Mary Astor

In 1924, she and John Barrymore co-starred in "Pretty Blommel". Since then it has become popular and has been popular until the 1940s. During this time, the dramatic private life made her feel uneasy and almost disappeared. Astor’s first husband was director Kenneth Hawks (Howard Hawks’s younger brother), who died in a plane crash in 1930 while filming on location. The second husband is a physicist. When she divorced him in 1936, she fought over the custody of her daughter. Her diary was taken to court, and she had a lot of privacy—for example, when she married John Barrymore and Hollywood screenwriters The tryst and fornication of George Kaufman and others-Yu Quan let the public know that Astor became annoyed with alcohol and even tried to commit suicide.

Later, she finally got rid of it and concentrated on filming. This actor is indeed very handsome, with a unique temperament of classical beauty, and the role she portrays on the screen is nothing more than a charming, elegant, and sometimes slutty woman. But in 1941, she made two good films one after another. One is "The Eagle of Malta", which describes a case of fighting for a priceless statuette in the form of a thriller. Astor plays a greedy and despicable woman. She killed the private investigator’s assistant but said no. After being exposed, he hypocritically asked the detective for help. The other is "The Great Lie" (The Great Lie), which describes the love entanglement between two women and one man. Astor plays a grumpy lover. From an artistic point of view, the former role was more successful than the latter, but it was the latter that made Astor win the Oscar for best supporting actress.

After entering the 1950s, the awardee rarely made movies, but instead took time to write: he wrote several novels and a memoir "My Story and My Film Career". After filming "Lovely Charlotte" in 1965, he died forever.

Naturally beautiful, with superb acting skills, if it weren't for many life scandals, she would probably be promoted from a character actor to a big star. However, she failed to fulfill her long-cherished wish and had a bleak old age.
