第76章 Movie Stars 影视明星(4)

After 1941, she retired after appearing in 27 films, and became increasingly reclusive。 She has been indelibly linked to one of her lines from the film Grand Hotel: “I want to be alone”。 She later remarked, “I never said, ‘I want to be alone。’ I only said, ‘I want to be let alone。’ There is all the difference。” To the end of her life, Garbo-watching became a sport among the paparazzi and the media, but she remained elusive up until her death in 1990 at the age of 84。

在一个明星们绞尽脑汁,不惜使尽浑身解数,“争先恐后”出现在公众视线的年代,很难理解一位正处于事业巅峰的名人竟然能淡泊名利,远离鲜花和掌声,毅然抽身隐退!她是否是厌倦了扮演“象征”的日子,仅仅是奢望回归“人”的正常生活·(嘉宝在《瑞典女王》中的台词,也许是最贴近她自身写照的电影),或许她是如此脆弱,担心万一有朝一日招致挫败时,无力面对摄相机镜头·

现存的可以对嘉宝进行评价的唯一的根据就是她留给世人的影片。同其他虚构人物玛里琳·门罗或是詹姆斯·迪安相比,嘉宝至少还留有作品。尽管她在早期作品如《罗曼史》或《激流》中的表现确实是愚蠢的,但在《卡米尔》《瑞典女王》和《尼诺奇卡》中的表现的确是可圈可点,至今令人难以忘怀。或许没有影星在退出银幕这么多年后,仍能被观众久久追忆,但葛丽泰·嘉宝却做到了!

About Bergman

关于褒曼

Ingrid Bergman was a Swedish actress who starred in a variety of European and American films。 She won three Academy Awards, two Emmy Awards, and the Tony Award for Best Actress。 She is ranked as the fourth greatest female star of American cinema of all time by the American Film Institute。 She is best remembered for her roles as Ilsa Lund in Casablanca。

Before becoming a star in American films, she had already been a leading actress in Swedish films。 Her first introduction to American audiences came with her starring role in the English remake of Intermezzo in 1939。 In America, she brought to the screen a “Nordic freshness and vitality”, along with extreme beauty and intelligence, and according to the St。 James Encyclopedia of Popular Culture, she quickly became “the ideal of American womanhood” and one of Hollywood’s greatest leading actresses。

Her producer David O。 Selznick, who called her “the most completely conscientious actress” he had ever worked with, gave her a seven-year acting contract, thereby assuring her continual stardom。 A few of her other starring roles, besides Casablanca, included For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943), Gaslight (1944), The Bells of St。 Mary’s (1945), Alfred Hitchcock’s Spellbound (1945), Notorious (1946), and Under Capricorn (1949), and the independent production, Joan of Arc (1948)。

In 1950, after a decade of stardom in American films, she starred in the Italian film Stromboli, which led to a love affair with director Roberto Rossellini while they were both already married。 The affair created a scandal that forced her to return to Europe until 1956, when she made a successful Hollywood comeback in Anastasia, for which she won her second Academy Award, as well as the forgiveness of her fans。

她与鲍嘉主演的《北非谍影》(《卡萨布兰卡》)是电影史上最经典的电影之一。这部从侧面描写第二次世界大战的爱情影片,令几代观众为之倾倒。她与贾利·古柏合演的《战地钟声》(《丧钟为谁而鸣》),是根据海明威的小说改编的,海明威一向对根据他小说改编的电影提出强烈的批评,而这一次,他保持了缄默。而褒曼不惜剪掉一头秀发,在电影公司找来的专业设计师的精心设计下,电影中褒曼的一头极短的短发立即风靡全球。这时的褒曼已经是全美妇女们心中的偶像,她几乎左右着她们的打扮喜好和穿着。
