Formerly known
as "The Madonna
of Madrid," Penélope
Cruz
turned from beautiful ballerina to buxom film star in the
Spanish-lensed international arthouse smash Jamón,
jamón
(1992). Other European hits followed, and Pen made the leap to
Hollywood with Woman
on Top
(2000), followed by All
the Pretty Horses
(2000) and Captain
Corelli's Mandolin
(2001). Vanilla
Sky
(2001) is director Cameron
Crowe's
remake of the Spanish sci-fi mind and wad blower Obre
las ojas
(1997). Penélope starred in both versions, but she took up
with Vanilla
guy Tom
Cruise
in one of the least-wondered about Hollywood couplings in recent years. |
