For a long time, there has been a saying that Marlon Brando's life style is very problematic, not only 6 mistresses committed suicide for him, scattered 15 folk also Zhu Gege and Zhu Belle, but also meat and vegetarian, young and old eat, even the literary and artistic predecessor Leigh Vivien Li dared to sleep!
The place he walked through did not leave a wilderness...
Vivien Leigh fans are quite resistant to this! This group has always been a huge base, a fool,000 old Americans have seen "Gone with the Wind" 300 times to break the Guinness Book of Records! Everyone holds this girl in the palm of their hands like a treasure and will never allow anyone to blaspheme in any way.
However, as more and more literature surfaces (many of which oliver witnesses), Vivien Leigh is far from being as blemish and clean as people think, but her private life is in a mess!
These two people have a theoretical cornerstone as soon as they meet and win, but countless people in the world have a theoretical cornerstone!
Then, Marlon Brando really had an affair with Vivien Leigh, intervened in marriage, and took Vivien Leigh home for the night?!!!
Today Xiaobian tells you about what happened before and after "Desire Street Car"? Pick up a few rumors and say something you don't know.
A. What did the crew of "Desire Streetcar" say?
There is a kind of entertainment gossip in this world called "Hollywood Local Release"!
Even if it is a rumor, it is also a genuine rumor, and the manufacturing dens are all the same crew, near the water tower, and the credibility (confusion) is high.
The first thing that the crew of "Desire StreetCar" had with Vivien Leigh was the little sailor in the opening 2 minutes and 22 seconds.
When the heroine Blanche gets off the train at New Orleans Station, she meets the handsome guy with the "summer time" whistle in his mouth, so she asks him for directions.
The lad was keen to indicate that the "Desire StreetCar" could reach where she wanted to go, and took her luggage to the car.
According to the staff of "Desire StreetCar", the actor of the little sailor was called into his dressing room by Vivien Leigh for an hour, and no one knew what was happening inside.
The reason why everyone is sensitive to this matter is because of the rumor that Vivien Leigh has cheated on sex, a good young boy, this is an open secret in the industry, but everyone tacitly agrees.
It's an eighteen-year-old young actor, Mickey Kuhn
The young Chinese audience may have forgotten who it was.
Born on September 21, 1932, he was a well-known child actor in the 1930s and 1940s, playing Melanie and Ashley's son, Borek, in another of Leigh's other works, Gone with the Wind.
He was 18 years old when filming of Desire Streetcar began in August 1950, while Vivien Leigh was 37.
He is the only surviving member of the "Gone with the Wind" crew today!
Although he only has one line in the film, as Melanie dies, her son cries and asks his father, "It's morning, why go back to bed?" "It was moving.
In my opinion, this line is a bit of a cliché, this actor was really sent off in the "morning" of life and rested early.
Since playing "Desire StreetCar" and Aunt Leigh Vivien Leigh for a long time, the child star's reputation has been damaged, from red to black, and he had to change careers to enlist in the Navy. After retiring in 1955, he was planning to enter the stage or television industry, found that he was still infamous, and had no choice but to completely quit the acting world, marrying a girl named Jane Marie, giving birth to a son and a daughter, and leaving again within a few years.
In 1965, he was hired by American Airlines as a flight attendant supervisor and later became an administrative manager at Boston Airport.
The only surviving actor in the "Gone with the Wind" crew
In June 1998, as a guest, he attended the premiere of the restored version of Gone with the Wind.
For the year of riding on the "StreetCar of Desire" involved in a whirlpool, Miky Kuhn explained it as a lying gun, he has long been dismissive, and enjoyed his old age in peace.
He once told the media: "I remember John Wayne telling me to never apologize, never say sorry, but never forget to say 'thank you'!" ”
B. Vivien Leigh Red Apricot out of the wall, more than one wall head
The picture above shows Lawrence Oliver visiting the crew at the beginning of the filming of "Desire StreetCar".
From the beginning of the film, getting off the train to ask for directions, boarding the street car of Desire, going downstairs to her sister's house to find the reunion of the sisters in the bowling alley according to the instructions of the neighbors, and going home to argue with her brother-in-law for a full 14 minutes and 58 seconds, she is all in this costume.
Some people will say that Oliver loves her very much and runs away to New Orleans to visit her class. In fact, it is not the case, the first 15 minutes of the scene are filmed in two locations, one is the New Orleans train station, and the other is Hollywood Warner Bros. own set at 4000 Warner Avenue (sister's residence), close to the toilet.
In any case, the two who have been married for ten years are still getting by.
Even in the 1980s, many years after Vivien Leigh's death, the elderly Oliver was still overwhelmed by the fact that he saw Vivien Leigh's documentary on television. When she said, "If there is an afterlife, I will marry Lawrence Oliver..." He had mixed feelings for a while, and the old tears flowed.
His third wife, Joan Prewright, told those around him many times that Oliver didn't love her, and that he only loved the shadow woman in this life, Vivien Leigh!
Oliver and his third wife, Joan Plowright
Yeah, how could Oliver not love her?
Once upon a time, she was his pride, his chosen one! Wherever you go, people are envious!
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill saw Vivien Leigh for the first time at a banquet, and almost dropped his jaw, he found Oliver and whispered to him: "Your lady is so beautiful." ”
In terms of talent, I don't think there's a single actress in Hollywood today who can play Blanche. The pearl jade is in front!
Probably fans around the world will have a question - why did Vivien Leigh and Oliver break up?
In his later years, Oliver finally confided the truth in his memoirs, saying that Vivien Leigh had a very serious sex addiction, basically three times a day - "I am about to be squeezed dry by her!" ”
In fact, I am not very satisfied with his explanation, there is a suspicion of shirking whitewashing, and it is permeable to seek advantages and avoid harms.
You know, actors are psychologists, such as actors of his level are super psychologists! He could well have given a more reasonable footnote to the public, namely that Vivien Leigh suffered from bi-directional mental disorder, a mental disorder characterized by alternating episodes of mania and depression.
You can't take a moral standpoint and blame a psychopath, just as you can't accuse a cold person of deliberately sneezing.
Whether it is poverty or disease, what about the vows of goodness?
What are the manifestations of the disease of bipolar mental disorder?
We often see this type of patient in film and television works, such as Yu Wenle in "A Thought of Ignorance" -
Anne Hathaway in Modern Love and so on—
Friends who want to learn more about bi-directional mental disorder may wish to simply look at this "Desire Street Car", Blanche is a typical case. Vivien Leigh and her character have long been integrated inside and outside the play, it is difficult to distinguish between each other, and after performing this movie, she was sent to a mental hospital.
In addition to being moody, this disease also has hypersexuality, finding oneself in the love of the opposite sex, showing mercy everywhere, wearing a green hat for her husband, and so on. Of course, there is a more dangerous operation than wearing a green hat is to buy! buy! buy! Swipe off your husband's card! There is no way to stop, and finally the patient will carry home a lot of beautiful and useless things.
If you have a girlfriend or wife who loves money like this, you should pay attention to it.
SO, the world should look at Vivien Leigh's subsequent absurdities with sympathy and understanding.
Here, I would also like to make a loud appeal that Vivien Leigh has a mental illness, and Warner Pictures should pay compensation according to the work injury. Who let her play such a bizarre role as Blanche, and finally became as watery as her, scouring youth, destroying flowers, sleeping strangers, summoning male prostitutes, and even being bombed out of the hotel are the same as the plot of the movie.
Did Marlon Brando take her home?
It seems to me that there is another person in this crew who suffers from bi-directional mental disorder, and this dude is Marlon Brando.
If the gossip history of his old man's family were strung together, he could save three "Historical Records"! Of course, some friends will ask, can a person string together a biography of a person? I'm referring to all the women he has under his account, which is perfectly ok, more than enough.
One of his most notorious events was The Last Tango in Paris (1972) twenty years after The StreetCar of Desire.
Stills from the film The Last Tango in Paris (1972)
During the filming of the film, Marlon Brando conspired with director Bernardo Bertolucci to use butter as a lubricant and rape actress Maria Schneider in front of numerous on-set crews without her knowledge!
The actors who are so devoted to their work all over the world can only be compared with Japan's Mikuni Rintaro, but Taro's classmates only failed.
The director I mentioned, Bertolucci, also knows, has come to China, and is the director of "The Last Emperor".
Of course, as early as 1950, when filming "Desire StreetCar", Marlon Brando was not so arrogant, after all, he was a yellow-mouthed newcomer, which was only the second film in his acting career. However, he is also anti-guest-oriented in the crew, pressing Vivien Li's head, like a grass king!
Probably he himself knows that this $1.8 million movie is too sunny, high and low, all referring to his beautiful face and proud chest muscles.
Sure enough, later all national versions of movie posters were gimmicked with his old man's figure, and even the comic version did not spare his Brutalist-style back.
Vivien Leigh felt isolated when she entered the group, and all the actors except her were a lump. The film was moved from The Journey to the West on the East Coast to Hollywood on the West Bank.
And they were all taught by a master — the Master of the Methodist, Lee Strasberg, and even the director, Ilya Kazan, were of the Methodist.
The last time Lee Strasberg wrote "Cassandra Bridge," he was the watch vendor Herman.
Vivien Leigh is more miserable, she also starred in the play "Desire StreetCar" Blanche, but on the London stage.
Marlon Brando was spooked by her in public several times, "It's not what you said, my husband Oliver taught me to act like this." ”
Even the director is so and so, you are not welcome!
But no one here is used to her.
Looking around, the whole crew did not have a single fuel-saving lamp, all of them were big cattle! No one obeys anyone!
Screenwriter Tennessee Williams, who won the Pulitzer Prize as early as 1947 with this book;
Director Ilya Kazan was more bullish, his girlfriend at the time was Marilyn Monroe, and later got bored, and at the premiere of "Desire StreetCar" he happened to meet the famous screenwriter Arthur Miller, so he introduced Monroe to him, and five years later Monroe married Miller.
Carl Morden, who played Blanche's boyfriend, remembers him by his classmates who have seen "General Patton", and from 1989 to 1992, he was the dean of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, who managed the Oscars.
At the top was Carl Malden, and the second was Kim Hunt
Even Blanche's sister, Kim Hunt, is an A-list star who has worked with David Nevin.
A Matter of Life and Death with David Niven in 1946
Kim Hunter especially admired Marlon Brando, and was completely on his side inside and outside the play. Marlon Brando, who was only in Hollywood at the time, once said, "I don't like movies, I don't like Hollywood, I just don't have enough moral strength to refuse money!" ”
Kim Hunt, afraid that his rectum would offend people, also specially whitewashed him in front of the media, "Ah, Malone was referring to his father when he played "Desire Streetcar", which reminded him of his tragic childhood, so he said that he did not like acting, who wants to always be in the shadow of childhood? So extenuating circumstances..."
I don't know how many movies Malone has acted in since then, but looking back at my father, how busy was this father?
Of course, many people will speculate that the great beauty Leigh Vivien Leigh, who is trapped in isolation and pity, is to curry favor with Marlon Brando, the drama bully, and pay some price, right?
One is that she is still very beautiful, and the play is just playing ugly and old; the second is that she is casual anyway.
Therefore, it was more logical for her to follow him home, which was also the theoretical basis for the fact that the two of them had an affair that spread throughout the Pacific Ocean.
Ran Goose, let's see what kind of housing conditions Marlon Brando was at that time, he had money, don't watch the second movie, the first movie of 1950 "The True Colors of Boys" He got a salary of $50,000, the second "Desire StreetCar" was $75,000, and Vivien Leigh, the old predecessor, was only 100,000!
For a horizontal comparison, the salary standards of male actors in the same period, Gregory Parker's "Million Pounds" 250,000 films, Humphrey Bogart's "Dragon and Phoenix" 300,000, Marlon Brando a newcomer, not bad. Do you guess that this goods can not be returned to the star-rated hotel, presidential suite what?
However, you are wrong, people are smart, they expected this hand, during the filming, Marlon Brando actually chose to squeeze the Warner collective dormitory. Who are the people in this dormitory? Two audit accountants, a director Jay Kantor, and a then-unknown and later popular Half the Sky actor Tony Coutis (father of the heroine of "True Lies").
"Passion on Fire" actors Tony Cotis and Marilyn Monroe (1959)
Such a dirty and messy bachelor's big dormitory, in exchange for you, will you take Vivien Leigh home?
Of course, some students will also say, what if the two go for seven days?
Seven Days Hotel?
Hollywood with familiar faces everywhere? Don't be funny!
That's why I say Marlon Brando is a great man! Although it is a flower thief, there is also a way to steal, and the boss woman resolutely does not touch it! It is not like the little sailor We mentioned earlier, Gua Tian Lixia, who did not eat lamb and caused a commotion, and the whole person sank; nor was it like "Citizen Kane" director Orson Wells, because a woman offended the giant and fell to the old age to shoot Coca-Cola commercials.
Marlon Brando slept all over Hollywood and almost created a nation by himself, blossoming and falling for a few spring and autumn, and retreating unscathed because people sleep well, have a body and a brain, and most importantly, principles!
Going back to Vivien Leigh, let's look at what Marlon Brando's autobiography, The Gathering of Saints, says.
She slept with almost everyone —
The second film I made was Desire StreetCar. Although censorship in Hollywood has weakened some of the poignant satire in Tennessee's original plays, I still think movies are better than plays. Vivien Leigh played Blanche on the theatrical stage in London, and she was invited to the United States to make a movie. I always thought she was the ideal person to play Blanche. In many ways, she's Blanche. As a stunning beauty on screen, her beauty is unforgettable, but she is vulnerable, and her own life is similar to that of Tennessee's crippled butterfly. She was like Blanche in many ways, especially when her consciousness began to blur and her self-consciousness became blurred. Like Blanche, she slept with almost everyone, her spirit began to trance, and her health deteriorated. If it weren't for Larry Olivier, I might have committed her to me as well. I was convinced that Oliver was fully aware of her misdeeds, but he, like most husbands I know, pretended to be deaf and dumb and turned a blind eye. I like Oliver so much that I don't want to invade his private domain.
……
In summary, there is no such thing as the legendary Marlon Brando having an affair with Vivien Leigh, interfering in someone else's marriage, and taking Vivien Leigh home for the night!!!
Although both have style problems, this aspect does not intersect, and the lid of a pot cannot be buckled on all the large iron pots. It must be taken seriously, specific problems, and specific analysis.
Of course, the big guys will ask, about the two people's scandal, you haven't said how your husband Lawrence Oliver reacted?
Roar, the final result of this matter surprised everyone, and the common saying among Hollywood colleagues was that Lawrence Oliver and Marlon Brando were finally happily together.
Surprised? Unhappy? Surprised?! Another day to open the article to talk about!
