Risultati per "Diario" in Intrattenimento e personaggi famosi

Chi accetterebbe mai di ospitare per diciotto anni nel giardino di casa propria una anziana barbona e il furgone debordante di rifiuti che ne costituisce il domicilio? Oltretutto Miss Shepherd non è una vecchina che susciti tenerezza: è grande e grossa, scontrosa, bislacca, poco incline alla gratitudine. Porta una sottana fatta di stracci per la polvere, occhiali da sole verdi e, a mo’ di cappello, un cestino di paglia ottagonale. Si fa scarrozzare per la città su una sedia a rotelle ed emana un insopportabile fetore. Chi mai accetterebbe una così perturbante prossimità?

Uno dei grandi registi del cinema mondiale apre le porte del suo mondo attraverso le pagine ritrovate di un diario accidentale. Un "diario inconsapevole", che si è costruito da solo, negli anni. Pensieri dedicati al lavoro, agli attori e ai registi che hanno attraversato la sua vita di spettatore e di cineasta, ai piccoli e ai grandi eventi che hanno interessato il mondo intero o soltanto la sua vita privata.

All'improvviso, un vecchio baule: bell'inizio, per la storia di un attore. E in effetti il "tesoretto" di lettere e diari di sua madre Gigliola e di sua nonna Titina, ritrovato in una soffitta, si trasforma per Massimo Lopez in un vero e proprio viaggio, non solo nella memoria. Decide infatti di ricostruire tappa per tappa il passato della sua famiglia vagabonda, che girava di città in città seguendo il lavoro del padre. Cosa è rimasto delle case che ricorda?

Io sono Marilyn, sembra dire ogni parola di questo racconto struggente fatto di bellezza extraterrestre e sprecata, di amore infinito e sfinito, della donna più bella mai esistita, della donna più triste mai vissuta. Marilyn è un viaggio tra le lenzuola profumate di un’anima fragile in un corpo da bomba atomica. Marilyn icona, Marilyn desiderata dagli uomini di potere perché ambita e inarrivabile, Marilyn amante e mai moglie, Marilyn puttana e santa, Marilyn sopravvissuta a sua madre. Marilyn, la vita come un sogno a occhi aperti.

Per un artista non è sempre semplice trovare la via per esprimersi e farsi accettare. È un percorso lungo, fatto di "meravigliose cadute e sofferte risalite" - come ama definirle Ghemon - che porta a una profonda conoscenza e accettazione di sé. Lui stesso ha affrontato questa strada, partendo negli anni '80 da una città di provincia, per trovare la sua espressione artistica nel mondo del rap. Passando ore ad ascoltare musica di vario genere, scrivere testi e cantare nei locali, ha costruito la sua carriera un tassello alla volta.

Alan Rickman remains one of the most beloved actors of all time across almost every genre, from his breakout role as Die Hard's villainous Hans Gruber to his heart-wrenching run as Professor Severus Snape, and beyond. But Rickman's artistry wasn't confined to just his performances. Fans of memoirs at large will delight in the intimate experience of Rickman detailing the extraordinary and the ordinary in a way that is 'anecdotal, indiscreet, witty, gossipy and utterly candid'.

To tie in with the release of his first James Bond film, Live and Let Die, Roger Moore agreed to keep a day-by-day diary throughout the film's production which was published just ahead of the premiere in July 1973. From the previous October, when he was unveiled as the new 007, through to his first scenes on location in New Orleans and his final shot in New York, Moore describes his whirlwind journey as cinema's most famous secret agent. Taking in the sights of Jamaica before returning to Pinewood Studios, Moore's razor wit and unique brand of humor is ever present.

Jane Birkin - actor, singer, songwriter and model - attained international fame with her decade-long musical and personal relationship with Serge Gainsbourg that featured their internationally controversial hit song 'Je t'aime...moi no plus'. She has also enjoyed a notable career as a movie actress in Blow-Up, Death on the Nile and Evil Under the Sun. Munkey Diaries re-creates the flamboyant era of Swinging London and Saint-Germain-des-Prés in the 1970s, and lets us into the everyday life of an exceptional woman. 

There's no right way to keep a diary, but if there's an entertaining way, David Sedaris seems to have mastered it. If it's navel-gazing you're after, you've come to the wrong place; ditto treacly self-examination. Rather, his observations turn outward: a fight between two men on a bus, a fight...

1936 was a great year for the movie industry - the financial setbacks of the Great Depression were subsiding, so theater attendance was up. Americans everywhere were watching the stars, and few stars shined as brightly as one of America's most enduring screen favorites, Mary Astor. But Astor's personal story wasn't a happy one. Born poor and widowed at 24, Mary Astor had spent years looking for stability when she met and wed Dr. Franklyn Thorpe.
