Before Hollywood
这里的“star in movies”是“在电影中担任主演”的意思,是star的动词用法,“星星”和“明星”词义用得多且常见。
“marry sb”=be married to,注意是to不是with啊。
Grace Kelly rose to fame as a leading Hollywood actress following her prominent role in High Noon. Who Was Grace Kelly?
这里的rise to fame=become famous,以后写famous时要想起用fame表达。
leading Hollywood actress是“好莱坞女主角”的意思,去掉Hollywood,leading actress或者leading actor,即“女主角/男主角”,介绍和播放电视剧电影的时候经常会用到一个词——“领衔主演”,意思差不多。
又见following,意思同after。
