Penélope Cruz Rewrites Fairy Tales, Lensed By Cedric Buchet For Porter Edit February 16, 2018
Actor and activist Penélope Cruz talks to Mark Smith about her process of becoming Donatella Versace for her US TV debut as the sister of murdered designer Gianni Versace. Cruz is happy to be back in Madrid, after living in London last winter during the filming of Kenneth Branagh's 'Murder on the Orient Express'. Cruz says she's constitutionally unsuited to gray days and an early nightfall, as it affects her brain.
Cruz became the first spanish woman to win an Academy Award, for her 2008 role in Vicky Cristina Barcelona, a film written and directed by Woody Allen and produced by Harvey Weinstein. We'll talk Cruz's Hollywood women experience in another post, but must share Penelope's resourceful way of dealing with gender roles between her own daughter and son.
“Fairy tales matter so much because these are the first stories that you hear from the mouths of your parents,” she says. “So, when I read fairy tales to my kids at night, I’m always changing the endings – always, always, always, always. F*****g Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty and all of this – there’s a lot of machismo in those stories. That can have an effect on the way that kids see the world. If you’re not careful, they start thinking: ‘Oh, so the men get to decide everything.’”
Cruz’s subversive fairy-tale heroines, she says, are prone to declining proposals of marriage, or making the proposals themselves. An example? “In my version of Cinderella, when the prince says, ‘Do you wanna marry?’ she says, ‘No, thanks, ’cos I don’t want to be a princess. I want to be an astronaut, or a chef.’” Cruz laughs wickedly and closes an imaginary book.

Deepika Padukone Wears Rainbow Colors In Mazen Abusrour Images For Vogue India February 2018

Deepika Padukone wears a smile even though she's lived with constant death threats and insults to her character for months now, embroiled in protests against the movie 'Padmavati'. Hindu nationalists put a $1.5 million bounty on Padukone's head, for disgracing -- in their opinion -- the 14th century Hindu queen, a fictional heroine envisioned by the 16th-century poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi. AOC will follow up today, but the movie has opened in India, as ordered by the Supreme Court. While there have been protests, the mass suicide of Hindu women did not go off as promised.

Mr and Mrs Smith describe the El Fenn in Marrakech, Morocco: "A 28-room labyrinth with three sheltered courtyards, El Fenn hotel is a serene, shady enclosure that offers an art-gallery-worthy respite from the outside world of bustling Marrakech. Lanterns light a sultry courtyard with a marble fountain in this colourful, avante-garde hideaway, complete with carved antique wood doors and a well-stocked library. Modern statement pieces sit pretty amid restored original features (filigree plasterwork, wrought-iron detailing), thanks to the light touch of architect Amine Kabbaj. The hotel's earned its many 'most stylish' accolades, but it's more cosy hideaway than catwalk, with a petite pool and a cushion-lined roof terrace."
