Anthony Hopkins

Regarded by many as one of the greatest living actors, Anthony Hopkins movie career spans decades with roles ranging from Charles Dickens to Adolf Hitler to David Lloyd George to William Bligh in The Bounty, but it was for the role of Dr Hannibal Lecter that he is probably best known . In Silence Of The Lambs he gave one of the great performances of cinematic history and with Jodie Foster as his foil playing Clarice Starling the rookie FBI Agent, the film went on to receive international acclaim and for Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster an Oscar each for best actor and actress.

Anthony Hopkins is one of those great actors whose personal ego disappeares behind the mask of the character he is playing, yet Hopkins considerable charisma oozes through to hold the audience spellbound. I don't think there is another actor I can name with Anthony Hopkins natural, casual delivery of lines and whose eyes can express disinterest to intense passion within a flicker. All actors necessarily have to wear their hearts on their sleeves, they all need to expose a piece of themselves to public scrutiny, but Anthony Hopkins seems to go that extra yard. And then there is the good work he does... Speaking out against Japan's whale slaughter and his support for Greenpeace and his presidency for the preservation of the Snowdonia National Park and on top of everything he still finds time to volunteer acting lessons to drama students in California. The man is simply immense.

The Hollywood Movie History

The greats of the silent movie period included Rudolf Valentino, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel & Hardy and a whole host of stars whose talents live on in the many characters they portrayed. Jean Harlow is perhaps the most successful of the stars who began their career in the silent era and whose star continued in ascendancy into the talkies. The western film genre has been the birth place for many great film stars, not least of which is the Great John Wayne. Blockbuster movies dominated the 80's and 90's with Silvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis competing for the title greatest action hero of them all... and then Matt Damon brought Ludlum's character Jason Bourne to life all too vividly and a whole new action hero was born.
And, although great women's roles are still all to rare, Vivien Leigh's Scarlet O'Hara in Gone With The Wind, Marilyn Monroe's Sugar Kane in Some Like It Hot, Grace Kelly as Tracy Lord in High Society, Michelle Pfeifer in the Baker Boys and Julie Roberts in Erin Brockovich are just a few great and memorable perfomances I have experience by women in the movies...
