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)

Rene Russo in lingerie in Mr Destiny: very sexy <3

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.

Running Time: 110 min.

Plot Summary: "Mr Destiny" consists in many of its comic and dramatic misadventures of Larry Burrows (Jim Belushi, from the series According to Jim), now with 35 years old. He blames all his life problems to a high school baseball championship defeat during his 15th birthday. 

One night Larry meets a bartender called Mike (Michael Caine, from Miss Congeniality and many other movies), who is also a guardian angel, and Larry's wish is granted: he is now rich and married with Cindy Jo Bumpers (Rene Russo), Leo (Bill McClutcheon)'s sexy daughter. In the beginning, Larry think his life is perfect, but soon he begins to miss his friend Clip Metzler (Jon Lovitz) and his wife in another life, Ellen Jane (Linda Hamilton), and also he makes an enemy in his alternate life, Jewel Jagger (Courteney Cox, from Friends).

After discovering that Larry has agreed to union demands, Niles takes revenge, by telling both Cindy Jo and Jewel of Larry's dinner date with Ellen. He then plots to kill Larry at the office that night. However, company owner Leo Hansen arrives to deliver a note to Larry, announcing his termination at Cindy Jo's request, and Niles kills him by mistake. Discovering the note, Niles calls the police who attempt to arrest Larry for Leo's murder. Larry escapes while jealous Jewel creates pandemonium outside in her attempts to shoot him (and shoots out a number of police cars in the process), leading to a police chase. Larry is eventually cornered in a dark alley, but the pink glow of "The Universal Joint" comes on and he runs into the bar. Unable to find Mike, Larry attempts to make the "Spilt Milk" himself, the ingredients clearly aged.

The flashing lights of the police cars appear and Larry surrenders, but instead of cops, a tow truck driver named Duncan enters (the police car lights now tow truck lights). Confused at first, Larry sees Mike back behind the bar and realizes he's back in his old life. Larry thanks Mike for everything and, upon exiting the bar, suddenly realizes that the deal with the Japanese investors is happening shortly. Driven by Duncan to company headquarters, Larry barges into the boardroom, decks Niles and exposes his scheme just as Leo is about to sign the deal.

Thinking everyone forgot his birthday, Larry returns home (which still has the muddy driveway and lawn) to a surprise party with his family and friends in attendance. Soon after, Cindy Jo and her husband Jackie Earle (Jay O. Sanders), the company president, arrive. Jackie offers Niles' job to Larry, plus a company car, a new Mercedes, and he accepts.

Back in the past, young Larry is about to leave the stadium, still upset about the loss, when he's approached by a mysterious stranger (Mike) who reassures him that everything will be all right. Larry thanks him for the reassurance, but walks off wondering who Mike thinks he's kidding.

Rene Russo's Fashion Lookbook: Black and White Clothes, Perfect for Any Occasion! (Part 2)

Rene Russo and Rose Gilroy : the "yin" and "yang" of the family.
(photo - Archive Pictures)

If master muse Rene Russo can be fashionable with black and white clothes, so does Rose Gilroy, "the princess of the family". Ms. Gilroy inherited the fashion love and her natural beauty specially from Ms. Russo.

Rocker fashion is adored by many people, and specially Rose and myself. In a photoshoot by Ungano and Agriodimas, Rose wears the typical of rocker fashion: a black and white t-shirt with no sleeves and a great pair of ripped jeans. It's sexy and clean at the same time. A great look for going out for a night in Los Angeles. 

Strike a pose moment: Rose Gilroy for a Le Lis Blanc fashion campaign, wearing a black
dress and some great acessories. (pic - Bob Wolfenson)

A very Rose Gilroy chic moment is when she did the Le Lis Blanc fashion campaign and photographed by the amazing Bob Wolfenson (Bob also took photos of Brazilian celebrities, specially for fashion and men magazines). 

And like Rene, Rose also adores some amazing accessories. Accompanied by a dress and some boots, she wears a hat and a "poncho", to cover herself from the heat from the desert. 

Rose Gilroy with friend Cazzie David for La Ligne fashion campaign!
(pic - Ungano + Agriodimas)

Rose, with collaboration of friend Cazzie David (who soon will launch a book), were fascinating in La Ligne fashion campaign, also with pictures taken by Ungano and Agriodimas. 

Coming from New York City, La Ligne is all about striped clothes, specially black and white. Combining striped blouses with jeans/leather pants and some high heels, it makes both girls casual and elegant.
