Anniversary of Marie Antoinette's demise

16 October 1793 is the day Marie Antoinette passed away, not a fan of necrolatry, but her figure as Dauphine de France, Marie Antoinette Josèphe Jeanne de Habsbourg-Lorraine, Archduchess of Austria and the Queen of France and Navarre is legendary and was portraited so graciously by the incomparable Kirsten Dunst in "Marie Antoinette" (2006) directed by Sophia Coppola."This month marks the anniversary of her death by guillotine in Paris under the orders of the Revolutionary Tribunal in 1793; an exhibit at the Rivoli Castle in Turin commemorates her role as a literary muse and beauty icon of her times. Both fiercely loved and harshly criticized, she was considered one of the 18th Century’s most beautiful women. Her clothes and hairstyles were observed and imitated by women in refined circles throughout the European continent, and when Marie Antoinette adopted a new look, aristocratic ladies immediately followed her hints. The complex character of this woman and Queen has been the subject of and inspiration for a multitude of films-“The Autrichienne” starring Ute Lemper to “The Affair of the Necklace” (2001) starring Joely Richardson and books – both historical and fictional – and are often narrated from the point of view of her ladies-in-waiting who were privy to a private glimpse of this royal icon.
Her sumptuous outfits, hats, gloves, feathers and her favorite “macarons” the typicall French pastry she loved, were practically supporting characters in Sofia Coppola’s film “Marie Antoinette”, where the title role was interpreted by a multi-faceted Kirsten Dunst who proved her exceptional acting ability by transmitting the often conflicting sides of the young Queen. The breathtaking set design helped make the film become an immediate cult title.Modern fashion, of course, has also continued to play homage to the most envied woman of the 1700s: Christian Louboutin gave the name “Marie Antoinette” to his pump, La Perla evokes her style with their Corset collection, as does the new Twelve8Twelve line from Sienna and Savannah Miller. Marie Antoinette originally had a predilection for the popular Rococo style, but eventually came to favor a more elegant and understated look. It is clear that Marie Antoinette is still absolutely relevant to contemporary culture and we like to imagine her as an “It girl” of today": Source: www.thenewyooxer.yoox.com

"This dress was for Marie Antoinette. The dress dates back to the 1780's satin fabric, silk floral embroidery, ribbon appliqués, spangles and glass stones. Due to its delicate nature, the dress can only be exposed to light for short periods of time.Hats and hair 'poufs' were also designed by Bertin, including the famous the the "Belle Poule", which was also in the Marie Antoinette movie starring Kirsten Dunst.Bertin was also nicknamed the 'Minister for fashion' by critics of the french monarchy and spent many hours in talks with "Marie Antoinette".

James Franco: A Consummate New Yorker

James Franco and Freida Giannini (creative director of Gucci), on the cover of "i-D" Magazine - Fall 2009.

James Franco interviewed by Lauren Collins at The New Yorker Festival in Cedar Lake Theatre, October 17, 2009.
"Lauren Collins introduced and addressed Franco as an actor, director, poet, writer, art collector, and “exhausted grad student.” What makes Franco even more impressive, though, is the great length he goes to read about and research a role, project or hobby before he dives in. For his part on “Freaks and Geeks,” for instance, he visited the Detroit high school that served as the inspiration for the show. Franco said that when the show got canceled, he was excited to be able to pursue other shows and movies, without being tied down to one role.
It was on that show that Franco began to emerge as a stoner icon. During his own teenage years, he played the part of mischievous “Ted” Franco. Now, well after he has outgrown his adolescence, Franco stated that people assume — based on his demeanor and speech, no doubt — that he’s still one of them. He said he doesn’t mind this presumption because it means they assume he’s a fun, likable person. For “Pineapple Express” Judd Apatow welcomed Franco’s contributions. However, earlier in his career, Franco says that people found his impulsiveness to be annoying and unbefitting. But over time, he’s accepted that actors don’t collaborate on the creative process from the start.“I went on to make some good movies and then I made some bad movies.” After leaving television, James Franco acknowledges he’s had an uneven film career
“There’s something about [Allen] Ginsburg that’s still hip”
- James Franco says it was easy to prepare for Howl because he read a good deal of the Beats in high school

“It’s kind of like acting. When I had a different mask or mouthpiece, stuff came out easier.”
- James Franco connects his poetic and theatrical sides

“Having a great teacher is like having a great director.”
- James Franco compares having Michael Cunningham as a fiction-writing teacher to working under Martin Scorsese

“I think it’s going to be a lot of fun. I started watching about a week ago.” - James Franco was immediately asked about his latest announced role on “General Hospital”, a show Judd Apatow phoned to say he once obsessively watched

A celebrity agrees to appear at a popular festival. He’s honest and forthcoming throughout. So when you arise to ask a question, make sure it’s one that will yield captivating results. Asking him what his motivation was for being there that night doesn’t qualify. It’s not only short-sighted, it carries with it an obvious answer: because I was invited. Franco turned it into a chance for modesty, mentioning how hard it is to talk about oneself for an entire hour".
