THE 56 MOST BELOVED & POPULAR ACTRESSES OF WORLD CINEMA !  (OFFICIAL LIST-BASED ON INDIES SUBCONSCIOUS ASSESSMENT OF MOST CONSISTENTLY HIGHLY POPULAR ACTRESSES & BLOCKBUSTER FILMS OF WORLD CINEMA, INCL DATA FROM VARIOUS INDIES FILM LISTS & ALL OTHERS!)
Note: The point system used, to give audiences an idea of the magnitude of comparative popularities of listed actors, includes 2 factors:
1. A calculated AVERAGE of no. of tkts sold PER FILM in lead (80% weightage) & 2. No. of films released in lead (20% weightage)
(Also, the discrepancies in placements of the few actresses listed in American Popularity charts & World Popularity charts, arise due to the strict average rule adopted in this list, vis a vis the American or Bollywood Popularity ratings where different weightages were given for every 100 films in lead or so. This to minimize the bias from cultural cinema viewing preferences in different countries).

DIE NA-OORLOGSTEATER IN PARYS¹
Tumblr media
In die naoorlogse teaterbeweging in Frankryk sal ek probeer om 'n beweging te identifiseer wat beide dié van die teater en dié van die Franse gees is.
Hiervoor sou dit nie genoeg wees om al die vertonings by te woon wat van 1920 tot 1936 hul stempel op Parys afgedruk het nie, maar ek kan wel sê, ek het deelgeneem aan die intieme lewe van die teater, in sy lyding, in sy terugslae, sy hoop, sy probleme en soms selfs sy triomfe.
Ek het as akteur of regisseur in nie minder nie as tien teaters gewerk: l'Œuvre, l'Atelier, Vieux-Colombier, Comédie des Champs-Élysées, Studio des Champs-Élysées, Théâtre de Grenelle, Théâtre Pigalle, die Théâtre de l 'Laan, die Théâtre des Folies-Wagram.
Ek het al die belangrike persoonlikhede van die teater persoonlik en intiem geken en saam met hulle gewerk: Lugné-Poe, Silvain, Charles Dullin, Jacques Copeau, Louis Jouvet, Georges en Ludmilla Pitoëff, Suzanne Desprès, Gaston Baty, Valentine Tessier, Génica Athanasiou, Roger Karl, Falconetti.
Ek het die tydperk van volwassenheid van die Théatre de l'Œuvre, voor Lugné-Poe vertrek, en dag gesien
dag na dag het ek die eerste avonture beleef van die ontluikende Atelier, wat vir drie jaar voortdurend die
ramp, tot die dag toe hy uiteindelik homself kon afdwing.
Ek wil nie hier 'n eenvoudige lys van akteurs gee nie, 'n inerte palmarès, maar die lewe en asemhaling van die teater
in Frankryk wat net 'n paar maande gelede 'n geheimsinnige verskynsel veroorsaak het. In Parys, in 1920, terwyl die Vieux-Colombier sy deure heropen het, het 'n paar groot akteurs oor die
toneel van die Comédie-Française: Silvain, De Max, Paul Mounet, ens. In die avant-garde teaters het mense lekker gelag deur die tics van die groot akteurs na te boots: deur Paul Mounet, die sonore
keelstem, daardie groot, swaar Cerberus- en aardbewingstem, en sy passiewe, meganiese styl. Die uitdrukking op die mond en ander eienaardighede van De Max was vervals, soos daardie spesifieke manier wat hy gehad het om homself op 'n bestudeerde manier te draai en reg te maak; en hy het homself bevestig: «Hier is presies wat nie gedoen moet word nie
Doen".
Maar na my mening, ten spyte van hul swakhede, was hierdie akteurs die laaste wat die heldhaftige tradisie van die teater gehad het. En toe hulle dood is, kan gesê word dat geen tragedie weer in Parys opgevoer is nie. Silvain het 'n vreemde manier gehad om sy arms oor mekaar te kruis, op die vlak van die solar plexus; hy het ook die gewoonte gehad om sekere lettergrepe met 'n hou op die bors te aksentueer.
De Max, sonder om die betekenis van sy gebaar te ken, het sy sonoog met die punt van sy wysvinger terg, met sy wysvinger probeer om die oorlewing van die derde oog te herontdek en die plek van wat, in Indiese metafisika, is noem die pineaalklier. In al hierdie oordrewe gebare van die akteurs is daar die instinktiewe oorlewing van 'n magie wie se
diegene wat oefen weet nie meer wat dit beteken nie, en diegene wat daarvoor lag, lag sonder om te weet hoekom. En ek sou ook sê
dat, as hulle op daardie oomblik kon weet wat in hulle lag, hulle bang sou wees vir hulself.
Dit is daar waar 'n mens die rede kan vind vir die beweging van godsdienstige terreur wat die skare by die Paryse Koloniale Uitstalling in 19312 aangegryp het, toe hulle die akteur van die Balinese Teater na hulle kon sien opruk en,
nadat jy drie of vier treë geneem het en 'n nuuskierige opwaartse beweging van die heupe gemaak het, raak die derde oog op die kop aan.
Toe De Max aan sy kop raak, was dit nodig om te vertaal:
Ek dink dit met my donker kop. Ek soek in my gekwelde kop na die verlore plek van gedagte.
Maar wanneer die akteur van die Balinese Teater aan sy kop raak, is dit nodig om te vertaal:
Ek is bewus van 'n verlore oog; Ek wys na die verlore plek van 'n oog in die kop van kriminele mensdom. Ek doen 'n beroep op daardie wetenskap wat mans verloor het aan die begin van die Swart Era. Dit wil sê sestig eeue gelede. Want, soos ons weet, het die Black Age, vir die Hindoes, 3120 jaar voor Christus begin.
Hier, wanneer ons in hom deurdring, wat ware teater vir ons kan voorstel.
In Duitsland word ’n artistieke opvoering uitgevind; in Rusland, die opvoering van die massas; maar in Frankryk, een van die seldsame lande in die wêreld waar dit selfs uit niks moontlik is om met iets vorendag te kom, in Frankryk was dit moontlik, amper sonder middele, om die geheime lewe van die teater te herontdek, net soos Arthur Rimbaud was in staat om die geheime lewe van die poësie te herontdek ...
Maar ek keer terug na die alchemie van die teater in Frankryk, na sy nuwe na-oorlogse debute, daardie oomblik toe, in Parys, die lewe ontwaak het.
Dit was Lugné-Poe wat Jarry, Strindberg en Ibsen aan die Franse onthul het, wat die Krediteure, Hedda Gabler, Spectres, A Doll's House ens. na die verhoog gebring het, in die klein privaat kamer van die Cité Moncey, by 55 rue de Clichy , in Parys.
Die Œuvre is 'n "geslote" teater. Slegs intekenare het toegang daartoe. Ek gaan soontoe om een ​​by te woon
verteenwoordiging, sonder dat ek eers ingeteken het, ontmoet ek Lugné-Poe wat my nooi om
kom in sonder om te betaal en hy bied my aan om in sy teater te werk. Dieselfde jaar het ek my debuut gemaak as
administrateur, nutsman, prompt, akteur en ekstra.
Ek het Jean Sarment se waarnemende debuut in Specters from the wings gekyk. Hedda Gabler, 'n Poppekas, ens., en, op dieselfde toneel, die volgende jaar, tot Lugné-Poe se verstommende skepping in Crommelynck se Manjifieke Cuckold.
Lugné-Poe het in hierdie rol 'n onvergeetlike tipe intellektuele boef geskep, wat 'n Bruegeliaanse komposisie op die Franse verhoog bekend stel, met 'n soort knorstem asof in 'n fantoom, en kaskenades van lag, gevolg deur kaskenades van uitdrukkings wat van kop tot tone gerol het. voete.
As akteur was Lugné-Poe dikwels ongelyk, dramatiese vertolking het hom verveel. Hy tree met minagting vir die gehoor op. Maar as hy sy deel betree, lag die hele vertrek tot hees. Hy is 'n volledige akteur, van kop tot tone. Sy verrassende veranderinge in stem, sy vingers wat na punte draai, sy ontstoke blikke laat ’n mens vir oomblikke dink aan ’n nou verlore teatertradisie. Dit blyk dat ons in die teenwoordigheid van 'n akteur uit die Franse Middeleeuse Mysteries is.
Tog is dit aan ’n heel ander kant van die teater, sonder gebare, met net haar stem, ’n silwerige snikkende stem wat Suzanne Desprès in d'Annunzio se roerende werk huil oor haar afgekapte hande³.
Omstreeks dieselfde 1920 het Durec, wat 'n tyd later gesterf het, in 'n Yslandse toneelstuk vertolk: Die begeerte van Sigurjónsson, die rol van 'n towenaar gevangene van sy towerspreuke, terwyl hy glo dat hy die geheim besit. Ek kan nie onthou dat ek so 'n besetene stem in enige teater gehoor het nie, totdat ek die dag, in die Dibbuk, Marguerite Jamois letterlik hoor huil het, haar siel agternajaag.
1920 is die jaar waarin Jacques Copeau, by die Vieux-Colombier, die eenparige skool na die toneel bring, wat ook 'n skool van naturalisme en eenvoud is. Eensgesindheid is 'n populisme avant la lettre, maar a

  Gabin returns as Maigret, this time in a nostalgic vein. The countess of St. Fiacre (Valentine Tessier) has received a death threats stating she will die on Ash Wednesday. She calls upon Maigret to return to the village where he grew up and help her with the case. Maigret had a crush on the Countess as a young boy, and the Countess, a warm-hearted woman, enjoyed being the object of it. Maigret ´s father had once managed the Chateau where he will now be a guest and indeed he´s got the Countess to thank for his education. There´s a real fondness and complicity on the ride from the train station to the Chateau between the characters and indeed the actors playing them. It´s lovely.
Tumblr media
The gathering of the suspects à la Poirot
The Countess dies as advertised, in Church, and during Mass no less. But who did it and how? There are lots of suspects: Lucien Sabatier ( Robert Hirsch), a young secretary and confidante gave her an injection the night previous and he´s been trying to buy a flat in order to get married and needs money, the young Count (Michel Auclair) has been buying yachts and horses in Paris with money he doesn´t have and he´s being chased for writing false checks; the village Doctor (Paul Frankeur) hasn´t been taking very good care of her. Many people have their reasons. At the end Maigret does a Poirot, gathers all the suspects for dinner at the Chateau, and reveals who the culprit is.
A slight but very satisfying film, well if unexcitingly directed by Delannoy. Much of the beginning is infused with nostalgia. We get a lovely feel for village life and how it´s changed. Structurally this is developed through a homology between the altar boy and Maigret who used to fulfil the same function in the same place when young. This is also developed by Maigret recognising all the villagers he once new and who tend to recognise him only once they clock his blue eyes. The screenplay is very tightly structured so for example his visit to the Caretaker who has replaced his father in post takes place almost exactly half-way through the film. He also learns that the education of this caretaker´s son has been provided by the Countess, just as she had done for Maigret himself when he was young, and this other homology rhymes and differs with that of the altarboy. We will see that this young bank clerk is no angel. This is a tightly and well-structured film.
It is also a gently paced one, but the pace well seasoned by a sprinkling of suspicion of practically everyone. Everything is seen through corners (see above), passageways, doors, through the corner of one´s eye. Thus the film shows clues as partial whilst making everything suspiciously interesting, particularly when the corpse is still upstairs, and parts of it remain visible in the corner of the shot during questioning.
Tumblr media
Maigret´s eye of course is observant. And Gabin´s eyes are not only blue, but completely transparent. A look, a shrug, a curt coded phrase. He doesn´t say much but he communicates everything. Perhaps Gabin is at his very greatest in these slight genre pieces where it´s his presence alone that warrants reasons for viewing.
Delannoy doesn´t dazzle visually. He tend towards triangular compositions and, with a few exceptions, one of which you can see below, keeps the symbolism largely at bay.
As you can see from the clip below, Delannoy does know how to film dynamically to keep the image interesting. Here Maigret moves through the newspaper printing presses though to the offices. It´s quite a lot of time to devote to the scene in terms of its import to the film as a whole. And it´s clear that Delannoy is merely taking pleasure in showing us the workings of the newspaper. And I´m reproducing it here because it induced nostalgia in me. This is how many people even a village paper employed. Look at all the jobs in soldering, laying out the print, typesetting, printing and distribution. Not so long ago all papers functioned this way, and the larger ones were an industrial marvel to behold.  Ahhh. It´s a minor, well-made film that incites all kinds of nostalgia. Gabin is perfect
  I have written on two other Maigret/ Gabin films here:
-the previous one with Delannoy:
Maigret tend un piège/ Inspector Maigret (Jean Delannoy, France/Italy 1958)
And a later one directed by Gilles Grangier:
Maigret voit rouge (Gilles Grangier, France/Italy, 1963)
José Arroyo
Maigret et l’affaire St. Fiacre (Jean Delannoy, France, 1959) Gabin returns as Maigret, this time in a nostalgic vein. The countess of St. Fiacre (Valentine Tessier) has received a death threats stating she will die on Ash Wednesday.

How I read this much?  I know how much pages I can read during a day.  I have the chance to live alone with my mom so I have a lot of time for myself.  I can read a book a day and during the weekend, I can even read 2 books a day since I don't work on Saturday and Sunday.  Sometimes I get Lucky and I read 3 books a day during the weekend but it dépends of a lot of things.
On April I had two weeks of day off which means a lot of time for reading books.
I gave 3 stars to those books:
- “Dark Lover” by J.R. Ward - “Halfway To The Grave” by Jeaniene Frost - “Breaker” by Harloe Rae - “Fake It ‘Til You Break It” by Meagan Brandy - “Pucked” by Helena Hunting - “El Diablo” by M.

Massery - “Mystérieux” by Amandine Ré - “Always And Forever, Lara Jean” by Jenny Han - “Bully Me: Class Of 2020″ by Shantel Tessier among others
