Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Carrie Fisher, née le 21 octobre 1956 à Beverly Hills, Californie, USA, est une actrice américaine. Elle est la fille de Debbie Reynolds et Eddie Fisher. En 1977, dès son deuxième film, elle crève littéralement l'écran avec tous ses partenaires de Star Wars de George Lucas. Son rôle de Leia Organa, sénatrice impériale qui se rallie à l'Alliance en lutte contre le terrible Empire galactique la propulse au rang de star internationale et l'immortalise à jamais comme ce personnage. Un rôle qu'elle reprend à deux reprises pour L'Empire contre-attaque (1980) et Le Retour du Jedi (1983). Mais, ses problèmes de drogue et d'alcoolisme durant les années 1980 l'obligent à se tenir écartée des plateaux. Elle est tout de même remarquée dans Hannah et ses sœurs (1986), Quand Harry rencontre Sally (1989), Hook ou la Revanche du Capitaine Crochet, Austin Powers (1997), ou encore dans Scream 3 (2000). Carrie Fisher fait ses premiers pas d'actrice au théâtre aux côtés de sa mère Debbie Reynolds. En 1975, elle décroche son premier rôle sur grand écran dans la comédie romantique Shampoo d'Hal Ashby, écrite et interprétée par Warren Beatty. Elle devient célèbre en 1977, alors qu'elle se présente à un double casting : Brian de Palma et George Lucas ont en effet organisé conjointement leurs auditions pour leurs films Carrie et la Guerre des étoiles. Pressentie pour le premier film, Fisher refuse cependant de tourner nue (le rôle échoit finalement à Sissy Spacek) et se précipite sur le rôle de la Princesse Leia, malgré ses cinq kilos en trop. Sa coiffure médiévale encadrant une...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: Defending Your Life is a 1991 romantic comedy/fantasy film about a man who must justify his life-long lack of assertiveness after he dies and arrives in the afterlife. The film was written, directed by, and stars Albert Brooks. It also stars Meryl Streep, Rip Torn and Lee Grant. Shirley MacLaine has a cameo appearance as herself, acting as the holographic host of the "Past Lives Pavilion", a reference to her publicly known belief in reincarnation. The movie was filmed entirely in and around Los Angeles, California. Despite its comedic overtones, Defending Your Life contains elements of drama and allegory. Daniel Miller (Albert Brooks) dies in a car accident on his birthday and is sent to the afterlife. He arrives in Judgment City, a purgatory-like waiting area populated by the recently-deceased of the western half of the United States, where he is to undergo the process of having his life on earth judged. Daniel and the rest of the recently-deceased are offered many Earth-like amenities in the city while they undergo their judgment processes, from all-you-can-eat restaurants (which cause no weight gain) to bowling alleys and comedy clubs. As explained to Daniel, people from Earth use so little of their brains (3-5%) that they spend most of their lives functioning on the basis of their fears. "When you use more than 5% of your brain, you don't want to be on Earth, believe me," explains Bob Diamond (Rip Torn), Daniel's defense attorney. If the Judgement court determines that Daniel has conquered his fears, he will be sent on to the next phase of existence, wh...http://booksllc.net/?id=2304640 ... Read more
