I've collected so many of these Hollywood Issues through the years - just one of the best issue of the year by Vanity Fair. Love discovering new actors and getting a teaser of who they are...and was happy to see this year's cover, when half of the group are actors that I have enjoyed watching and will most likely continue to do so. It's a cliche, but have always been a fan of the idea of Hollywood, especially old school Hollywood when all bad in the background was so hush hush but from an outside point of view, looked so pretty and nice. The idea of making it was, is just such a dream and the drive of surviving.
Year after year, there is always a cover and then two side panels which unfold into this incredible shot of such talented people who are so different in many ways and express creative talents through different roles, projects, philanthropy, etc.
This year, I'm extremely delighted with the talented, talented, talented group on the cover ...the sexy sweet super funny Ryan Reynolds, the serious, charming, handsome but yet playful Jake Gyllenhaal, the pretty, multi-layer who keeps surpassing every step Anne Hathaway and of course the James Dean of our generation, funny, complicated but oozes coolness James Franco.
Unfold the rest of the cover and the next actor is the young but fresh newcomer Jennifer Lawrence, the adorable but constant performer Anthony Mackie, the rising star Olivia Wilde, the quiet New Yorker who no one saw coming (well, I saw him coming) Jesse Eisenberg, the beautiful and funny Mila Kunis. Continuing on.... the legendary, iconic, wonderful Mr. Robert Duvall, the super cute, funny and intelligent Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the rising newcomer Andrew Garfield, the cute but funny, smart Rashida Jones, the rough, sweet, determined Garrett Hedlund and finally the tough new beauty Noomi Rapace.
I know some of you might not be familiar with everyone on this cover but one or two might fade away either they decide to stay behind the cameras instead of center stage or some just rather do something else creatively or some completely remove themselves from
"Hollywood". Whatever happens...at the end of the day, it's a classy cover, very glamorous, very
Hollywood. If you can, go pick up the issue -- they are always a good read!
