Rachel Weisz

^lol I haven't actually seen Grey Gardens but I've always thought Jeanne is the best person to play Jackie in terms of looks.
 
^Well she's starring in a theatrical version directed by Darren Aronofsky (her partner), while Katie Holmes is in the History Channel miniseries.

Oh this is great to hear. i didn't know. Unfortunately I probably won't see it since it'll be in NYC, presumably. Have they worked together before? I don't think so. Also I didn't know Aronofsky did theatre; I know only his film work.
 
^^she means theatrical as in cinema release and not TV like the Katie one :flower:

Sorry for misunderstanding. As melfreya pointed out, they are making a cinematic version. :flower: They have also worked together before. He directed her in The Fountain.

Oh "theatrical" as in film! I had assumed "theatre". Thanks, this is even better news, since I will definitely see it. And I had forgotten about "the Fountain." Seems to me someone told me it was not worth seeing, so I never bothered. I think I will skip that advice and watch it anyhow; I like all of Darren's other work, and Rachel is always good. She's demonical in the film version of Neil LaBute's play "The Shape of Things"; if you've not seen it, the film itself isn't fab, but her performance in it is great,imo. Raises interesting ideas in terms of men and looks.

The Fountain is a film that divides people's opinions. I would definitely check it out. I loved The Shape of Things. Definitely her best performance.
 
^ it is definitely a love it or hate it kind of film... personally I hated it.. i turned it off early, and i rarely do that :mellow:

Convinced you've seen this outfit before? Well you're right. She wore the same dress and shoes two years ago at the Toronto Film Festival. ^_^

Rachel Weisz was certainly going green by wearing this grey Herve Leger bodycon dress for her appearance on hit US TV show Tonight With Jay Leno - it's a dress she recycled from two years ago.

The stunning 40-year-old actress initially wore the skin-tight frock to the 2008 Canadian premiere of her movie The Brothers Bloom.

But she wore it again for her interview on Friday night with Mr Leno - and he appeared to heartily approve, greeting her with: 'You look terrific! What a great dress!'

The £1,500 bandage dress and contrasting strappy sandals is clearly a favourite outfit, so Ms Weisz brought it out of mothballs once more - even though some fashionistas wouldn't be seen dead on the red carpet in the same ensemble twice.

But the British beauty, who shot to global fame in The Mummy and won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in 2005's The Constant Gardener, has a proven interest in saving the planet and presented at the American leg of Live Earth back in 2007.

Ms Weisz, who starred in both The Lovely Bones and Agora last year, knows what she's doing when it comes to fashion too, being the muse of designer Narciso Rodriguez, so she is clearly sending out a message to her fans that wearing the same outfit more than once is the eco-friendly thing to do, no matter how famous you are.

Mind you, we reckon more stars would give outfits repeat runs on the red carpet if they looked as good as Rachel does.

The super-toned but still curvy thesp looks incredible in a garment that would be too unforgiving for anyone with an ounce of excess body fat.

Rachel, who also won the coveted Best Actress Olivier Award for her work in the theatre revival of A Streetcar Named Desire, returns to our screens later this year in The Whistleblower.

A true story, Ms Weisz stars as Kathryn Bolkovac, an American UN peacekeeper who risks her job and her life to uncover a scandal involving American contractors and the United Nations in postwar Bosnia.

It also stars Monica Bellucci and Vanessa Redgrave.

London-born star Ms Weisz, who has previously dated Men Behaving Badly star Neil Morrissey, has been with award-winning American film director Darren Aronovfsky, 41, for the past nine years.

Now engaged, they have a four-year old son Henry Chance and live in Manhattan.

Mr Aronovsky recently relaunched the career of Mickey Rourke by directing him in the Golden Globe-winning The Wrestler.

Rachel was voted most marriageable woman in a poll carried out by Esquire magazine earlier this year.

Good for her!

Media acts like it's a crime against humanity if an actress wears the same dress out in public. Pffft.
 
YAY! I love that she re-wore it!!! Why not?

And my god - she looks AMAZING! I am not a huge fan of the band-age, Herve Leger look, but she's rocking it! What a figure. What a pretty woman. And she is a great actress too. C

Just beautiful.

I love the witty pairing of such a pretty, feminine dress with socks.
