| 词源 | a real star is born. An actor who really had a bad voice for the early sound films was leading man John Bowers. Bower’s death, in fact, was the model for Norman Maines’s suicide in A Star is Born. Despondent because he couldn’t make the transi- tion to talkies, Bowers took off his shoes and bathrobe and swam out into the Pacific, never to be seen again. |
