Many celebrities stay great only with makeup on, but ugly without makeup, and Rene Russo is NOT one of these celebrities. Ms. Russo doesn't need lots of makeup everyday, because her natural beauty is inside and outside of her. 

For everyone's curiosity, this wonderful ex-model now actress has worked with many makeup artists, from whom Rene's sympathy is praised by them: Sandy Linter (in her modeling days), Shane Paish (in the Thomas Crown era), Hiromi Ando and nowadays, Kéla Wong. All great profissionals and nice people.

Her secrets of beauty include no drinking and no smoking and a few laser treatments, because she doesn't want to mess herself too much (few celebrities, such as Meg Ryan and Donatella Versace, have lots of plastic surgeries, specially on the face). And also she loves a good spa and doing exercise 5 times per day, one part of the body.

In photoshoots and even in movies, Rene Russo's makeup is perfect for any clothes she wears or any hairstyle she has, because of one key word: natural beauty. In any movie she appears, Rene Russo is always praised for her acting, even with or without makeup. 

Makeup artist Shane Paish, known for making up celebrities such as Charlize Theron, was very graceful for making up Rene Russo for the movie The Thomas Crown Affair, in 1999: "That's such a great memory for me".

My Impressions about Velvet Buzzsaw: the Relationship between Art World and Supernatural

Rene Russo, Jake Gyllenhaal and Zawe Ashton: the main characters of Velvet Buzzsaw.
(photo - Archive)

After a great debut in Nightcrawler, in 2014, Dan Gilroy did a similar version of that movie, now retitled as Velvet Buzzsaw. If Nightcrawler retreated the television world, Velvet Buzzsaw retreats the art world. The movie was great in special effects, screams and obviously, the main cast.

Rene Russo's Rhodora Haze is a mix of two characters made by her: Nina Romina, of Nightcrawler, and Catherine Banning, of Thomas Crown Affair. Rhodora is ambitious, smart, sexy and elegant. Ex-punk rocker, now a gallery owner, along with Josephina (Zawe Ashton), an ambitious gallery worker, Morf (Jake Gyllenhaal), an art critic, and Gretchen (Toni Collette), a consultant, are involved into a painter called Vetril Dease. 

In my opinion, the supernatural part of the movie was inspired on the music video Somewhere I Belong, by California band Linkin Park, in 2003.

Billy Magnussen (Bryson) and Daveed Diggs (Damrish), who were revealed on Law and Order franchise, along with Natalia Dyer (Coco), revealed on the Netflix series Stranger Things, Tom Sturridge (Jon Dondon) and John Malkovich (Piers) are also great, even on small roles. 

Rene Russo in Velvet Buzzsaw: extremely elegant as always.

Dan Gilroy is an L.A. version of also director Martin Scorsese, because he shows a darker version of Los Angeles, and Martin Scorsese shows a darker version of New York City (as shown in Taxi Driver, with Robert De Niro). The only thing missing in Gilroy's movies is a director cameo (like Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino, from Pulp Fiction). 

I hope the next Dan Gilroy movie will be about the fashion world, inspired in the music video Beautiful Girl, by INXS, and starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Rene Russo and one of the past romantic pairs of Rene Russo (more likely Robert De Niro or Pierce Brosnan).

Hope u like it.

Since June 12 was celebrated the Valentine's Day on Brazil and on this Monday, June 24, will be Dan Gilroy's birthday (Gilroy will be 60 years old), I'll have the opportunity to talk about the happy 27-year marriage of Rene Russo and Dan Gilroy. For a great relationship like Rene and Dan, it'll be necessary love, trust and care.

It's not often heard the love between great actresses and great directors/screenwriters. Back to summer 1992, Rene and Mr. Gilroy had married and ever since they were inseparable. The couple worked together in Nightcrawler in 2014 (which it was Dan's directing debut), and recently on Velvet Buzzsaw, in the beginning of this year. Independently of the marriage, Rene Russo has shown lots of her natural talent and beauty as always.

Moving forward to August 31, 1993, the couple welcomed a beautiful girl called Rose Jean Gilroy, who is now a successful rising model. Rose has modelled for famous brands known by lots of people, such as Dolce & Gabbana and Salvatore Ferragamo; and recently did modeling campaigns for ready-to-wear brands such as ALC Ltd. and Wild Fox Couture.

Great Topless Moments of Rene Russo! (RENE RUSSO FANPAGE SPECIAL)

Rene Russo in Thomas Crown Affair: Her topless scenes has become a talking point
until today. (pic - MGM Pictures)

When the man is bare chested, we call it shirtlessness. And what about when the woman is on this same situation as the man? It's called toplessness or simplifying, topless. It was used earlier in the 60s, specifically in 1964. In many countries, topless is normal; but in others, topless can be prosecuted as indecent exposure, lewd behavior ou disorderly conduct.

Even semi-nude or topless, Rene Russo shows her beautiful body in action, even on movies or on photoshoots.

But way before Thomas Crown Affair, where many people remember Rene's character Catherine Banning's nude and topless scenes, until today, the wonderful actress, when she was a model, she already had done photoshoots in topless, specially with Albert Watson, Francesco Scavullo, Patrick Demarchelier and Richard Avedon.

Very sexy ! (pic - Francesco Scavullo)

In my opinion, I think there's nothing wrong with topless, I think it is something very natural, and makes the women live more, such as Ms. Russo. Even sleeping nude is way healthier, because it reduces anxiety and stress in a significant way and it makes Rene even gain more confidence, which is in the case of her nude and topless scenes in Thomas Crown Affair.

Rene Russo's Fashion Lookbook: Jackets & Coats to Inspire for Winter!

Rene Russo in Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, in February 2011. The jacket
this wonderful lady is wearing makes her a sex kitten ! (photo- Archive)

Even though in US it isn't winter, in Brazil this season is coming just on June 21. On winter, lots of coats and jackets are a big trend. No matter colored or printed, Rene Russo always rocks this piece of clothing, because it makes this wonderful actress a sex kitten, even on fashion shows or in movies. 

Rene Russo's character in Big Trouble, Anna Herk, is also one of the sexiest
characters in her movie career! One of her outfits include an animal print
jacket! (photo - Archive)

Rene Russo's main trends in fashion: jacket, leather, prints, black, white, a sexy blouse and something in which favors her legs. One example is in the movie Big Trouble (2002). Her character, Anna, is a mix of Lorna Cole of Lethal Weapon 3 & 4 (1992/1998) and Catherine Banning in Thomas Crown Affair (1999). In this picture above, she's wearing a wonderful zebra-printed coat. 

In her modeling career, Rene Russo is great in a fur coat.
Today, the fur coat unfortunately is a major critic.

In the 70s, fur coats were so popular in fashion world. But nowadays... these fur coats considered a fashion crime, due to sustentability aspects and because it's against the enviroment (the animals in extinction). 
But anyway, Rene Russo did great on this Scavullo photoshoot for Vogue, never losing her elegance!

clothes! (photo - Ray Tamarra/Getty Images)

Even with 60 years old, Rene Russo looks extremely elegant, with a white dress, black coat and black boots. One of my favorite looks ever, because Ms. Russo is so conscious not to look ugly, but yes sexy and very beautiful, like in this pic above. Also I love the color balance between black and white, which she adores!!! 

And last but not least, one of my favorite Rene Russo characters, Catherine Banning,
is a very sexy and classy lady. Her wardrobe: lots of coats ! (photo-

June 29 is the Voice Actor Day in Brazil.. The first time I got in touch with Portuguese voice acting was when I started watching the cartoon Fairly Oddparents on TV, and I was only 11 years old... ! But now, I love some movies/cartoons in Portuguese, and others in the original version in English. 

Back to the point. In movies, Rene Russo was voiced by many good actresses in the Portuguese version! Let's check this out !

Character in Focus: Cindy Jo Burrows, in "Mr. Destiny" (1990)

Mr. Destiny, released in October 1990 in US and in March 1991 in Brazil, is one of the movies (and TV shows) in which shows lots of alternative worlds. Recently, alternative worlds were shown in a soap opera called Espelho da Vida (Mirror of Life), written by Brazilian novelist Elizabeth Jhin.

Now back to the point: Rene Russo plays Cindy Jo Bumpers in Mr Destiny, and married to Jackie Earle, played by Jay O. Sanders (Tucker: A Man and His Dream, The Day after Tomorrow), who is also the company president in which Larry (Jim Belushi) works.Cindy Jo is also romantic and very sexy, because mainly of the clothes she wear.

 In one of my favorite scenes, she appears in lingerie, and Cindy says to her alternative husband Larry: "Happy birthday, darling...!"

In my opinion, Cindy Jo has this angelical face, contrary to Catherine Banning from The Thomas Crown Affair (1999), in which she has a femme fatale personality... But in both characters Rene Russo uses her sultry and sexy voice to show her sensuality.
