UMelissa Gilbert ungene Ukuba kuphela… .UCarol Rosegg Ixesha lika-Scott Joplin lokudlala i-piano-tickling ragtime lenza isingeniso esifanelekileyo kuwo nawuphi na umdlalo osetiweyo eNew York City parlour ka-1901, kodwa ekuqaleni kwesibhozo Ukuba kuphela … KwiCherry Lane, walala ngaphezulu ngemizuzu elishumi. Kubonakala ngathi kwakude ukuba ubunjalo-njengoko ukhokelwa nguMelissa Gilbert- uzama ukuzenza uviwe malunga nomculo onobukrakra, ufunda ingxelo enomdla, ebeka imo malunga nebhulashi yakho yokuqala kunye noMongameli wangaphambili u-Abe Lincoln.
Kodwa xa ubukwi-showbiz enesiqingatha senkulungwane, njengoGilbert, ngokungathandabuzekiyo uye wakhulisa izakhono ezithile zokuphila ezikwenza ukuba ukwazi ukulima ngee-glitch ezincinci ezicaphukisayo ezinje ngeplk yobungcali, ubabalo kunye ne-aplomb. Yayingumboniso wabaphulaphuli bexesha elizayo mhlawumbi beya kusinda.
Ewe, lowo ngumsebenzi wam, uGilbert, ugoba isaphetha emva kwempumelelo yakhe yenyani ngoMgqibelo ebusuku. Ukuba kukho ingxaki, nokuba ndiyayilungisa okanye ndiyigqobhoza de ide ilungiswe. Leyo bendingakwazi ukuyilungisa kuba ibingenguye kum ukulungisa izikhombisi zesandi.
Umdlalo omtsha kaThomas Klingenstein, ophethe inkulumbuso yehlabathi ngo-Agasti 28 nge-matinee yangeCawa emva kwemini, uveza uMelissa Gilbert ongazange umbone ngaphambili. Kule mihla ukude noLaura Ingalls Wilder, intombazana encinci yaseMinnesota yasefama eyakhulela kwigumbi lakho lokuhlala kwi-NBC Indlu encinci kwiNdawo ukusukela ngo-1974 ukuya kowe-1984. Ngoku, xa efunda amangenelo ejenali, ezo glasi zomhakhulu zihleli ngqo kwincam yempumlo.
Ezo zeglasi zam zokumisela amayeza, utshilo, tad ngovuyo. Ndineziqu ezithathu, ndinamehlo kamakhulu-kwaye ndingumakhulu (ngoncedo lonyana wakhe wesibini, uMichael Boxleitner, owathiywa ngegama lakhe Indawo yasemaphandleni Utata, uMichael Landon).
Akukho nanye kwezi ndaba ehleli ngokuvisisanayo nabalandeli bakhe abamsebenzisayo, njengoShirley Temple kunye nezinye iinkwenkwezi zabantwana, njengokucofa ilanga lomntu ixesha. Xa ndixelela abantu abakwiminyaka yam, kusoloko kukho into evakalayo ‘Owu, Thixo wam!’ - ngakumbi abasetyhini, abalinganayo kwaye abafuni kukhunjuzwa ngayo. Kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo ibetha enye indlela.
Nantsi into eza kuqala kwangoko. Ngexesha leminyaka elishumi njenge Indawo yasemaphandleni nguvulindlela, wadlala indima kwi-190 yothotho 'iziqendu ezingama-204. Ukuqala kwakhe ukubhalisa, wayeneminyaka elithoba kuphela kwaye wayesele engoyena mdlali ubalaseleyo.
Ndiqale ukwenza iintengiso xa ndandineminyaka emibini kunye nomabonakude weepisodic xa ndandineminyaka emine, uGilbert wakha. Umsebenzi wam wokuqala yayisisiganeko Umpu .
Utshata kuphela abadlali ababedlala kunye naye, kodwa ukuza kuthi ga ngoku akafikanga ngaphaya kwe-B's: Bo Brinkman (1988-92), Bruce Boxleitner (1995-2011) kunye no-redhead, ophumelele u-Emmy Into engamashumi amathathu , UTimothy Busfield (okhoyo ngo-2013). Ubuncinci ubonakala ngathi usaphule isiqalekiso semfanozandi (UTimoti unomntakwabo ogama linguBuck Busfield).
Sisebenza kunye kangangoko, kwaye siyayithanda, utshilo uGilbert wobudlelwane kunye neqabane lakhe. Sisoloko sidala. Imizuzu emfutshane engama-44 badubula eNorth Carolina, Umntu omnye oBalaseleyo , bathabathe ibhaso kwiTraverse City Film Festival ngo-2016. Kunyaka ophelileyo bafota umqhubi wenqwelomoya kumabonwakude benza inkampani yemveliso yefilimu nomabonakude eMichigan nabanye abadlali, uJeff Daniels. UGilbert noBusfield babeseNew York kwikhefu elisisiqingatha, bedibana neearhente malunga nezinye iiprojekthi ababezokuzidibanisa xa Ukuba kuphela . . . wawangawangiswa phambi kwakhe njengento enokwenzeka.
Umenzeli wam undixelele ukuba lo mdlalo uyenzeka kwaye wabuza ukuba ndiza kuvavanywa. Besinayo le ncoko malunga nokuzivuselela ngokutsha kunye nokuthatha amathuba. Kule minyaka yobudala kum ngoku, andisekho-ngokuqinisekileyo-ndinobuchule. Ndivele ndisedolophini xa le projekthi iza, ke wandizisela iskripthi ngobo busuku. Ndineeyure ezimbini ndisebenza malunga namaphepha ali-14. Ndaye ndaya ngentsasa elandelayo ndaya kuvavanya uChristopher McElroen, umphathi.
Ukuba kuphela . . . ikhupha i-rose ethile ecinezelweyo, ubume behlabathi. Ngobumnene, iguquka ibe kukuthandana kwabantu bezinye iintlanga kukhuthazwa nguLincoln kwaye wadlala ngokuzithoba kubude bengalo. I-Great Emancipator ikwavela ukuba ibingumlingisi olungileyo, edibanisa ikhoboka elalisakuba ngumfundi (uMark Kenneth Smaltz) kunye nenenekazi lase-New York elalitshatile elalimncancisa ngexesha lemfazwe (uGilbert). Ayiphelelanga ekugqityweni, kudlula iminyaka engama-36 ngaphambi kokuba baphinde bahlangane kwaye bathethe into ebinokwenzeka. Yicinge ngolu hlobo Kude neZulu kwikhola ephezulu enesitatshi.
Ndiyithandile inyani yokuba yayilixesha lokuba ndibalise ibali labantu abatshatileyo kwaye benyanzelwe ukuba bangabi kunye ngenxa yombala wolusu lwabo, utsho uGilbert. Ndiyifumanisa inomsindo kangangokuba le yingxaki kwakhona, naphina emhlabeni-kodwa ngakumbi apha eMelika. Kwakunjalo, ekuqaleni, into enditsalele kuyo.
Kwakukho enye into ethathelwa ingqalelo ngokunjalo: Kunqabile kakhulu kum ukuba ndikwazi nje ukudlala ibali lothando kwiminyaka yam. Uyazi, abantu bakule minyaka yobudala badlula kwezi zinto ngalo lonke ixesha. Ngenxa yokuba usiba mdala akuthethi ukuba uyeke ukuba neemvakalelo.
Ixesha lokugqibela-kunye nelinye kuphela-ixesha uGilbert awakhe wabonakala ngalo eqongeni laseNew York yayiyiminyaka engama-30 eyadlulayo xa wayeneminyaka engama-23 kwaye edlala noGordana Rashovich eWestide Arts e KuShayna Maidel , Umdlalo weqonga othandwa kakhulu nguBarbara Lebow malunga nokudibana koodade ababini abakhuliswe kumacala amabini ahlukeneyo eMfazwe yesibini (II) yeHlabathi. Ewe, umdlali weqonga uqhekeka ngokuqaqambileyo, uyandazi kunye nee-comedies zam ezilula.
UGilbert wadubula enye kwi-Broadway yeza ngo-2010, edlala indawo kanina kumculo Indlu encinci kwiNdawo . Kwiworkshop yokuqala, uPatrick Swayze wayenendima yeLandon kodwa wagula kwaye kwafuneka ayeke kuSteve Blanchard.
Sikwenze eGuthrie iinyanga ezintathu ngehlobo elinye, saza kunyaka olandelayo safika apha, senza iindibano zocweyo ezininzi saza sayibonisa ePlay Mill Playhouse ngaphambi kokuyithatha sisendleleni unyaka wonke. Ukhenketho lwaludinisa, kwaye ndandizenzakalisile ePill Mill ngaphambi kokuba sihambe kwaye zange ndiqonde ngeloxesha ubungakanani bayo.
Ekupheleni kokhenketho eKansas City, Mo., wafunda ukuba ebesebenza ngomqolo owaphukileyo. Andazi ukuba ndenze njani. Yayingummangaliso, ndiyaqikelela. Wenziwa utyando endaweni ye-disc kunye nokufaka i-vertebra kumqolo ongezantsi. Yayikukuchacha okude, okucothayo, kunye nabongikazi ekhaya kunye nokuhambahamba, kodwa ndachacha. Kubonakala ngathi ndinohlobo oluthile lotyando olukhulu lomqolo rhoqo kwiminyaka embalwa. Umqolo wam isithende sam se-Achilles.
Iphinde yagqabhuka kwakhona kulo nyaka uphelileyo kwaye yamnyanzela ukuba arhoxe njengonyulwa weDemokhrasi okhukhumeleyo kwi-8 kaMichiganthIsithili secongress apho ahlala khona nomyeni wakhe. Incasa yakhe yangaphambili yezopolitiko yayikukusebenza iminyaka emibini (iminyaka emine) njengoMongameli weScreen Actors Guild. Ipolitiki yomanyano inzima kakhulu. Ndilenzile ixesha lam.
UGilbert kunye noPatty Duke ongasekhoyo babengabahlobo bobomi bonke. Sasiphila ubomi obufanayo. Sikhule njengabalingisi bomntwana. Sobabini sasidlala uHelen Keller. [UGilbert wayengu-Emmy-otyunjiweyo ku-Duke's Emmy ophumelele u-Anne Sullivan ngo-1979.] Sobabini saba ngoomongameli be-SAG. Kwaye sasisondele kakhulu. Njalo.
Kumsebenzi wakhe omde, uGilbert ubonakala eyenye yezinto zonke. Wenza isitokhwe sehlobo (eyokugqibela yayiyeyakhe Isinyithi Magnolias kwiTotem Pole Playhouse ePennsylvania). Her Ndlu encinci Umsebenzi wamngenisa kwiHolo loDumo laseNtshona kwiZiko loLwazi lweNkcubeko yeSizwe kunye neLifa leMveli lase-Oklahoma City. Ubhale ibali elifutshane labantwana ababiziweyo UDaisy noJosephine. Wenza izandi zomsindo (njengoBatgirl kwiminyaka yoo-1990 Batman: Uthotho lweeVidiyo ). Wayethandana noRob Lowe. Uye wangqungqa neenkwenkwezi. (Iqabane likaMaksim Chmerkovskiy, amava, ayengekho lula. Ibiyinto yokuvula amehlo, yokutshiza, yamava akhazimlayo. Ndiyavuya ndiyenzile, kodwa andisokuze ndiphinde ndiyenze into enjalo. Umsebenzi omkhulu.) Uye walwa notywala kunye nokusebenzisa gwenxa iziyobisi kwaye waphila ngokubhala ngako ngo-2009 ngobomi bakhe. Uyapheka, kwaye wabhala malunga naleyo kwi My Prairie Cookbook: Iinkumbulo kunye nokutya kweMida ukusuka kwiNdlu yam encinci ukuya kweYakho .
Ndiyintsikelelo yokuba nomsebenzi ohlukileyo kakhulu weentlobo ezahlukeneyo kunye nezitayile ezahlukeneyo, uyavuma. Bekumnandi, kwaye kuya kusiba nomdla ngakumbi njengoko ndiguga, okuyintsikelelo. Ndingavuya kakhulu xa ndisenza indawo yeqonga eNew York. Ndiyaqhuma.
