Okay, I have a girl crush on Penelope Cruz. My feelings were cemented when I saw her in Vicky Cristina Barcelona. She was brilliant, so brilliant in fact that I felt almost sorry for Scarlett Johansson because she was not even close to okay - trying to keep up with P's firey, passionate character, it was sad. I love Penelope even more because she is with Javier Bardem - finally a real man, a beautiful man not like the moment in time when she was with Tom Cruise (we all have are bad days). And, now Penelope is about ready to explode all over the big screen in 3 new movies. First, she will be appearing in the new Sex in the City - not a lead role but an important role and she be all Latina and fantastic. Then, Broken Embraces (top photo), not a great movie but what it lacks in story it more then makes up for with fabulous set design - complete eye candy. And then there is Nine - out December 25 - I can't wait. Also starring Daniel Day Lewis, Judy Dench, Nicole Kidman and Marion Cotillard. Sadly, some how Kate Hudson also slipped her insipid self into this movie which is a big ol' head-scratcher to me but I'm certain she'll simply fade into the background of the other wonderful performances.
I love her too! Have you seen her in Volver? Awesome film! Great post, Lynda :)
