Foreign media reported that Roger Michelle, director of "Notting Hill", died at the age of 65. Roger Michelle was born in South Africa in 1956. His father was a diplomat, so he traveled with him to many countries, including Syria and Czechoslovakia, and eventually settled in England, graduating from Cambridge University.
Although Roger is a famous director, his private life is very well kept secret. He was married twice in his life, his wife was an actor, and he had four children.
Roger's first wife was Kate Buffelli. Born in Cambridge, England, a year younger than Roger, Kate is an actress and a writer.
Kate starred in the TV series Good Luck, a series about British intelligence agencies during World War II, in which Kate played an agent. "Trial and Punishment" is also her more well-known work.
Kate's marriage to Roger lasted a decade, and they married in 1992 and divorced in 2002, with two children.
Roger's second wife was Anna Martin. The two met while filming Honour in Australia. At that time, Anna fell in love with The newly divorced Roger at first sight, but Roger didn't seem interested in her. Under Anna's onslaught, the two married in 2002. The following year, Anna starred in Roger's "Love Can't Stand It", for which Roger was nominated for best director at the European Film Awards.
The second marriage lasted 18 years, and the two divorced in 2020 and also had two children. However, their divorce is so secret that even the children are not known. Anna said it was for the good of everyone.
During his lifetime, Roger directed a number of works, including films, television series and stage plays. Chinese audiences are most familiar with the film "Notting Hill" starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts.
In the film, William runs a bookstore in London's Notting Hills, and one day, Hollywood superstar Anna visits here and takes William's soul away. William meets Anna again on the street and accidentally spills a drink on her, so he takes her home to change clothes. Such solitude quickly enhanced their relationship, and Anna kissed William. William began his own star-chasing journey, but would the world accept such love?
"Your name is known all over the world, and even my mother often forgets my name." This classic line shows the huge gap between the two, but can love only arise between swans and swans?
The bookstore where the film was shot became a place for British Internet celebrities to punch in, which symbolized pure love and symbolized the counterattack of Di Si.
This film was made at the peak of Grant and Roberts' looks. The whole picture is warm and silky, and Roger shows his powerful ability to mobilize the emotions of scenes and characters. The picture is sometimes too slow to be intoxicating, and sometimes it is so fast that people worry that they can't keep up with the rhythm.
