Marion Cottilard and Penelope Cruz pose at the New York screening of The Private Lives of Pippa Lee and I have to say I did not recognize Marion with her hair shorter and so straight.  Can we talk boots on Ms. Penelope Cruz?? How sexay are those??

Robin Wright Penn, who by the way looks fabulous with darker hair and since she got rid of that excess baggage, has the lead in this movie:

After her much older husband forces a move to a suburban retirement community, Pippa Lee engages in a period of reflection and finds herself heading toward a quiet nervous breakdown

Blake Lively plays the younger Pippa Lee in this movie written, and directed by Rebecca Miller and says of her love scenes with Alan Arkin:

“Well, I think it’s uncomfortable, laying in strategically placed clothes that are taped on your body, in front of some strangers. That’s always uncomfortable,” Lively admitted. She then added, “But, I was with Alan and Rebecca [Miller], and our wonderful D.P., and it was a very private set. We’re all actors, we’re all professionals and we all understood what was happening. Everybody is uncomfortable with those scenes. You’re never going to be comfortable being half-naked in front of anyone. But, it was fine. It was a short scene.“

Speak for yourself, Blake.  Give me a half-naked scene with Kiefer Sutherland and it wouldn’t be me that would be uncomfortable but those on the set watching me and Kiefer with our crazy monkey love moves, he he he.
