擁吻照 藏未來妻
2012年06月19日
1945年8月14日二戰落幕，這張紐約時報廣場街頭一對男女擁吻的照片已成經典之作，但照片主角有沒有終成眷屬？上周新書《勝利之吻》宣稱兩人不僅是萍水相逢，男主角的未來妻子就是照片中站在他右肩身後傻笑的「路人甲」（圖一箭頭處，資料照片）。______________________________________________________________
當天美國水手孟多薩（George Mendonsa）初次與夢中情人佩特里約會，聽聞二戰落幕連忙跑到街上狂歡，他一見穿著護士服的牙科助理謝恩（Edith Shain）迎面走來，情不自禁擁吻她。事隔多年他妻子佩特里（圖二左，翻攝網路）對其瘋狂行徑仍有些吃味，埋怨孟多薩「從沒那樣吻過我。」http://goo.gl/r8taO

The true story behind the iconic V-J Day sailor and 'nurse' smooch
Couple is together in this timeless pic – but it’s not her he’s smooching!

They were going to Radio City Music Hall, to a 1:05 p.m. showing of “A Bell for Adano,” starring Gene Tierney as a fisherman’s daughter who falls in love with the US Army major assigned to her war-ravaged Italian village.
George and Rita never saw the end of the movie.
‘There was pounding on the doors from outside on the street,” George says. “They put the lights on and stopped the show and said, ‘The war is over, and the Japanese have surrendered.’ ”
George and Rita flew out of Radio City and right into Childs Bar, just a few blocks away. The bartenders had lined up glasses all along the bar and just kept pouring. “I popped quite a few drinks,” George says.
VINCENT DEWITT
AT PEACE: Rita Petry says she’s never been mad that on their first date, husband George Mendonsa kissed a woman he thought was a nurse to celebrate the end of WWII.
Then he and Rita went to Times Square, and as they crossed Seventh Avenue at 44th Street, George caught sight of a woman in a nurse’s uniform: “What I remembered about the nurses from five months earlier . . .”
Actually, George has it wrong. It had been three months before, out in the Pacific, aboard the USS The Sullivans. He’d watched on the morning of May 11 as two Japanese kamikaze planes, one after the other, smashed into the nearby USS Bunker Hill, setting off a series of explosions and killing 346 sailors (43 bodies were never recovered). George helped pull hundreds of men, some horribly burned, out of the water, and watched with awe as nurses went to work on them.
So on this joyous and unbelievable afternoon, George ran from Rita — the most beautiful girl he’d ever seen — grabbed the first nurse he saw, spun her around, dipped her and kissed her. Rita was just steps behind them, and in the photo she’s beaming.
“A lot of people want to know what I was thinking,” she says. “It was a happy day; I was grinning like an idiot. The kiss really didn’t bother me at all. If I had been engaged, maybe.”
The kiss did kind of bother someone else, though: the woman in the nurse’s uniform, Greta Zimmer, who wasn’t even a nurse. She was a 21-year-old dental assistant from Queens, who, having heard rumors about the end of the war, walked over to Times Square from her office on Lexington Avenue. George says he was so drunk, he doesn’t even remember the kiss. Greta says she’ll never forget it.
Greta Zimmer was born and raised in Austria, and in 1939, after much debate, her parents insisted that Greta and her two sisters flee to America. They were among the last refugees to make it out, and even on the afternoon of Aug. 14, as Greta read the illuminated news crawl declaring the end of the war, she had no idea where her parents were, or if they were even alive.

二戰"勝利之吻"男女主角真實身份被揭開(圖)
http://www.sznews.com 2012-05-04 14:13 深圳新聞網
1945年，為慶祝二戰勝利，一名美國水兵和一名陌生女護士在美國紐約時報廣場忘情擁吻，這一幕正巧被攝影師拍成照片，並被譽為“勝利之吻”。在新書《接吻的水兵》中，作者喬治• 加爾德里西和聯合作者勞倫斯•韋里推測，水兵的人選有4~5人，護士的則有3人，最終分析得出，現年89歲的喬治•曼多薩和格里塔•弗德曼是真正的男女主角。
1945年，為慶祝二戰勝利，一名美國水兵和一名陌生女護士在美國紐約時報廣場忘情擁吻，這一幕正巧被攝影師拍成照片，並被譽為“勝利之吻”。多年來，照片上男女主角的身份備受爭議。日前新書《接吻的水兵》證實，已揭開這兩人的真實身份現年均為89歲的喬治•曼多薩和格里塔•弗德曼。
男女主角身份有爭議
1945年8月14日，紐約街頭和廣場上到處都是慶祝二戰勝利的人群。在時報廣場上，一名水兵和一名白衣護士深情擁吻。這一幕正好被美國《生活》雜志攝影師阿爾佛雷德•艾森斯塔德及時拍攝了下來，並于同年8月27日刊登在了《生活》雜志上。從此，這張被譽為“勝利之吻”的照片廣為流傳，成為象征二戰結束的經典照片。
多年來，照片中這兩人的身份備受爭議。1979年，伊迪絲•沙因致信艾森斯塔德，稱自己就是照片中的女護士。沙因說，當時從醫院下班後，她來到時報廣場。她告訴艾森斯塔德，看到這張照片的時候，她立即認出了自己，不過那時她還是一名27歲的年輕姑娘，一時覺得很尷尬，所以沒有對任何人提起這件事。艾森斯塔德看完沙因的來信後非常激動，立即飛往加利福尼亞，以證實她確實就是照片上的女主角。
很多老兵和護士“毛遂自薦”
1980年，《生活》雜志刊登尋找“勝利之吻”男女主角的報道，一時間，很多老兵和護士紛紛聲稱就是主角，其中包括老兵卡爾•穆斯卡萊洛。穆斯卡萊洛稱當年自己僅18歲，得知日本宣布投降、二戰結束的消息後，他邀請一名戰友前往紐約市布魯克林區看望他的母親，但途中卻被大量慶祝勝利的人群攔住了去路。當他終于來到人潮洶涌的時報廣場時，他幾乎和見到的每一個女子都接了吻，卻沒有意識到自己被拍入了鏡頭。在听完穆斯卡萊洛關于親吻細節的描述後，沙因確定穆斯卡萊洛就是那名水兵。
新書揭露真實身份
然而，《生活》雜志並沒有認可兩人的說法。2010年，91歲高齡的沙因去世。據歷史學家們分析，至今已多人聲稱是照片中的男女主角，卻無法拿出確切證據。
在新書《接吻的水兵》中，作者喬治• 加爾德里西和聯合作者勞倫斯•韋里推測，水兵的人選有4~5人，護士的則有3人，最終分析得出，現年89歲的喬治•曼多薩和格里塔•弗德曼是真正的男女主角。如今曼多薩居住在羅德島，弗德曼居住在馬里蘭。
接吻時女友在一旁
新書透露，曼多薩當天正和女友麗塔•佩特里在位于時報廣場的無線電音樂城約會。由于在二戰期間，他曾目睹護士們對受傷水兵的照顧。于是，在當天濃烈的慶祝氣氛下，他忍不住大聲喊著“戰爭終于結束了”，並決定親吻他在無線電音樂城遇見的第一位護士。後來，他遇見並親吻了弗德曼。
“兩人事後就分開了，沒有互相認識。”加爾德里西說。踫巧的是，當曼多薩親吻弗德曼時，佩特里恰好站在男友的右手邊。盡管如此，佩特里後來成為曼多薩的妻子。
據說兩人後來曾見過幾次面，卻沒有重演“勝利之吻”那一刻。

二戰勝利日之吻 美水兵86歲逝
中央社 – 2014年3月15日 上午9:08
（中央社德州奧斯汀14日綜合外電報導）1名美國年輕水兵在紐約時報廣場（Times Square）興奮擁吻女護士的黑白照片，是慶祝二戰勝利的經典鏡頭。照片中男主角本月9日辭世，享壽86歲。
水兵麥克達菲（Glenn Edward McDuffie）的女兒告訴紐約「每日新聞」（Daily News），86歲的父親9日稍早在德州賭場心臟病發作，隨後辭世。
麥克達菲在2007年告訴德州「休士頓紀事報」（Houston Chronicle），1945年8月盟軍打敗日本，當年18歲的他在親吻這名護士前，從沒和這名女子說上話。
麥克達菲說：「當我出了地鐵車廂，1名女士告訴我戰爭結束了，我衝到街上歡呼，接著我就看到這名護士，她對著我微笑，於是我就摟著她親。」這一刻被「生活」（Life）雜誌的記者拍下，成為慶祝二戰勝利的經典鏡頭。
麥克達菲晚年健康狀況不佳，他的女兒貝爾（Glenda Bell）告訴「休士頓紀事報」，每當有女性要求和父親重演這一幕時，父親就會在她們臉頰輕輕親一下。（譯者：中央社陳怡君）1030315

「二戰之吻」經典照 女主角辭世享壽92歲
2016年09月11日08:21
第二次世界大戰結束時，攝影師艾森斯塔特在美國紐約的時報廣場，拍下一名美國海軍水手興奮擁吻女護士畫面，已成歷史經典照片，照片中的女主角，與海軍擁吻的女子佛里德曼上周四在美國維吉尼亞州去世，享壽92歲。在1945年8月14日，當年21歲任職牙醫助理的弗里德曼（Greta Zimmer Friedman)，聽到戰爭結束的消息，跑到診所附近的時報廣場慶祝，見到身穿制服的海軍孟多薩（George Mendonsa），她欣喜若狂與他擁吻起來，《生活》（Life）週刊攝影記者艾森斯塔特（Alfred Eisenstaedt）捕捉到這激情一刻，拍下這幅20世紀其一最震動人心的照片。多年來不少人都宣稱自己才是照片中的主角，事後經海軍學院以3D臉部掃描辨識，認定孟多薩是相片中的海軍，而攝影師也認為佛里德曼才是女主角。佛里德曼2005年受訪時曾表示，當年她根本不認識孟多薩，也沒交換姓名，只是因為想到軍人不用重回太平洋戰場，真心為他高興，親吻慶祝戰爭結束。現年93歲的孟多薩是退休漁民，現居於羅得島，佛里德曼的亡夫是退休軍人，她將下葬阿靈頓國家公墓其夫墓旁。。（國際中心／綜合外電報導）

Greta Zimmer Friedman, Nurse From WWII 'Kiss' Photo, Dies At 92
CP By The Associated Press
Posted: 09/10/2016 6:44 pm EDT Updated: 3 hours ago
NEW YORK — The woman who was kissed by an ecstatic sailor in Times Square celebrating the end of World War II has died at the age of 92.
Greta Zimmer Friedman's son says his mother died Thursday at a hospital in Richmond, Virginia. She died from complications of old age, he said.
Friedman was a 21-year-old dental assistant in a nurse's uniform on Aug. 14, 1945, known as V-J Day, the day the Japanese surrendered. People spilled out into the streets from restaurants, bars and movie theatres in New York City when they heard the news. That's when George Mendonsa spotted Friedman, spun her around and planted a kiss on her. The two had never met.
In fact, Mendonsa was on a date with an actual nurse, Rita Petry, who would later become his wife.

The photo by Alfred Eisenstaedt is called "V-J Day in Times Square'' but is known to most the world over as simply, "The Kiss.'' Mendonsa says that in some photos of the scene, Petry could be seen smiling in the background.
The photo was first published in Life, buried deep within the magazine's pages. Over the years, the photo gained recognition, and several people claimed to be the kissing couple. In an August 1980 issue of Life, 11 men and three women said they were the subjects. It was years until Mendonsa and Friedman were confirmed to be the couple.
Joshua Friedman says his mother recalled it all happening in an instant.
"It wasn't that much of a kiss,'' Friedman said in an interview with the Veterans History Project in 2005. "It was just somebody celebrating. It wasn't a romantic event.''

Nurse Kissed by Sailor in Iconic Times Square V-J Day Photo Has Died: Reports

Greta Zimmer Friedman – the nurse who was famously kissed by a sailor in one of the most iconic photographs on the 20th century – died Thursday in Virginia at the age of 92, according to several reports.
Her son, Joshua Friedman, confirmed the news of his mother's passing to NBC and CBS, saying she died of pneumonia which she developed at an assisted living facility where she lived for the past two years.
The kiss was captured by photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt on Aug. 14, 1945 – the day Japan surrendered to the Allies. Published in LIFE magazine a few weeks later, the shot went on to become the symbol for the end of World War II.
But Zimmer Friedman's role in the photo was not planned.
Then a 21-year-old dental assistant living in New York, she wandered into Times Square while on break to see whether the rumors of Japan's surrender were true, The New York Daily News reported. President Harry S. Truman had not yet made the official announcement of Japan's surrender, but people appeared to be flooding the New York streets in celebration.
As she entered Times Squaret, 22-year-old sailor George Mendonsa grabbed her and kissed her.
"I did not see him approaching, and before I know it I was in this vice grip,” Friedman told CBS News correspondent Michelle Miller in 2012.

Their identities remained unknown over the years, as several men and women claimed to be the couple. But authors George Galdorisi and Lawrence Verria used forensic analysis and photographic interpretation to determine Mendonsa and Zimmer Friedman's as the official pair.
Zimmer Friedman and Mendonsa, now 93, had met again in 1980, when LIFE set out an open call to determine the identities of the kissing couple. They reunited in 2012 for CBS News, after Galdorisi and Verria's book, The Kissing Sailor: The Mystery Behind the Photo that Ended World War II, published.
"I realized the photo means a lot to so many people," Zimmer Friedman told NBC News. "My mother always felt like it wasn't anything she did – it was something that happened to her."
Ironically, Mendonsa was on a date with another girl at the time of the his kiss with Zimmer Friedman. That woman – Rita Petry – would go on to marry Mendonsa. The two live in Middletown, Rhode Island – roughly 180 miles northeast of Times Square, CNN reports.

「勝利之吻」水手辭世 享壽95歲 二戰名照成追憶
出版時間：2019/02/20
【蔡文英╱綜合外電報導】美國攝影師艾森斯塔特1945年8月14日攝於紐約時報廣場的一張美國海軍水手擁吻女子照片，成了象徵二次世界大戰結束的經典照，照片男主角孟杜薩（George Mendonsa）周日過世，享壽95歲。
約會對象面前吻別人
孟杜薩的女兒莫勒表示，父親在96歲生日的前兩天在羅德島過世。這張照片在《生活》（LIFE）雜誌刊出後受到矚目，許多人都聲稱是那個水手，經各方求證和高科技比對後，認定孟杜薩才是本尊。
孟杜薩晚年曾提及當年那一吻，當時22歲的他結束在太平洋的任務放假，跟後來成為妻子的麗塔第一次約會，聽到群眾大喊：「戰爭結束了！」他們在一家酒吧停下腳步，他喝了一些酒。離開酒吧後，「我看到這名護士，回想起醫療船上照料傷兵的護士」，「我喝了點酒，我猜是出於本能，就摟住她。」事後證明那位護士是牙醫助理佛里曼（Greta Friedman）。
佛里曼已在2016年辭世，享壽92歲。佛里曼生前曾指，孟杜薩走過來便擁吻她，「那只是兩人在慶祝，並不是浪漫的一幕」。麗塔多年前受訪時稱，她看到約會對象吻著別的女生，「我無所謂」，「那不是真的吻。」

「勝利之吻」男主角剛過世...雕像遭用紅漆塗上「#MeToo」
2019-02-20 17:06
〔即時新聞／綜合報導〕第二次大戰結束當下，一名美軍水手在時代廣場上擁吻女護士的畫面被拍下，可說是終戰經典照片之一，甚至豎立雕像以滋紀念。就在該名水手，95歲的門多薩（George Mendonsa）近日過世後，這張「勝利之吻」再度大量曝光。隨著近年女權主義高漲，反對性騷擾的女權運動「#MeToo」在全球延燒，如今就連「勝利之吻」也受到波及，女主角雕像被用紅漆漆上「#MeToo」。
綜合外媒報導，在門多薩離世消息傳出後，坐落在佛州薩拉索塔的「勝利之吻」雕像，女角左小腿遭人用紅漆漆上「#MeToo」，由於受損面積不小，警方估計得花1000美元修補。最後在當地時間週二早上完成修復。
「勝利之吻」攝於1945年8月14日、日本宣布無條件投降當天，服役於美軍驅逐艦、當時正好休假的門多薩，在擠滿慶祝人群的時報廣場上，熱吻不曾謀面的牙科助理佛萊曼，剛好被攝影師艾森斯塔捕捉下來。
直到近年，部分人士批評門多薩在未經同意下親吻佛萊曼已屬性侵，掀起了一陣激辯。有人認為，「性侵害很糟糕，但『勝利之吻』絕不是這種情況」、「很遺憾發生這種事，尤其是男主角才剛過世」。另一派人則說，「不是要斷言女方感覺自己是個受害者，但這確實是一次非自願的性相關行為」、「#MeToo的教育意義在於理解女人不再是男人想要就要的玩物。」
