Like many girls, a young Amy Adams dreamed of becoming a ballerina. As she grew older, however, Amy decided she was better suited to musical theatre and used her ballet foundations to gain work at a dinner theatre. Despite going on to act in films including Catch Me if You Can, Amy’s breakthrough didn’t come until she appeared in Junebug. Her latest role in The Master is as Peggy Dodd – the wife of Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), who is the leader of a fledgling movement known as ‘The Cause’. Set in America in the wake of WWII, The Master follows former naval officer Freddie (Joaquin Phoenix) who is restless and quickly falls under the influence of Lancaster.
Hailing from a family that is akin to royalty in the world of Spanish cinema, Javier Bardem was destined to become an actor. His career began at age six when he appeared in El Pícaro and, despite being a member Spain’s national rugby team as a teenager, Javier eventually wandered down the path of acting. As well as playing romantic leads, a drug addict and Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas, the Spanish actor’s thespian talents have proven equally suited to villainous roles. In the 23rd James Bond instalment, Skyfall, Javier stars as the mysterious villain, Silva. When the integrity of M16 is called into question, Bond (Daniel Craig) proves his loyalty to M (Judi Dench) by going underground to find Silva, a character linked to M’s past.
One of the most influential arbiters of fashion, Diana Vreeland loved the opulence of high fashion, but has also been attributed to making it more accessible to women outside elite social circles. During her time as fashion editor of Harper’s BAZAAR and editor-in-chief of Vogue, the fashion iconoclast pioneered new fashion ideas and influenced the style of icons including Twiggy and Jacqueline Onassis. In Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel, a documentary directed by her granddaughter-in-law, Diana’s legacy is traced through interviews with celebrated fashion personalities, including Oscar de la Renta and Diane von Furstenberg, as well as the style maven’s friends and family.
