Edie Sedgwick
Edie was a shining star in the 60's, she dazzled people with her style, glamour beauty and wealth.
However, under all this was a very troubled, and tragic girl.
In a rare moment, she step's out from the shade of the underground, and into the sunlight.

In a rare moment, she step's out from the shade of the underground, and into the sunlight.
Edie Sedgwick was a bright social butterfly whose candle of fame burned brightly at both ends. Born into a wealthy White Anglo-Saxon Protestant family of impressive lineage, Edie became a "celebutante" for her beauty, style, wealth and her associations with figures of the 1960s counterculture.
Edie was not conventionally beautiful by any means. However, she pursued a brief modelling career which ended because of her identification on the drug scene.
In 1965 she began her short-lived yet influential relationship with Andy Warhol which saw her in his films. She spent most of her inheritence picking up tab after tab for the "Factory" and argued with Andy because he did not pay her for the film work she did. After her friendship with Andy ended, she sunk deeper into a life of depression, sadness and drugs.
In 1967 she began shooting Ciao! Manhattan - a film that wouldn't be finished due to her hospitalisation on numerous occasions and later tragic and accidental death.

... as Marlene Dietrich
"Glamour is what I sell, it's my stock in trade"
[jedroot.com]
Maria Magdalene Dietrich was born in Berlin-Schöneberg in Germany on December 27, 1901. Nicknamed "Lena" within the family, she contracted her two first names to form the then-unusual name, Marlene, when she was still a teenager. Being very young Marlene also enjoyed music and attended concerts; for instance she played the violin and the piano before starting work as a chorus girl and actress in theatre productions in Berlin and Vienna throughout the 1920's. However, since she didn't seemto be able to set the stage world on fire, Marlene decided to pursue a carreer in films. She made her film debut in 1923 and in 1929, she got the role of "Lola-Lola" in The Blue Angel, which was one of the first European sound films and with that she was given a crack at Hollywood. Many of the movies, in which she played, did not have a strong manuscript but were successful because of Marlene's presence - the movie goers were simply attracted to her!
But unlike her professional celebrity, which was carefully crafted and maintained, Dietrich's personal life was kept out of public view. She married once, to director's assistant Rudolf Sieber and together they had one child. The great love of the actress's life, however, was the French actor and military hero Jean Gabin but during the 1950's, she also had relationships with Edward R. Murrow, Yul Brynner, Frank Sinatra and John F. Kennedy. As for her husband, he had a tragically unstable longterm mistress, Tamara Matul, with whom he lived on a chicken farm in California. In spite of everything else going on, Dietrich and her husband are said to have stayed close.
All in all, Dietrich never integrated into the Hollywood entertainment industry, being always an outsider for mainstream America. Her German accent gave an extra touch to her performance but made her look "foreign" in the eyes of Americans. However, she was considered a fashion icon to the top designers of that time as well as a screen icon whom later stars would follow. She was also known to have quite a provocative appearance. Quotes such as "I started smoking during the war. I have kept it up ever since. It keeps me healthy" contributed to creating that provocative femme fatale image for her and she was frequently called an advert for the tobacco industry, which is hardly surprising considering all the photographs of her face framed in clouds of smoke.
Spending the last 12 years of her life bed-ridden, Marlene died on May 6, 1992 in Paris, France of natural causes at the age of 90, but is still today considered one of the most influential actresses of her time.

... as Marie Antoinette
[livejournal.com]
Maria Antonia Josefa Joanna von Habsburg-Lothringen was born Archduchess of Austria and Princess of Hungary, Bohemi and Tuscany on November 2, 1755 and she was the 15th child of Francis I and Empress Maria Theresa. Due to conserving peace between the countries of Austria and France which had been fighting for a long period of time but were now in the same alliance during the Seven Year's War, it was proposed that the king of France's grandson Louis-Auguste should marry one of Empress Maria Theresa's daughters. And when Maria Antonia's elder sisters died of smallpox, she was next in line to be married to the French prince. In 1770 Marie Antoinette, still a teenager became Queen of France.
But Marie Antoinette was unhappy in her marriage. Louis was homely, awkward and hardly her heart's desire. They didn't share interests, but most importantly their no-sex relationship caused a lot of frustration for Marie Antoinette who was taunted for her inability to produce an heir to the throne. Therefore Marie Antoinette sought escape from her marital frustration and the boredom of court life - she surrounded herself with a dissolute clique. With her young friends, Marie Antoinette threw herself into a life of pleasure and careless extravagance. These included masked balls in Paris, gambling, theatricals and late night promenades in the park. The queen enjoyed her beauty style, but her fashion fame came at a price. The Queen spent lavishly on her dress and adornments. Each year she exceeded her clothing allowance which the King covered. The excessive fashions for high headdresses, plumes and voluminous dresses were subject to public comment, caricature and on occasion ridicule.
She was guillotined at the height of the French Revolution in 1793.
Antoinette went down in history as a shallow, weak, and self-indulgent person. And
Marie Antoinette's life is one that is filled with passion, intrigue, scandal, politics, excessiveness and so on. But still Marie Antoinette was a woman who today inspire people in many ways - let it be art or fashion or more serious, she's admired for her courage and with the sacrifice she lived with, she is still a rolemodel for many people today.

QUERELLE JANSEN AS ELLIOTT SMITH
img
"Robot hand, it's the future! Robot hand, get yourself one now!"
-From Stranger than Parallel, a short film about elliott smith directed steve hafnt. Robot hand is a symbol of big labels and fame that tore you apart.
Elliott Smith was one of the greatest singer-songwriters of our time. To Smith, to Smith, life was "a very beautiful and brutal place, and his songs were that ground in between."
"I can't connect, yeah yeah I know"
Coming of age in Portland, Oregon, Elliott Smith's life was dogged by chronic depression and struggles with addiction. He made a few failed attempts at rehabilitation, and concerned friends staged an intervention after the release of his 1997 LP, Either/Or, the album that took him from a little-known indie rocker with a solo side project (he was still a member of the decidedly more rocking Portland band Heatmiser when his first two albums dropped) to an influential figure of the underground. A second intervention came courtesy of DreamWorks in 2001.
"God don't make no junk but it's plain to see he still made me, he told me so, I'm good to go"
He had spoken frankly about suicide for years, and reportedly had attempted to kill himself in 1997. While living in New York during the Either/Or era, he would tell friends that he periodically walked along the subway tracks.
" everybody cares, everybody understands
yes everybody cares about you
yeah and whether or not you want them to"
"I talked him out of thinking that he wanted to kill himself numerous times when he was in Portland," said Christopher Cooper, head of Cavity Search Records, the label that released Smith's 1994's solo debut, Roman Candle. "I kept telling him that he was a brilliant man, and that life was worth living, and that people loved him."
"your ambition and promise
and your addiction to fame"
Despair plagued Smith through 1998, when he was invited to perform his Oscar-nominated song "Miss Misery," from the film "Good Will Hunting," at the Academy Awards ceremony.
"you once talked to me about love and you painted pictures of
a never-neverland and i could’ve gone to that place
but i didn’t understand"
"He was never comfortable with his fame or with people appreciating what he did," Cooper said. "Even when he was on television in front of a billion people at the Oscars, you could almost hear him shaking."
"xo, mom
it’s ok, it’s alright, nothing’s wrong
tell mr. man with impossible plans to just leave me alone"

Isabeli Fontana as Anne Frank
Hfgl.com
Anne Frank was a German born jewish girl who lived in The Netherlands during the second world war ( 1939 - 1945). Fearing prosecution in their native Germany Anne Frank' s family decided to move to Amsterdam but were trapped as the Nazi invasion extended into the Netherlands. As they were fearful of getting prosecuted and killed Anne' s family decided to hide out. The family went into hiding on July 1942 in hidden rooms in her father Otto Frank's office building. They lived in intense fear for a long time thinking that at any moment the vicious nazi' s would get to them. Therefore only a select few knew about where they were, they were people who they trusted. After two years in hiding, the family was betrayed and transported to the concentration camp system where Anne died of typhus in Bergen-Belsen within days of her sister.
What made Anne Frank famous was the diary she kept during the two years she spent in hiding. She was a gifted writer who expressed her thoughts of living in constant fear. It also provided an insightful examination of how it really is to live under occupation and without any form of freedom. Her diary accounts were published in many languages. There have also been various plays and television films made based on her experiences.
The picture I chose for Isabeli I think captures a fearful moment in Anne's days of hiding out. As only a few people knew about where they were hiding out and occassionly paid a visit, a knock on the door was a frightening moment in which silence fell and time seemed to have stopped.
