RSSGreat Movie Stars Of All Time - Entertainment Hollywood Legends
September 11th, 2010 by admin | Filed under copy dvds.
Since the dawn of film making, Hollywood has been producing legends. These legends, whether they are actors, actresses, or directors are responsible for taking the community at large and transporting them for two hours into a world that is unlike any they have known. Entertainment is a necessary commodity in today’s world as it is becoming more and more necessary to step out of our own stress-filled lives for a while and envelope ourselves in the usually brighter, more dazzling world of entertainment Hollywood legends.
Marilyn Monroe
Born Norma Jeane Baker, Marilyn Monroe is probably the most recognizable female Hollywood icon on the planet. She spent a lot of time in orphanages and foster homes until 1937 when she was 11 years old. Originally typecast as a dumb blond, her innate sensuality coupled with a childlike innocence has rendered her one of the sweethearts of Hollywood. Some of her films have included: Dangerous Years, Love Nest, Monkey Business and Gentleman Prefer Blondes.
In the movie Casablanca just towards the end, Rick says his farewell to the girl he left behind and sends her on her way with her husband to America. After they leave, Major Strassa of the Gestapo arrives to find out that Victor Lazlo and his wife are on the plane heading for America. Strassa heads for the telephone at the airport to warn of their departure. He picks up the telephone and begins to speak into it. Rick (Humphrey Bogart) tells him to put the phone down several times. Strassa then pulls a gun on Rick but Rick shoots him first. Strassa falls slowly to the ground, still holding the receiver of the phone in his hand.
Then on TV we had the great and funny show Laugh In with Lilly Tomlin doing the bit about the rude telephone operator. She’s place her call by starting off, “One ringy dingy…two ringy dingy…”. And the attitude of this woman towards the people placing calls makes you laugh even more today because of how rude telephone operators of today really are. She was way ahead of her time.
In an old Abbott and Costello bit, Lou tries to make a phone call but each time he tries somebody comes over and gets to the pay phone before he does. The person then calls some place that’s a zillion miles away from where they are calling and they get through with no problem at all. But poor Lou can’t make a call to a number that’s only a few blocks away on the other side of town. His frustration level with the operator can only make us smile as we many times experience that same level of frustration.
In the movie “Sergeant York” after Gary Cooper (York) comes back to the states as a hero and is given a warm welcome in New York City, he gets a call from his mother back home. It is the first time she has ever used a telephone. She tries to talk to him but can’t hear because she’s not close enough to the phone. Finally her daughter tells her to get closer to the phone and she asks Alvin the famous question “Alvin, when are yuh commin’ home?” There wasn’t a dry eye in the theater when they showed this.
Alfred Hitchcock
Known as one of the greatest thriller directors of all time, he was born in London in 1899. His plots used many mistaken identity themes and he also made cameo appearances in most of his films. He often used blond haired leading ladies, and fashioned plot points around bathrooms. Some of his most famous films were Shadow of Doubt, Dial M for Murder, and Psycho, truly one of the greatest entertainment Hollywood legends
