Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Lana Turner, Tallulah Benkhead, Pauline Godard, Miriam Hopkins, Joan Bennett.
Familiar celebrity names are all on the list, many of them were rivals for Gone with the Wind back then, and now they are on the invitation list, including the list provided by Ingrid Bergman, as well as Hollywood stars who have become famous in recent years.
In addition to Katharine Hepburn's connections, well-known managers and even political figures are all on the invitation list.
Soon the news spread. Vivien Leigh, Katharine Hepburn, and the recently scandal-ridden Ingrid Bergman jointly issued an invitation to hold a charity dinner and invited celebrities to participate in the joint name. It immediately detonated the celebrity scandal.
A circle that makes everyone who thinks they should have a place eagerly awaiting it.
It is true that Ingrid Bergman is currently surrounded by scandals, but this is actually a problem of you poor people who really know how to drive. People who are also working hard in the film and television industry will not care about this kind of thing at all.
This is such a common unspoken rule. Not to mention the red sofa that all actors tacitly understand, many actors are starting out and cannot even qualify for the red sofa, so they have to take the initiative to find a director.
Even if what happened to Ingrid Bergman is true, it is just a mistake that everyone has made.
It’s just the attention of some people who buy tickets and think they are the bread and butter of their parents. What is there to blame about a simple buying and selling transaction?
Ingrid Bergman has attracted a wave of attention, and Katharine Hepburn's qualifications are exciting, but the biggest focus is still on Vivien Leigh. Now everyone knows about the British India, and it has become the focus of discussion for some people.
This colony under the name of the British Empire has also become the focus of many Americans' attention. Public opinion is also deliberately guiding this attention, and combined with social news, it is even more exciting.
Actors are not afraid of being popular, but they are afraid of not being popular. No matter what the popularity is, as long as there is popularity, it is good.
Due to various reasons, this news has just spread and there has already been an enthusiastic response, which Vivien Leigh is looking forward to very much.
"Vivian, you are so concerned about this matter." Katharine Hepburn tilted her head, feeling very strange about this kind of thing.
"I am the honorary president of the British-Indian Actors Guild, and I have just taken up the post." Vivien Leigh said in an evasive manner, "There was a drought just after I took office. I always use my popularity to let everyone do their part in the misery.
People cannot be too unsympathetic..."
Sneeze! Alan Wilson sneezed several times in succession at the Governor's Mansion, looking unhappy and suspicious, feeling the direction of this unfounded wind.
Compared to Ingrid Bergman, who was keen on whitewashing, Vivien Leigh paid more attention to honor. She was born in British India, her father was a wealthy businessman and her mother was an aristocrat, and she had a sense of superiority since she was a child.
Although she was married before becoming an actress, she later became a popular movie star by virtue of her popularity. She was not short of money, she just wanted to be respected.
Ingrid Bergman just wanted to clear her name through charity, while Vivien Leigh wanted to consolidate her status through charity and attract the attention of the government.
In British India, when she saw how Alan Wilson spoke one word and controlled all aspects of British India, she knew that that was the real right, the unfettered right. The spotlight she once pursued,
In the eyes of that man, it was just a burden. Civil servants didn't need publicity at all.
Even if he is more famous than Alan Wilson, who left a classic image by saving women in France, he is definitely worthy of any British person.
The cocktail parties held by the three major movie queens aroused eager anticipation. They must be the top in Hollywood, the kind that many starlets, models, and financial sponsors would have to fight to get in.
A strong Hollywood lineup will bring countless opportunities. This is true for investors, stars and young actors.
For many people, this is a good opportunity to expand their network. The many social interactions at the cocktail party will greatly promote many filming, cooperation, etc. in Hollywood in the next year.
There are often many scripts that are valued in social interactions, many directors are often confirmed to direct movies here, and more stars are often invited to audition for a certain production, with preliminary intentions of cooperation.
Perhaps big stars, big directors and big producers will keep their true intentions under these temptations, but how could those small stars, actors, directors and producers not flock to get such an opportunity?
The fate of many people was changed at this time. Why wouldn't they want to be the lucky ones chosen by fate?
The so-called opportunity to become famous overnight occurs at many receptions, not to mention that this is a charity reception jointly organized by three major movie queens, whether it is Vivien Leigh, Katharine Hepburn, or Ingrid Bergman who is deeply involved in the whirlpool of public opinion.
, are all characters with their own traffic.
Even the entertainment newspapers in Los Angeles used front-page headlines to report on the original intention of this charity dinner, linking it to the current fight against drought in British India.
This is not entertainment news in the general sense, but social news, which is more sensational.
British India is well known to everyone because of the current drought, and because Gandhi's actions have caused a wave of enthusiasm in the United States, he has become a figure that many Americans want to know about.
Vivien Richa arrived in the United States at this time and called for such a charity dinner, which combined with current events detonated public opinion in the United States.
Many media praised Vivien Leigh for completing a magnificent turn in her life. She used to be an angel, but now she has fallen into the mortal world. As for Ingrid Bergman, who was boycotted, she also received some praise.
Some newspapers think that the previous accusations against Ingrid Bergman were too harsh.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With this kind of craze, it is reasonable for the charity dinners of the three major movie queens to be taken seriously. I don’t know how many people have realized their interests in it.
In exchange, I don’t know how many people paid the price to get the tickets.
But these are not important, the banquet kicked off under such a bright and beautiful situation on the surface.
In fact, just the arrival of guests makes people feel that their trip is worthwhile, not to mention that this occasion is a high-risk area for private exchanges. The hotel hosting the reception can definitely provide space for today's male and female guests to have some exchanges.
In-depth communication.
Women in Hollywood have notoriously loose waistbands that always fall down automatically for no reason.
In Europe and the United States, Pamela Mountbatten is already old enough to get married, and in the entertainment industry, it is more open. No one thinks there is anything wrong, and most people may even think that this is the real world.
.
Because she is British, Vivien Leigh is rarely seen as innocent, at least compared to American stars.
The guests also included many stars that Vivien Leigh was already familiar with, such as Bette Davis, who auditioned for Gone with the Wind. Bette Davis's most iconic feature was her enchanting eyes.
In order to praise her eyes, someone specially wrote the song "The Eyes of Bette Davis".
Bette Davis was holding a well-dressed man on her arm. After the man came in, he spoke politely to everyone, as if he was waiting for something. When the guests arrived, Vivien Leigh appeared and first thanked the guests who came here today.
Then the purpose of this charity dinner was introduced.
She said that the incident in British India has been known to the whole world, and now hundreds of millions of people in the subcontinent are suffering from hunger. As a star who was born in British India but has gained wide popularity today, she very much wants to do something for the British at this time.
Do something for India.
"Vivien Leigh, right? Betty, you know, your friend talks differently from other celebrities." The man next to Bette Davis listened to Vivien Leigh talking for a long time, tilted his head and said, "It's very similar.
It's those in the federal government who speak."
"Drake, you're overthinking it." Bette Davis smiled and joked with her recent financial sponsor, "She's British, not us Americans."
"No matter which country you work in, the way you speak is the same." Drake shook his head and said, "Those who work for the government speak differently from ordinary people. Maybe Vivien Leigh was influenced by something when she was in the UK.
maybe."
Among the guests who came in, not all were film-related employees. For example, the company where Drake worked had nothing to do with the film industry, but a company called U.S. Steel.
The company was founded in 1901 through the merger of more than a dozen companies, including Carnegie Steel Company and United Steel Company. To be modest, it accounts for half of the steel industry in the United States.
Derek maintained good patience, and like these Hollywood celebrities, after listening to Vivien Leigh's impassioned speech and the subsequent acts of kindness, he watched curiously. The whole process seemed to be like this, just like these so-called
Hollywood celebrities are like real celebrities...
At the reception stage, Derek brought Bette Davis, who was following suit, to Vivien Leigh, Katharine Hepburn, and Ingrid Bergman, and began to introduce himself and express his concern and good wishes for the situation in British India.
"Betty, who is your best friend?" Ingrid Bergman saw that Bette Davis was a little passive, so she asked.
"I work in a steel company." Derek smiled gently and asked Vivien Leigh curiously, "Miss Vivian has just come from British India. How is the development of the steel industry in British India? Can you tell me?
After a while, maybe there will be an opportunity to work together?"
