Extrait : Andy Lau (en sinogrammes simplifiés ; en sinogrammes traditionnels ; en pinyin ) est un acteur et chanteur hong-kongais né le 27 septembre 1961 à Hong Kong. Sa carrière a été lancée par ses participations dans des séries télévisées comme Eagle Hunter ou Retour of Condors Heroes. Il fait ses débuts au grand écran en 1982 avec la comédie dramatique Boat People de la réalisatrice Ann Hui. Le premier réalisateur à lui donner un rôle important est Wong Kar-wai avec As Tears Go By en 1988, année où Andy Lau enchaîne les longs métrages. Mais ce n'est qu'en 2000 que la consécration arrive enfin, avec le titre de meilleur acteur aux Hong Kong Film Awards, pour sa performance dans Running Out of Time de Johnnie To. D'autres rôles, dans Infernal Affairs ou Running on Karma lui ont valu des moments de gloire supplémentaire. Sa performance dans le film Protégé de Derek Yee, aux côtés de Daniel Wu, est une autre preuve de sa qualité d'acteur et de sa prestance à l'écran.

Excerpt: Faye Wong () (born August 8, 1969) is a Chinese singer, songwriter, actress and model. She is an icon popular in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and to some extent in the West. She came to fame in the early 1990s while she was based in Hong Kong, returning to Beijing around 1996. Her fan base has grown so large and devoted that media in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and mainland China often place the title tinhòu (, which literally means Heavenly Queen but usually refers to singers who are widely popular) before her name, while Japanese fans call her "Diva of Asia". An intensely private artist, she is widely popular on both sides of the Taiwan Straits, despite her apparent nonchalance toward the media. According to Guinness World Records, Faye Wong had sold 9.7 million copies of her albums in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan as of March 2000, giving her the title of Best Selling Canto-Pop Female. She has acted in several TV shows and films, most memorably in Wong Kar-wai's Chungking Express, a role that won her "Best Actress" award at the 1994 Stockholm International Film Festival, and in 2046. She is known to many Final Fantasy fans for her Final Fantasy VIII theme "Eyes on Me", and has also been the spokeswoman of brands such as Head ... Read more

She is often referred to as simply Eva Perón, or by the affectionate Spanish language diminutive Evita, which literally translates into English as "Little Eva". She was born out of wedlock in the village of Los Toldos in rural Argentina in 1919, the fourth of five children. In 1934, at the age of 15, she went to the nation's capital of Buenos Aires, where she pursued a career as a stage, radio, and film actress. Eva met Colonel Juan Perón on January 22, 1944, in Buenos Aires during a charity event at the Luna Park Stadium to benefit the victims of an earthquake in San Juan, Argentina. The two were married the following year. In 1946, Juan Perón was elected President of Argentina. Over the course of the next six years, Eva Perón became powerful within the pro-Peronist trade unions, essentially for speaking on behalf of labor rights. She also ran the Ministries of Labor and Health, founded and ran the charitable Eva Perón Foundation, championed women's suffrage in Argentina, and founded and ran the nation's first large-scale female political party, the Female Peronist Party. In 1951, Eva Perón accepted the Peronist nomination for the office of Vice President of Argentina. In this bid, she received great support from the Peronist political base, low-income and working class Argentines who were referred to as descamisados or...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=51584 ...
