Geneviève was the middle daughter in a devout French-Canadian Catholic family. Her parents took care of their children according to the principles of a Catholic upbringing. Little Genevieve was assigned to a maiden boarding school for a 12-year education. The strict discipline of boarding school she did not like - young Bugeau dreamed of a career as an actress. Once for freethinking and reading a banned novel Geneviève Bugeau was expelled from the institution.

Then she entered the Montreal School of Dramatic Art.

During vacations, arriving in Paris, the future actress was selected French film director Alain Resnais as a partner of Yves Montand for the female role in the film "The War is Over" (1966). In the same year, Geneviève Bugeau played in another French film "King of Hearts".

KIM BASINGER

She was born December 8, 1953, in Athens, Georgia, USA.

Her father is the president of his own financial company, her mother - as a young statistician of a water show.

Blond, bright Kim turned out to be almost the most notable star among a whole hurricane of "sexbombs", which, according to film critics, the American screen has brought down on the viewer to the early 90's. Basinger is distinguished by her charm, sensuality, but most importantly by her originality. She is free and relaxed both in life and on screen, masterfully presents her plasticity, beauty and physical perfection. At the same time, she has managed to become the embodiment of femininity and tenderness, joy and slyness.

She took her first step to fame at the age of 18, taking part in her state's beauty pageant and winning the Miss Pagan prize. Kim's good fortune inspired her, and she went to New York to seek her fortune. She worked in advertising, as a model, a model, participated in revues, danced, sang, and acted in amateur productions. The work brought her financial and personal independence, but did not give satisfaction, and she went to California. Here Kim starred in television movies, the public liked her, but there was no real success. After much hesitation, she decided to take her last chance - she accepted a job at Playboy magazine. И... she got what she wanted. After the publication there of her photos offer to star in a big movie followed one after another.

At first it was a comic role in the movie "The Man Who Loved Women" (1983), B. Edwards. But the main success of the same year was Domino Petaci in the Bond series "Never Say Never" by I. Kershner. Participation in this film gave Kim an opportunity to showcase literally all their abilities and strengths - plasticity, athleticism and even his "hypersensitive" mouth in the final frame, when she before the traditional kiss languidly and sly uttered the phrase, which became the title of the tape. In this film, the actress has created an attractive image of a somewhat mysterious, erotically alluring golden-blond beauty who finds herself in the "demonic nets of evil. This image has become a business card Basinger - irresistible blonde, struggling with the dark forces of vice. The tape was a huge box-office success, passed on the screens of the world.

However, the "star" movie was Kim film "9 1/2 Weeks" (1986) by E. Line. It was a resounding success on video, became a hit in Europe, brought in 100 million dollars in revenue. The film's blatant eroticism led to protests in some countries, but this helped publicize it even more. Kim's talent in this film was revealed in the combination of her two professions: actress and model. Her "sense of camera", the possession of her body, musicality - all "played" in the love scenes: after the film Basinger became known as the Golden Lady of eroticism.

After "Nine and a half weeks" Bassinger successfully played again with B. Edwards in the film "Blind Date" (1987), the thriller "No Mercy" by R. Pierce, the comedy "Nadine" (1987). In the latter she - moving, resourceful, humorous girl. Directed by R. Benton, the man himself a great talent for comedy, a master of fiction, fairy tales, he needed an actress like Kim, who brought to the film sparkling, bubbly, as champagne, vitality and optimism.

In the movie "Batman" (1989) Bassinger played the role of Vicky Veni - photographer, turned into a fighter against the villain Jokerom, along with a young millionaire Kim Wayne, played by Michael Keaton. Here she continued the theme begun in Never Say Never. Accurately grasping the conventional style of the film, she again plays a blond beauty, courageously entered the battle with the forces of evil. But in Batman, Basinger is more interesting and subtle. There is no intentional sexuality in her performance, but there is something else - irony, a sense of humor, a funny approach to the scary tale, which is interesting to both adults and children.

Kim had a divorce from the famous producer Ron Britten. A stormy romance with Alec Baldwin - Basinger's partner in the film "The Marrying Man" (1991), a sparkling mischievous comedy, which revealed another talent of the actress - the ability to sing.

Academy Award (1930/31):

Best Actor ("Free Soul").

DREW BARRYMORE

She is an American actress and film producer.

She was born on February 22, 1975, in Culver City, California, USA.

The Barrymore acting dynasty dates back to Maurice Barrymore, a nineteenth-century English tragedian. Drew's grandfather, John Barrymore, was the most popular actor-performer of Shakespearean roles in the twenties and thirties, a silent film star. He had the nickname The Great Profile. His son, John Drew Barrymore, Jr. was a charming actor who appeared both in life and on the screen mostly in the role of the hero-lover. His mother was a Hungarian actress, a very pretty brunette Ildiko Jad Mako. Drew's birth did not save the family, whose head suffered from an addiction to alcohol.

Her own career got off to a very energetic start. Drew Barrymore starred in commercials when she was not yet a year old, in 1982 she played the sister of the main character in E.T. Alien. This was followed by several less successful compared to "E.T.", but quite prominent roles. Not yet of age, Drew Barrymore became an idol of America. Lightning transformation from an ordinary kid into a superstar has not passed without a trace for Drew. She begins to attract attention is not so much as an actress as a source of dirty scoops: alcoholism, drug addiction, suicide attempt, treatment in a mental hospital. After dropping out of school, she left her mother at age 15, and then she sued and got the right to conduct her own affairs. A year later she wrote and published an autobiography, Lost Little Girl, and at 17 she was already posing nude for Playboy.

All this time, Barrymore continued to shoot, but in serious films, there was no place for her - the result of scandalous behavior on the set, quarrels with the directors, arrests for drug possession. Drew Barrymore may well have awaited the fate of many child actors who, once grown up, lose all appeal, but in the early 90's, Drew on a wave of dubious fame and scandal returned to the cinema. The first call from an acting agent after a long break sounded in 1992. Barrymore was called to play a major role in the movie "Poison Ivy. This role was followed by a series of others, exploiting the life and screen roles Barrymore - wild, loose girls, alcoholics, drug addicts and juvenile delinquents.

For the picture "Crazy About Guns" (1992), she won the "Golden Globe" award.

It is very difficult for a child actor to transition into adult roles. Drew Barrymore, however, solved this problem in her own way - changed the role, played a sexy villain, so that all pay attention to her intrigues, not age.

In March 1994, Drew Barrymore married Jeremy Thomas, who served on a merchant ship in the Navy. Thomas also owned a bar under the laconic name "The Room" in Los Angeles. Drew and Jeremy had known each other for more than two years, but despite that, the family lasted only six weeks.

Beginning in 1996, Drew began a gradual return to the image of the sweet, charming girl. A good example of this is her role as Cinderella in the 1998 film "Eternal Love Story", which, however, did not receive much popularity in the States. This is a real hit was released in the same year the movie "The Wedding Singer," in which Barrymore played a couple with Adam Sandler, with whom they wrote the script for this picture. After "The Wedding Singer," her royalties soared to seven million dollars per film plus ten percent profit on every dollar earned.

Drew was used to doing everything herself. After "The Wedding Singer," she started her own film studio, which she calls Flower Films.

"I'm a first-class smith of my own happiness," the actress said. You can believe her: not long ago she married her longtime friend, MTV host Tom Green.

JOHN SIDNEY BLYTPE

Real last name: Blytpe.

February 15, 1882, Philadelphia - May 29, 1942, Los Angeles.

An American theater legend, a famous stage performer of Shakespearean roles, the youngest of the Barrymore family of actors, he went down in history, following the English actor Kean, also as the embodiment of the formula "genius and wantonness. Born into a theatrical family, John studied the fine arts in Paris and dreamed of becoming an artist or, at worst, a journalist. But the family tradition took over, and twenty-odd years old, in 1903, he came into the "temple of Melpomene. The noble, courageous beauty (he even received flattering nickname "The Great Profile"), stateliness, grace, coupled with the undoubted talent has allowed the young man to quickly advanced. A year later, Barrymore had already made his Broadway debut in the play "Glad About It. With a keen sense of humor, he in the 10′s widely performed in comedies "romantic suspense": "Hunter of the Fortune," "Half-Man", "Princess Zim-Zim", "Believe Me, Xanthippa, and soon became a leader in this unusual role.

In the cinema began acting in 1913, first - in the adaptation of their theatrical productions ( "American citizen", 1913, "The Dictator," 1918, "Vhikharya", 1918), and then in a comic two-part: "You Mason? (1915), "Almost King" (1916), "The Lost Groom" (1917). An idea of them can be given by the last film, where Barrymore is hit on the head by some tramp and he, deprived of memory, joins the gangsters who rob his fiancée's apartment. Another blow to the same spot brings the hero back to his original state at the most critical moment. Not surprisingly, in such "movie escapades" John saw only a means of obtaining additional earnings, which he has always been in dire need: alcohol and women demanded money.

The main thing was for him to work in the theater: in the 10′s he played there in "Resurrection," Leo Tolstoy, "Justice," J. Tolsworthy, was the famous Richard III and unforgettable Hamlet. He also participated in the play of his second wife, Michelle Strange, "Moonlight. The 20′s cinema was marked by the resounding success of John in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (1920), the image of the great detective in "Sherlock Holmes" (1922) and Captain Ahab of "Moby Dick", which was dubbed "sea monster" (1926). Melville storyline was supplemented in it by a love story, against which Barrymore initially vehemently objected, but then this screen romance grew into a life one, and Dolores Costello became the actor's third wife. Sincerity and strength of feeling displayed here made the actor famous as a "great lover". However, the following two pictures: "Don Juan" (1926) and "When a man loves" (1927, adaptation of "Manon Lescaut") were met with the press and the audience is quite cold. Perhaps the actor was too deep for the required interpretation of these classic works in the "spirit of Douglas Fairbanks, what was natural in that, with Barrymore looked artificial.

Well-established, rich overtones, "theatrical" voice allowed the actor to safely pass the barrier of sound films. But in the 30 years he had already used mostly accumulated baggage. Thus, in "Spectacle of the Spectacle" (1929) he recited his famous monologue from "Richard III". "The winter of our anxiety ..."; in the comedy "Man of Blankley" (1930) played an English lord, again appeared as Captain Ahab in "Moby Dick" (1930), was the famous hypnotist in "Svengali" (1931). In "Rasputin and the Empress" (1932) Barrymore shot all three: his brother Lionel played Rasputin, his sister Ethel - the queen, and John - Felix Yusupov. It all ended with a rowdy scandal. The family of the prince began a libel suit and won it. The studio had to pay 25 thousand dollars, plus huge legal fees ...

In "Lunch at Eight" (1933) Barrymore played a role close to him: the aging of the famous actor, a drunkard, losing himself. In life, this passion for goryotvilnym drinks acted on it more and more destructively. Weakened his memory and had to spread the prompter cards everywhere. John began to often be late to the set, and sometimes did not show up at all. But because his fame was still great, these faults until he got away with it.

In the mid 30′s, when Hollywood was in vogue for a prestigious, primarily Shakespearean, pictures, D. Selznick even tried him on Hamlet. But the result was regrettable: traces of dissipation have already been imprinted on the face of the great tragedian. However, Barrymore was given one of the secondary roles in "Romeo and Juliet" (1936) - this kind of screen production demanded a well-known name in the theatrical world. Filming him in "Lady of the Camellias" in the same year did not take place at all: the actor was in hospital for alcoholics.

After his return from there for major roles, he could not qualify - only minor, and then in the movie class "B". Filmed in the detective series "Bulldog Drummond, played a small role of Louis XV in "Marie Antoinette" (1938), the old professor in "Hold that student" (1938). Not better things were in the theater. He appeared on stage in the dreadful play My Dear Children with his fourth wife, Ellen Barry. During tours in Chicago and New York audiences came mainly to see the shame of the once great master: he forgot the text, swore off, fell on stage. Barrymore and himself understood the depth of their own degradation, for in 1940, sparodiroval himself in the movie "The Great Profile", and then did it again in "Playing Partners" (1942). Soon the actor died: the funeral had to collect money, for there was not a cent in the house.

For half a century after the death of Barrymore, all this "prosaic life" has receded into the background. And in the history of American art, John Barrymore remained a true pinnacle, albeit "shattered by life. It is no wonder that the first biographer of the actor Gene Fowler called the book about him farewell words of Horatio, addressed to the recently deceased Hamlet: "Sleep, sweet prince ..."

Tarantino somehow happened to get a film tape with an audition for Steve on some movie, and, according to Quentin Tarantino, Steve looked at these auditions as the outlaw: sickly appearance, old-fashioned fancy silk shirt and slicked-back hair. Steve, however, after reading the script, decided that the role of Mr. Pink was just right for him. For Tarantino, it was a little surprising, because he had planned to offer Steve the role of Mr. Orange or Eddie, and the role of Mr. Pink is intended for himself. Nevertheless, he did give Mr. Pink to Steve, and perhaps he got it right.
