Golden oldies top box office hits
Owen Gibson, media correspondent
Tuesday September 6, 2005
The Guardian
Top 10 films of all time, US gross takings adjusted for inflation
1. Gone With the Wind, $1.26bn
2. Star Wars, $1.11bn
3. The Sound of Music, $890m
4. ET, $887m
5. Ten Commandments, $819m
6. Titanic, $802m
7. Jaws, $800m
8. Dr Zhivago, $776m
9. The Exorcist, $691m
10. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, $681m
They don't make them like they used to: Gone with the Wind, the
biggest-grossing movie of all time
Throughout the summer film season, barely a week has gone by without
Hollywood studios trumpeting the smashing of another box office record.
But research has revealed that blockbusters just ain't what they used to be.
Only one film from the past 20 years merits a mention in the top 10
biggest-grossing movies of all time, and the biggest of them all is more
than 60 years old: the 1939 classic Gone with the Wind.
The comparison of the blockbusters was made using figures compiled by Screen
Digest from data supplied by the website Box Office Ginca; but for the first
time, the US box office takings were adjusted to account for inflation.
On that basis just one film from this decade, Shrek 2, makes the top 30.
Star Wars, credited with kickstarting the obsession with summer "event"
movies, was the only other film to exceed $1bn (£542m) in estimated US box
office takings.
Four of the six Star Wars films made the top 20, but only one from the most
recent trilogy crept in, at number 19.
The only film from the past 20 years to make the top 10 was James Cameron's
Titanic, the 3½-hour movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslett that
aped the ambitious scale of earlier Hollywood epics.
The Ten Commandments, released in 1956 and starring Charlton Heston as
Moses, was another surprising addition to the top five, taking more than
$820m in box office receipts at today's prices.
A similar exercise by Channel 4, which relied on totting up total admissions
to UK cinemas rather than the box office takings, revealed on Sunday that
Gone With the Wind was also the most popular film of all time on this side
of the Atlantic.
The Victor Fleming-directed Civil War epic, starring Clark Gable as Rhett
Butler and Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara, was originally marketed with the
tagline "The most magnificent picture ever". It is perhaps most famous for
Butler's final line: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn".
Screen Digest senior analyst David Hancock said that, following the 1930s
golden age, cinemagoing reached its peak in the 1970s and had been in
relative decline ever since as videos and DVDs, combined with increased
leisure options, ate into cinema revenues. However, the money that Hollywood
studios now made from DVD releases and selling television rights more than
made up for any shortfall.
"In the face of sustained and growing competition, cinema has ceded its
predominant revenue position to other media," Mr Hancock said.
"This analysis reflects the changes in the media as much as it reveals the
cyclical nature of film-making."
The top 100 also highlights the ebb and flow of the popularity of various
genres. Animated films, popular from the 1930s to the 1960s during Disney's
heyday, had all but disappeared from the cinema in the 1970s and 1980s
before a resurgence with films such as Toy Story and Finding Nemo. Musicals
peaked in the 1960s and 1970s with Grease, Mary Poppins and My Fair Lady
among those that made the top 100.
Action films dominated in the 1990s, said Mr Hancock, with fantasy the top
genre during this decade thanks to the popularity of the Harry Potter films
and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Horror films, of which The Exorcist was
the most popular, according to the research, have the highest average
revenue.

As I understand it from reading biographies about her, sexual mania
was part of her mental illness.
I'm not sure why the author of this book thinks this is such a
revelation about Vivien Leigh, except of course he can use it as a
sleaze factor to sell his work.

Vivien Liegh High Sex Drive Wrecked Marriage
August 14, 2005, 10:33:18
LEIGH'S HIGH SEX-DRIVE BROKE OLIVIER MARRIAGE.
Late screen siren VIVIEN LEIGH and her former husband SIR LAURENCE OLIVIER
separated because the actress' sexual demands emotionally and physically
drained the WUTHERING HEIGHTS star - according to the pair's previously
unpublished letters.
Author TERRY COLEMAN is publishing a revealing collection of letters in an
authorised biography on Olivier, which will hit stores next September (06).
And the couple's hand-written correspondence describes Olivier's reluctance
to give into Leigh and make love to her three times a day.
The letters also chart the collapse of their 20-year marriage in 1948,
following the sexually-frustrated beauty's subsequent affair with actor
PETER FINCH, during theatre company the Old Vic's tour of Australia.
In one letter, Olivier complains, "With Vivien it's every day, two or three
times. She's wearing me out.".
A friend of Olivier, DEREK GRANGER adds, "Larry was exhausted by Vivien."
Author GARRY O'CONNOR, whose book DARLINGS OF THE GOD looked at the Old Vic
tour, concludes, "Olivier was almost happy to palm Vivien off to Finch."

And let us Rejoice in Clark Gable, the "King of Hollywood" who starred
opposite Vivien Leigh in the Civil War epic GONE WITH THE WIND. Shortly
after his wife Carole Lombard died in a fiery plane crash, an
inconsolable Gable -- in a move some viewed as a "death wish" -- joined
the Army Air Force at the age of 41.
While in the AAF, Gable completed at least one combat mission, was
ordered to produce an Air Force propaganda film in England about aerial
gunners and had a bounty for live capture placed on him by Adolph
Hitler who considered him his favorite actor.
William Clark Gable was born on February 1, MCMI
The Sacred Midpoint between his birth and the birth of Black King Ryan
is
December 22/23, MCMXL
which were the TWIN dates of the Manchester Blitz by the German Air
Force which killed hundreds and destroyed much of the English city.
Rejoice in these TWINed kings!

How Kylie put the corset back in vogue
Jill Armstrong
Take a deep breath girls and see if you can grin and bear it. Yes the corset
is back taking centre stage again, thanks mainly to Kylie Minogue.
She launched her Showgirl world tour at the weekend wearing a
jewel-encrusted John Galliano design with a price tag of £30,000.
It gives the singer, most famous for her shapely bottom, a 16-inch waist.
How she manages to sing while cinched into this show-stopping outfit is
nothing short of a miracle.
But like Vivien Leigh in Gone With the Wind and more recently, Nicole Kidman
in Moulin Rouge, Kylie knows only too well that there's nothing quite as
glamorous, or as sexy, as a corset.
Fashion experts now predict women will realise the effect they can have and
bring the corset back onto the high street.
Designer Vivienne Westwood has been making corsets for years and maintains
that the waist is the sexiest part of a woman's body.
And if you think you haven't got much of a waist, the corset will work
wonders, giving you the kind of curves you never thought you had. If you
are blessed with a curvy, hourglass figure, then a corset or basque will
certainly make the most of your assets.
Every so often the corset comes back into fashion again with stores coming
up with their own versions of designs that big names like Galliano and Jean
Paul Gaultier send down the catwalk. Thanks to Kylie, this looks set to
happen again.
For some people the appeal of this garment has never gone away and it's not
just upmarket lingerie companies such as La Perla and Rigby and Peller who
make them.
The small specialist company, Tortoise, in Leeds, also makes a wide range of
corsets, from denim and linen ones to satin and lace styles.
Their celebrity clients include the voluptuous Jodie Marsh, Susie Amy who
played Chardonnay in Footballers' Wives and even Victoria Beckham.
"Seeing Kylie in one can only be good news for us," said retail and
marketing assistant Hannah Pollard.
"Our corsets fit perfectly. They are glamorous but still comfortable."
They can be bought off the peg or made-to-measure and are in demand for all
kinds of events including weddings, parties and a day at the races.
"You can dress them up for a special occasion or wear them with a pair of
jeans and some heels to go out clubbing," she said.
Perhaps we'll even see some making an appearance when Royal Ascot comes to
York in June.

- Celebrity Gossip
- Her place in movie history secured by her near-legendary, Oscar-winning star turn as the tempestuous Scarlett O'Hara in David O. Selznick's Gone With the Wind (1939), this beautiful English actress contributed a number of memorable performances in movies, nearly all of which have been regrettably overshadowed by her supreme achievement. The convent-educated Leigh made her film debut in a 1934 British film, Things Are Looking Up and toiled in a handful of undistinguished quickies before being cast in Fire Over England (1937) opposite Laurence Olivier, with whom she fell in love almost immediately. They continued their courtship while costarring in 21 Days Together (1938), a middling drama based on a John Galsworthy story. Both married, they kept up their well-publicized romance for several years; finally granted divorces by their respective spouses, they married in 1940.
Having appeared in such British films as Dark Journey, Storm in a Teacup (both 1937) and Sidewalks of London aka St. Martin's Lane (1938, charming as a girl whom Charles Laughton teaches to be a "busker," or street entertainer), Leigh made her first impression on American movie audiences in the British-filmed A Yank at Oxford (1938), which starred MGM matinee idol Robert Taylor. Producer Selznick, then at wit's end after searching futilely for a Scarlett to appear in Gone With the Wind already in production, was introduced to the actress, who had accompanied Olivier to Hollywood (where he was filming Wuthering Heights). He was immediately smitten with her exquisite beauty; the rest was history.
Leigh's success as Scarlett won her the coveted female lead in MGM's moving remake of Waterloo Bridge (1940), a starcrossed romance that reunited her with Robert Taylor. She was paired with Olivier for That Hamilton Woman (1941), a lavish costume drama depicting the scandalous love affair between Britain's Admiral Lord Nelson and Lady Emma Hamilton (it was, reportedly, Winston Churchill's favorite film), before taking a five-year sabbatical from the screen. She returned to play the fabled Egyptian seductress in Caesar and Cleopatra (1946), and took the title role in Anna Karenina (1948), a turgid remake of the Tolstoy classic.
Leigh's riveting performance as the emotionally fragile Blanche du Bois in the 1951 film adaptation of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire won her a second Oscar. But her own emotional travails and precarious health (physically delicate, she was a longtime tuberculosis sufferer) kept her off the screen for years at a time. Her last films were The Deep Blue Sea (1955), The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone (1961), and Ship of Fools (1965)-in all of which, it should be stated, she gave superb performances. Leigh succumbed to tuberculosis, which by the 1960s had faded her beauty. She had divorced Olivier in 1960.

- "Scorpios burn themselves out and eat themselves up and they are careless about themselves - like me. I swing between happiness and misery and I cry easily. I am a mixture of my mother's determination and my father's optimism. I am part prude and part non-conformist and I say what I think and don't dissemble. I am a mixture of French, Irish and Yorkshire, and perhaps that's what it all is."
- "People who are very beautiful make their own laws."
- "Some critics saw fit to say that I was a great actress. I thought that was a foolish, wicked thing to say because it put such an onus and such a responsibility onto me, which I simply wasn't able to carry."
- "It's much easier to make people cry than to make them laugh." Talking to critics about her reviews for "The Mask of Virtue" (1935), her second play on the London stage:

- Vivian Mary Hartley was born on November 5, 1913 in Darjeeling, India a strange place for one of the world's most celebrated actresses to be born. She was to live in this beautiful country for the next six years. Her parents wanted to come back to England but because of The Great War (W.W.I) they opted to stay in India. At the end of the war the Hartley's headed back to their home country where Vivien's mother wanted her daughter to have a convent education. She was one of the youngest in attendance. While there her mother came for a visit and took her to a play on London's legendary West Side. It was there that Vivien decided to become an actress. At the end of her education, she met and married Herbert Leigh in 1932 and together had a child named Suzanne in 1933. Though she enjoyed motherhood, it did not squelch her ambition to be an actress. Her first role in British motion pictures was as Rose Venables in 1935's Village Squire, The (1935). That same year Vivien appeared in Things Are Looking Up (1935), Look Up and Laugh (1935), and Gentlemen's Agreement (1935). In 1938, Vivien went to the US to see her lover Laurence Olivier who was filming Wuthering Heights (1939) (she had left her husband in 1937). While visiting Olivier, Vivien had the good luck to happen upon the Selznick brothers who were filming the burning of Atlanta for the film, Gone with the Wind (1939), based on Margaret Mitchell's novel. The role of Scarlett O'Hara had yet to be cast and she was invited to take part in a screen test for the role. There had already been much talk, in Hollywood, about who was to be cast as Scarlett. There were some big names that had tried out for the part, namely - Norma Shearer, 'Katherine Hepburn' , and Paulette Goddard. In fact, most in the entertainment circles felt that Miss Goddard was a sure bet for the part. However, four days after the screen test, Vivien was informed that she had landed the coveted slot. The rest as they say is history. The film became one of the most celebrated in the annals of cinema. Not only did it win Best Picture during the Academy Awards, but Vivien won for Best Actress. Already she was a household name. In 1940, she made two films, Waterloo Bridge (1940) and 21 Days (1940) though neither approached the magnetism of GWTW. That same year saw Vivien marry Olivier and together appeared in That Hamilton Woman (1941) in 1941.
By the time of the filming of Caesar and Cleopatra (1945), her life began to unravel. Vivien had suffered two miscarriages, tuberculosis, and was diagnosed as a manic depressive. However her public was still enthralled with her. She rebounded nicely for her role as Blanche DuBois for her second Oscar winning performance in Streetcar Named Desire, A (1951) opposite Marlon Brando in 1951. She wasn't heard from much after that. She made a film in 1955 (Deep Blue Sea, The (1955)) and didn't appear again until 1961 in Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone, The (1961).
Vivien's final turn on the silver screen came in Ship of Fools (1965), and that was a small part. Vivien died at the age of 53 after a severe bout of tuberculosis on July 7, 1967.
