Frases de Luise Rainer

Luise Rainer foi uma atriz teuto-américo-britânica, vencedora de dois prêmios Oscar, na categoria Melhor atriz, por suas performances em Ziegfeld, o criador de estrelas e Terra dos deuses . Em 1999 ela foi nomeada uma das 500 grandes lendas do cinema pelo American Film Institute.Nascida na Alemanha, passou parte de sua infância e juventude em Viena, na Áustria, o que justifica o fato de, quando nos anos de seu apogeu, ter ficado conhecida como "The Viennese Teardrop" , especialmente em razão de sua intensa habilidade dramática. Prevista a virar uma "nova Greta Garbo", Rainer tornou-se a primeira atriz a vencer dois Oscars e a primeira também a tê-los ganho em anos consecutivos, além de ter sido a atriz que mais viveu após ter sido premiada pela Academia de Artes e Ciências Cinematográficas com um Oscar, e também a única alemã a vencer o prêmio.

Ela, no entanto, abandonou Hollywood em pleno auge devido a sua relutância em manter-se numa carreira dominada pelos chefes dos grandes estúdios. Rainer chegou a ser considerada para o papel principal em A dama das camélias , que acabou sendo interpretado por Garbo - de quem logo ela arrebataria o Oscar, tendo sido considerada também para o papel de Scarlett O'Hara em E o vento levou , que coube à Vivien Leigh; além disso, Federico Fellini, que nos anos 1960 esteve interessado em promover um retorno da atriz às telas, escrevera para ela uma cena em A doce vida que acabou nunca sendo filmada.Embora naturalizada cidadã dos Estados Unidos, Rainer passou a viver entre o Reino Unido e a Suíça a partir de meados dos anos 1940. Em 1989 fixou-se definitivamente na Inglaterra, na cidade de Londres, capital do Reino Unido, lá permanecendo até o dia de sua morte, em 30 de dezembro de 2014, aos 104 anos, em decorrência de uma pneumonia. Por sua contribuição à indústria do cinema, ela recebeu uma estrela na Calçada da Fama, que encontra-se localizada no número 6300 da Hollywood Boulevard. Wikipedia

Luise Rainer: Frases em inglês

“I was never proud of anything. I just did it like everything else. To do a film - let me explain to you - it's like having a baby. You labor, you labor, you labor, and then you have it. And then it grows up and it grows away from you. But to be proud of giving birth to a baby? Proud? No, every cow can do that.”

Spartacus Schoolnet biography http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USArainer.htm

“I had a wonderful director, Sidney Franklin …. I worked from inside out. It's not for me, putting on a face, or putting on makeup, or making masquerade. It has to come from inside out. I knew what I wanted to do and he let me do it. Hollywood was a very strange place. To me, it was like a huge hotel with a huge door, one of those rotunda doors. On one side people went in, heads high, and very soon they came out on the other side, heads hanging.”

“I'll tell you a wonderful story. Coming with all of these ideas that I had, and still have, and still feel because I never change and still believe in the same things. Soon after I was there in Hollywood, for some reason I was at a lun­cheon with Robert Taylor sitting next to me, and I asked him, ‘Now, what are your ideas or what do you want to do,' and his answer was that he wanted to have 10 good suits to wear, elegant suits of all kinds, that was his idea. I practically fell under the table.”

Of the bombing of Kosovo

“On Christmas night, I danced with all kinds of fellows with pimples and all kinds of sores. I suddenly felt, ‘What is this being shy? I have to give myself, I just felt I didn't want to be shy, I didn't want to draw away, but give myself, I mean, not physically, but be there. It was a great lesson also for me, this tour through Africa and Italy during the war.”

Louis B. Mayer
About, Spartacus Schoolnet biography

“Most observers agree that Rainer won her Oscar as the result of her moving and poignant performance in just one, single scene in the picture, the famous telephone scene in which the broken-hearted Held congratulates Ziegfeld over the telephone on his upcoming marriage to Billie Burke while trying to retain her composure and her dignity. During the scene, the camera is entirely focused on Rainer, and she delivers a tour-de-force performance. Seventy years later, it remains one of the most famous scenes in movie history.”
