Rooney Mara covers VOGUE Feb bringing exquisite glamour

tl;dr;nothing is bolded cuz everything is perfect?

Hauntingly beautiful and more than a little mysterious, Rooney Mara is Hollywood’s most enigmatic leading lady.

“I feel a little, like . . . schizophrenic,” confides Rooney Mara of the quartet of radically different roles that she has taken on in the intense, whirlwind working year since David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo garnered her Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations and launched her into the starry firmament. Mara has just flown in for Vogue’s cover shoot on the red eye from Mérida, Mexico, where she wrapped Terrence Malick’s latest film. The idiosyncratic director was particularly demanding. “He’s a genius,” says Mara, who is protective of Malick’s methodology, although she admits that “it was definitely the most challenging experience, just because every day is different. So even if one day you got into your groove or got the hang of it, the next day would be something else.”

Earlier in the year she worked with the antic Spike Jonze on the science-fiction romance Her, and with writer-director David Lowery on the independent Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, a love story set in the seventies in the hills of Texas. Meanwhile, her fourth project of 2012, Steven Soderbergh’s suspenseful thriller Side Effects, is released this month.

“It’s been very strange, jumping from one character to the next,” says the chameleon Mara. “All four of them were very intense experiences. . . . I really feel sometimes like those things are happening to me. Obviously they’re not. But it’s hard going from one to the next.

“And I’m hypercritical of myself,” she adds in a masterpiece of understatement. “Anytime I see anything I’ve done, I wish that it had gone differently because you figure it out as you go along, and you’re always discovering new things. I’d probably feel that way about anything that I did.”

She couldn’t bear to see herself on-screen in Dragon Tattoo and famously resisted until she went to a theater near Manhattan’s Union Square and bought a ticket with the general public. “I really wanted to go alone,” she says, but her boyfriend, writer-director Charlie McDowell (the son of actors Malcolm McDowell and Mary Steenburgen), insisted on accompanying her. “He was wise to come with me because if anyone had recognized me, I would have been so embarrassed.”

For Soderbergh, Mara has “the X factor that you can’t really teach, that watchability that an actor needs. My job was to make sure my camera was in the right place to capture it, to get what she was putting across.”

“It’s all intuition for me,” Mara confesses. “I never really studied-studied.” Instead, she works privately with the acting coach Bob Krakower (“I didn’t love being in a class—that’s very hard for me”) and otherwise learns by doing. “I think every job I do, I learn something new and get better,” she says. “I hope, anyway, that I keep evolving. . . . I wouldn’t want just one technique, because I don’t think it would work for every job.”

In Side Effects, Mara takes on the role of the wife of a hapless insider trader, played by Channing Tatum. When he is released from prison, brimming with plans to rebuild their once-golden life together, Mara’s character descends into bleak depression, apparently fueled by an unscrupulous doctor’s careless administration of prescription drugs. Mara’s nuanced performance illuminates a movie whose unexpected twists and revelations owe a debt to Hitchcock at his sliest.

For her role, Mara spoke to psychologists, met with sufferers of depression, studied online video diaries—even visited the psych ward at Manhattan’s Bellevue Hospital. “I think everyone has at some point in their lives been depressed, or at least sad,” she says. “I had a lot of anxiety growing up because I was so shy, so I could relate to that part of it. But severe clinical depression is a whole other thing, and I guess I never really knew how bad it can get.”

Soderbergh says he was taken by Mara’s ability to “shape-shift” when he saw his friend David Fincher’s The Social Network in its unfinished early stages. Mara plays Mark Zuckerberg’s arch and increasingly exasperated girlfriend in the masterly pre-credits opening—a sequence that threatens to steal the movie. “Wow, who’s that girl?” he asked himself. “She just really registers strongly.” And yet, a surprising degree of personal shyness has clung to the actress since early childhood. “I think that’s part of the reason I like acting,” Mara explains. “I can be someone else. I get to express a lot of things that maybe are hard for me to express in my normal life.” She relishes a role with an accent for this reason: “I just find it easier to lose yourself. I’d really rather hide behind the character. It’s like a party trick! Not that I go to parties.”

But A-list parties are indeed part of the job, and she credits an intense complicity with her friend and stylist, the self-effacing Ryan Hastings, for the creation of the intimidatingly chic Mara look. “I love him,” says Mara. “He’s very quiet and thoughtful, and we just instantly got along.” Together, they devised a red-carpet image of relentless monochrome—a balletic chignon and Louise Brooks ebony bangs framing a pale Irish face with statement lip color, and black or white gowns of sophisticated cut and embellishment by designers such as Nina Ricci, Calvin Klein, Prabal Gurung, and Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci, for whom she is something of a poster girl, and with whom she will cochair the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute’s gala benefit for “PUNK: Chaos to Couture” this spring.

“For Dragon Tattoo, I had eight different premieres, this many different photo calls. It’s a lot to plan for. It’s not like you can just show up.” She flashes a dimpled elfin grin. “The thing is, it’s kind of an annoying part of the job—because I’m not a model, and I don’t want to be. I didn’t try to be a style icon. I’m just not that interested in that world. But it does matter, and either I can fight that or I just have to accept that it is a part of my job, and I may as well wear things that I like and that represent me.”

In fact, she finds the whole red-carpet experience “a nightmare! It’s a panic attack waiting to happen. I don’t even like people to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to me. When we wrap a film and everyone claps and cheers, I turn red. And then I have to walk out onto the middle of this carpet and there are all these photographers, and they’re all screaming at you. And usually there’s a party at the other end of it, so it’s not even like I have solace at the end of the carpet! It’s like then I have to walk into my other nightmare!”

Passing unnoticed through the Ides bar of the Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg—thronged with pierced and dragon-tattooed hipsters—Mara, shrouded in a knit beanie and a voluminous reefer jacket, tells me, laughing, “I don’t think I’m cool enough to hang out here.” We take a moment to enjoy the Manhattan skyline, and Mara insists on treating me to her favorite cocktail—a hot toddy (although she took a bartending course, she lasted only a day on the job: “I was horrible,” she remembers. “It’s too social!”).

She shrugs off my suggestion of a dinner date at the very latest fashionable establishment in favor of vegetarian Korean in anonymous midtown, where we slip off our shoes and feast on delicious kale pancakes and mushroom sizzlers, and she can favorably compare the quality of life in Los Angeles to that of New York because, for the price of her spacious home in L.A.’s Silver Lake neighborhood, she would find herself here “literally living in a dungeon, in a basement, with no closet.”

On the other hand, her roots are in New York. She was raised in Westchester and went to college in the city—and she plans to return east one day. “For me, the seasons are so powerful. The smell of the fall or the spring, it brings back so much.” And “for someone who loves to eavesdrop and people-watch,” she adds, “I feel like in the city you can be very alone and disappear. And so I love that because I like to be alone a lot. I think part of the reason is I’m like a sponge. If I’m in a group, I get exhausted immediately picking up everyone’s feelings. If they’re sad, I take it all on, and I can feel it.” Although it’s useful for her craft, “it’s just not that useful for life!” she says. “I’ll go to the grocery store or something, and come home and be exhausted because I’ve really picked up someone else’s sadness or shame . . . anything. It really affects me. I’ve had to figure out a way to turn that off, and that makes me a little bit more guarded.”

Mara describes a bucolic Bedford childhood with a close-knit family (her father was one of eleven siblings, and she has 50 cousins on his side alone). Her hometown was then, as she remembers, “this one teeny little street with a general store and a movie theater. It was really small, really peaceful. We would have block parties, and lemonade stands at the end of the driveway.” Her mom, who was a real estate agent, used to take her to the sprawling open-air antiques fairs in Brimfield, Massachusetts, and Stormville, New York (“My entire apartment is furnished with stuff from thrift markets,” Mara says), and on house-hunting expeditions—an activity she still relishes for its ripe observational possibilities.

The highlight of her childhood entertainment was musical theater. She saw Les Misérables at least half a dozen times, and Rent even more. For a girl in sequestered suburbia, the latter’s lyrics and themes taught her about adult issues—and gave her a frisson of excitement about all that Manhattan could offer. But Mara says that she never considered her singing voice good enough for an audience. “That’s actually why I started acting,” she explains, “just because I can’t really sing, so that was like my only way into that world that I love.”

Meanwhile, Mara’s mother “was always playing old black-and-white movies for us,” she remembers, and the memorable female characters in films such as Bringing Up Baby and Rebecca inspired her to stick with her acting classes. But when she was cast as a crow in a community production of The Wizard of Oz (her elder sister, Kate, whose acting career was also blossoming, played the Scarecrow), “I was so horrified to be out in front of everyone that I couldn’t remember my one little line . . . and that was the end of my thespian career.”

Mara claims that she has not yet overcome her fear of performing. “I would like to do a play someday,” she says, “but I find it really scary. I hate being onstage.” For her, a first day on set “is like the first week of school: all these new people. I always get nervous in the beginning. But you know, it’s so intimate [that] you get used to it.”

One of Richard Avedon’s haunting portraits of a young Rudolf Nureyev is pinned to the inspiration board in the studio where David Sims is photographing Mara for Vogue. The dramatic Slavic contours of the dancer’s face—the high cheekbones and almond eyes—find an uncanny echo in Mara’s own intelligent and exquisite features. “The camera likes her a lot,” avers Soderbergh. “She’s got a great face, a very classical, almost silent-movie face: very ‘shootable.’ ”

Though she fast establishes complicity with Sims, Mara generally loathes having her picture taken, and don’t even try to get her to reveal the enchanting dimples that form when she smiles. “Why should I ‘fake smile’?” she asks. “It feels disingenuous to me. I want to smile when something happy happens, so if I do smile, you know it’s real.” Her father has been attempting to capture those dimples on film since his daughter was a scowling four-year-old, a “weird, dark kid,” as she confesses, who wanted to dress up as the iconic Swiss girl Heidi’s crippled friend Klara for Halloween and later was a teenage loner—“very doom-and-gloom”—who sat on her own on the windowsill in the middle school cafeteria.

After high school, Mara’s horizons were enriched when she enrolled in the Traveling School and headed to South America for four months, trekking and backpacking through Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and the Galapagos. “It really changed my life,” she remembers. “The science was everything that was around us. We would read books by local authors. For history we were learning about the history of where we were. It was amazing. After that, I didn’t want to go to university. What am I going to do—join a sorority and go to frat parties?” But there was parental pressure to continue her education, so she enrolled at George Washington University before transferring to NYU, where she shared an apartment with her very tight-knit group of girlfriends from high school, all transferees to New York City colleges who had hated the respective institutions they’d started out at. “Because of that, and because I wasn’t that interested in college, I didn’t meet one new person—I’m not even exaggerating!”

Eventually Mara found a place at NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, where she was able to create her own major. “I was just so uninspired in a regular classroom,” she remembers. She took a course called Writing About Africa and did a research paper on child soldiers that inspired her to travel to the continent to volunteer. She ended up working in an orphanage in Nairobi’s Kibera, an enormous slum, where it is believed a million people live in one square mile of squalor. “It was very . . . surreal,” she remembers of her first few days. “I just felt so overwhelmed, hopeless. But it was an incredible experience, and I formed this amazing bond with a lot of the kids there.” Back at NYU, she organized her curriculum around creating a nonprofit, now the Uweza Aid Foundation.

“I knew I wasn’t going to be able to change the way things were there,” she says, “but at least I could help the few kids that I grew to love and care about.” Mara’s foundation has created a boys’ and girls’ community center in Kibera. “We have a soccer league and a journalism program, an art program, and tutoring. It’s not reinventing the wheel, it’s not changing hundreds of thousands of lives, but it’s something. And for those kids that go there and get to go to soccer every week, it means a lot to them.

“You’re kind of a gypsy,” adds Mara of the actor’s life. “The crew, everyone—we’re all just a traveling circus. It’s not a normal life for anyone, because you work such crazy hours, and you’re in this intense little bubble, and then it’s over and you move to the next circus location. So I get very restless if I stay in the same place for too long.”

But for the moment there are no acting projects on the immediate horizon, and Mara is setting off for Africa and her foundation. “I’m a workaholic,” she says. “I really don’t know how to be relaxed. But it’s kind of a great feeling to not know what I’m doing. I also just want to take a break and not think about it at all. I think it’s good for actors to have other things that they’re interested in,” she says, and pauses to think. “So I’m trying to figure out what those things are.”

Kristen Stewart covers Marie Claire Australia + Interview

via glooce

She found fame playing the world’s most famous virgin and stole the affections of a British heart-throb – then her affair with a married man hit the headlines. But Kristen Stewart has weathered the storm and is back to figuring out life post-Bella Swan.

"Challenge is my favourite thing in life,” said Kristen Stewart, grinning, her tousled brown hair casually tossed to one side. The Twilight star, sitting on a stage at Comic-Con in San Diego, California, last July, patiently and politely answered questions from the clamouring media pack.

Dressed in her uniform of street cool meets sophisticated luxe (pairing an on-trend fluoro skirt with a cropped white T-shirt and black high-top sneakers), Stewart answered each reporter’s inquiry with a poise that belied her 22 years.

Given that Stewart has spent the better part of the past four years shooting and promoting the Twilight movies, facing a near-constant barrage of repetitive questions about the billion-dollar movie juggernaut (not to mention about her “are they/aren’t they?” chemistry with co-star Robert Pattinson), the actor could be forgiven for greeting another round of media interviews with something less than enthusiasm. But, striding onto the stage in San Diego that day, Stewart radiated cheerfulness, happily opening up about her experience of working on the final installment in Stephenie Meyer’s blockbuster series, not a hint of a sulk in sight.

How did filming the Twilight series affect her, one journalist asked.

“Maybe it just affirmed my ideas of why I like to do what I do. You don’t always have to do an indie movie,” explained Stewart, patiently. “But as a person, I could not begin to answer that question right now. It’s so loaded.”

While Stewart struggled to articulate how the global success of Twilight has shaped and defined her life, the mega franchise has unquestionably had an impact. Since day one of Twilight, Stewart and co-star Pattinson have been inextricably linked in the public imagination, the intensely private nature of their off-screen romance only adding to the lustre of their golden couple status.

And Stewart has been inextricably linked, too, with Bella Swan, the schoolgirl-turned-vampire who made her a household name. With the end of Twilight in sight, Stewart told the audience in San Diego that she relished the prospect of spreading her wings and shrugging off any last vestiges of Bella. “The challenge we have ahead of us...I couldn’t ask for more,” she said.

But what no-one in the audience that day could have predicted was the enormous personal challenge Stewart was about to face. Just days later, she would find herself at the centre of a global media storm after paparazzi photographs emerged showing her and married Snow White And The Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders, hugging and kissing. Her public image swung from reluctant starlet to husband-stealing seductress. The reaction from fans at the apparently imminent demise of Robsten was nothing short of distraught – cue sobbing YouTube videos from Twihards and the sort of hysterical outpouring of grief and anger normally reserved for natural disasters or the death of a North Korean dictator.

Stewart responded by releasing a gut-wrenching statement apologising for the affair. She moved out of the LA home she shared with Pattinson.

In the months since, Stewart has had little contact with the press, but interviews she gave just before the scandal broke offered tantalising clues about her private life. Renowned for refusing to talk about anything touching on the personal, Stewart startlingly confided to British Vogue in June: “My God, I’m so in love with my boyfriend. I wish he were here now. I think I want to have his babies. God, I miss him. I love the way he smells. And him me. Like, he loves to lick under my armpits. I don’t get this obsession with washing the smell off; that smell of someone you love.”

Discussing life in general she commented, “You know when your blood pressure goes up and you are excited and you literally reach for your heart? That’s the reason I wanted to make Snow White. It physically felt like the right thing to do.” On working with Sanders she enthused: “Omigod, just, I mean, to die.”

When Stewart sat down for an interview with marie claire before the news of her relationship with Sanders hit the headlines, she professed a fierce sense of independence. “Thankfully I was never told I needed a Prince Charming or anything more than what I already had in me,” she offered. “You have to find your own way in life. I’m not into that rescue stuff.”

During the interview, the looming question for Stewart had nothing to do with the men in her life, but with “What next?” for the actor who has not been out of the spotlight since the first Twilight movie landed in 2008.

“I’m sort of bored now,” she confessed. “I wanna work on something and maybe it doesn’t have to be an acting job. I’ve been hanging out with my dogs and my family and, to be honest with you, I’m still catching up on sleep. I’ve worked for two years solid, literally since Eclipse. But I’m itchy now. I wanna do something.”

Her first shot at redefining her career came in September, with her star turn in the big-screen adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s On The Road.

Reminded that she need never work again for the rest of her life, she smiled and said: “Yeah, I know. I’m in an insane position that I would do my job for free and that’s something that a lot of people say, but I actually mean it. But you need to need it or else it’s not worth doing.”

That work ethic can largely be attributed to her upbringing. Raised by industry parents, she did her homework on the sets of her parents’ TV shows, where dad John Stewart worked as a stage manager and her mother, Jules Mann-Stewart – originally from Maroochydore, Queensland – as a script supervisor.

Buying her own house three years ago, Stewart chose to stay close to her parents and brothers in the unfashionable but family-friendly valley side of the Hollywood Hills.

“My parents are really working class. They make movies. I really looked up to them because of that, and always wanted to make movies and be a part of that. I don’t know what I’d be doing if I wasn’t an actor.

“Growing up, my parents weren’t overtly strict. They let me be who I wanted to be. It’s not like my mum ever sat me down and said, ‘You need to be yourself, Kristen’ or ‘Don’t take any crap, Kristen’, although she did say that to me quite a few times,” she recalled, laughing.

“I thought I was an adult when I was, like, 12. I don’t know why. I’ve never been complacent. I wasn’t brought up that way. I’m the youngest in my family and always felt like I had to take care of my brothers. I’ve always been a worrier. I’ve never been that kid who just doesn’t give a crap about anything, even when I was in kindergarten.”

Stewart admitted she has struggled with the attention fame has brought. “I’m particularly weird because I don’t even like being looked at,” she revealed. “A lot of actors love it and they love going out and literally doing it as an activity. I hate it.”

She spends little time in front of the mirror, leaving it to a six-member prep team to make her red-carpet ready. “I don’t especially enjoy the process, to be honest. I have a lot of actor friends who love getting ready for something just because they feel kind of important. I don’t identify with that. But being in the public eye, I’m expected to look good and I understand that.”

While strutting the red carpet might not be Stewart’s favourite way to spend an evening, her style has matured, the rock-chick standard of jeans and hoodie swapped for a polished and sophisticated wardrobe of sharply cut dresses and jackets. “It took years of my being forced on to the carpets when you have no choice but to do it, until one day you suddenly realise it’s a huge gift,” she said.

That sartorial education looks set to continue. This year, Stewart signed on as the face of Balenciaga’ new women’s fragrance, Florabotanica. In some respects it’s a no-brainer, her dark, rebellious streak pairing nicely with the label’s high-fashion style.

“It was one of those things that just felt right. I’m a huge fan of the fashion world now that I’ve been allowed to be a part of it, even if oftentimes I don’t even know what I’m wearing,” she said indicating her current choice of denim and a faded T-shirt. “But whenever I put on anything by Balenciaga I’m like, ‘Oh, that looks like Balenciaga!’ You can see it, you can pick it out of a rack.”

With the final Twilight instalment in cinemas, the “What next?” question for Stewart has taken on new meaning. Tabloid reports suggest she and Pattinson have rekindled their romance (and that she has bought a $2.2 million home within cooee of his LA mansion), and that she has beaten The Hunger Games actor Jennifer Lawrence in bagging the lead role in Lie Down In Darkness, an adaptation of William Styron’s 1951 novel. But, regardless of her personal life, one thing is certain: Stewart will approach the next chapter of her life with a fierce sense of independence and an unswerving hunger to make movies she is passionate about. As she said recently, “Now, I’m allowed to challenge myself the way I want to.”

Vanessa Hudgens takes the December 2012 cover of Harper’s Bazaar Arabia.

 The 23-year-old actress showed off an edgier side inside the glossy mag, chatting about Spring Breakers, Gimme Shelter and more. Check it:

 On Spring Breakers: “I’ve never been on spring break, I’ve never gone to college or    had this group of girlfriends to go away with. So this is kind of like the opportunity to do it. I became very, very close with these girls. We had such an amazing experience together; it felt like it was our own little spring break. We allowed ourselves to let loose and push each other and see how far we could take it.”

 On getting in the mindset of a pregnant teen on Gimme Shelter: “It was a lot of fun after I got past those initial feelings of shock at the environment and I could just hang out with the children and the moms. They were completely cool with me, they were very welcoming and they really opened up to me which was really, really sweet. They let me pick their minds and get inside of their heads. It was definitely devastating, but it’s the reality of what happens to them.”

 On looking up to Meryl Streep: “She has such an amazing, long career, and that’s the goal – a long career! She has done everything there is to do under the roof, and been brilliant at everything she does. She’s the master of her craft – and that’s her priority – her craft. She is just astonishing.”
