'How could they leave this one off'."
There is no doubt that the list and
selection of top actors and actresses
will be controversial. Nominations for
the top actresses include Greta Garbo,
Lucille Ball and Mary Pickford. The
nominations for the actors include
Humphrey Bogart, Sidney Poitier and
Sir Laurence Olivier. At the moment
we know for sure who the top actors
will be but we can be sure that many
people will weep and laugh at the final
list. That is what 'show business' is all
about!
TAPESCRIPT 4
Five gods and goddesses of the early
silver screen.
№ 1
Data: He was known as 'the great
lover'. Originally from Italy, he ap-
peared in several films before 'The
Four Horsement Of The Apocalypse'
made him a superstar in 1921. After
that, he played a series of exotic, ro-
mantic heroes. When he died in 1926
(at the age of 31), several female fans
committed suicide and his funeral was
a national event.
Best-known films: The Four Horse-
men of the Apocalypse, The Sheik,
Blood and Sand, Monsieur Beaucaire,
The Eagle, Son of the Sheik.
Quote: "A man should control his life.
Mine is controlling me".
№ 2
Data: Born in London, he went to
Hollywood in 1910. Four years later
he created 'the little tramp' – his best-
loved character, whose bowler hat,
cane and moustache soon became in-
ternationally famous. He was one of
the silent era's most successful comics,
writers and directors. He left America
in the 1950s and spend his later years
in Switzerland.
Best-known films: The Tramp, Easy
Street, The Gold Rush, City Lights,
Modern Times, The Great Dictator.
№ 3
Real name: Greta Gustafson
Data: Her Hollywood career began in
1925. Beautiful, distant and mysteri-
ous, she became a huge, worldwide
star in the 1930s, usually in tragic,
romantic roles. But she didn't enjoy
living in California and once wrote to
a friend … "Americans don't under-
stand anything about us Europeans".
Her career ended suddenly when she
left Hollywood in 1942 declaring "I
will never act again". She didn't. Until
her death, forty-eight years later, she
lived alone in New York.
Best-known films: Flesh and the
Devil, Anna Christie, Grand Hotel,
Queen Christina, Anna Karenina,
Camille, Ninitchka.
Quote: "I never said I want to be
alone. I only said I want to be let
alone".

№ 4
Data: Known as 'the king of Holly-
wood', he was a top box-office star for
over 30 years. Tough but also roman-
tic, he was popular with both men and
women. In spite of his stardom,
though, Gable didn't take success very
seriously. He once said "I was just a
lucky slob from Ohio who happened
to be in the right place at the right
time".
Best-known films: Red Dust, It Hap-
pened One Night, mutiny On The
Bounty, San Francisco, Gone With the
Wind, The Hucksters, The Misfits.
Quotes: "I'm no actor and I never
have been. What people see on the
screen is me".
"His ears made him look like a taxicab
with both doors open". Howard
Hughes
№ 5
Real name: Ruth Elizabeth Davis
Data: Most actresses in the '30s and
'40s played glamorous and feminine
characters. Not this actress. The
women she played were dominant,
difficult and often quite unpleasant.
Later, she said about herself during
that time …"Nobody knew what I
looked like because I never looked the
same way twice".
Best-known films: Jezebel, Dark Vic-
tory, The Private Lives of Elizabeth
And Essex, The Little Foxes, Now
Voyager, The Corn Is Green, All
About Eve, Whatever Happened To
Baby Jane?, Death On The Nile, The
Whales of August.
Quote: "When I saw my first film-test,
I ran from the projection room
screaming", she said.

GWYNETH PALTROW
Gwyneth was born in Los Angeles
in 1973. She grew up in a family
closely involved with the entertain-
ment business. Her father is a producer
and her mother is an actress. At the
age of 11 she moved to New York,
and was educated at Spence, New
York's most expensive school for girls.
Gwyneth did not always want to be an
actress and for a time she studied His-
tory of Art at the University of Cali-
fornia.
Gwyneth soon decided that college
life was not for her, and began to pur-
sue a career in acting. "Growing up, I
loved Grace Kelly", she says. "She had
so much poise, she was so stylish, she
was a lady. And I loved Vanessa
Redgrave and Julia Roberts. Julia's
performance in Pretty Woman was
inspirational. Seeing a woman behav-
ing with such abandonment, in such a
natural way, it was liberating. Her
performance really made me want to
be an actress".
In 1991 she began her film career
in Shout, a film with John Travolta.
