She was a better Bond girl than Swann.

Also, she was also considered for a Bond girl during Brosnan’s days. But the producers declined her and Brosnan was disappointed.

The first movie I ever saw her was Malena. She was always a fascinating actress, but she’s a really fascinating person.

God’s favorite. The way her face stayed this way at 60 looks amazing. I don’t think surgery can do this it looks natural. That’s crazy. AND LUCKY :’)

Irreversible still remains the most f’d up movie I’ve ever seen. Props to her for getting through that “scene.”

I wish they included brother’s grim movie where she played the evil version of rapunzel. That particular character used to haunt me in my dreams as a kid! 🙌

Somehow her daughter came into my algo (I didn’t even know of her) and now Monica herself.

How the Front Row Became the Front Row | Vogue

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Over the past 75 years, fashion shows have evolved from intimate presentations to global spectacles. Vogue takes a look at the rich history of fashion’s illustrious front row. Dior’s 1950s “New Look” revolutionized femininity, while the ’60s embraced individual freedom and exclusivity. The ’70s introduced cultural influencers and turned shows into entertainment, paving the way for the extravagant glamour of the ’80s. By the ’90s, mainstream appeal dominated, and the 2000s saw celebrities strategically claim the front row. The rise of influencers in the 2010s, fueled by social media, democratized access to Fashion Week. Even as the pandemic briefly halted live shows, the industry adapted and returned. Today, the front row itself has become part of the spectacle with celebrities like Kylie Jenner wearing the same outfit we also see on the runway.
