Elizabeth Banks is paying tribute to Melinda Ledbetter, the late wife of the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson, whom she played in 2014’s Love & Mercy.
伊麗莎白·班克斯在2014年的電影《愛與憐憫》中飾演沙灘男孩布萊恩·威爾遜的已故妻子梅琳達(dá)·萊德貝特。
The Pitch Perfect star penned a touching post to Ledbetter, who died at age 77 on Jan. 29, on Instagram. “What an honor to know her, to be invited into her life with Brian,” Banks wrote. “She was a force. She gave me such great advice - on parenting, which house to buy, being an artist. We laughed. She had a good laugh.”
這位《完美音調(diào)》的明星在Instagram上給萊德貝特寫了一篇感人的帖子,萊德貝特于1月29日去世,享年77歲。班克斯寫道:“認(rèn)識(shí)她,被邀請(qǐng)進(jìn)入她和布萊恩的生活,是我的榮幸。”“她是一股力量。她給了我很多很好的建議——關(guān)于養(yǎng)育孩子,買哪所房子,成為一名藝術(shù)家。我們都笑了。她笑得很開心。”
“I was just thinking of her the other day when I passed the deli we used to visit,” Banks continued. “This is a reminder to reach out to people you enjoy. Tell them. Her family was her world and my heart and prayers are with them.”
班克斯繼續(xù)說道:“有一天,當(dāng)我路過我們經(jīng)常光顧的熟食店時(shí),我想起了她。”這是一個(gè)提醒,去接觸你喜歡的人。告訴他們。她的家人就是她的世界,我的心和祈禱與他們同在。”
Wilson announced the news on social media on Tuesday. “My heart is broken," he wrote. "Melinda, my beloved wife of 28 years, passed away this morning. Our five children and I are just in tears. We are lost."
威爾遜周二在社交媒體上宣布了這一消息。“我的心都碎了,”他寫道。“梅琳達(dá),我深愛了我28年的妻子,今天早上去世了。我們的五個(gè)孩子和我都哭了。我們迷路了。”
Wilson went on to praise Ledbetter for her constant support. "Melinda was more than my wife. She was my savior," he wrote. "She gave me the emotional security I needed to have a career. She encouraged me to make the music that was closest to my heart. She was my anchor. She was everything for us. Please say a prayer for her."
威爾遜接著稱贊萊德貝特一直以來的支持。梅琳達(dá)不僅僅是我的妻子。她是我的救世主,”他寫道。“她給了我事業(yè)所需的情感安全感。她鼓勵(lì)我去創(chuàng)作最貼近我內(nèi)心的音樂。她是我的錨。她是我們的一切。請(qǐng)為她祈禱。”
Ledbetter first met Wilson in 1986, and helped initiate the chain of events that saw him removed from the care of psychologist Eugene Landy. She married the songwriter in 1995 and served as his manager from 1999 onward. They adopted five children together.
萊德貝特第一次見到威爾遜是在1986年,并幫助引發(fā)了一系列事件,導(dǎo)致威爾遜離開了心理學(xué)家尤金·蘭迪的治療。她于1995年嫁給了這位作曲家,并從1999年起擔(dān)任他的經(jīng)紀(jì)人。他們一起收養(yǎng)了五個(gè)孩子。
