In the era of a silent movie were their Angelins Jolie, Pitta's Brads and Johnny Depp. And imagine, no worse than our. PICS.RU offers to admire the people of the idols of our great-grandfathers and learn their stories.
Okay, about Charlie Chaplin, Rudolfo Valentino, Mary Picford and the Faith Cold, you heard the same a hundred times without us. So let's take at once other names.Asta Nielsen.
Thanks to the grandfather, whose name, we will never know because of the modesty of your grandmother, the Asta Dane was born with Zhuge-South on Scandinavian standards appearance and the same temperament. Before joining the movie, the actress played in the theater in Copenhagen. The first film with its participation, "abyss", brought actress, and the director of the picture of fame; The twenty-one-year-old Asta instantly got into sex symbols of roaring twenties. At least in Europe.
The appearance and plastic provided it with an empta exotic girls with an energetic and bold character. For example, in the film "Girl without Motherland" she played a spy gypsy, in Mata Hari - also a spy, but a dancer; She played the colors and fatal ladies, maids and circusacles, Gamlet and Mexican transship with a gun.
The last work in the movie was the role in the first sound film Asta "Impossible Love". After the painting, the actress returned to the theater. In the old age left the scene and took up visual arts: laid out the paintings from pieces of colored fabric.
Asta Nielsen was married to another "dumb" actor, emigrant Grigory Khmara, divorced him in 1930 and happily lived until ninety years. We are happy for her.
Jack Picford.
The star of Hollywood Mary Picford played, as you know, positive teens girls (well, and orphans of both sexes). In modern cinema, it is difficult to choose an analog for it, but they loved it just like, for example, Hermione Emma Watson. So, Jack Picford is like if Emma's brother, Alex, threw the work of the model and went to film. Mimmi extremely! Thanks to its appearance and, apparently, the family talent Jack instantly turned into a popular Hero-lover. And not the fatal, and such ... like cute orphans performed by his sister. Purity itself.
In life, a cute boy loved to abuse the attention of the fans, drugs and alcohol, so he left the cinema before the emergence of sound cinema could break his career. Already at 36, he died.
Dan Obanet
Dan Opotat was from young people who are lucky from birth. The son of rich parents, a beautiful, charming, who did not know anything and needs ... maybe it will begin to play dramatic roles in the movies. In the first film, Dan starred at 23, but the fame came to him, unlike Asta Nielsen, not immediately. At the age of 26, the instruments will take off in the Dancer Dancer as a student in a fourteen-year-old actress from the stray troupe - a girl, doomed to be outcast. Dan turned out to be so touchingly convincing that the suggestions were immediately sprinkled on him and the All-Apricon Love fell.
The emergence of sound films did not damage the career of the heads, he starred until 1950. In 1953, the actor was completely unexpected for everyone moved to Brazil with his wife and children and took up farming there. However, in the new world he flashed in cinema, in the picture "and the world reigned again." The film became the final point in his career. Before his death, at seventy-three years, Dan no longer appeared.
Clara Bow
Back in the childhood Clara fascinated movie. She guarded Mary Pickford and dreamed of becoming the same star. Appearance, however, at Clara pumped up - a silent movie loved brunettes, and Clara was red. And yet, having heard about the contest of photoportines, the main prize in which there was a role in the cinema, she rushed to participate, without hesitation. And really starred in the film! But, alas, this tiny role was cut off when installing. Dosade Clara was no limit. In addition, the mother, having learned about the shooting, rolled the girl scandal: in her eyes the film actresses were akin to prostitutes. Although the mother called "honor", it was already too late: for the year before that Clara raped his own father ... In addition, the mother herself had earned the most real prostitution from time to time; Customers led home, and Clara, so as not to interfere, locked in the closet. No, the cinema and next to all this was not stood!
Clare was lucky, immediately after the second film, the audience and directors were noticed. The main role of Bow became coquettes with difficult character, stubborn, independent, proud and very sexy. By the way, in the first and only mute film, received "Oscar", the main female role was played by Clara.
Unfortunately, Bow was among the actors who did not have managed to show themselves in the sound of a movie, and its glory rolled up long before her thirtieth. At forty-four years, she was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and sixty she died from a heart attack.
Harrison Ford
Incredibly, but at the audience a silent movie was their personal Harrison Ford, and not even worse than our! Very nice. Unfortunately, the first sound film broke his career: Apparently, the voice was much worse than the appearance. Among the roles of Ford - George Osborne from the "Vanity Fair" and Richard Wayne from the May Days. In general, the eternal positive, but not too outstanding articles hero. In the past six years of life spent in the hospital, hitting the machine and having received serious injuries. He died at seventy-three years, in his hands at his wife, with which he lived for 49 years. In general, he and in his life looked like his heroes.
Witold Polonsky
Son of the Polish nobleman, a member of one of the anti-Russian uprisings. After the pardon, this Father, the Polonsky family moved to live in St. Petersburg, and Witold, respectively, entered one of the local gymnasiums - more precisely, in the Tsarskoyel Nikolaevskaya - where his class teacher was Samnsky himself.
Before joining the movie Polonsky managed to make a career in a small theater. In the films, he always appeared in the roles of the Great Heroes-lovers, shoes, Mlow and heartless bastards. But he managed to play only in 18 paintings: in 1919 the actor died, relying on poor-quality products.
Olga Baklanov
But Olga Baklanov experienced a revolution and civil war, and in 1926 he emigrated to the United States and became a Hollywood actress. She has already shot the second film, "a man who laughs" in Hugo - she played Duchess Josyan in him. All 1928, Olga was successfully shot, even in the first sound film - in 1929 - she liked the viewer, despite the emphasis (and maybe thanks to its exotic). But because of the scandalous rupture of the contract with producer Hollywood began to treat her very cool. Olga hardly received roles. The last successful picture for her was the horror movie "Rady", where she played a circus. The picture came out such a provocative that it was banned in a number of states. And only in our time declared one of America's film sedavra.
In 1935, Olga left the movies, but continued to perform in the theater (she played there in parallel with the shooting). In 1947, she left the stage at the insistence of his then husband. And yet, before his death, she managed to know the taste of glory. In the sixties, critics and the viewer remembered the film "Rady", he had a huge success, and the actress gave a number of interviews - with great pleasure! Olga died, having survived to the revered years - at seventy eight.
Konrad Faidt
It is this actor - and the director who gave the green light of Olga Baklanova's career in Hollywood. He himself was actually a German and became known exactly through the German paintings. The expressive face of the actor allowed him to play and ominous-charming Satan, and inspired chopin, and a adventurist of Fogg, and a different nature of the kings of the past. In the US, Faidt arrived at the invitation of a familiar actor, starred in four films and returned to his homeland. In general, in vain, because soon the National Socialists came to power, and Faida, a Jewish husband and a packer, had to run with his family to the UK and receive citizenship there. In 1940, Konrad again went to Hollywood, where he was filmed mainly in the role of Nazi officers: the texture was suitable. The outstand was undoubtedly a fairy tale "Baghdad Thief", where Faidt starred as a sorcerer. The actor died in 1943 during the game of golf - the heart grabbed.
Max Linder
In fact, Linder was a comic, but what stylish and charming! White-standing smile, elegant outfit and ... New word in Kinineomedy: Psychologist of the characters, the search for humor is not in kicks and cakes in the face, but in non-standard situations. Those comedies with Pierre Richarom and Louis de Funes, which we love so, straight continue from Linder films - after all, he, by the way, was French. And, by the way, the participant of the First World War. Unfortunately, it is traumatic memories of the war among the reasons who pushed Max to suicide in 1925 - in forty-two years. Together with him she committed with life and his wife.
Olga Chekhov
Now it is remembered, mainly, due to the fact that, being a nebid bookper (that is, a German), she not only did not have persecuted in the Third Reich, where he lived in the thirties and forties, but also was a favorite Hitler. In 1945, Soviet troops arrested her, she was brought to Moscow on the plane ... and after two months the same, on the aircraft, returned to Berlin. These strange flights caused a popular version now that Olga was a Soviet intelligence agent in Hitler.
Chekhov made his debut in the cinema in Germany, where emigrated after the revolution, in 1921. She became the star of the first echelon only in the 1930s, but in the twenties it was found very beautiful and interesting actress.
Olga died at the age of eighty of two years from brain cancer.
