Penelope is Woody fan
SULTRY Spanish actress Penelope Cruz, tipped for an Oscar as best supporting actress for Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona, has joined the gnarled New York director’s pulchritudinous actress fan club, which includes her co-star, Allen’s muse Scarlett Johansson.
“I only met Woody for one minute, then I was told that I had passed the audition,” Penelope gushed at a recent London awards bash.
“That was it. When we started work I did all my scenes in four weeks, no rehearsal, everything in two takes.
“I loved it and although I always prefer working in Spanish, I felt really relaxed in English for the first time.
“He has a way of making his actors feel really free.”
