“One of the most astonishing things about Vivien was her energy, which is probably the secret of her life. Certainly the secret of acting. You can’t act without energy, even if you are acting a dull man, an old dying man. You’ve got to have energy to push that out. And she had energy from the moment she woke up till she went to bed—very late.”

其实我也是从我的图片收藏中的蛛丝马迹总结出来的,她们在一起的图片不少,多数都不包括哈德森,上图非常难得地网罗了费雯圈内的三位真正的好友:剧作家Noel Coward,演员Kay Kendall(雷克斯·哈里森的夫人) and Lauren Bacall(鲍嘉的夫人)。

“She had a mind which left most people behind. Most of us simply don’t keep our minds in diamond-cutting gear all the time. We get lazy. We watch the snooker on television or whatever. We suffer by it and make foolish remarks—engage our months without making sure our minds are in gear. We say all sorts of trivialities and inanities which we really don’t work out. And we get through life like that. It’s one of the cushions that we just need. Vivien didn’t do that. Vivien’s mind was just like a diamond drill or something. And I suppose that must have been the reverse side of the mentally depressive coin. “作者: knut 时间: 2011-3-14 23:40
13、Lucinda Ballard 口中的Viv
《欲望号》的服装设计师
“She had the kind of festiveness and longing to make everything an occasion that people usually have more when they’re quite young. I never thought of Vivien as a fabulous star. Vivien never acted as though she was. “
Vivien never acted as though she was. 我并不知道Lucinda是否和Viv还有别的接触,但是在《欲》拍摄期间肯定有比较密切的接触,她说这句话,我想,也正印证了我看《欲》的时候的感觉,布兰奇就是Viv,Viv就是布兰奇,同时据说,Viv在拍摄《欲》期间,有的时候会失控
“I first met her when I was filming Anna Karenina. She was been ill so her contract limited her time on the set to between eleven and four. Every time she stepped onto the set the telephone would ring and it would be Larry checking she was all right. Then at four he’d ring again to make she didn’t work any longer. I was seventeen and thought it very romantic. She always made you feel that you were the most important person in her life. Apparent from her great physical beauty, she was the kindest of friends with the most beautiful manners.You don’t get that in the theatre today. You didn’t get it then.”作者: knut 时间: 2011-3-16 19:13
15、约翰·吉尔古德John Gielgud:
他曾经在费雯丽的葬礼上致辞
以下是英文版
“Among the many sadnesses which age brings us is the loss of dear friends. There are also happily, unforgettably rich memories of their personalities and the good times one enjoyed in their company. I am very proud to have known Vivien as a close friend during the later years of her life—from the 1940s onward, and she is one of those I most miss today. What can I write that will bring back the delight and sparkle that emanated from her? She hated getting old, but I thought her more beautiful than ever as the years went by, with her fine bone structure and delicate neck. She was an impeccable hostess and party-giver, thoughtful and generous to a fault, she had great ambition but was unceasingly self-critical of her acting talent, and working to perfect it with continual diligence. Away from the theater and films studio, she ran her household with infinite care, showed vigorous taste in choosing her clothes, tending and arranging flowers, cherishing her animals, decorating her home, and ordering meals for her guests. Working in plays and films she was loved by her colleagues and staff alike. She was punctual, professional and a workaholic as well as being unfailingly interested in everyone and everything around her. She was only too well aware of her darker side, and fought most gallantly to keep it under control, though in the end, she was fated to be overcome by its cruel demands upon her health. How often I think of her calling me on the telephone with that imperious but affectionate ‘Johnnie?’ and wish so much that I could hear that dear voice again.”
She could have had reason to quarrel with me for I brought fireworks for a party at Vine Cottage; they went off backwards and burnt the curtains. At Notley, while admiring the anicent paintings on the ceiling, which is now the loft, I stepped backwards and came through the ceiling to the best bedroom – she bore both disasters with remarkable restraint.”作者: knut 时间: 2011-3-18 00:03
17、还是吉尔古德
“Vivien had a lifelong devotion to the theatre, and determined to work there diligently through the years in order to reach the heights which she afterwards achieved.
Though in her first big success, The Mask of Virtue, she had taken the critics and public by storm, she knew that her youth and beauty were the chief factors of her immediate success, and she was modest and shrewd enough to face the challenge of developing herself so as to find the widest possible range of which she was capable.”
想起来就毛,当时在演出那两部克利奥帕特拉的时候,有一个评论家叫肯尼斯·梯楠的非常刻薄啊,“她以一个初次登台者的矫揉造作来处理角色,还要求在舞台上平分秋色。费雯丽小姐才华有限,甚至比不上大多数的女演员。给人的印象是,劳伦斯爵士表现了某种有损于任何大演员的骑士风度:他压抑着自己火一般沸腾的激情,为的是不叫她相形见绌;他磨钝自己的刚锋,一扫自己威严堂皇的气派,为的是迁就于她。安东尼跪下来,克莉奥佩特拉拍拍他的脑袋。她这样直瞪瞪地看着国王,实在还不如一头猫,猫还能对他施加催眠术呢!”
看到没有,of which she was capable要不要我给你解释一下意思咧
