Men were often treated as sex objects.

biography:
Danny DeVito 1944. november 17-én született New Jerseyben. Szülei révén olasz gyökerekkel rendelkezik. Katolikus iskolába járt; alacsony termete miatt állandóan gúnyolták, ezért parodizálással próbálta az ebből fakadó hátrányt kompenzálni. Kozmetikusnak tanult, majd mégis felvételizett az American Academy of Dramatic Arts színész szakára. Itt ismerte meg feleségét is, akivel az idők során három gyermekük született.

Első mozifilmjében, a Mortadellaban (1971) Sophia Lorennel játszott együtt, majd ezt a Kirk Douglas-szal készült Scalawag (1973) követte. Szerepet kapott Miloš Forman többszörösen Oscar-, BAFTA- és Golden Globe-díjas alkotásában, a Száll a kakukk fészkére (1975) című filmdrámában. Országos ismeretségre a Taxi (1978) tévésorozattal tett szert. Ezt követően számos vígjátékban kapott jelentős szerepet, így a főszereplők sorában volt látható a Becéző szavak (1983), a Karrier minden áron (1984) és a Borzasztó emberek (1986) alkotásokban. A smaragd románca (1984) és a A Nílus gyöngye (1985) kalandfilmekben Michael Douglas és Kathleen Turner voltak partnerei. Emlékezetes alakításai közé tartozik Vincent Benedict megformálása az Ikrekben (1988) – ikertestvérét Arnold Schwarzenegger alakította. A színészből lett kormányzóval játszott együtt a Juniorban (1994) is.

Tim Burton rendezésében, a Batman visszatérben (1992) Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepotot alakította Michael Keaton oldalán, majd a Reneszánsz emberben (1994) egy utcára került reklámszakemberből lett tanárt formált meg. Játszott a Szóljatok a köpcösnek! (1995) és a Matt Damon főszereplésével készült Az esőcsináló (1997) filmdrámában is. Ismét Formannal, ill. Jim Carrey-vel dolgozott együtt a Ember a Holdon (2000) elkészülténél, majd a Nagy Halban (2003) és a Kiskarácsony mindenáronban is az élvonalban játszott. Készülő filmjei az Kinn a vadonban (2014) és az Állati jó kekszek (2016).

A rendezői székben első ízben a Karrier minden áron (1984) film kapcsán ült, majd ezt követte a Dobjuk ki anyut a vonatból (1987) vígjáték, melynek főszerepét is ő játszotta. A Matilda, a kiskorú boszorkány (1996) és a Dögölj meg, Smaci! (2002) filmek rendezői feladatait is ő látta el.

Filmproducerként támogatta a Nyakunkon az élet (1994), a Mint a kámfor (1998), az Erin Brockovich, zűrös természet (2000), a Fűre tépni szabad (2001) alkotásokat, míg az utóbbi években a Zsaruk bevetésen - A film (2007) tévésorozatot és a Sírok között (2011) akcióthrillert is ezen minőségben jegyzi.

biography:
Daniel Michael „Danny“ DeVito (* 17. November 1944 in Asbury Park, New Jersey) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler, Regisseur und Filmproduzent.

Wegen seiner geringen Körpergröße – DeVito ist mit rund 1,50 Metern einer der kleinsten Schauspieler Hollywoods – hatte es DeVito anfangs schwer, im Filmgeschäft Fuß zu fassen. Eine seiner ersten Rollen war der geisteskranke Martini in der Bühnenversion des Romans Einer flog über das Kuckucksnest. Als das Buch sieben Jahre später mit Jack Nicholson verfilmt wurde, erinnerte sich Michael Douglas als Produzent des Films an seinen Freund aus Studienzeiten und engagierte ihn für das Projekt. Der große Erfolg des Films Einer flog über das Kuckucksnest beim Publikum und in der Kritik verhalf DeVito zum Durchbruch.

Von 1978 bis 1982 war DeVito neben Andy Kaufman in der Sitcom Taxi zu sehen. Bei einigen Episoden führte er auch Regie. Mitte der 1980er Jahre drehte er gemeinsam mit Michael Douglas und Kathleen Turner die Abenteuerfilme Auf der Jagd nach dem grünen Diamanten und Auf der Jagd nach dem Juwel vom Nil und etablierte sich als Hollywood-Star und einer der führenden Filmkomödianten. 1987 fungierte DeVito für die schwarze Komödie Schmeiß’ die Mama aus dem Zug!, einer Variante von Der Fremde im Zug, erstmals als Regisseur bei einem Kinofilm.

Дани Де Вито

biography:
Даниъл Майкъл ДеВито мл. е роден на 17 ноември 1944 г. в Нептун, Ню Джърси, САЩ. Баща му има малък бизнес, а майка му е домакиня. След като завършва гимназия през 1962 г., той започва работа като козметик в салона на сестра си.

Кандидатства в Американската академия по драматични изкуства, за да научи повече за козметиката, но там се запалва по актьорската игра. Докато е в Академията се запознава с Майкъл Дъглас, с когото по-късно ще работи неколкократно. Скоро след тази съдбоносна среща следва още една - с Риа Пърлман. Двамата се женят през 1982-ра и им се раждат три деца. През 1975 г. е насърчен от Майкъл Дъглас да се снима в „Полет над кукувиче гнездо” на Милош Форман. Филмът има огромен успех но за съжаление това не оказва положително въздействие върху кариерата на Дани ДеВито.

Няколко години след това той получава само малки роли и участия в телевизионни продукции. През 1978 г. успява да пробие с роля в ситкома на ABC „Такси”. Шоуто има голям успех до 1983 г. През 80-те ДеВито прави запомнящи се роли в „Романс за камъка” (1984), „Безскрупулни хора”, „Хвърли мама от влака” (1987), „Близнаци” (1988). Също така има значителни постижения зад камера с лентите „Войната на семейство Роуз” (1989) и „Хофа” (1992).

Същата година в която режисира „Хофа” играе Пингвина във филма на Тим Бъртън „Батман се завръща” и основава със съпругата си компанията Jersey Films, която продуцира много филми и телевизионни продукции, между които „Криминале” (1994), „Игра на пари” (1995), „Ерин Брокович” (2000) и др. През 1997-ма Дани се снима в „Поверително от Ел Ей” и в „Ударът” на Копола по Джон Гришам. Две години по –късно участва в „Човек от луната” (1999) и „Да удавиш Мона” (2000).

Снима се отново при Тим Бъртън в „Голямата риба” (2003). От 2006-та е част от екипа на сериала "Слънчева Филаделфия". През 2007 г. участва в „Сладки сънища” на Джейк Полтроу с Пенелопе Крус и Майкъл Гамбън. През 2009 играе в „Самотник” (2009) с Майкъл Дъглас, Сюзан Сарандън, Мери Луиз Паркър и др.

biography:
Daniel Michael "Danny" DeVito Jr., 17 Kasım 1944 tarihinde Neptune Township, New Jersey'de dünyaya gelmiştir. İtalyan asıllı bir ailenin oğlu olan DeVito, çocukluğunu Asbury Park'ta geçirdi. İlk gençlik yıllarında kız kardeşinin güzellik salonunda çalıştıktan sonra oyunculuk tutkusunun peşinden giderek Amerikan Dramatik Sanatlar Akademisi'nde eğitim aldı. Kariyerine tiyatro sahnelerinde başlayan DeVito, Michael Douglas ile yapımcılığını üstlendiği ve rol aldığı 1975 yapımı kült film "Guguk Kuşu"nda (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) canlandırdığı Martini karakteriyle sinema dünyasında ilk ciddi çıkışını yaptı.

Ancak Danny DeVito'yu geniş kitlelere tanıtan ve ona bir yıldız statüsü kazandıran yapım, 1978-1983 yılları arasında yayınlanan televizyon dizisi "Taxi" oldu. Dizide canlandırdığı huysuz, otoriter ve kurnaz taksi durağı şefi Louie De Palma karakteri, ona hem bir Emmy hem de bir Altın Küre ödülü kazandırdı. 1980'ler boyunca sinema kariyerine ağırlık veren aktör, Michael Douglas ve Kathleen Turner ile birlikte "Amazon'da Fırtına" (Romancing the Stone) (1984) ve devam filmi "Nil'in İncisi" (The Jewel of the Nile) (1985) gibi başarılı macera-komedi filmlerinde rol aldı. Özellikle Arnold Schwarzenegger ile oluşturduğu tezat ikili dinamikleriyle "İkizler" (Twins) (1988) ve daha sonra "Ufaklık" (Junior) (1994) filmlerinde büyük gişe başarıları elde etti.

1990'larda oyunculuk yelpazesini genişleten DeVito, Tim Burton'ın yönettiği "Batman Dönüyor" (Batman Returns) (1992) filminde canlandırdığı grotesk ve ürkütücü Penguen (The Penguin) karakteriyle hafızalara kazındı. Sadece oyunculuğuyla değil, kamera arkasındaki vizyonuyla da öne çıkan DeVito, kurduğu Jersey Films şirketi aracılığıyla "Ucuz Roman" (Pulp Fiction) (1994), "Get Shorty" (1995) ve "Erin Brockovich" (2000) gibi sinema tarihinin önemli yapımlarına yapımcı olarak imza attı. Yönetmenlik koltuğunda da başarı sağlayan sanatçı, kara komedi klasiği "Güllerin Savaşı" (The War of the Roses) (1989) ve çocuk edebiyatı uyarlaması "Matilda" (1996) gibi filmleri hem yönetti hem de bu filmlerde rol aldı.

2000'li yıllarda televizyona güçlü bir dönüş yapan usta oyuncu, 2006 yılında katıldığı uzun soluklu sit-com "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" dizisindeki ahlaki sınırları olmayan Frank Reynolds karakteriyle kült bir statüye ulaştı ve yeni nesil izleyicilerin de hayranlığını kazandı. Seslendirme sanatçısı olarak da "Herkül" (1997) animasyonundaki Philoctetes ve "Loraks" (2012) filmindeki Loraks karakterlerine kendine has sesiyle hayat verdi. Danny DeVito, kendine özgü fiziği, enerjik komedi tarzı ve başarılı yapımcılık kariyeriyle Hollywood'un en saygın ve çok yönlü figürlerinden biri olarak çalışmalarını sürdürmektedir.
