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.

The discussion around Irreversible should have been ten times longer

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.

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson shows us what’s inside her Labubu-laden Louis Vuitton bag. The WNBA MVP always carries two pairs of glasses, depending on what the occasion calls for, and pulls out her favorite snack, a bag of Sour Patch Kids. The most meaningful item in A’ja’s bag is her late grandmother’s coin purse, which she now uses to carry her ID cards. “I don’t put coins in it because my heart’s in it.”
