My Favourite Actors
My favourite actors are Mel
Gibson and Whoopi Goldberg. Whoopi Goldberg came a long way to her present
international success. Her mother was divorced and poor. Whoopi chose a very
difficult career for a black woman. She started as a theatre actress and did
very well.
In the end she had a show on
Broadway. Film producers saw her show and a new career in cinema began. She
almost got an "Oskar" in Steven Spielberg's film. Whoopi can be a
very serious actress. But she can be very funny too.
Mel Gibson, one of eleven children,
was born in New York. But his family moved to Australia when he was twelve. He
is a traditional Hollywood man of action in some ways; he is strong and
handsome with bright blue eyes. But in his films he can be funny and shy like a
little boy.
Gibson became famous in the
"Mad Max" film, made by the Australian director George Miller. Max
lives in a desert after a nuclear war. People drive incrediable cars and
lorries and wear strange clothes. It is a fantastic mix of past and future.
Mel Gibson is now also a film
director. His first film as director was "The Man without a Face".
