address they found on an album of a popular French singer. The

address was that of Rene Angelil, who became her first 4) conquest, but there would be millions more.

Celine’s rise from a teenage singer to a pop superstar has been

5) steady, but not without difficulties. Record companies were at

first less 6) enthusiastic about 7) investing in a teenager than Angelil,

16

who mortgaged his own home to pay for her first album. But her

first two albums won a great success. And by 1983 she became the

Academy award. 9) In 1996 she performed at the opening ceremony of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games and in 1997 she recorded the

Vera Wang has become a 1) significant figure in the

American fashion industry in a 2) relatively short period of time. She has no formal design training because her father wouldn’t

let her go to art school and wanted her to 3) concentrate on more

“practical subjects”. After earning a degree in 4) liberal arts,

Vera worked as an 5) editor at Vogue for

17 years and as a

design director of Ralph Lauren for two years. In 1990 she

opened her first boutique on Madison Avenue in New York, in a

less expensive line of 6) ready-to-wear bridal and evening

dresses. She chose bridal wear for she wanted to build a fashion

company starting with one market and then 7) expand into

others. She became a household name in 1994 when she

designed stylish costumes for figure skater Nancy Kerrigan to wear in the Winter Olympics.

8) Vera Wang herself is a very good skater and she had

Olympic dreams too. But that dream was crushed when she did

not win at the National Figure Skating Championships in 1968.

9) However her love for the sport never ceased. “I wanted to

make an artistic contribution to the sport,” she said. 10) “I don’t

know if designing costumes for Nancy has been good in terms

20

of actual sales, but it has been tremendous for name recognition.”
