Ana de Armas receives major compliments in the Madame Figaro interview by Christelle Laffin, who writes:

“She has guts, she knows how to play everything. It was time for us to realize that.” Usually stingy with compliments, Daniel Craig was full of praise for Ana de Armas , who played the most endearing character in At Knives Out and the twirling and sexy James Bond girl (with her garter belts between seen in a shooting scene…) of Dying Can Wait. In two films by his side, the ex-007 joined the club of fervent admirers of the lovely brunette with golden eyes. Jamie Lee Curtis, her friend since filming Knives Out, compared her to Sophia Loren, referring to her European sensibility combined with devastating sex appeal.

AOC has examined what appears to be a manufactured crisis for clickbait around Ana de Armas’ accent in ‘Blonde’ coming to Netflix in September. We share statements by supporters and the Marilyn Monroe estate, who did not officially sanction the film, but heaped nothing but praise on the film, based on the Joyce Carol Oates novel ‘Blonde’.
