人物：蕾妮占据舞台中心(2)

"Renée has been through a long and storied career in Hollywood like Garland had and I'm sure carries her own glories and scars from that period," Goold adds.

“蕾妮和加兰一样，在好莱坞经历了漫长而传奇的职业生涯，我相信她也带着那段时期的荣耀和伤痕，”戈尔德补充道。

"I think she was probably mining some of that as well."

“我想她可能也在挖掘其中的一些。”

Growing up in Katy, Texas, with a Swiss father and Norwegian mother, Zellweger had every intention of becoming a journalist until she took a drama class at the University of Texas and was hooked.

齐薇格在德克萨斯州的凯蒂长大，父亲是瑞士人，母亲是挪威人。她一直想成为一名记者，直到她在德克萨斯大学(University of Texas)上了一门戏剧课，被吸引住了。

She won her first roles in 1993's Dazed and Confused and Texas Chainsaw Massacre¹: The Next Generation before making the move to L.A.;

她在1993年出演了《年少轻狂》和《德克萨斯电锯杀人狂：下一代》，之后搬到洛杉矶；

she was working as a bartending assistant when she was cast in 1996's Jerry Maguire, prompting a deluge² of memorable³ roles including the Bridget Jonestrilogy and 2003's Cold Mountain, for which she won an Oscar.

1996年出演《甜心先生》时，她是一名调酒助理，这促使她出演了大量令人难忘的角色，包括《BJ单身日记》和2003年的《冷山》，她凭借《冷山》获得了奥斯卡奖。

Along the way she had high-profile romances with Bradley Cooper, Jack⁴ White, Kenny Chesney (they were briefly⁵ married) and Jim Carrey.

在此期间，她与布莱德利·库珀、杰克·怀特、肯尼·切斯尼(他们曾有过短暂的婚姻)和金·凯瑞有过高调的恋情。

When she decided⁶ to pull back from acting⁷ in 2010, "there wasn't a reason not to," she told People in 2016.

当她在2010年决定退出演艺圈时，“没有理由不这么做，”她在2016年告诉《人物》(People)杂志。

"I didn't have children or an established relationship that dictated⁸ I make different choices.

“我没有孩子，也没有稳定关系让我必须做出不同选择。

And because of the choices I was making and the life that I was living, I had no time to develop that."

因为我所做的选择和我所过的生活，我没有时间去发展它。”

Away from the spotlight⁹ she learned "that I like being privately¹⁰ creative very much," she says. "Then it was high time to get a dog again."

离开聚光灯后，她意识到“我非常喜欢在私下里进行创作，”她说。“现在又该养狗了。”

Now the actress finds peace and solace¹¹ in the simplicities¹² of everyday life at her house in a quiet canyon¹³ in L.A.

如今，这位女演员在洛杉矶一个安静峡谷的家中，从简单的日常生活中找到了平静和安慰。

"If ever you've had a bad day, normalcy is pretty damn good," she says. Zellweger credits her family for keeping her most grounded. "And the dogs certainly help," she adds.

她说：“如果你有过糟糕的一天，那么‘正常’是相当不错的。”齐薇格感谢她的家人让她最踏实。“狗当然也有帮助，”她补充道。

"Just little reminders¹⁴ of what's truly valuable." Currently single—she recently split from musician Doyle Bramhall II—Zellweger has learned that love "kind of stays," she says.

“它只是提醒我们什么才是真正有价值的。”齐薇格最近刚和音乐家道尔·布拉姆霍尔二世分手，目前单身。齐薇格说，她已经懂得爱是“一种永恒”。

"And that over time, even when you think it's gone, reflecting on it, it's still very much there. It's kind of great, actually."

“随着时间的推移，即使你认为它已经消失，回想起来，它仍然存在。实际上，这很好。”

Moments of bliss¹⁵ for the actress are now mostly experienced at home with her pups by her side.

对这位女演员来说，幸福的时刻现在大多是在家里和她的小狗们一起经历的。

"Just yesterday I was playing the piano, and I was looking at Chester and Ellie looking at me," she says.

“就在昨天，我还在弹钢琴，看着切斯特和埃莉看着我，”她说。

"The sun was setting, that pink sky. And I was just thinking, 'Yeah, we're good.'"

“夕阳西下，粉红色的天空。我只是在想，‘是的，我们很好。’”
