2) Her approach is very inappropriate, but it is all out of order to let her son learn to be strong and gain more freedom to grow.
On November 18, 2020, the single mom shared Bell's new look at INS.
"Yes, it's true, Bell cut off his long hair!" My baby has finally grown up, and although I miss his long hair a little and I even cried when his long hair was cut, I didn't stop him, as long as it was his decision, I would not hesitate to support him... Either way, I will always support every decision my sweet, considerate and invaluable little boy makes! ”
The vegan and renowned animal protector was thrilled.
05. Conclusion:
Alicia, now 45 years old, there is no news of a new relationship, she is still active on the Hollywood stage, although not brilliant, often only small productions, or TV shows, but she does not particularly care about these, her main energy is now focused on the growth of her son Bell, as well as participating in various public welfare activities to protect animals and promote vegetarian food.
But with so many years of participating in public welfare activities, she also deeply understands that people's attitude towards vegetarianism and animal protection is a personal choice, and outsiders cannot interfere.
She has said in interviews that she will respect the choices of others, and she will not give up on the ideas she insists on.
