Chapter 621: Your Majesty Catherine

The world only knows Audrey Hepburn.

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

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

It's not just about being a four-time Oscar-winning actress.

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

Hearing the news of Katharine Hepburn's death, Gal Gadot closed his eyes and prayed for a moment before sighing softly.

"Autobiography?" Don smiled and shook his head, "That's a book she wrote herself, and she doesn't know what to beautify herself." ”

Gal Gadot was very unconvinced: "But she is really powerful, she never accepts media interviews, does not attend celebrity gatherings, refuses unnecessary meetings, refuses to sign autographs for fans, and even goes to the Oscar ceremony!"

Don nodded, "Indeed, she's maverick enough. ”

Gal Gadot said: "She is still a feminist fighter, in those days, women would be ridiculed and even break the law when they wore pants, but she was a pioneer." Moreover, in the smoky Hollywood at that time, she was not afraid of the powerful. Back then, Louis Meyer, the big boss of MGM, saw that she was beautiful, so he went up and kissed her, and she dared to scold him to his face, and the famous movie star John Barrymore called her to the dressing room and tried to rape her, but she beat her......"

Don listened and laughed dumbly.

However, it is also awe-inspiring.

It was the era of Hollywood's big studios, what was the status of MGM's big boss Louis Meyer?

He has more power than today's "Don Walker + Michael Eisner + Tom Rothman" combination!

He created the Oscars!

Countless actresses threw themselves into their arms, he was like an emperor, every afternoon in the office, blessed with all kinds of women.

is in this situation, Katharine Hepburn still dares to openly contradict, which shows that he does have some courage.

"There are gains and losses. Is it really good to offend Louis Meyer?"

Don shook his head, he is now the ruler, of course he is standing in the ruling class to speak, and said slowly: "MGM prepared the classic "Gone with the Wind", Katharine Hepburn went to compete for the heroine, what was the result?

"If she didn't offend Louis Meyer, what would Vivien Leigh do later? More importantly, because she offended Louis Meyer, many good projects left her. In those years, Katharine Hepburn became box office poison and was robbed of her halo by many new actresses. ”

"What is the identity of Louis Meyer? In Hollywood, even Howard Hughes has to concede three points! Her Majesty Catherine in those years was almost the darkest moment of her life. Otherwise, with her artistic achievements and film attainments, not to mention four Oscar queens, seven or eight are not a problem!"

Katharine Hepburn, almost an unsurpassed monument in performance!

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

Director Joseph Mankiewicz filmed "Summer Soul" because he listened to her voice, which gave him artistic inspiration and made this classic suspense film.

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

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

Don shook his head and said, "That's right, but she could be more tactful." ”

Gal Gadot pouted, "Anyway, Katharine Hepburn rose again anyway." ”

"That's because the implementation of the 'Paramount Act' of antitrust put an end to the big studio system. And with the change of times, traditional song and dance films are no longer blockbusters, and MGM's situation is much worse than before, so she has a chance to turn over. Her turnaround is the impetus of the times. In fact, Hollywood is still Hollywood without anyone, let alone an actress?"

Gal Gadot was silent.

Donn smiled and asked, "Do you know Ms. Jane Fonda?"

"You know, legendary actress, two-time Oscar winner. Last year, he divorced media mogul Ted Turner. Gal Gadot was a little confused.

"Do you know why you got divorced?"

"Why?"

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

"Huh, isn't it?"

Gal Gadot was stunned.

Tang En said: "This is the reality of the entertainment industry. Let's not talk about Ted Turner, let's talk about her first husband, Vadim, you know?"

Gal Gadot shook his head.

It's no wonder that Jane Fonda's autobiography won't be published until 2005, and she certainly won't know much about it.

"Vadim is a French director and a leader in Jane Fonda's art. He has one of the most classic sayings - 'jealousy is uncultured behavior'. ”

"Huh?"

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

"Huh?" Gal Gadot had forgotten his shyness when he listened to such a large-scale topic, and his mouth opened wide in shock, "But I remember Lady Jane Fonda's father, wasn't it Henry Fonda?"

"He's an Oscar, he's a well-known producer, he's one of Hollywood's best things," Donn said. No one was an exception to the actresses of that era, and neither was Henry Fonda's daughter. ”

Gal Gadot was so frightened that he wanted to roll up and go back to Israel.

Don En smiled: "Don't worry, with me, no one in the whole Hollywood will dare to bully you!"

Gal Gadot almost vomited blood, his face was flushed and watery, he endured his annoyance, and said angrily: "Don, you did it on purpose, right?"

"What?"

Don looked innocent.

Gal Gadot gritted his teeth and said, "You must be deliberately scaring me." That was a few decades ago, and now in Hollywood, the environment has long since changed. ”

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

Gal Gadot took a breath, avoided his burning gaze, lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, "I...... I've heard...... You're even more ridiculous than that director Vadim. ”

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

Gal Gadot was so angry that he couldn't wait to throw him on his face.

It's so shameless!

Still, Donn's words had some effect.

What is Katharine Hepburn's status? She disobeyed Louis Meyer, and her career was almost cut in half.

Gal Gadot is even less so.

After hearing Donn's words, she probably wouldn't even spill Mark Wahlberg's hot coffee.

……

The death of Katharine Hepburn caused a national sensation.

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

On this day, the White House sent a message of condolence, and President George W. Bush and his wife sent a message of condolence: "We admire her wisdom and wisdom, and she will be remembered forever as a precious artistic treasure of our country." ”

In her hometown, the flag was lowered at half-mast for a moment of silence.

The governor of Connecticut was present in person to officiate at her funeral. (Private funeral)

The Hollywood Walk of Fame, full of flowers.

Broadway is also lit up tonight......

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.

Villa 5 of King's Landing, near the Gold Coast, is the kind of top-notch beachfront villa that only appears in movies.

When she saw the maids complimenting her left and right, she felt that she had become a princess of this world.

No one can say no to this world-class lifestyle and dream mansion.

"Donn, thank you!"

Gal Gadot suppressed his excitement and dialed Donn's phone.

Don 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 there were a lot of clothes here, as well as jewelry, which were prepared for me......"

"That's right. ”

"Huh, is it mine?"

"Don't you look at the size? It's all purchased according to your figure, and you can wear whichever style you like. ”

Gal Gadot was frightened by Donn's arrogance, "You...... How do you know my size?"

Don En smiled: "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 dare I let you take care of the house for me? ”

"Not really...... Gal Gadot slammed into the fawn, his face hot, "I'm a tenant, not a hostess." ”

Tang En snorted and changed the subject, "Although Villa No. 5 is not big, it is fully equipped, you see, what else is needed, just tell the housekeeper." ”

"Well, thank you. ”

Gal Gadot's voice was a little shy.

This feeling...... She seems to have become a canary to be raised.

It's quirky!

She instinctively wanted to refuse.

But when I came to the wardrobe and saw all kinds of glamorous and high-end clothes, my heart was full of joy for a while, and my eyes were about to flash blind.

How can there be a refusal?

She picked out a Chanel white pajama and put it on, and when she looked in the mirror, she felt like a fairy, beautiful, took a deep breath, and shouted out the door: "Someone!"

A maid quickly walked over and said, "Miss, is there something wrong?"

"Took me to the pool. ”

"Yes. ”
