愛能耐?有多少


William Holden—To Live Like A Human BeingWILLIAM HOLDEN'S SANTA MONICA PENTHOUSE by Kaya Morgan 住宅 死亡之處

Selected by Esquire magazine in 1995 as one of the "100 Sexiest Stars" in film history, and nicknamed Hollywood's Golden Boy, William Holden illuminated the silver screen in 70 films for more than three decades. This adored, leading man starred in some of the most revered classics of all time including Love Is a Many Splendored Thing, Sunset Boulevard, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Casino Royale, The Wild Bunch and The Towering Inferno.

Born in the rural farming community of O'Fallon, Illinois, this son of a well-to-do family moved to Pasadena, California at age three. Strongly influenced by his father, an industrial chemist, Holden attended Pasadena Junior College with his sights set on following in his footsteps until he was accidentally discovered in a school play by a Paramount representative. He then beat the odds by landing a starring role in Golden Boy, the film that made him an instant success.

Viewed by fans as the boy-next-door, this 20-year old, handsome young actor with striking features and a sensual voice had an image that earned Holden entry into an elite group of promising young actors known as the Golden Circle — a group aggressively promoted by the studio that also included Susan Hayward and Robert Preston.

After joining the Air Force in World War II and achieving the rank of lieutenant, Holden returned to the screen working in a variety of comedies, dramas, thrillers and Westerns, all with equal box office appeal. He received an Academy Award for his portrayal a prisoner-of-war suspected of being a Nazi spy in Billy Wilder's Stalag 17 and won an Emmy Award for his television debut in The Blue Knight.

Although Holden was clearly one of Hollywood's most popular leading men in films that were the top money grossers of their day, and was considered the top box office draw in 1956, he also became an unwitting victim of the studio system. His long-term contract was shared by Columbia and Paramount, being both underpaid and forced into low-budget films unworthy of his exceptional talent. Finally, in the late '50s he negotiated a ground-breaking contract with Columbia to star in The Bridge on the River Kwai, allowing him to become a part-owner in the film. His earnings on this Hollywood blockbuster not only set the standards for a new era of negotiations between the studios and actors, but also allowed him to be much more selective in his future film work.

Holden loved to travel and accepted some film roles simply because of the exotic locations alone. While visiting Africa, he developed an avid interest in wildlife preservation, purchasing a 2,000-acre ranch with the goal of creating a protected animal reserve. In 1980, he retreated to this wildlife preserve, returning to Hollywood only briefly to star in his final film, Blake Edwards's S.O.B. As the best man at Ronald Reagan's wedding, his star power never dimmed. He was also romantically linked to costars Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Stefanie Powers, who after his death, established the William Holden Wildlife Fund supporting wildlife preservation in Kenya, thus realizing his dream.

In another unusual strategy for actors of the day, Holden also invested his wealth into an apartment building in Santa Monica, choosing to make the penthouse his home. This combined his commercial investment with the added advantage of a personal residence, creating a two-fold financial asset.

The 14-story building, now known as OceanAire, was originally designed in 1962 by the trend-setting, California contemporary architect, A. Quincy Jones and is still considered to be one of the most structurally unique buildings on the ocean view block. As a professor of architecture at the University of Southern California, Jones gained recognition in the postwar era by focusing on the spatial diversity and development of flexible structural systems aimed at the integration of mechanical systems in contrast to the usual static box-style designs of the time.

OceanAire is located just steps from the beach not far from the Santa Monica pier and famed Third Street Promenade in the heart of the city. This prestigious high-rise is a sought-after address and home to a number of bicoastal celebrities and Hollywood executives because it epitomizes contemporary living in a chic seaside environment. Still considered one of the most architecturally cutting-edge buildings in Santa Monica, this spacious masterpiece exudes luxury and tranquility.

In 2001, a major renovation was undertaken with the goal of expanding on the work that Jones didn't have the funds or materials to complete — complimenting the avant-garde design yet working within the constraints of the building. The two firms that worked hand-in-hand on the renovation were aARts ARchitecture from Santa Monica and the Pardee Construction Company of San Diego, both of which are highly respected firms in the building industry. Consistent with Jones' original vision, newer technology was employed that was not available in his day, bringing the building up to its present, one-of-a-kind, luxury condominium status.

The entrance lobby of OceanAire underwent a complete transformation, creating a 6,000-square-foot, Zen-inspired garden of imported granite and sandstone complete with bubbling fountains and lush landscaping. In contrast to the floor-to-ceiling glass walls is a magnificent teak and maple flooring with rare Macauba stone streaming throughout, accented by stainless steel, creating a subtle blend of complimentary textures and capturing a feeling of utter tranquility.

The Penthouse, a spacious 11,000 square feet, is perched high above Ocean Avenue affording panoramic views of the ocean, city and mountains. The restricted access elevator opens to a marble and wood entry beckoning you into the Grand Salon with a 180-degree ocean view, cozy granite fireplace and filtered light playfully dancing through a domed skylight.

The 8,874 square feet of living space includes five bedrooms — two are master suites, one with a sitting room. Of the seven full baths, the master suite has a spa bathroom with Jacuzzi, sauna and his and her separate showers. The gourmet kitchen is a cook's delight with black granite countertops, Poggerpohl cabinetry, Gaggenau appliances and a Sub-Zero refrigerator, full-size freezer and wine cooler.

To provide an affluent owner with every conceivable amenity, there is a high-tech media room with large pull-down screen, library built of Birdseye Maple bookcases and staff quarters with private bath. The rooftop deck of 1,497 square feet of outdoor living space has an octagonal Jacuzzi, mini bar, limestone wraparound balcony with rare 100-year-old, re-milled redwood decking and benches that surround the Grand Salon skylight. Additional building amenities offer 24-hour security, business conference center, fitness center with sauna and underground parking.

Today, it is not possible to create a building that could duplicate OceanAire, making it the most prestigious and luxurious address in Santa Monica. The OceanAire Penthouse is now available for $10.8 million.

The Ocean Aire, built in 1963 by world-renowned architect A. Quincy Jones, was once the home of actor William Holden, who invested in its construction and tailored the 11,000-square-foot penthouse as his own residence. The Ocean Aire was fully renovated in 2001. The renovation, while maintaining the architect's vision and the building's extraordinary design, introduced technology and improvements to make it even more desirable to today's discerning condominium buyers. With 12 residential floors and only 48 units, this is a contemporary masterpiece, designed to capture light, views and to epitomize the sophisticated beach lifestyle. The security complex offers concierge services, a business conference center, a fitness facility with sauna, a tranquil garden of granite and sandstone with lush landscaping and fountains, plus a lobby that combines rare woods and stone in an atmosphere of pure elegance.



The William Holden Estate


虚空的虚空、虚空的虚空.凡事都是虚空。
人一切的劳碌、就是他在日光之下的劳碌、有甚麽益处呢。
一代过去、一代又来.地却永远长存。
已过的世代、无人记念、将来的世代、後来的人也不记念。

愛能耐有多少

西洋瓊瑤片中男主角 最後仍********天字----二人為天---------------

姓名:William Holden



译名:威廉·霍尔登、
出生:1918年4月17日,生于美国伊利诺斯州O'Fallon

  离世:1981年11月16日,死于美国加州圣莫尼卡

他生前的意愿,他的遗体被火化,骨灰投进了太平洋


 這是一個孤獨男人的寓所。床邊留下一灘血蹟,被套浴著鮮血。空氣中瀰漫著腐尸臭味。

一個年輕的探員捂著嘴鼻,說「中人欲嘔。己死去幾天了吧?」探長說「沒有打鬥掙扎的痕蹟。不是兇殺案。」

警探各忙著拍照,收集證物、指紋、血液樣本,連床邊滲滿了血的廢紙巾也不放過。

探長若有所思,說「他曾企圖用紙巾按額角傷口止血。但是血如泉湧,他不久便陷入昏迷。」

「他為甚麼受傷?」

「他為甚麼不打電話求救?」一百個問號在大家心裡盤旋。

一個探員從廢紙簍中拾起一個空酒瓶,謹慎地放進塑膠袋內。再撿起腳前另一個酒瓶,說「這兒還剩下半瓶伏爾加。」

何頓是一個非常漂亮活潑的小孩。他的父母是虔誠的基督徒。何頓自幼上主日學,參加詩歌班,在家裡幫忙父母做家務,照顧兩個弟弟。他不大喜歡唸書,但他是個正當人家的好孩子。一直到大學時代,他還上教會,參加詩歌班。

大學二年級那年,一個星探給他一張名片,說:「明天到片場找我。你是作演員的料子。」

何頓從來沒想過做職業演員。他的父親是化學師,有一間化學工廠。父母都希望他子承父業。

但何頓不喜歡唸書。他喜歡新奇的事物,對甚麼都感興趣,都想嘗試。他不是想做職業演員,他只想到片場逛逛。他去片場裡見識見識,試讀兩段台詞,結果簽了合約。

他對父母說:「不相干的,我隨時可以回學校唸書。給我一年時間,如果闖不出名堂,我再回學校唸書不遲。」

就在這一年裡,何頓因為長得俊秀英挺,得了一個擔當男主角的機會。與大明星配戲,他很緊張。為了克服怯場,他喝一點酒。果然揍效,酒精使他壯膽,釋放情感。以後每吹拍戲,他總先喝點酒。

他沒有一夜成名。可是片場裡有很多新奇的事物,足夠把他牽住。他不想回學校唸書了。

母親說:「影圈裡的道德標準,跟我們的完全不同。」

何頓說:「媽,他們不是那麼壞的。這是圈外人不了解,才有的誤會。他們不是所多瑪和俄摩拉。」

他沒有告訴母親,片場裡有許多漂亮的女孩,幾乎個個隨便,甚至主動和人上床。他覺得很新奇,很刺激好玩。從前他認識的女孩都太保守了!他感覺現在眼界大開,一下子知識和經驗都豐富了。



何頓要結婚了。母親說:「聽說她離過婚,而且帶著個女兒?」

何頓支吾以對。

母親又說:「婚姻是一輩子的事。我和你爸廝守終生,苦樂與共。太隨便離婚的女孩,恐怕很難與你同甘共苦,白頭到老,克服現實生活困難。我和你爸都希望你幸福。」

何頓不想將來。他想:一切都太遲了。他已不能自拔。他何嘗不想過找一個沒有歷史包袱的純潔女子為妻。他也年輕,也不想結婚後立刻便當後父。他更希望父母出席婚禮,給他祝福。他有一切正確的思想——可是那女子太漂亮了。他們悄悄地飛往外州結婚,沒有通知家裡一個人。











● ●的遗体被火化,骨灰投进了太平洋



何頓和許多漂亮的女演員配戲。他很投入,戲假情真,辨不出台前幕後。他自小接受庭訓,知道婚姻是一輩子的事。他從來沒有起過離婚的念頭,從來沒存心對太太不忠。他相信他的家人也不會想像他對妻子不忠——他們都只暗示,他的妻子以前離過婚,恐怕有點靠不住。想不到不忠的竟是他。他感到難以接受,但他控制不住自己。他不想叫愛他、關心他的人失望,不想傷害妻子,可是他不能自己。只好在表面上裝成一個正派顧家的好男人。私下裡和女演員們鬼混是他個人的事。這是私人生活。當然紙包不住火,他的妻子好像知道,也好像不知道。也許她習慣戲行裡的逢場作戲,也許她相信他終會回到她的身邊,也許她不想失去他;他的家人隔行如隔山,甚麼都不知道。於是他更明目張膽了。人人都知道他的女友如雲。可他得到的羨慕眼光,比責備的眼光還多。這對他無形中有一種鼓勵作用。他也不是完全沒有內疚,他只是不能自約。他想借酒熄滅心中的不安,於是酒飲得越來越兇。後來良心麻木了,酒色卻已像呼吸一樣,成了本能,欲罷不能。












William Holden eventually divorced his wife and went on to have other relationships (including one with Stefanie Powers, a/k/a Jennifer Hart), but he called Audrey the love of his life. He was so wrecked by working with her again on Paris When it Sizzles ten years after Sabrina that he pretty much spent the whole time intoxicated.

A sad end to their relationship, but the chemistry between Holden and Hepburn in Sabrina is delightful. For me the most enjoyable parts of the movie are their scenes together, beginning when Sabrina returns home from Paris a sophisticated and elegant young lady.



何頓覺得妻子討厭,和她離了婚。酒色如鬼魅一般牢牢的轄制他,也把他變成鬼魅。他被囚在一個肌膚鬆馳、皺紋縱橫的面具和衰老的殘軀中。才認識他的人怎麼也不相信他從前曾被譽為世界上最英俊的男人。誰都不能想像他從前曾上過主日學,參加過詩歌班。美人醇酒掏空了他的快樂,剩下的只是絕望、徹骨的痛苦和孤單。昔日眾多的情人如煙雲逝水。原來「多」還不及「一」!










威廉·霍尔登出生于一个富裕家庭,三岁的时候,他的家搬到了加州的帕萨迪纳,他的父亲是一名工厂药剂师,母亲是一名老师。1973年,还在帕萨迪纳专科学校攻读化学专业的威廉就已经和派拉蒙公司签下了一份电影合同50年代是威廉·霍尔登演艺事业的鼎盛时期,出演了《野餐》(Picnic)等影片。此后他渐渐淡出影坛,把大部分时间花在打理他和别人合开的Mount Kenya Safari俱乐部生意上,经常往返于非洲和瑞士之间。他初次当时就有人说她将是哥伦比亚公司与玛丽莲·梦露相抗衡的秘密武器。

她又和威廉·霍尔登(William Holden)主演了《野餐》(Picnic,1955)一片,这部影片充满着诗情画意,将美国乡村的生活,描写得非常真实而生动。而金·诺瓦克也因此片而获英国学院奖的最佳女主角提名,这也可算是大众对她美貌和演技的肯定。

《野餐》(Picnic,1955) 50年代中期,是美国十大卖座明星之一。在57年她还被美国金球奖评为世界最受欢迎女演员。而在六十年代后期,金·诺瓦克渐渐淡出影坛

金·诺瓦克主演《迷魂记》(Vertigo,1958),在片中她一人分饰两角





出演的第一部电影是《Golden Boy》,他扮演的是一个挣扎在小提琴和拳击运动之间的年轻人,从那时起,霍尔登就一直扮演“邻家男孩”类型的角色。




二战结束后威廉从军队退役重返影坛,1950年他获得出演两个重要的角色的机会,一个是《日落大道》(Sunset Blvd)中的小白脸,另一个是《绛帐海堂春》(Born Yesterday) 中的家庭教师。两年后他在影片《战地军魂》(Stalag 17)中塑造的愤世嫉俗中士一角,为他赢得了奥斯卡奖。因酗酒,心脏病发而亡的霍尔登,是影城不可多得的英俊男星,他潇酒而不拘小节的风采,使得他深受影迷的喜爱。荷顿是在芭芭拉史坦威的提拔下,以《黄金小子》一片打响知名度,从此他可称得上是一帆风顺,至他病逝前,演出一直未曾中断过。而他尤其擅长爱情文艺片,但使他获得影帝的却是比利怀德执导的战争片《战地忠魂》。 霍尔登与女演员布伦达·马歇尔(Brenda Marshall) 于1951年结婚,并在1971年经过长期分居后离婚。他们育有两个儿子Peter Westfield和Scott Porter。
1952年他在他朋友-美国前总统罗纳德·里根的婚礼上担任男傧相。
在《龙凤配》拍摄期间,奥黛丽·赫本与威廉·霍尔登相恋,但赫本在得知霍尔登无法生育后立即分手。威廉·霍尔登由于在《金色男孩》一片中的出色表现,声誉鹊起。他是一名影星,经常被看作美国男人的偶像。他在许多出色的影片中都有不错的表演,其中有《17号集中营》、《我们的小镇》、《落日林荫路》、《野餐》、《卡瓦河上的桥》、《野孩子》和《网络》。但他和另一位著名演员斯宾塞·屈塞一样,养成了喝酒的习惯。
  初登银幕之前,他同帕萨迪纳剧团合作,在多部戏剧中亮相。在此期间,他也在广播剧
中扮演过角色。工作之余,他会在当地的帕萨迪纳酒吧中饮酒。当酒吧拒绝供应更多的酒时,他气愤地抓起凳子砸坏了窗户,并因此而被捕。这是他第一次因饮酒而惹麻烦,一切才刚刚开始。起初,生活中的霍尔登是个模范影星。二战中,他曾为国家服务,参加多种公民组织,担任演员团体的副主席。当时,霍尔登还是有节制的,仅在演出前喝上几口。1962年,当他44岁时,喝酒造成的影响从他的脸上体现出来。他的脸变松、变肿了。人们批评霍尔登总在国外拍电影,像《苏珊的世界》和《钥匙》。

  霍尔登最终移居到了瑞士,此举遭到了批评,说他是为了逃避美国的税收。他疏远了自己的妻子布兰达·马歇尔,两人很快离了婚。他出演了几部了无新意的影片,如《当巴黎毁灭时》、《第七次黎明》、《阿瓦拉兹·凯利》和《皇家赌场》。1967年10月,在意大利的一次狂欢节中,他的车与一辆小型意大利轿车相撞,导致该车司机死亡。他被判入狱8个月。

  出狱后的霍尔登决心环游世界。他出演了一些电视节目和少数电影,其中最有名的是《网络》。在片中,他扮演一名年长的、酗酒的电视台董事。在美国,他住在加州圣莫尼卡的一套公寓中。在那里,他将自己与世隔绝,并在最后的醉酒中死去。1980年末,霍顿在德国汉诺威市之行后,被查出患有肺癌。1981年11月的一个晚上,他独自醉倒在自己位于加利福尼亚圣莫尼卡的家中,跌倒在一块小地摊上,他的头部磕在床头柜上导致严重的割伤,流血过多致死。有关证据表明,威廉霍顿至少在跌倒后的半个小时内仍旧清醒,不过他并没有意识到伤势的严重,之后也没有急求救治,有说法是他酩酊大醉时失去了知觉,没有能力求救。他的遗体在1981年11月16日被发现,不过法医证据表明,威廉霍顿可能早在四天之前就已去世。

按照他生前的意愿,他的遗体被火化,骨灰投进了太平洋。他曾声明死后不希望举行丧葬仪式或是追悼会。1981年11月16日,他的尸体被大楼经理发现。在对他做了尸检并查看了他的房间之后,验尸官托马斯诺格奇得出了结论:喝醉了的霍尔登在地毯上滑倒,他的头撞在了桌子锋利的边角上,他试图用卫生纸阻止血液从前额冒出来,但他醉了,无法正确地采取应急措施。他血液中的酒精含量超过了法定限制的一倍还多。
  霍尔登在全世界有几百万影迷,但他死去8天以后才有人想起他。大部分好友认为他躲到哪儿喝酒去了。他享年63岁。


Love is a Many-Splendored Thing is the story of Han Suyin, a doctor working in a hospital in Hong Kong during the time of China’s communist revolution. Though she has strong ties with the Chinese side of her heritage, she is also half English and is part of the European set in Hong Kong.

She meets American journalist Mark Elliott (Holden) at a cocktail party and they quickly make a connection. In spite of her hesitation – she is a widow whose focus is now her work, he’s a married-but-separated man whose wife won’t give him a divorce – a passionate romance soon blossoms between the two.


Holden and Jones are at their most gorgeous in this movie, and in spite of the fact that they couldn’t stand each other in real life (about which more below) they have great chemistry.

That’s especially apparent during a scene on the beach, with the pair of them in bathing suits. Holden lights Jones’s cigarette with his in the most blatant use of smoking as a substitute for onscreen consummation since Paul Henreid and Bette Davis blew smoke in each other’s faces in Now, Voyager. See it below beginning at about 8:30.



It’s a little cheesy, sure, but also pretty steamy and suggestive. With Picnic’’s release the same year, 1955 was a good year for Holden’s image as a sex symbol. As I said a couple of weeks ago, one of the nicest things about Bill Holden is how often he was shirtless in his movies!

  威廉。霍尔登,是好莱坞影史上不可多得大名鼎鼎的英俊男星。《甜蜜蜜》里令黎小军神魂颠倒念念有词的那个名字。银幕外也是同样潇洒和不拘小节的他,在非洲第二高峰的肯尼亚山脚下,拥有一处奢华的“云端居所”:肯尼亚山SAFARI俱乐部。丘吉尔和平。克劳斯贝均是声名显赫的前俱乐部成员之一。


依附着美丽山峰:肯尼亚山

  一直迷恋的,不是这样的豪华和舒适,而是这处世界富豪度假之地所依附的美丽山峰:肯尼亚山。这个心结存在很久了,一直想依照完美的方式从容地登一次山。这样的准备在头脑中温习了一遍又一遍。但是登山,不可以大意和独行。一直没有找到合意的旅伴,就搁在那里了。但是这个俱乐部,最近又去了一次。一路开车从内罗毕出发北上,绕着风光无限肯尼亚山脚大半圈,近午时分抵达。


茂盛的植被

  同去的两位朋友是某大酒店的主管,他们钻研业务细节取经来了,留下我闲闲漫步。肯尼亚山中午总是云遮雾绕,茂盛的植被一路沿坡地而上,怎么看,都喜欢。心里的那个情结被牵着隐隐发痛发痒。


占地一百英亩的景观花园

  占地一百英亩的景观花园,一百二十多间住房,现在由FAIRMONT国际酒店集团管理。历史上几经易手,都少不了翻云覆雨的大人物和数不清的名流八卦故事。尤妮斯最喜欢看这样的老故事,耐嚼有趣。
