Biography

Darlène Love, Darlene Wright, est née le 26 juillet 1941 à Los Angeles en Californie. Elle est la fille aînée d'Ellen Wright, une employée de maison et de Joe Wright, un prédicateur pentecôtiste et ouvrier du bâtiment.

Dans les années 1960 elle fut la chanteuse soliste des Blossoms à la grande époque du Wall of sound de Phil Spector avant d’entamer une carrière solo. Très souvent choriste chez les plus grands, elle participa à l'album A Christmas Gift for You produit par Phil Spector en 1963 ou elle chante son plus grand hit Christmas (Baby Please Come Home). Dans les années 1980 on l'a vu au cinéma dans le rôle de Trish Murtaugh, femme du policier Roger Murtaugh (joué par Danny Glover) dans les quatre films de L'Arme fatale.

Elle a participé à la bande son du film Maman j'ai encore raté l'avion, pour la chanson All Alone On Christmas, dont un extrait passe lorsque Kevin McAllister visite New York. Et un extrait de cette musique passe dans le film Love Actually.

En 2011 elle est introduite au Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. En 2013 elle apparait dans Twenty feet from stardom présenté au festival de Sundance qui aura l'oscar du meilleur film documentaire. En 2015 elle sort l' album Introducing Darlene Love ou elle est accompagnée par Steven Van Zandt et le E Street Band avec des chansons écrites par Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt , Joan Jett et Jimmy Webb. On retrouve aussi une reprise de River Deep, Mountain High qu'elle a souvent chanté en concert.

Après sept ans d’absence pour cause de carrière au cinéma – et de fameux nanars –, Elvis, 33 ans, revient pour la première fois sur scène en 1968 lors d’un show télévisé resté dans les annales. À l’époque, ses disques se font rares et, à l’heure du succès planétaire d’autres légendes, des Doors à Jimi Hendrix, le King semble appartenir à l’histoire du rock plus qu’à son actualité. Alors que le show doit à l’origine célébrer Noël sur NBC, le réalisateur Steve Binder, qui assiste aux répétitions, a l’idée inspirée de capter cet Elvis-là, au plus près de son âme et de sa musique, plutôt que de filmer une prestation cathodique formatée sous une pluie de guirlandes. Ayant réussi à convaincre la production, il enregistre dans la foulée un extraordinaire show intime en studio. Détendu, le rocker au timbre irrésistible s’y livre entièrement, entre retour aux sources – blues, gospel et rock’n’roll – et franche rigolade avec ses comparses musiciens.

Lorna Cole (Rene Russo) is pregnant with LAPD sergeant Martin Riggs' baby; they are not married, but both are thinking about it. Police sergeant Roger Murtaugh's daughter Rianne (Tracie Wolfe), is also pregnant, and Riggs later learns from Lorna that Rianne has secretly married Lee Butters (Chris Rock), a young detective who works at the same station as Murtaugh and Riggs – secretly because Roger had made it clear that he does not want his daughter to marry a police officer. Due to the many disasters caused by both sergeants while on duty, the police department has lost its insurance carrier, and cannot get a new one while they're still out on the streets. Because firing them is not an option, the Chief uses a special privilege and they get temporarily promoted to captains, given that there aren't any lieutenant spots available.

L.A.P.D. Sergeants Martin Riggs (Gibson) and Roger Murtaugh (Glover) arrive at an evacuated building believed to have a bomb in it. Against orders, they go inside to investigate the bomb. Riggs decides to deactivate the bomb himself instead of waiting for the Bomb Squad to arrive. Unfortunately, he causes the bomb to detonate and the whole building to collapse. This causes them to be demoted to uniform duties, which upsets Murtaugh because he only has seven days until retirement. While on street patrol, the two thwart a robbery using a duplicate armored car, although they only manage to catch one of the two would-be thieves. During the arrest, it is discovered the criminals were armed with a new type of armor-piercing bullet, informally referred to as "cop killers". For their efforts in stopping the raid, Riggs and Murtaugh are reinstated as Detective Sergeants by their superior, Captain Murphy (Kahan). Murphy introduces internal affairs Sergeant Lorna Cole (Russo) to the two detectives and informs them that the suspect they have in custody from the raid is a known associate of former L.A.P.D. Lieutenant and suspected arms dealer: Jack Travis (Wilson).
