He and his band earned as much as 60,000 dollars each week. That was a huge amount of money then. However, the fame caused problems for Shaw. He could not go anywhere without being recognized. He no longer had a private life.
Artie Shaw was married eight times. Two of his wives were Lana Turner and Ava Gardner. They were the most famous and beautiful Hollywood actresses of that time. Those marriages increased his fame and made it even harder to have a private life. The fame may have helped lead to the failure of his marriages.亚提·萧在录制《Begin the Beguine》之前就已经相当有名了。但这首曲子使他风头更盛了。他和他的乐队每周都能挣上6万美元。在那个时候,这可是一笔巨款了。但是名声也给他带来了不少的麻烦。他到哪儿都会被别人认出来,他再也没有私人的生活了。亚提·萧总共结了8次婚,其中两位妻子——Lana Turner和Ava Gardner,还是当时非常漂亮、非常著名的好莱坞影星。这些婚姻又进一步提高了亚提·萧的知名度,也让他更难得到私人的空间了。名声可能直接导致了他失败的婚姻。
