Описание: This book is composed of Loretta Youngs 1990 conversations with me (Edward Funk) about her movie years.In the concurrent new book, Behind the Door: the Real Life of Loretta Young, I delve into a select few of Loretta Youngs ninety-eight films; enough to know she was a major movie star and her battles to get there and remain for the next twenty-five years. Yet, Loretta and I had discussed ninety-one of her films and that left so much material behind. Since 1990, voices able to recall a career from the silent era, through the golden years of film, have been extinguished. Lorettas isnt just any voice; she tells us from an Academy Award winning stars perspective. She discusses the actors, the directors, the producers, the clothes (and more clothes ), what she learned about acting, her innumerable crushes on her leading men, her reputation as being difficult, the roles she wanted, the roles she didnt. Its eighty thousand words of memories, a discussion of which, hopefully, classic film buffs will enjoy eavesdropping. Excerpts: When the camera rolled, he (jimmy Cagney) was in character; there was no getting around it. And I think for a woman to have a man, who is violent that way, but shes the only one hes sensitive with and sweet and soft with, its doubly important to her then. Even playing a character in a picture, you felt a part of that. Acting, I think, is a wonderful bit of therapy for anyone because you can do, really, anything that you might be tempted to, and you really arent doing it, because youre only acting. Because theres a lot of attraction, I find, in evil. Usually, its so covered up with beauty that you dont see the evil.Nothing turns me off quicker than somebody whos not infatuated or thinks Im divine.If you are a star, you dont have to act like a star. You are a star. You know that by how much money you get; you know that by where your name appears....You can only make love for three minutes as long as the camera is rolling, and passionate love if you want, and the minute the camera is over, no responsibility whatsoever. You call that just a job? Well, its not quite just a job, is it? I know I want things my way. I know in the studio, everyone used to say and they still do, that Im not the easiest person in the world to work with...producers and writers...... I know Im not.....I was given the #1 dressing room at the studio for MANS CASTLE. I didnt know at that time that at the back of the closet of that dressing room there was a door that led right into Harry Cohns private office. I think Alan (Ladd) was very conscious of his looks. He would not look beyond a certain point in the camera because he didnt think he looked good. What difference does it make what a man looks like so long as he looks like a man? With a woman, its very important. These are womens tricks. Its a models walk. It allows you to swing your body without swinging your hips because the whole body goes with it. I know its showing off. Otherwise it would not please me most when the camera is going because everybody is going to look at me big, blown-up.Youd be surprised how important a movie star feels at times. Reigning kings and queens dont mean very much unless they come into your life in the way this did. But just to meet a king or queen, I dont know, Id never go out of my way to do it. Now, I loved love scenes, all the touching and petting because I liked men. I liked them then, and I still like them.(Speaking to director Jules Dassin): I cant continue. I dont think youre any happier with me than I am with you. One of us is going to go, and I think, unfortunately for you, at this point, Im a bigger star than youre a director. It isnt easy for a beautiful woman to be a faithful wife. If shes happily married, yes. Very easy for her to be. But if shes unhappily married and shes attractive, its very difficult. Very.
