Breaking the Mold
Megawatt stars lauded Hollywood's next big things at Hollywood Life's third annual break through of the year awards.
Tricia Helfer: Hair Apparent
Farrah Fawcett had few acting credits when Charlie's Angels rocketed her into a cultural icon, so how apropos that another rookie thesp, 29-year-old model Tricia Heifer, was cast after a worldwide search to play the poster goddess in NBC's Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Charlie's Angels. Heifer was hauling grain and plucking chickens on the family farm in rural Canada until she was discovered at age 17 in a movie theater line by a modeling agent; she soon won the Ford Supermodel of the World contest and became a catwalk staple in New York, Paris and Milan, adorning the ad campaigns of Chanel, Giorgio Armani and Ralph Lauren. We caught up mid-production with the newlywed (to RKO Films exec Jonathan Marshall) newcomer.
Josh Duhamel: Win A Date With Josh Duhamel
AGE: 31 HOMETOWN: Minot, North Dakota
Renzo Rosso: Wading in the Jean Pool
How Renzo Rosso -- Diesel's high-octane owner -- turned a predilection for denim into a bonafide pop culture bonanza.
Having it Maid
Thanks to the likes of J. Lo and Nicole, the glorious beautiful-women-cleaning-toilets film genre gets a jolt.
Scarlett Johansson: Scarlett Woman
The arresting soulfulness and singular beauty of Scarlett Johansson in Lost in Translation and Girl With A Pearl Earring (she earned Golden Globe nominations for both) have transformed her into one of Hollywood's most sought-after talents. With a soaring movie career, a brand-new car, house and 'do and even a potential new boyfriend, the outspoken 19-year-old reflects on her breakout year's projects and what's still to come.
Michael Childers: Legends
For decades, Michael Childers has snapped Hollywood's finest. Here he shares with Hollywood Life the stories behind a few of his iconic works -- recently collected for the exhibit "Icons and Legends: The Photograph of Michael Childers" running at the Palm Springs Desert Museum through February 15, before touring museums across the country.
Peter Sarsgaard: Sarsgaard Unedited
We'd love him just for making a hero out of a magazine editor (!) in the fact-based Shattered Glass, but Golden Globe-nominated Peter Sarsgaard is grabbing attention outside of media circles, too.
<a href="http://www.movieline.com/2004/02/inside-natalie-wood.php"
For the second time in three years, director Peter Bogdanovich casts a glance at a Hollywood life that ended in a mysterious death. The Cat's Meow--which was released in 2002 and starred Kirsten Dunst as Marion Davies, Eddie Izzard as Charlie Chaplin and Jennifer Tilly as Louella Parsons--followed the line of persistent rumors of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst's guilt in director Thomas Ince's death and an ensuing cover-up. The Mystery of Natalie Wood takes a much broader view of its iconic subject, but the whole movie can't help but be colored by our inescapable knowledge of her untimely death by drowning off Catalina Island in 1981.
