Michelle Williams Actress

March 9, 2012 by · Comments Off on Michelle Williams Actress 

Michelle Williams Actress, Michelle Williams has won a Best Actress Golden Globe for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe, and this weekend New Zealand finally gets to see what all the fuss is about.

Williams puts on her best blonde wig, white dress and American accent for My Week With Marilyn, which follows Hollywood’s hottest screen siren during a visit to the UK while filming the 1957 film The Prince and the Showgirl.

The film is about Monroe but the accolades have all been for Williams. The awards – see them all here – say it all and reviews have been stellar, with TimeOut reviewer Francesca Rudkin calling her performance “dazzling”.

“This is no epic biopic but rather a breathy and saucy snapshot into the professional and personal life of Monroe,” Rudkin said.

“Still, the film needed to get Monroe right and Williams nails her with a performance that makes the film seem more substantial than what it really is; a gentle and amusing period piece set in the film industry.”

Famous who died young: Heath Ledger, Heath Andrew Ledger (4 April 1979 – 22 January 2008) was an Australian television and film actor. After performing roles in Australian television and film during the 1990s, Ledger left his homeland for the United States in 1998 to develop his film career. His work encompassed nineteen films, including 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), The Patriot (2000), A Knight’s Tale (2001), Brokeback Mountain (2005), and The Dark Knight (2008). In addition to acting, he produced and directed music videos and aspired to be a film director.

For his portrayal of Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Mountain, Ledger won the 2005 New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actor and the 2006 “Best Actor” award from the Australian Film Institute and was nominated for the 2005 Academy Award for Best Actor as well as the 2006 BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role. Posthumously he shared the 2007 Independent Spirit Robert Altman Award with the rest of the ensemble cast, the director, and the casting director for the film I’m Not There, which was inspired by the life and songs of American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. In the film, Ledger portrayed a fictional actor named Robbie Clark, one of six characters embodying aspects of Dylan’s life and persona. Ledger received numerous accolades for his critically acclaimed portrayal of the Joker in The Dark Knight, including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, a Best Actor International Award at the 2008 Australian Film Institute Awards, for which he became the first actor to win an award posthumously, the 2008 Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Supporting Actor, the 2009 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor and the 2009 BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor.

Ledger died on 22 January 2008, from an accidental “toxic combination of prescription drugs”. A few months before his death, Ledger had finished filming his penultimate performance, as the Joker in The Dark Knight, his death coming during editing of the film and casting a shadow over the subsequent promotion of the $180 million production. At the time of his death, he had completed about half of his work performing the role of Tony in Terry Gilliam’s film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

Anti-family Stickers

March 3, 2012 by · Comments Off on Anti-family Stickers 

Anti-family Stickers, TS-EX- company that produces a range of anti-My Family stickers has defended their controversial car decals depicting a family of four in hangman’s nooses.

The Courier-Mail reports Mark Trueno from the Brisbane-based Street FX said the “F@#! Your Family” stickers had proven to be very popular with his company selling over 10,000, at a cost of about $9 each.

“While the original intention of these stickers was nothing more than a joke, it turned into one of our highest-selling stickers,” said Mr Trueno.

He said he was concerned the My Family stickers, which are made by a Gold Coast company, amounted to a security risk because they advertised how many people and animals reside at a property.

“If we can discourage just a few people every week from putting those stickers on their car, we have potentially saved a family from being robbed, assaulted, a single mother attacked, or a defenceless goldfish stolen from its tank,” said Mr Trueno.

“A few people may be offended in the process, but what is worse in the scheme of things?”

The Courier-Mail reported on Saturday that police had declared the “hangman” stickers to be legal, providing they did not obscure a driver’s view of the road.
