Is there true love in Hollywood? Yes, every star says that the feelings they put into are true love, but how long can such true love last, for a few weeks? Months? Or a few years? Hollywood's relationship is not long-lasting...
Long love, rather than the character of this star, Gregory Pike in real life, is the embodiment of perfect justice, all people think he is a good man, always maintain his gentleman image.
Pike is a good man in the smoky entertainment industry, loyal to his wife, loyal to his family, and loving his children, you can question his acting skills, but you can't question his character. Who would have thought that the good man in people's minds would admit that he was cheating in marriage.
See, no man is perfect, and if he hadn't admitted it himself, we might never have known that a saint is also meant to be grounded.
In 1987, when the elderly Pike was interviewed by People, the reporter once asked him about his relationship with Ingrid Bergman, and After a moment of silence, Parker replied: "She is a very attractive woman, and I have a sincere love for her."
When Pike said this, this extremely attractive woman had been dead for five years, and how much charm was this woman that Pike, who cherished feathers, would never forget?
Pike grew up with his grandmother, whose parents divorced him when he was young, and her grandmother took him to the movies to make him happy, not so much that her grandmother accompanied him in his childhood as it did with him.
He had seen all the movies that had been released, and he began to develop a keen interest in acting. In high school, his favorite was drama class.
After graduating from high school, his father planned a career for him as a pharmacist, and Parker was admitted to medical school at the University of California, Berkeley.
College life is colorful, his favorite is still drama, coupled with his tall and handsome appearance and charming voice, the acting teacher suggested that he study acting.
Through acting, Parker can better show himself, let more people recognize himself, and he feels that he exists for the sake of performance.
In pursuit of his dream, Pike decisively gave up his degree, left school, and went to New York.
In 1939, Pike came to New York with a dream, but reality taught him a harsh lesson.
In order to survive, Pike had to take on various jobs, and just like that, when he slept on the park bench.
This life lasted until the end of 1941, when Parker was fortunate enough to get a role in the stage play "The Doctor's Dilemma" and began touring the troupe, which was a fixed income.
In the cabaret, he met Greta Kukonen, the band's hairstylist. Greta was 30 years old, 5 years older than Pike, and divorced.
Although Greta is not an actress and does not have to perform on stage, Pike feels that she has the qualities of an actor and is especially good at acting.
Young Pike meets his sister, and all his thoughts are shared with her, and Parker thinks this is love.
Pike feels that he is in love and wants to be closer to Greta, but Greta refuses to have sex before marriage.
Pike felt that marrying her was also a good choice, so the two married in October 1942.
After getting married, Pike had a sense of responsibility, he not only had to earn money to support his family, but also aspired to become a big star, and in order to make his body more upright, he learned to dance with Martha Graham.
The teacher was very strict, and once, seeing Pike sitting on the floor pressing his legs, the teacher thought he could do better, so he pressed his knees to Parker's back. Just Listen:
"Click"
"Oops"
Parker's disc was ruptured and he had to go home to recuperate.
At that time, the Pacific War broke out, and all the young people had to go to the battlefield, and Pike would definitely be on the battlefield if he was not injured.
All the young and handsome male actors in Hollywood have to go to the front line, such as James Stewart, Clark Gable, etc.
In 1944, Pike participated in "Glorious Years", although he did not really go to war, but in this film, he played a warrior, which was his first role, which was also a blessing in disguise.
Coming from a stage play, he has no acting skills and no shooting experience, so after the film was released, the response was not good, and the audience said that Parker's performance was too stiff.
No way, who let experienced young actors go to war. Even if the directors felt that Pike did not have acting skills, the producer still invited him to play the male lead.
Pike became popular overnight, and many brokerage companies came to sign with him, but Pike was very sober, he knew what he wanted, he had to choose his own role, so he refused to sign with only one agency.
MGM's Louis Meyer approached Pike personally, hoping that Pike would sign for MGM and promising to make him a superstar, like Clark Gable.
Meyer, who was also rejected, cried bitterly.
Parker eventually found four brokerage firms to sign with them. Pike doesn't have to wait for the company to assign roles like other actors, he can choose the roles he wants to play.
During World War II, almost all movies had his shadow, and he jumped into the ranks of superstars.
Successful career, harmonious and happy family, married for three years, his wife gave birth to two big fat sons, and At this time, Pike seemed to be a big winner in life.
Wife Greta watched her husband's value getting higher and higher, and there were more and more beautiful women around him, but the gap between herself and her husband was getting bigger and bigger, and it was inevitable that she would be uneasy.
It was also in this year that Pike met his beloved.
Peck, who wanted to change the path of the scene, chose to star in a romantic thriller, starring with Swedish star Ingrid Bergman in "Dr. Edward".
After Pike entered the crew, he was often harassed by the director, it turned out that the film was originally selected by Gary Grant to play the male protagonist, and the agency felt that the mentally ill male protagonist in the film would ruin Grant's image and refused.
The male protagonist of "Doctor Edward" fell into the hands of Pike, and the director was reluctant and could only vent his dissatisfaction during the filming process.
Bergman also sensed that the director was helping Him speak when he was embarrassed, and whenever this moment came, Parker's heart felt warm.
Two people have a lot of rival plays, often play against each other, and have feelings for each other.
At that time, the two people had their own families, and Pike did not want to turn himself into a scumbag, but in the film, many shots of the two could see the affection in each other's eyes.
The crew said that the two people were very involved when filming the kiss scene, and even once, the director was next to him, shouting the card, and the two people were still kissing passionately.
Another actor in the crew once revealed that Pike and Bergman arrived at the shooting scene in disheveled clothes and hair.
At that time, tabloid reporters were still very professional, and the gossip without a real hammer was not met with the newspaper, plus Pike's relationship with most media was still good, and the producers did not want the film to be aborted before it was released, and suppressed it.
Therefore, this scandal has not been circulated.
There is an end to the long road, and at the end of "Doctor Edward", Pike rushes to Bergman on a whim and says, "Let's elope together!" ”
Bergman refused.
Perhaps in Bergman's mind, Pike's position was not enough for her to pay the price.
Pike retreated to the second place and chose to be friends.
Ironically, a few years later, Bergman eloped with the Italian director Roberto Rossellini, who had a family.
In 1949, Bergman filmed "Love on the Edge of the Volcano", and the director was Roberto. Bergman had seen many directors' works before and already admired Roberto.
During the filming process, two people would get together at the end of each day, and there was always no end to the words, and Bergman found himself in love with the Italian director.
Hollywood and the audience have little tolerance for cheating female stars, and Bergman's open extramarital affair has become a shame for Hollywood and strongly condemned by public opinion.
Bergman's agency asked her to break up with the Italian director.
Bergman's husband, Peter, asked her to break up with the Italian director.
The ghostly Bergman gave up his career, gave up his husband, and gave up his daughter to be with the Italian director, because she was pregnant with the italian director's child.
In 1950, Bergman followed Roberto to Italy. At first, she was happy and content with this state of life.
The year after their marriage, they had twin daughters.
Beautiful love eventually lost to reality.
After having children, their expenses are bigger, but their income is getting less and less, and they quarrel all day long over chai rice oil and salt.
In 1956, Bergman's friend recommended her to participate in the heroine of "True and False Princess", and her husband not only did not support it, but dragged his feet, and he warned Bergman: If we dare to return to Hollywood to shoot, we will divorce.
Bergman hesitated, she didn't want to lose her husband and children.
This is sometimes the case, and just when Bergman hesitates, her husband's cheating gives her the most choice.
The husband cheated on an Indian female producer, and Bergman has been kept in the dark.
It's ridiculous to think about, it's really feng shui turns.
Bergman won an Academy Award for "True and False Princess", and her relationship ended here.
Bergman gave up his career, gave up his daughter, eloped to a strange country for this man, eight years, and finally got what?
But Bergman did not regret her choice, and she regarded that experience as an experience. After returning to Hollywood, her career quickly picked up, winning her third Academy Award for Murder on the Orient Express.
The woman who works hard is the most beautiful, and she proves with her strength that she has the money to pay for the madness of the year.
Ingrid Bergman, known as Hollywood's first lady, was free and free to do whatever she wanted.
She always remembered a sentence that her father said to her before he died: People should live to make themselves happy.
Let's go back to Pike.
Parker, who was rejected, was hurt, but back at home, in front of his wife and son, he had to pretend to be okay again.
His wife, Greta, must have heard some of his gossip with Bergman, but she chose to believe Pike.
So, soon after, a third son was born.
As Parker's fame grew, there were more and more actresses around him, and some actresses deliberately said that they had an affair with Pike in order to increase their popularity, such as Barbara Payton, and directly told reporters that Parker was upside down with her in the dressing room.
Naturally, people don't believe what Barbara, who has a bad review, explains to his wife, who believes it on the surface, but becomes more and more uneasy inside.
Later, Pike went to Italy to shoot "Roman Holiday", the producer used the male and female protagonists in the film to fry CP for the box office, and the major newspapers were saying that Pike and Hepburn had a relationship.
"Roman Holiday" was a big hit, and Hepburn also won an Oscar for this film.
In fact, just look at a few female stars that Pike liked before, you know that the thin Hepburn is not the type that Pike likes at all, and Parker likes more plump women.
When the media hyped him up with Hepburn CP, the real person who interacted with him was actually Australian model Joan Darling Hutkins.
In order to be with the young and beautiful model, Parker lied that he and his wife had broken up.
Before this unknown relationship could be exposed, the model returned to China to develop.
Parker, who has just ended a foreign love affair, is accompanied by his wife and interviewed by the French female journalist Passani, and the young reporter has a strong interest in Parker during the interview.
She said: Sooner or later, one day, I will marry Pike.
Pike's marriage is happy and loving in the eyes of outsiders, in fact, this broken ship has long been unable to withstand the wind and waves.
In 1955, Greta filed for divorce, and in her divorce statement, she accused Pike of causing pain and humiliation to herself, a marriage that left her extremely nervous and uneasy that she could no longer be his wife.
Pike agreed to the divorce but denied the wife's allegations.
The 13-year marriage ended in the midst of a wife's verbal abuse, and Greta received a hefty alimony.
Ironically, the day after the divorce, Pike couldn't wait to marry the French journalist Pasani.
The two men, who were 16 years apart, had too many common languages, and Parker devoted most of his energy to his wife, who had another pair of children.
In 1962, Pike played a righteous lawyer in the movie "To Kill a Mockingbird", perhaps this lawyer brought more warmth and kindness to people, and the audience at that time regarded them as their heroes.
Pike also deliberately makes himself more perfect in life, and his perfection makes his children feel extremely stressed.
Pike and his ex-wife's eldest son Jonathan look kind and polite on the surface, but he is an insecure, nervous and inferior person, at the age of 31, he chose to shoot himself.
Shocked by his son's death, Pike did not understand why his son committed suicide and did not film for two years in a row.
Pike began to reflect on the perfect persona he had worked so hard to hold up, other than putting pressure on his family and giving himself a false name.
So he professed his affair with Ingrid Bergman, hoping to know that he was no longer a perfect man.
What Pike did not expect was that his self-exposure not only did not make people disgusted, but also attracted countless fans, and fans believed that such a Parker was more real.
