Heads Up Hollywood

The world only knows Audrey Hepburn.

But in fact, in the Hollywood industry, there is an insurmountable gap between Audrey Hepburn and Katharine Hepburn in terms of their contributions to movies!

Katharine Hepburn was honored as the "Empress" by the industry, or "His Majesty Catherine", in order to put her at the same level as the Russian Empress Catherine II.

It's not just as simple as being an Oscar-winning actress four times.

"I've read her autobiography, it's very legendary."

Hearing the news of Katherine Hepburn's death, Gal Gadot closed her eyes and prayed for a while, then sighed softly.

"Autobiography?" Tang En smiled and shook his head, "It's a book written by herself, I don't know how it's beautified for myself."

Gal Gadot said very unconvinced: "But she is indeed very powerful. She never accepts media interviews, does not attend celebrity parties, refuses unnecessary meetings, refuses to sign autographs for fans, and even the Oscar awards ceremony, she Don't go!"

Tang En nodded, "Indeed, she is unique enough."

Gal Gadot said: "She is still a feminist fighter. In that era, women would be ridiculed and even broke the law for wearing pants, but she was a pioneer. Moreover, in the smoky Hollywood at that time, she was not afraid of the powerful. Back then, Louis Mayer, the big boss of MGM, saw her beautiful, so he went up and kissed her, and she dared to scold him face to face; also, the famous movie star John Barrymore called her to the dressing room, trying to rape her, In the end, she was beaten up..."

Upon hearing this, Tang En couldn't help but laugh.

However, it is indeed awe-inspiring.

It was the era of big studios in Hollywood. What is the status of MGM's big boss, Louis Mayer?

He is more powerful than today's combination of "Dawn Walker + Michael Eisner + Tom Rothman"!

He created the Oscars!

Numerous actresses threw themselves into their arms, and he was like an emperor, enjoying all kinds of women in the office every afternoon.

This is the case, Katharine Hepburn dared to contradict openly, which shows that she does have some courage.

"Whatever you gain, you will lose. Is it really good to offend Louis Meyer?"

Tang En shook his head. He is the ruler now, so of course he is speaking from the ruling class, and he said slowly, "Katharine Hepburn went to compete for the leading actress in the classic "Gone With the Wind" prepared by MGM. What happened? Her role Snatched away by a little-known British actress!"

"If she didn't offend Louis Mayer, what would happen to Vivien Leigh later? More importantly, because she offended Louis Mayer, many good projects went away from her. Katharine Hepburn in those years She became a box office poison, and was robbed of her aura by many newcomer actresses."

"What is Louis Meyer's identity? In Hollywood, even Howard Hughes has to give up three points! Her Majesty Catherine in those years was almost the darkest moment in her life. Otherwise, with her artistic achievements and film accomplishments, Not to mention four Oscar queens, seven or eight are no problem!"

Katharine Hepburn, almost an unsurpassed monument in acting!

Not only the performance, but even her voice is an indelible art classic of that era.

Director Joseph Mankiewicz filmed "Summer Crazy", and it was after listening to her voice that he had artistic inspiration and made this classic suspense film.

Anthony Hopkins had the opportunity to cooperate with Her Majesty Catherine in the movie "The Lion in Winter". Her voice, which gave him an epiphany and captivated him, was the inspiration for his terrifying "Hannibal" image in "The Silence of the Lambs."

Gal Gadot looked shocked, "Is it wrong for her to reject Louis Mayer's harassment?"

Tang En shook his head and said, "That's right, but she can be more tactful."

Gal Gadot pouted, "In any case, Katharine Hepburn rose again later."

Tang En said: "That's because the implementation of the anti-monopoly 'Paramount Act' ended the system of big studios. Moreover, with the change of times, traditional musicals no longer sell well, and MGM's situation is not as good as before. This is the chance to turn around. Her turnaround is the impetus of the times. In fact, Hollywood is still Hollywood without anyone, let alone an actress?"

Gal Gadot was silent.

Tang En asked with a smile: "Do you know Ms. Jane Fonda?"

"I know, legendary actress, two-time Oscar winner. Last year, he divorced media tycoon Ted Turner." Gal Gadot was a little puzzled.

"Do you know why you got divorced?"

"Why?"

"Because of her failed plastic surgery, she has lost the opportunity to accompany Ted Turner to attend various high-end social occasions."

"Huh? Isn't it?"

Gal Gadot was stunned.

Tang En said: "This is the reality of the entertainment industry. Don't talk about Ted Turner, just talk about her first husband Vadim, you know?"

Gal Gadot shook his head.

No wonder, Jane Fonda's autobiography will not be published until 2005, and she certainly won't know much about it.

Tang En said: "Vadim is a French director and the leader of Jane Fonda's art. He has one of the most classic words - 'Jealous is an uneducated behavior'."

"ah?"

"In order to keep her lover and continue her acting career, Jane Fonda often helped her husband, director Vadim, find relationships everywhere, find all kinds of women, and satisfy his sexual threesome requirements."

"Ah?" Gal Gadot had forgotten her shyness when she heard such a large-scale topic, and opened her mouth in shock, "But I remember Ms. Jane Fonda's father, isn't it Henry Fonda?"

Tang En said: "So what? He is an Oscar winner, he is a well-known producer, and he is also one of the Hollywood stars. There are no exceptions for the actresses of that era, and Henry Fonda's daughter is not allowed either. "

Gal Gadot was almost crying in fright, and wanted to pack up and go back to Israel.

Tang En smiled and said, "Don't worry, with me here, no one in Hollywood will dare to bully you!"

Gal Gadot almost vomited blood, her face flushed and moist, holding back her annoyance, and said in shame and indignation: "Tang En, did you do it on purpose?"

"What?"

Tang En looked innocent.

Gal Gadot gritted his teeth: "You must be trying to scare me on purpose. That was decades ago, and in Hollywood now, the environment has changed a long time ago."

Tang En pointed to his face, and pointed to his chest, and said: "Even if a person has plastic surgery and becomes more radiant, he is still the same person in his bones. Hollywood is still Hollywood."

Gal Gadot took a breath, avoided his scorching gaze, lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "I...I heard...you are more ridiculous than that director Vadim. "

Tang En laughed twice, and said lightly: "He is a shameless bastard, he dumped Jane Fonda when he got tired of playing. I will not abandon my woman."

Gal Gadot was so angry that he wanted to throw red wine on his face.

How shameless!

However, Tang En's words had some effect after all.

What is Katharine Hepburn's status? She disobeyed Louis Meyer, and her career was nearly wiped out.

Not even Gal Gadot.

Having heard what Tang En said a long time ago, she might not even spill hot coffee with Mark Wahlberg's face.

...

Katharine Hepburn's death caused a national sensation.

On that day, all TV stations across the United States were broadcasting movies or documentaries about her life. Even Starz TV broadcast her fourth Oscar-winning movie "Golden Pond" during the prime time of the night.

On this day, the White House sent condolences. President Bush Jr. and his wife sent a message of condolence: "We admire her intelligence and wisdom, and she will always be remembered as our country's precious artistic wealth."

In her hometown, the flag was flown at half-mast in silence.

The governor of Connecticut attended her funeral in person. (closed funeral)

The Hollywood Walk of Fame is full of flowers.

Broadway is also tonight, the lights are always on...

Gal Gadot, who was still a little sad about the death of Katharine Hepburn, has been immersed in the ocean of happiness at this time.

King's Landing Villa No. 5 near the Gold Coast is the kind of top-notch beach house that only appears in movies.

When she saw the maids complimenting her, she felt like a princess in this world.

No one can resist this world-class lifestyle and dream mansion.

"Dawn, thank you!"

Gal Gadot suppressed his excitement and called Tang En.

Tang En said with a smile: "I want to thank you, thank you for helping me look at the house."

Gal Gadot blushed a little, and whispered: "That...the maid said that there are a lot of clothes and jewelry here, all for me..."

"That's right."

"Huh? Is it really mine?"

"Didn't you check the size? They are all purchased according to your figure. You can wear whichever style you like."

Gal Gadot was taken aback by Tang En's arrogance, "You... how do you know my size?"

Tang En smiled and said, "Didn't you participate in the Miss Israel beauty pageant? I have your resume."

Gal Gadot said coquettishly, "So you're investigating me."

"Of course, if I don't investigate you, how can I trust you to take care of the house? It's a new house. Besides me, you are the only hostess here."

"That's not it..." Gal Gadot fawned, his face was hot, "I'm just a tenant, not a hostess."

Tang En laughed and changed the subject, "Although Villa No. 5 is not too big, it is fully equipped. Take a look. If you need anything else, just tell the housekeeper."

"Well, thank you."

Gal Gadot's voice was a little shy.

This feeling... She seemed to be a canary being fed.

Very weird!

She instinctively wanted to refuse.

But when I came to the closet, I saw all kinds of high-end clothing that were glamorous, and my heart was full of enthusiasm for a moment, and my eyes almost went blind.

How can there be any possibility of rejection?

She picked out a white Chanel pajamas and put them on, and when she looked in the mirror, she felt like a fairy. She looked so beautiful, took a deep breath, and shouted out the door: "Come on!"

A maid came over quickly, "Miss, what's the matter?"

"Take me to the pool."

"yes."
