"The way an actress held her purse"

Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway attending the 82nd Annual Academy Awards - E! Red Carpet on 7th March, 2010

"Then we spoke of the movies and verse
and the way an actress held her purse
And the way life at times can get worse"
-Lou Reed ("Wild Child" lyrics)

"It was a dream ticket for Hathaway, and she followed it with a series of roles that deftly balanced flat-out commercial gloss (The Princess Diaries 2, The Devil Wears Prada) with subtler hints of light and shade (playing a wild child in the indie drama Havoc, or the long-suffering rodeo wife in Brokeback Mountain)" Source: entertainment.timesonline.co.uk

Boardwalk Empire’s cast members are hardly the pioneers of nether-wigs. Jake Gyllenhaal recently told Jimmy Kimmel that his sex scenes with Anne Hathaway in Love and Other Drugs were bare-bodied, save a couple of merkins;Kate Winslet told Allure she wore one for her Oscar-winning role in The Reader, unable to fully grow out her own hair; and Gawker had a field day with Sienna Miller’s au naturel appearance in the yet-to-be-released Hippie Hippie Shake.The intimate toupée’s original purpose was to disguise the symptoms of genital-disfiguring diseases of the Middle Ages, like syphilis".

Humphrey Bogart and Claire Trevor as 'Baby Face' Martin and Francey in "Dead End" (1937)

"Poverty and desperation have driven her into prostitution and she is in the final stages of syphilis, warning the gangster against even a lip kiss. She is played by Claire Trevor, who was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar, in what was an earlier and surprisingly short role (she only has one scene). Bogart's "Baby Face" Martin is a somewhat deeper character than most that he played at Warners during the same era". Source: classicmoviesdigest.blogspot.com

"In 1982, when the starlet turned wig-maker Verita Thompson revealed that for 13 years she was Humphrey Bogart's lover, it surprised many in the film industry as well as admirers of the actor, one of the most iconic in cinema history.
Bogart was also famous for his outwardly ideal marriage to sultry Lauren Bacall

Thompson had a valid reason to be around Bogart – he wore a toupee and she was a wig-maker – and he eventually put her on his permanent staff so that her continued presence could be accounted for". Source: www.independent.co.uk

Humphrey Bogart and Ava Gardner in "The Barefoot Contessa" (1954)

"Even though she was considered quite beautiful and sexy in her day -especially in movies like "The Barefoot Contessa", Ms. Gardner's popularity was unable to boost the use of her given name on American birth certificates. During the height of her reign as Hollywood glamor queen, the name actually fell in the three-digit rankings. Third husband, Frank Sinatra, actually nicknamed his wife "Angel".

Chloe's "Ava" bag is another popular bearer of the name. We don't know if Ava Gardner was the inspiration behind the expensive $1800 bag or not, but why not? It carries the same elegant touch of class and style". Source: www.helium.com

Jake Gyllenhaal testing Viagra in "Love and other drugs"

Scans of Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway and "Love and other drugs" director Edward Zwick in W magazine October 2010

"They spend a certain amount of time having sex in various places" Edward Zwick explains.

"Jamie(Jake's character) comes from a family of overachievers" says Zwick. "He never fulfilled his parents' expectations. Fucking has always been his validation".

In preparation for their sex scenes in Love and Other Drugs, they spent a lot of time cultivating their chemistry - and it shows. 'There's a moment where Jake's character test-drives Viagra', remembers Zwick. With Hathaway's Maggie? 'No - with her, there wasn't any need for it.''

Now she is going small, Sundance, and angsty to the point of serious with her next two films—this month's The Romantics, costarring Katie Holmes and Josh Duhamel, Malin Akerman and Anna Paquin hang out on the vineyard set of "The Romantics" on 11th November 2009

and early 2011's Happythankyoumoreplease, written and directed by How I Met Your Mother's Josh Radnor. Akerman's indie hot streak has taken her to Shreveport, Louisiana, where she's filming the crime thriller Catch .44 with Bruce Willis and Forest Whitaker.

Running with the rough-and-tumble crowd seems to have amplified Akerman's swagger. "I carry a Glock—I'm gangster now!" she says, referring to her part in Catch .44 as a drug dealer on the run from a psychotic hit man.Malin Akerman in 'Hollywood noir' photoshoot for C magazine

When asked what makes a Glock a Glock, however, she stops short. "Why'd you have to call me out on that?" she asks, suddenly sounding every bit the ingenue. "They just told me it was a Glock, all right? I was like, "Cool. I got a Glock." Source: www.details.com

"Sally Jupiter, a former Depression-era burlesque dancer who morphs into the Silk Spectre, a crime fighter with a yen for garters, high-heeled boots, and long black gloves. "Carla has that old-Hollywood quality about her—that indescribable glamour," Snyder says. "I feel like she got ripped out of the forties and put into our time."
Carla Gugino as Sally Jupiter in "Watchmen" (2009)

Sally Jupiter, Snyder says, is supposed to carry around "the faded opulence of a bygone era," which is apt, since even Gugino's memories can sound like images from some Citizen Kane snow globe. She remembers how her father, an orthodontist and inventor in Florida, would fly her to Europe for the holidays. Her parents were divorced; for a while she and her free-spirited mother lived on the fog-ribboned cliffs of Big Sur in California. Gugino remembers "moon parties" on the beach to celebrate each lunar phase in the astrological calendar". Source: www.details.com

"Carla Gugino has played more than a few dangerous women —women haunted by their past, who’ve made bad choices, who taunt men to their doom. She tears into her roles as if with talons, showing an alarming capacity for risk taking in neo-noir tales (The Singing Detective, Watchmen, Sin City) that careen on the edge of true darkness, halted only by a slight wink, a strand of irony to protect us from the gaping maw of no-holds-barred film noir.
Carla Gugino and Ben Stiller in Night at the Museum (2006)

And as noir relies on the stark contrast between lightness (home, hearth, family) and the underbelly, Gugino’s career is a study in contrasts—gleeful, kid-friendly movies (Spy Kids, Night at the Museum) in which she enjoys “just dancing on the surface of something” and stories that go to the darkest of dark places. “What I love about noir,” she says, “is under all that style and flash, it’s also ultimately bare bones about that fight between and the dark and the light within ourselves.Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray in "Double Indemnity" (1944)

Watching the noir classic Double Indemnity again recently, Gugino found herself feeling surprisingly sympathetic toward Barbara Stanwyck’s blond spiderwoman, noting that she must rely on her sexuality because she “has no other tools at her disposal.” In the end, noir offers up these women who have “this kind of inner strength but also a certain level of damage.” Source: www.latimesmagazine.com

"Jake Gyllenhaal's boyish Graysmith is a portrait in stuntedness, if not regression: he proudly admits to having been an "Eagle Scout, actually, first class", and corrals his children to work on the case with him; when wife Melanie hands him divorce papers, he gives her a vaguely worried look but doesn't protest.As games go, Zodiac - no less than Fincher's Se7en, The Game and Fight Club - is rigorously masculine, a double buddy movie that stretches over several years and underscores Graysmith's desperate need for fraternal approval, even as it folds and unfolds around the pivotal figure of Allen (the excellent John Carroll Lynch).
Jake Gyllenhaal as Robert Graysmith in "Zodiac" (2007)
Aside from moments of heightened mise en scène (achieved through tracking and crane shots, low angles and sporadic dabs of noirishness) and temporal condensing (a time-lapse sequence, a quick montage), the tone is pleasingly flat and mundane, evoking the demoralising grind of police work in a pre-feminist, pre-technological era. As such, Zodiac is considerably more adult than both Se7en, which salivates over the macabre cat-and-mouse game it plays with the audience, and the macho brinkmanship of Fight Club".
