Elizabeth Banks is paying tribute to Melinda Ledbetter, the late wife of the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson, whom she played in 2014’s Love & Mercy.
伊丽莎白·班克斯在2014年的电影《爱与怜悯》中饰演沙滩男孩布莱恩·威尔逊的已故妻子梅琳达·莱德贝特。
The Pitch Perfect star penned a touching post to Ledbetter, who died at age 77 on Jan. 29, on Instagram. “What an honor to know her, to be invited into her life with Brian,” Banks wrote. “She was a force. She gave me such great advice - on parenting, which house to buy, being an artist. We laughed. She had a good laugh.”
这位《完美音调》的明星在Instagram上给莱德贝特写了一篇感人的帖子，莱德贝特于1月29日去世，享年77岁。班克斯写道:“认识她，被邀请进入她和布莱恩的生活，是我的荣幸。”“她是一股力量。她给了我很多很好的建议——关于养育孩子，买哪所房子，成为一名艺术家。我们都笑了。她笑得很开心。”
“I was just thinking of her the other day when I passed the deli we used to visit,” Banks continued. “This is a reminder to reach out to people you enjoy. Tell them. Her family was her world and my heart and prayers are with them.”
班克斯继续说道:“有一天，当我路过我们经常光顾的熟食店时，我想起了她。”这是一个提醒，去接触你喜欢的人。告诉他们。她的家人就是她的世界，我的心和祈祷与他们同在。”
Wilson announced the news on social media on Tuesday. “My heart is broken," he wrote. "Melinda, my beloved wife of 28 years, passed away this morning. Our five children and I are just in tears. We are lost."
威尔逊周二在社交媒体上宣布了这一消息。“我的心都碎了，”他写道。“梅琳达，我深爱了我28年的妻子，今天早上去世了。我们的五个孩子和我都哭了。我们迷路了。”
Wilson went on to praise Ledbetter for her constant support. "Melinda was more than my wife. She was my savior," he wrote. "She gave me the emotional security I needed to have a career. She encouraged me to make the music that was closest to my heart. She was my anchor. She was everything for us. Please say a prayer for her."
威尔逊接着称赞莱德贝特一直以来的支持。梅琳达不仅仅是我的妻子。她是我的救世主，”他写道。“她给了我事业所需的情感安全感。她鼓励我去创作最贴近我内心的音乐。她是我的锚。她是我们的一切。请为她祈祷。”
Ledbetter first met Wilson in 1986, and helped initiate the chain of events that saw him removed from the care of psychologist Eugene Landy. She married the songwriter in 1995 and served as his manager from 1999 onward. They adopted five children together.
莱德贝特第一次见到威尔逊是在1986年，并帮助引发了一系列事件，导致威尔逊离开了心理学家尤金·兰迪的治疗。她于1995年嫁给了这位作曲家，并从1999年起担任他的经纪人。他们一起收养了五个孩子。
