What Women Think Of Shaved Gentials

Dalida, the diva of popular song





With its glittering dresses, its glitter, its catchy songs, Dalida shone at the top of the hit parade and won the heart of the European public that has reserved a fervor that few artists have experienced.
If the singer has collected the gold records both in France and Italy and Germany, it is clear she has not really shined in the film, whereas initially, the young Italian was literally fascinated by Hollywood and dreamed of becoming a star of the silver screen. However, is it not a little of the magic of Hollywood's golden age as the singer, has starred in his shows are and television, and her long golden hair and sleeves borrowed his idol Rita Hayworth? It is this sense of spectacle and entertainment as well as tragedy and despair hidden under the paint and lights, which made it too profoundly human and probably explain the magnitude of his glory.

Born in Cairo in 1933 to parents of Italian origin, the future Dalida dream theater and glory while working in a pharmaceutical laboratory. After winning a beauty contest, she was hired as an understudy of his favorite star, Rita Hayworth American, who has a film shoot in Egypt biblical "Joseph and His Brothers" that is eventually abandoned en route by featuring the whimsical. To console himself, Dalida gets a role in an Egyptian film directed by Niazi Mustafa, known for his flair for young talent (he was found Kamel El Chénawi, Kouka, Leila Fawzi and Samira Toufik, superstars in the Arab world). A glass, a cigarette (1955) is a musical melodrama with great belly dancer Samia Gamal to be detached from the Egyptian production of the era often very poor in spite of the wonderful singers and actors who participated. Dalida already vamp, sang in Italian, stirring her hair, as Rita Hayworth in Gilda: a gesture that will continue long. The same year, it occurs as a dancer in the spy mask of Tutankhamen, an Egyptian-French production directed by a former filmmaker talent at the time dumb Gastyne Mark, author of a remarkable Joan of Arc. It seems that a legal mess has deprived the film a real business career: in any case, he was briefly operated in France in 1955 and the journal Cinemonde poster for the opportunity to hedge Gil Vidal "the leading man who rises »Dalida and presented as" Italian singer. " Arriving in Paris on the advice of Gastyne, young brunette actress is struggling to win. His slight squint Is it harmful? (This handicap did not stop at Norma Shearer or Virginia Mayo to make Career Major). Disappointed, Dalida will turn to the song. Backed by the director of the new radio in vogue Europe No. 1 (her husband), who incessantly bludgeon his music on the air, she triumphs with Bambino in 1956, then a long series of adaptations of Italian songs, very popular in the late '50s (come prima, romantica ..). The dark beauty of the new feature, displayed on the covers of 45T also contributes to its success, and allows it to supplant the English Gloria Lasso, singer accent that marked the beginning of the LP. Dalida
only makes a few forays on the screen, pour y chanter quelques refrains : il s’agit de polars très datés, traitant d’un sujet un peu scabreux mais populaire : la traite des blanches. Aux médiocre « brigade des mœurs » ou « Rapt au 2ème bureau« , on préférera le film allemand « des filles pour le mambo bar« qui a le mérite d’être bien réalisé et de dépeindre avec justesse l’atmosphère des bars louches. Dalida y chante la version allemande du jour où la pluie viendra qui fera d’elle une star en Allemagne.
Alors que l’univers de la variété populaire connaît de forts remous avec l’arrivée de la déferlante rock et yéyé, Dalida clings imperturbable year adopting the transition to new rhythms in the wind.
He finally confides in a Leading Role Speak to Me of Love (1961) Italian film music designed more to highlight the latest success for the singer to build a coherent story. She sings such as "gypsies" that made him famous in Italy.
More than a singer (whose talent is a matter of taste: I think in a similar genre Italian Mina has more vocal potential and versatility), Dalida has become a public figure whose audience follows the lower doings: his turbulent life made the headlines for scandalous on: his divorce, his loves and sorrows will make the joy of some magazines throughout his life. The suicide of her lover, promising singer Luigi Teno, will be the first drama of a long succession. Listed
cinema, still nothing remarkable: the unknown in Hong Kong cinema is under 63 "a mediocre thriller that tries in vain to play on the local color." The director Poitrenaud recognize that Dalida was less good at comedy than singing. Yet fans will delight in her duet with Serge Gainsbourg. It's also found in two Italian films that are not operated home: cleaning the Italian (1965) (very inspired by the comedy "She's terrible" by Luciano Salce, where Dalida not singing) and a novel photo rosewater Io ti amo, directed by Anthony Dawson , specialist and peplum horror film (1967), now available on video.
In any event, these inconclusive trials will not capture public favor, however, continues to flatter the singer who aligns further success in the decade 70 (Gigi l'amoroso, the theme from the godfather, a recovery disco wait). With the popular disco singer dons more ever sequins and colors, and the futility of his songs made a curious contrast with a succession of misfortunes: the suicide of her first husband and her lover Richard St Germain. In the early 80s, the artist is experiencing a certain decline that began with the birth of free radio and a younger audience. Prey of comedians, artists find it difficult to succeed. His attempts to adopt a less easy directory are commercial failures.
The Egyptian director Youssef Chahine offered him to play in the 6th day o (1986): a non-musical drama in 1000 locations itsi bitsi small bikini Kalimba de luna or other. The star has always dreamed of a beautiful screen role and accepts the challenge: the critics applauded his amazing interpretation of a washerwoman
Cairo. Without artifice or frills, Dalida was beautiful and moving in this dramatic role that will be acclaimed in Egypt but did not meet with popular success in France.
Very depressed and probably skeptical about the possible evolution of his career, Dalida committed suicide in 1987. His brother Orlando has been very successful in maintaining the myth of his famous sister out regularly compiled and marketing operations. Derided in his lifetime, the singer is now respected by the younger generation of the music world and remains popular with the public, particularly the gay community: a social phenomenon that is probably based more on sympathy, humanity and fragility of the intrinsic character of his repertoire.
