Charlie Chaplin
Charlie Chaplin, who died in 1977, is considered one of the greatest and funniest actors in the history of the cinema. During his lifetime, he acted in 13 films, and he wrote, directed and acted in 69 other films.
Chaplin was born in London in 1889 and first acted when he was five years old. At the age of eight, he joined a group of child dancers, and at seventeen he set off for the USA with a group of comedy actors. During a second trip to the USA in 1912, and important film director saw Chaplin acting a very funny part in a play. As a result, Chaplin got his first film part in the States.
As early as his second film, Chaplin had developed his own manner of acting, the one that was to become world-famous. He wore a small black hat, very wide trousers , a moustache and carried a stick that he swung in the air as he walked. Even his way of walking down the street and turning a corner could be recognized as his own. In less than three months Chaplin acted in 11 films. After a short while he started directing films himself. During his first year, Chaplin acted in 35 films, many of which, he wrote and directed himself.
Chaplin’s earliest films were silent, because the equipment for adding sound to films had not yet been developed. The development of films with sound became a problem for Chaplin, as he was uncertain about making films with dialogue. Instead, he continued to make films without dialogue, but he added music, which he wrote himself. Two of his greatest films, “City Lights” and “Modern Times” were of this kind.
Chaplin’s later films, however, were not well received. He made only six films between 1940 and 1966 and only the first of these is still popular today. Chaplin lived the last years of his life in Switzerland, where he was buried in 1977. Before he died, he was honored in a number of ways for his contributions to the film industry.

Charlie Chaplin was a comic, a rebel and a humanist. Those three little words are the keys to discovering the man who is still considered to be one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. They are also the keys to appreciating his unique ability to bring tears of laughter to our eyes one minute, and tears of understanding the next.

Dustin Hoffman is one of the most respected and accomplished actors of his generation, changing from role to role. His range is exceptionally broad. Though physically unattractive, Dustin Hoffman burst upon the American cinema in 1967 in The Graduate.
He scored a popular success in 1979 with his most accessible performance and his first Academy Award in Kramer vs. Kramer.
Hoffman won a second Academy Award for his riveting portrayal of an autistic( 专注自我而与现实隔绝的 ) 孤独症患者( 常指儿童 ) savant( 专家 )in Rain Man in 1988. His performance is again notable not only for his physical transformation, but for his absolute unwillingness to become sentimental. Rain Man also suggests a transition point in screen history.

Meryl Streep
Biography for Meryl StreepDate of birth
(location)22 June 1949
Summit, New Jersey, USA
Birth name Mary Louise Streep
Height 5' 6" (1.68 m)
Considered by many movie reviewers to be the greatest living film actress, Meryl Streep has been nominated for the Academy Award an astonishing 13 times, and has won it twice. Born Mary Louise Streep in 1949 in Summit, New Jersey, Meryl's early performing ambitions leaned toward the opera. She became interested in acting while a student at Vassar and upon graduation she enrolled in the Yale School of Drama.
She gave an outstanding performance in her first film role, Julia (1977), and the next year she was nominated for her first Oscar for her role in The Deer Hunter (1978). She went on to win the Academy Award for her performances in Kramer vs. Kramer (1979), and Sophie's Choice (1982) in which she gave a heart wrenching portrayal of an inmate mother in a Nazi death camp.
A perfectionist in her craft and meticulous and painstaking in her preparation for her roles, Meryl turned out a string of highly acclaimed peformances over the next 10 years in great films like Silkwood (1983); Out of Africa (1985); Ironweed (1987); and A Cry in the Dark (1988).
Her career declined slightly in the early 1990s as a result of her inability to find suitable parts, but she shot back to the top in 1995 with her performance as Clint Eastwood's married lover in The Bridges of Madison County (1995) and as the prodigal daughter in Marvin's Room (1996). In 1998 she made her first venture into the area of producing, and was the executive producer for the moving ...First Do No Harm (1997) (TV). A realist when she talks about her future years in film, she remarked that "...no matter what happens, my work will stand..."
Streep seldom appeared in heavy makeup, yet she looked different in each picture-and sounded different, too, going to great pains to master foreign accents and regional dialects. She won a second Oscar, now as Best Actress, for her portrayal of a Polish woman who survives Nazi persecution during World War 2 in Sophie's Choice (1982), and was nominated for her turns in The French Lieutenant's Woman (1981, appearing as both an actress and the Victorian character she plays), Silkwood (1983, her first workingclass character, a doomed factory employee), Out of Africa (1985, as Danish author Karen Blixen), Ironweed (1987, as Jack Nicholson's boozing partner and fellow vagrant), A Cry in the Dark (1988, as an Australian woman accused of murdering her own baby), and Postcards From the Edge (1990, as the weary actress overshadowed by her overbearing mother).
Since then, a more "humanized" Streep has played genteel comedy with Albert Brooks in Defending Your Life (1991) and over-the-top farce opposite Goldie Hawn in Death Becomes Her (1992). In 1994 she tackled her first action film, The River Wild then starred opposite Clint Eastwood in The Bridges of Madison County (1995). Because Meryl Streep can do anything, and do it well, the only question is, what will she do next?
Personal quotations:I have always regarded myself as the pillar of my life.
The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy
. Instant gratification is not soon enough.

Audrey Hepburn
As an international film star, Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993) personified chic, cosmopolitan elegance, but she spent the last decades of her life traveling to the corners of the earth most afflicted by poverty, hunger and disease. she traveled the world as Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Emergency Fund.
Born in Belgium to a Dutch mother and a British father, she grew up in the Netherlands during the German occupation, and her memory of the hunger and deprivation of those years motivated her later efforts as a champion of the world's children.
She received the Best Actress Oscar for her first appearance in an American film, Roman Holiday. After a dazzling career as the star of films such as Sabrina, Breakfast at Tiffany's and My Fair Lady ,and so on
Roman Holiday,a movie does not have the too winding strange plot, has not let the magnificent scene which the human is dazzled, has not made the stunt effect which one praises to the heavens, only then simple black and white
actually because of had a most perfect female with pure beauty--Ann and a most perfect man with affection look--Joe among, but lets us immerse, the feeling time is unable to cancel purely and happy, closely is affecting the innumerable happy young moods.

Kate Winslet is known the world over for her breakthrough performance in the world’s top-grossing movie of all time, Titanic.
Yet, Ms. Winslet had been nominated for an Academy Award prior to this film for her work in the Jane Austen epic Sense and Sensibility. which won Emma Thompson an Academy Award for screenplay adaptation.
And do you know who is the director of this film?He is Li An.
Kate’s success in Titanic might have appeared sudden to some, but it was actually her sixth film. Before stepping onto the set of Titanic Kate had worked with some of the finest directors the filmmaking world had to offer: Peter Jackson, Kenneth Branagh, and Ang Lee.
The second coorperation with good friend—Leonardo. All of us are pleased to see Jack and Rose again.
“Acting is about being real, being honest. ”said by Kate Winslet
Till now Kate has been nominated for six Oscar Awards.
And this time Kate won the “Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture-Drama”at the 2009 Golden Globe Awards .I’m so proud of her. Her winning entries are <The Reader> and <Revolutionary Road>.
Stills: we can easily find her performance are tend to be overhanging, maybe she likes to act as some special roles to challenge herself.
Kate Winslet On Fame “Being a film star is a label and seems
to me not to be about whether you’re a good actor…”
With the time passing by,Kate becomes mature,she doesn’t like to pursuit of fame and fortune,just wanna being a good actress,just wanna show a good performance to the audience.
Kate Winslet On Weight
When Kate acted as Rose in the Titanic, we may easily attracted by her charming eyes, her noble character, though she had a little baby fat at that moment.
The mass media thought Kate was too fat, but she said, “I am so not fat. I’m fit. I am who I am. I’m healthy. I feel so much more comfortable this way. For God’s sake, don’t argue with nature!”
Kate thought she was an imperfect one, but nature is beauty, she could make efforts to improve herself.
On Raising Her Children•Children: Mia Honey Threapleton (2000)Joe Alfie Winslet-Mendes (2003)
Kate loves her family, her plain life. That’s a real Kate. Not only an excellent Big Star ,but also a good mother in the life.
She said “I have an amazing husband who helps with all those things. I’m very lucky.”
She is always on the road to being an great actress, and she made it. I love her attitude to the life, and I hope she will have a better tomorrow.

Anne Hathaway is an American actress. She made her acting debut in the 1999 television series Get Real, but her first prominent role was in Disney's family comedy The Princess Diaries which established her career. She wanted to break the "G-rated" image, and consequently, in 2005 she co-starred in the adult-themed Havoc and Brokeback Mountain, both requiring nude scenes.
Her acting style has been compared to that of Audrey Hepburn and she cites Hepburn as her favorite actress. People magazine named her one of 2001's breakthrough stars and in 2006 she was listed as one of the world’s 50 Most Beautiful People.
In 2008 she earned widespread critical acclaim for her star turn in the film Rachel Getting Married, for which she won numerous awards, including a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress.
Hathaway is involved with various charities. In 2008, she was honored at Elle magazine's "Women in Hollywood" tribute, and has also been honored for her work with The Step Up Women's Network and The Human Rights Campaign.
In early 2007, Hathaway spoke of her experiences with depression during her teenage years, saying that she eventually overcame the disorder without medication. She credited the decline in her stress level to quitting smoking, but had started again in the wake of her stressful summer and the end of her relationship with Raffaello Follieri(a nobbler). She also declared her return to being a vegetarian.
The film which I prefer her most is “The devil wears Prada”, in which she starred as an assistant to a powerful fashion magazine editor portrayed by Meryl Streep.Hathaway said that working on the film made her respect the fashion industry a great deal more than she had previously and she cite Streep as her idol.
