BRIGITTE BARDOT

Born: Paris, France, 28 September 1934.france.gif

bardot.jpg

The daughter of an industrialist, she studied ballet from early childhood. At 15 she posed for the cover of France's leading women's magazine, Elle, and her pouting child-woman image brought her to the attention of Roger Vadim, then assistant to director Marc Allégret. She and Vadim were married in 1952, divorced in 1957. In 1952 she made her film debut, in Jean Boyer's Le Trou Normand / Crazy for Love, and then played a variety of secondary roles, graduating to leads in 1955. In 1956 her appearance in Vadim's first film as director, Et Dieu créa la Femme / And God Created Woman, brought her international fame. The success of the film was astounding. Under her husband's guidance she emerged as a new type of sex symbol, a child of nature responding to the call of sensuality, a playful kitten to whom the supreme commandment is love. Box-office receipts the world over announced the birth of a new superstar; the greatest impact was in the US, where "BB" single-handedly brought French films out of the small art houses and into the major movie theatres. The new Bardot "sex kitten" image was maintained in most of her subsequent films. Clad in a breakaway towel, nude, or in abbreviated underwear or bathing suits, she kept packing audiences in from Afghanistan to Zanzibar. Her private life became the subject of world interest and church condemnation. Transitory romances, marriages, and divorces (Vadim, Jacques Charrier, millionaire playboy Gunther Sachs) made world headlines. Since 1960, with her appearance in Clouzot's La Vérité / The Truth, she has also been taken more seriously by critics as a capable actress. Still glamorous long after her retirement from the screen in the early 70s, Bardot remains a popular figure and the subject of frequent reports in French and foreign publications. In 1976 she established the Foundation for the Protection of Distressed Animals, a cause that has kept her visibly active ever since. Ini 1987 she raised $500,000 for the foundation by auctioning off her jewels. In 1985 she was awarded the French Legion of Honour. Among several books on her life and career is a famous treatise by Simone de Beauvoir, Brigitte Bardot and the Lolita Syndrome (1960).

SOPHIA LOREN

(Sofia Scicolone)

Born: Rome, Italy, 20 September 1934.italy.gif

loren.jpg

Loren was a struggling teenage model and bit player when she met producer and future husband Carlo Ponti, one of a panel of judges presiding over a beauty contest in which she was competing, in 1951. Under Ponti's guidance she became one of Italy's leading stars of the 1950s, an earthy, voluptuous figure in the style of Gina Lollobrigida. Over the next two decades, Loren demonstrated the talent and range necessary to transcend her pin-up status; she appeared in some noteworthy films after signing a contract with Paramount in 1957 (The Black Orchid, 1959, Heller in Pink Tights, 1960) and earned a Cannes Festival award as well as an Oscar for her memorable performance in De Sica's Two Women (1961). Loren, who made infrequent appearances during the 80s, received an honorary Oscar in 1991 from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in recognition of her lifetime achievement in film, citing her as "one of the genuine treasures of world cinema."

Gina Lollobrigida

Gina Lollobrigida is an actress mostly known for her films of the 1950s and 1960s. She is also a highly accomplished photographer. The film industry has many many actresses but none of them have ever matched the beauty and glamour as Gina. She is unmatched in the visuals arts with only one other, Connie Francis, a singer who is just as beautiful, classy, and Italian.

A description of Gina from an item on ebay.com: “The name Gina Lollobrigida=Italian Goddess. Of all the beauties to come out of Italy, Gina stands alone in a class all her own. The huge almond eyes, framed by eyebrows shaped like the wings of a raven, the flaring nostrils, those full sensual lips, plump, silky, red like rose petals and the hourglass body so outrageously formed that men would go wild at the sight of her. Yup, this Italiana had it all.”

Gina was born in Subiaco, Italy on July 4th and she began her career after winning a beauty contest in her country Italy. She then became very popular worldwide and starred in films produced worldwide. Here is an early picture of Gina, number 27, at the Miss Rome contest. Silvana Mangano, another Italian babe, is on the far right

Although highly photographed herself, Gina also pursued a career as a photographer

To avoid being recognized as she traveled through Italy taking photgraphs for the book, Gina disguised herself by wearing the grudge look (or teenage fashions of the 1990s). However, the workers in Fiat plant in Turin and also those at the Monafalcone shipyards immediately recognized her, which also brought the entire production line to a halt. Gina is also an accomplished sculptress whose works have been shown at several prestigious public exhibitions, including Expo in Seville, Spain.

During the years she would occasionally return to the screen, for example, starring in two episodes of the 1980s television series “Falcon Crest.”

Some of the movies Gina have starred in include Trapeze, Strange Bedfellows, Where The Hot Wind Blows, Come September, Soloman and Sheba, Beautiful But Dangerous, and Fast and Sexy. Although the titles sound racy, none of her films are x or r rated, and none have all the gore and violence like many movies nowadays. Her movies are rarely shown on TV but there are some videotapes available at video stores.

Kirk Douglas (I)

Sometimes Credited As:

Issur Danielovitch

Mini biography

Cleft chinned, steely eyed and virile star of international cinema who rose from being "the ragmans son" (the name give to his best selling 1988 autobiography) of Russian-Jewish ancestry to become a bona fide superstar, Kirk Douglas was actually born Issur Danielovitch Demsky in Amsterdam, New York in 1916. Although growing up in a poor ghetto, Douglas was a fine student and a keen athlete and wrestled competitively during his time at St. Lawrence University. However, he soon identified an acting scholarship as a way out of his meagre existence, and was sufficiently talented to gain entry into the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. He only appeared in a handful of minor Broadway productions before joining the US Navy in 1941, and then after the end of hostilities in 1945, returned to the theatre and some radio work. On the insistence of ex-classmate Lauren Bacall movie producer Hal B. Wallis screen-tested Douglas and cast him in the lead role in The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (1946). His performance received rave reviews and further work quickly followed including an appearance in the low key drama I Walk Alone (1948), the first time he worked alongide fellow future screen legend Burt Lancaster. Such was the strong chemistry between Douglas & Lancaster that they appeared in seven films together including the dynamic western Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957), the John Frankenheimer political thriller Seven Days in May (1964) and their final pairing in the gangster comedy Tough Guys (1986). Douglas once said about his good friend: "I've finally gotten away from Burt Lancaster. My luck has changed for the better. I've got nice looking girls in my films now".

After appearing in I Walk Alone (1948), Douglas scored his first Oscar nomination playing the untrustworthy & opportunist boxer Midge Kelly in the gripping Champion (1949). The quality of his work continued to seize the attention of critics and he was again nominated for Oscars for _Bad and The Beautiful, The (1952)_ and for his portrayal of tortured painter Vincent van Gogh in _Lust For Life (1956)_ , both directed by notable director Vincente Minnelli. In 1955, Douglas launched his own production company, "Bryna Productions", which was the key production house behind two pivotal film roles in his career. The first was as the French officer, Colonel Dax in the superb anti-war epic of Paths of Glory (1957) directed by Stanley Kubrick. Secondly, Kirk reunited with Kubrick for the lead role in the magnificent Roman Empire drama of Spartacus (1960)...the role for which he is most closely identified. Spartacus also marked a key turning point in the life of blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, as at Douglas's insistence, Trumbo was given on screen credit for his contributions, thus breaking a long standing exclusion of "the Hollywood ten".

Douglas remained equally busy throughout the 1960s starring in many films including as a rebel cowboy in a contemprary setting in _Lonely are the Brave (1962)_ , alongside John Wayne in the Pearl Harbor story of _In Harms Way (1965)_ , again with The Duke in another WWII actioner, Cast a Giant Shadow (1966) and once more with Wayne in the tongue in cheek western The War Wagon (1967). Additionally, in 1963 he starred in an onstage production of "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest", but despite his keen interest, no Hollywood studio could be convinced to bring the story to the screen. However, the story remained with the Douglas clan, and Kirk's talented son Michael Douglas finally filmed the tale in 1975 starring Jack Nicholson.

Into the 1970s Douglas wasn't as busy as previous years, however he starred in some unusual vehicles including alongside a young Arnold Schwarzenegger in the loopy western The Villain (1979), then alongside Farrah Fawcett in sci-fi flick Saturn 3 (1980) and then travelled to Australia for the horse opera/drama The Man from Snowy River (1982). Unknown to many, Kirk has long been involved in humanitarian causes and has been a Goodwill Ambassador for the US State Dept since 1963. His efforts were rewarded in 1981 with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and in 1983 with the Jefferson Award. Furthermore, the French honored him with the Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. More recognition followed for his work with the American Cinema Award (1987), the German Golden Kamera Award (1987), The National Board of Reviews Career Achievement Award (1989), an honorary Academy Award (1995), Recipient of the American Film Institute's Lifetime Achievement Award (1999) and the UCLA Medal of Honor (2002). Despite a helicopter crash and a stroke suffered in the 1990s, he remains active and continues to appear in front of the camera.
