Quizá fue la mujer más inteligente de toda aquella generación.
Lo curioso es que muchas de estas estrellas parecían completamente distintas cuando se apagaban las cámaras.
Humphrey Bogart, que interpretaba a tipos duros, era conocido por su sentido del humor.
Cary Grant, su imagen era la del caballero perfecto, pero en privado tenía un humor muy travieso.
Era amigo íntimo de Randolph Scott y en las fiestas le encantaba gastar bromas a sus invitados.
Años después también habló abiertamente de las sesiones de LSD supervisadas por médicos que realizó en los años cincuenta para superar problemas emocionales, algo muy poco habitual en una estrella de su categoría.Marlene Dietrich podía beber tanto como cualquiera de sus compañeros y seguir siendo la persona mejor vestida de la sala.
Y luego estaba Katharine Hepburn.
Mientras muchas actrices se dejaban moldear por los estudios, ella hacía exactamente lo contrario.
Fue de las primeras en aparecer en público llevando pantalones cuando casi ninguna mujer lo hacía.
En los rodajes era famosa por discutir con directores, negarse a aceptar órdenes que consideraba absurdas y mandar a paseo a quien intentara decirle cómo debía comportarse.Su gran historia de amor fue Spencer Tracy.
Se conocieron durante el rodaje de "La mujer del año" (1942) y mantuvieron una relación durante casi tres décadas.
El problema era que Tracy seguía casado con Louise Treadwell.
Nunca se divorció, en parte por sus profundas convicciones católicas y porque no quería perjudicar a su esposa ni a su hijo, que era sordo.Durante años Hepburn aceptó vivir aquella relación casi en la sombra.
Apenas aparecían juntos en público y evitaban alimentar los rumores, aunque en Hollywood era un secreto a voces.Pero la historia no fue precisamente idílica.
Tracy tenía graves problemas con el alcohol.
Sus borracheras eran frecuentes y su carácter podía cambiar por completo cuando bebía.
Hepburn lo cuidó durante años, soportando recaídas, depresiones y largas temporadas en las que él apenas trabajaba.Muchos amigos decían que Katharine sacrificó parte de su propia vida por permanecer a su lado.
Cuando Spencer Tracy murió en 1967, Hepburn ni siquiera acudió al funeral por respeto a la esposa de Tracy.
Esperó a que terminara la ceremonia antes de visitar la casa para presentar sus condolencias.Años después escribiría que había sido el gran amor de su vida.
Sin embargo, su personalidad seguía siendo tan fuerte como siempre.
En una ocasión, un productor le dijo que ninguna actriz era más importante que un estudio.
Katharine respondió con una sonrisa:
"Pruebe a hacer la película sin mí."
Y, sorprendentemente, podía permitírselo.
💡 Una curiosidad: Katharine Hepburn y John Wayne se llevaban fatal.
Ella lo consideraba un actor limitado y Wayne opinaba que Hepburn era demasiado intelectual y poco femenina para el gusto del público.
Nunca trabajaron juntos y se lanzaron varias pullas a través de la prensa.Y mientras todo aquello sucedía...
Los periódicos seguían hablando del glamour de Hollywood.
Porque alguien se ocupaba de borrar las huellas antes del amanecer.
Aquella era la verdadera magia de la industria del cine.
No consistía solo en crear películas.
Consistía en convencer al mundo de que sus estrellas eran perfectas... aunque la realidad, una vez apagados los focos, estuviera muy lejos de serlo

#Iwatched #BonjourTristesse (1958) and it was a mixed experience. #DavidNiven and #MylèneDemongeot are obviously seasoned actors but the main role is #JeanSeberg and she's tense and controlled, even when she's having fun. Not her fault, but still. The best part is how her close companionship with her father is portrayed. The book is an Electra fantasy for hedonists and watching Niven and Seberg recklessly pursue their pleasures is charming and hilarious. The moralistic ending is best ignored.

#Movies #Asian #Chinese #China
I'm watching #55DaysInPeking (again) after a long hiatus & it's just as annoying now as when I 1st watched it.
While it has it's moments, it's reflective of the patronizing & racist way in which the #US film industry has depicted China & the Chinese people for nearly 100 years.
It was a blockbuster movie when it was released in 1963 & stars #CharlestonHeston, #AvaGardner & #DavidNiven & is set during the #BoxerRebellion in China during 1899-1901 which was a grass roots attempt to oust foreign "invaders" from China.
While it failed, the Boxer Rebellion is believed to have contributed to the fall of the Manchu (Ching) Dynasty & the formation of the Kuomingtang (Chinese Nationalist Party) that later fell to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) which then led to the formation of the #RepublicOfChina in Taiwan, which (of course) the CCP does NOT recognize & is just waiting to invade & retake in the name of China.
Worth watching in an historical film context but not otherwise.

#tavoleseparate di #delbertmann L’inglese #TerenceRattigan (1911-1977) nel 1954 firma la commedia teatrale intimista #SeparateTables che riscuote subito un ottimo successo, anche nei teatri d’oltreoceano. Hollywood se ne interessa, visto poi il forte legame fra Rattigan e il cinema che lo ha portato a firmare già varie sceneggiature e non solo di adattamenti di sue... #unofilm #unocinema #film #cinema #burtlancaster #ritaheyworth #davidniven #deborahkerr #wendyhiller

Blake Edwards, Peter Sellers – Der rosarote Panther (1963)
Liebe GenX-Y-Z, ihr müsst jetzt stark sein. Denn über diesen Film, auch weil er noch älter ist, als ich selbst, haben viele Boomer:innen schon ihr ganzes Leben lachen können. Das erschließt sich heute nicht mehr allen. Ist der Film deshalb schlecht gealtert, oder haben wir einfach nur vergessen, wie und wo das, was wir heute modern „Comedy“ nennen, […]

this evening's viewing, a delightfully silly 1970s horror-comedy, Vampira (aka Old Dracula in the US).
It is *very* 70s, the racial elements (probably well meant then) have not aged well, but David Niven carries it along, there's a brace of well-known names from Fredie Jones to Bernard Breslaw, cheesy humour & music, but still has a certain daft charm, somehow
