#CaterineSpaak

Catherine Spaak (Boulogne-Billancourt, 3 aprile 1945) è un’attrice, cantante, ballerina e conduttrice televisiva belga naturalizzata italiana. È stata una diva cinematografica degli anni sessanta-settanta in Italia e in Francia.

Catherine Spaak proviene da una famiglia belga che annovera fra i suoi membri anche artisti e uomini politici: la madre è l’attrice Claudie Clèves, il padre Charles è uno sceneggiatore cinematografico, la sorella Agnès è stata anch’essa attrice e poi fotografa, mentre lo zio Paul-Henri ha ricoperto per più mandati la carica di primo ministro del Belgio. Dopo aver recitato una piccola parte a soli 14 anni nel film Il buco di Jacques Becker, debutta in Italia nel 1960 con Dolci inganni di Alberto Lattuada che condizionerà i suoi ruoli successivi, incentrati sullo stereotipo di un’adolescente spregiudicata. Lo stesso personaggio, con opportune variazioni, si ritrova in molte pellicole che interpreta nella prima metà degli anni ’60, come Diciottenni al sole, Il sorpasso, La noia, La calda vita, La Parmigiana, La bugiarda e La voglia matta, sul cui set conosce Fabrizio Capucci, che sposerà nel 1963 e dalla cui unione, di breve durata, nasce Sabrina, attrice di teatro.

 

Catherine Spaak, née le 3 avril 1945 à Boulogne-Billancourt (France), est une actrice et chanteuse française, naturalisée italienne. Elle a fait presque toute sa carrière en Italie. La comédie à l’italienne lui permit d’imposer à l’écran, aux côtés des « monstres » satiriques Vittorio Gassman, Ugo Tognazzi ou Nino Manfredi, un personnage d’adolescente moderne et délurée qui marqua l’imaginaire de son époque. Certains de ses films — Les Adolescentes, La calda vita — eurent maille à partir avec la censure démocrate-chrétienne. Elle est la fille du scénariste Charles Spaak et de l’actrice Claudie Perrier, la sœur de la comédienne Agnès Spaak et la nièce du Premier ministre belge Paul-Henri Spaak. Elle fut mariée aux acteurs Fabrizio Capucci (1963-1971) et Johnny Dorelli (1972-1979). En 2007 elle participe à l’émission Ballando con le stelle. Elle sera éliminée lors de la 3e semaine. Au cours de cette saison, Naomi Campbell ou encore Ronn Moss sont venus danser en tant qu’invités. en 2015 elle participe à l’émission de télé-réalité italienne L’isola dei famosi 10. Elle est notamment avec Rocco Siffredi. Au bout d’une journée elle abandonne l’aventure. Un disque du groupe rock The Love Potions paru en 1999 s’intitule Voice of Catherine Spaak.

#SammyDavis jr

– Sammy Davis Jr. (Harlem, 8 dicembre 1925 – Beverly Hills, 16 maggio 1990) è stato un ballerino, cantante, vibrafonista, batterista, attore e comico statunitense.

Sammy Davis Jr. era figlio di due ballerini di Vaudeville, Sammy Davis Sr. e Elvera Sanchez. Il lavoro nel mondo dello spettacolo li teneva lontani da casa per lunghi periodi, così fu la nonna materna ad occuparsi di lui nei suoi primi anni di vita. Quando Sammy Davis Jr. aveva tre anni, i genitori si separarono. Suo padre, che non voleva perdere la custodia del figlio, lo portò in tournée con sé.

 

– Samuel George Davis Jr. (December 8, 1925 – May 16, 1990) was an American singer, dancer, actor and comedian. He was noted for his impressions of actors, musicians and other celebrities. At the age of three, Davis began his career in vaudeville with his father and Will Mastin as the Will Mastin Trio, which toured nationally. After military service, Davis returned to the trio. Davis became an overnight sensation following a nightclub performance at Ciro’s (in West Hollywood) after the 1951 Academy Awards. With the trio, he became a recording artist. In 1954, he lost his left eye in a car accident, and several years later, he converted to Judaism.[1]

Davis’s film career began as a child in 1933. In 1960, he appeared in the Rat Pack film Ocean’s 11. After a starring role on Broadway in Mr Wonderful (1956), he returned to the stage in 1964’s Golden Boy. In 1966 he had his own TV variety show, titled The Sammy Davis Jr. Show. Davis’s career slowed in the late 1960s, but he had a hit record with “The Candy Man” in 1972 and became a star in Las Vegas, earning him the nickname “Mister Show Business”.[2][3]

Davis was a victim of racism throughout his life, particularly during the pre-Civil Rights era, and was a large financial supporter of the Civil Rights Movement. Davis had a complex relationship with the black community, and drew criticism after publicly supporting President Richard Nixon in 1972 (although he later returned to being a Democrat). One day on a golf course with Jack Benny, he was asked what his handicap was. “Handicap?” he asked. “Talk about handicap. I’m a one-eyed Negro Jew.”[4][5] This was to become a signature comment, recounted in his autobiography, and in countless articles.[6]

After reuniting with Sinatra and Dean Martin in 1987, Davis toured with them and Liza Minnelli internationally, before he died of throat cancer in 1990. He died in debt to the Internal Revenue Service,[7] and his estate was the subject of legal battles.[8] Davis was awarded the Spingarn Medal by the NAACP and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award and an Emmy Award for his television performances. He was the recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors in 1987, and in 2001, he was posthumously awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
