Owu, unetalente emangalisayo, utshilo umvelisi we-Broadway uMarty Richards. Kudala-dala, kufanele ukuba wayeyintshatsheli. Ayisiyonto yodwa leyo: Unomtsalane ngokugqithisileyo, kwaye ndiyabazi abafazi abangamawaka ezigidi ezintlanu abaphambeneyo ngaye-kwaye ukuba ebefuna, ngewayengatshata malunga ne-63 yezigidi, kuba ndibazi abathathu kubo.
UMnu Nouri uyaziwa ngokuvuka eManhattan amaqela okutya kunye nokucula u-Enapped Evening cappella.
Kwakungathi ingelosi yayisegumbini, utshilo uDeborah Norville we-MSNBC, etheko lakhe elimnyama leKrisimesi uMnu Nouri wakhupha i-baritone yakhe. Yayintle kakhulu, kwaye intle kakhulu. Kwakungumlingo. Ukhe wamjonga? Uyabubona ububele.
UMichael Nouri unendlu ejonge ulwandle eLos Angeles (Ndinezitepsi ezimalunga nama-200 ezisuka elunxwemeni ziye endlwini), kodwa useNew York kakhulu kwaye ngoku uhlala kwiKlabhu yeKnickerbocker eMpuma. Udlala ngokuchasene noPatti LuPone kwii-Encores! imveliso Can Can.

UMnu Nouri udlala isoka lomncedisi wenqwelomoya uCatherine Zeta-Jones.
Zininzi izinto ezimbi kakhulu ukuba zenziwe ngobuchule kunokumanga uCatherine Zeta-Jones, utshilo.
Uhlala rhoqo kwindawo yokutyela eNello eMadison Avenue, apho kutshanje ebehleli khona kudliwanondlebe. Ukufika kwakhe, wasusa iiglasi zakhe zesiFrentshi, ibhatyi emnyama yesikhumba kunye nevesti yaphantsi kwaye wa-odola iti. Ubambe ibunzi lakhe lomile nge-napkin.
Ngaba ngokwenene ungumntu othanda abafazi? Abafazi bayaphambana ngaye, akunjalo?
Ngaba yile nto i-womanizer? uthe. Ngokuqinisekileyo ayisiyondlela endizibona ngayo.
Ngama-58, uMnu Nouri mkhulu: 6-inyawo-3, enesifuba esineenwele, iminwe emide, iinzipho ezenziwe ngomzimba. Unomnwe wokuthantamisa kwangoko malunga neminyaka ye-1970 malunga naye: Udlala ikatala, acamngce iiyure ezimbini ngosuku. Ububungqina obuphilayo bokuba umzuzu wakho omkhulu unokuba ngamashumi amabini eminyaka edlulileyo-ungaziwa njengalaa mfana weFlashdance-kwaye usatsala iintsana. Umnini kaNello, uNello Balan, wakhomba kumfanekiso oseludongeni luka Mnu Nouri ukusukela ngo 1985.
Abafazi emva kwakhe, ngoku nangoku, utshilo uMnu Balan.
Ewe usebenze kakhulu ukusukela ngeFlashdance: Ukufumana iForrester noSean Connery, ejongene noJuste Andrews eqongeni eVictor / Victoria, ukulibala okulibalekayo njengeGoBots: Imfazwe yeRock Lords kunye neMida, eneenkwenkwezi uAnna Nicole Smith noJoey-ewe, uJoey -Travolta. Ngobunye ubusuku, ixesha lokuPhila lasasaza imovie yango-1990 Shattered Dreams, apho uMnu Nouri wadlala igosa lolawulo likaReagan elalibetha umfazi wakhe, elidlalwa nguLindsay Wagner. UMnu Nouri uguqula umgca andikwazi ukutya i-macaroni kunye noshizi ibe yinto eyoyikisayo ngokwenene.
Emva kokubonakala kwisiqendu sokuChukunyiswa yiNgelosi, kungekudala wazibandakanya nenkwenkwezi yechungechunge, umdlali wase-Ireland u-Roma Downey. Uye wayiqhekeza emva kweminyaka emithathu, ecaphula u-9/11. Ngoku akatshatanga. Yinto entsha kum leyo, utshilo. Utshatile-ebengafuni ukufumana iinkcukacha-kwaye uneentombi ezimbini, enye yazo ifuna ukuba ngumdlali weqonga.
Ngaba uyazi ukuba ukhe wabonwa ejikeleze idolophu eneenombolo ezishushu?
Ewe, andazi, utshilo. Kuyinyani, ndinobuhlobo obuhle kunye nabasetyhini okwenzeka ukuba bahle. Ndiyathanda ukucinga ukuba ndinobuhlobo obunentsingiselo…. UBlah, blah, blah.
(Ayisiyiyo into yokuba ndingumntu othanda abantu basetyhini, utshilo uMnumzana Nouri kamva. Bangabenzi bokuziphatha. Ndihlala nabafazi abenza imanis. Musa ukwenza impazamo malunga naloo nto: Ndiyabathanda abantu basetyhini.)
Ungathini malunga neengcebiso malunga nendlela yokuguda amanenekazi?
Kukho ingoma eCamelot ethi uKumkani Arthur uyacula, utshilo. Ibizwa ngokuba ‘Indlela yokuphatha uMfazi.’ Yingoma emnandi. Kwaye ‘Kukuphatha njani umfazi… kukumthanda… umthande… umthande.’ Elo lelona cebiso lihle endakha ndaliva.
Kukhale umnxeba wakhe.
Hallo. Njani. Ngaba. Isundu. Ulwandle? Ewe, unethamsanqa ukuba kuyabanda apha. Darling, ndingakubiza kwakhona?
Umnumzana Nouri wathi akakapholi ncam ekufeni komntu owayefumene igolide uChauncey kwiminyaka emine eyadlulayo. Sasihlangene phantse yonke imihla yobomi bakhe phantse iminyaka eyi-14, utshilo. Ndizithanda zonke izilwanyana.
Unyana kamama we-WASP kunye notata waseIraq, wakhula kamnandi eAlpine, NJ, naseManhattan. Wayengu ham.
Ndiza kuzisa uburharha ukuze ndiqhekeze i-ice, ukunciphisa uxinzelelo kusapho, utshilo uMnu Nouri. Eyona nto imbi kuye yenzeka xa ikati yakhe uPinkle Purr yayiqhutywa ngaphezulu. Kwakubuhlungu oko, utshilo.
Nge-14, wayekwimantombazana kwaye wayesilwa kwisikolo sikarhulumente awayefunda kuso. Utshintshele kwisikolo samakhwenkwe samakhwenkwe e-Connecticut, waba ngumongameli womzimba womfundi, kwaye wagqiba kwelokuba abe ngumdlali weqonga emva kokudlala umdlalo weGilbert noSullivan.
Ndiqale ukukhulisa ikratshi, utshilo. Yaziva intle kakhulu.
Waya kwiikholeji ezimbini ezityebileyo zabantwana-iRollins eWinter Park, eFla., NaseEmerson eBoston. Ngo-1967, wafumana umsebenzi njengeweyitala eManhattan kwaye wakhawuleza wadlala indima kwi-Broadway kwii-40 Carats, noJulie Harris, nakwimovie ethi Goodbye, Columbus, njengejeli lika-Ali MacGraw.
Njengabaninzi ngeminyaka yoo-1970, wadibana nabantu abathandanayo, kuquka umntu ogama linguGugu Maharaj Ji; Amaphephandaba axele ukuba uMaharaj Ji kunye nabalandeli bakhe baqesha iHouston Astrodome kwaye babekela bucala indawo yokupaka iisosi eziphaphazelayo. (Abazange bahlale emhlabeni.) UMnu Nouri wayichitha intetho yonqulo wathi, Kungenxa yokucamngca nje. Undibonisile indlela yokucamngca. Olunye lwezona ntsuku zibalulekileyo ebomini bam kuxa ndandiboniswa indlela yokucamngca.
Ngeli xesha, uqhubeke nokuphicothwa. Wenza iisepha kunye ne-Count Dracula kwi-NBC. Yayiyintlungu esile, ukhumbula njalo. Kwakudingeka senze ifilimu ebusuku. Sasiya emsebenzini ngo-4 emva kwemini siyeke ukudubula xa kuphuma ilanga.
Ekuqaleni kweminyaka yoo-1980, wayethandana nomlingisi uDyan Cannon. Emva koko kwafika iFlashdance.
Kwakukhulu, watsho. Asinakho sonke ukuba nazo ezi bhanyabhanya zibhloko. NdineFlashdance enye kwikhondo lam. Njengokuba ndisiya ndisiba mdala, kwaye ndingene kwishishini amashumi amathathu eminyaka, ingakumbi ngombulelo, imalunga nokuba nombulelo ngento endize ngayo.
Ndacinga ukuba angangumdlali omkhulu webhanyabhanya ngoku, utshilo umhlobo wakhe, umdlali weqonga kunye nendoda malunga nedolophu uChuck Pfeiffer. Ulungile. Ngeli xesha lobukrwada, oko kuvakala nje. Ndicinga ukuba yenye yeemfihlo ezigcinwe kakuhle kwishishini lokubonisa, kwaye ndicinga ukuba uzophuma.
Ukuwa kokugqibela, uDominick Dunne wambona edlala noRodin eCamille Claudel eChester, eConn. Wayemhle kuloo mboniso, utshilo uMnu. Dunne. Ndimthanda kakhulu. Ngobunye ubusuku ndandikwitheko laseHerreras, kwaye uMichael wayekhona, kwaye waphakama wacula icappella kwaye yayiyinto entle.
Ndingumlandeli omkhulu, utshilo ubuntu bokutya uNikki Haskell. Uyinzwana ngokungaqhelekanga, kwaye ngalo lonke ixesha ndakhe ndaba kwinkampani yakhe, abafazi ngokwenene bayatsiba phezu kwakhe. Andisiqondi ukuba kutheni engeyontanga. Ngeke wazi ukuba lithini ibali eliyinyani, kodwa ndicinga ukuba mhlawumbi wayengekho kulawulo olufanelekileyo okanye iarhente elungileyo. Wayekulungele ngokwenene ukuba yintshatsheli xa esenza uMdaniso oMdaka -Ndithetha ukuba yiFlashdance.
Ungomnye wamadoda abelana ngesondo kakhulu, umphathi omkhulu wamakrele, utshilo uVictoria Vicuna, owayeyintombazana yeqela owayethandana noMnumzana Nouri. Ungumfo omkhulu, kodwa unobungozi kuye, umgangatho we-teddy-bear. Kukho imfihlakalo: Akukho mntu ukwazileyo ukumfumana. Ndiyathetha, wayethandana nomntu wonke ukusuka [kuJohnson noJohnson heiress] uLibbet Johnson ukuya…. Kwaye akazange afune ukuba yinkwenkwe yomntu yokudlala. Uyindoda ezimeleyo. Ukhethe ukulamba kwaye aphile ngokulula kwaye abambelele kwindima elungileyo kunokuba athengise.
Singabantu bomphefumlo, utshilo umhombisi kwaye Namhlanje bonisa uHelene Benhamou rhoqo, owathi wayedlala ngothando noMnu Nouri kudala. Ngendlela yakhe yesiFrentshi, uchaze ifuthe analo kwabasetyhini: u-Oouuff. Uyazi ukuba kuthetha ntoni? Inzulu kakhulu. Ndikhe ndajikeleza neenkwenkwezi zamuvi kakhulu, kwaye abanabo obo bukho. Unayo. Uyinzwakazi ngokupheleleyo. Kwaye usikhathalele. Xa sisesitratweni kwaye ubona umntu omdala, uyanceda.
Ndicinga ukuba unetalente kakhulu, utshilo elinye idangatye, uDenise Rich, umbhali wengoma kunye nowayesakuba ngumfazi kaPardongate kaMarc Rich. Uninzi lomtsalane. Uyidlala kakuhle ikatala. Ngandlela thile, njengakumaxesha aphakathi, uluhlobo olunjengebhadi…. Unxibelelana kakhulu necala lakhe labasetyhini. Uwaqonda kakuhle amabhinqa.
KwaNello’s, kwafika ipasta. Ngaba unayo indawo ayithandayo yomfazi?
Intamo yentamo, utshilo.
Ngaba kwakungumthwalo ukuba ngumdlali we-hunky uninzi lwabafazi abahle abafuna ukulala naye?
Ndikhunjuzwa ngento ethiwa nguCary Grant, utshilo uMichael Nouri. Umntu othile wathi kuye, ‘Wow, ndinqwenela ukuba bendinguCary Grant.’ Kwaye impendulo yakhe yathi, ‘Nam ngokunjalo.
