Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel was born in France in 1883. She had a very poor upbringing. Her mother worked in the poorhouse where Gabrielle was born. When she was six, her mother died, and then her father abandoned her.

She adopted the name Coco while she was a café singer in 1905. Two lovers funded her first store in Paris in 1910. They also helped her hats become popular with rich women.

In the 1920s, Chanel rose to become Paris’ top fashion designer. Her comfortable yet elegant clothes were popular across Europe. Women found her mannish clothes to be liberating. In 1922, Chanel introduced her perfume, Chanel No. 5, which is still highly profitable.

At the beginning of World War II, she moved into the Ritz Hotel in Paris, which became her home for 30 years. During the Nazi occupation of Paris, she had a lover, a German spy. This relationship made her unpopular for a decade after the war. Her 1954 collection did badly in France.

She died in 1971. However, her famous Chanel suit has also stood the test of time and is part of the modern woman’s wardrobe. Today, her name is the biggest in fashion.

The audio “Jackie Chan” is in the learning guide space

Jackie Chan is a true action movie great. He has appeared in dozens of movies and is a screen legend. He had a simple beginning as a Chinese refugee in Hong Kong. His early years were, perhaps, a sign of things to come. His parents nicknamed him ‘Pao-Pao’, which meanns cannonball, because he had so much energy. Chan enrolled in the China Drama Academy to study opera while still in his teens. He spent ten years there and worked part-time as a stuntman in the kung fu industry. He soon earned the reputation as Hong Kong’s most fearless stuntman. He moved into acting, but his first two films were both flops. He quit the movie business and moved to Australia. Several years later, director Ng Than Chan asked Jackie to appear in the movies ‘Snake in Eagle's Shadow’ and ‘Drunken Master’. Both were smash hits at the box office and Jackie Chan was now a star in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, a former director tried to tie Chan to an old contract. He sent the Hong Kong mafia to Chan’s movie sets to frighten him. Chan moved to Hollywood. He was not successful in Hollywood, so he returned to Hong Kong. He learnt a lot about moviemaking while in America and used this knowledge to make many successful movies for the Chinese market. He also became a pop star. He returned to Hollywood and made the movie ‘Rush Hour’ in _1998_. It made him a worldwide star.
