Her eyes appear to be filled with challenge.
Even when she is only looking at the camera person.
We can certainly feel that.
Incredibly beautiful women can be a great challenge. A friend in our circle stated they are worth the trouble.
In this life, what pathway they choose is often up to them.
Ana de Armas is incredibly beautiful and appears to relish in taking on one challenging acting role after another.
Her choice.
We first became mesmerized by Ana in her unexpected knock at the door in, well, Knock, Knock.
Knock Knock is a 2015 American psychological thriller film directed by Eli Roth.
The film stars Keanu Reeves, Lorenza Izzo and Ana.
Knock Knock is a remake of the 1977 film Death Game, which was directed by Peter S. Traynor and starred Sondra Locke and Colleen Camp. All three individuals had a hand in the production of Knock Knock, while Camp also had a cameo in the newer film.
What is intriguing about the movie is that the husband involved did not seek to have two gorgeous young women in his house while his wife and children are away.
But he did let them in.
He should not have.
We can sympathize a little since Ana is so mesmerizing.
She can easily slide from that role into being a Bond Girl.
Elegant. Classy and deadly.
No Time to Die is a 2021 spy film and the twenty-fifth in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions, starring Daniel Craig in his fifth and final portrayal of fictional British MI6 agent, James Bond.
Too bad for us.
In the film, Léa Seydoux, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Christoph Waltz, Rory Kinnear and Ralph Fiennes reprise their roles from previous films, with Ana, Rami Malek, Lashana Lynch, Billy Magnussen, David Dencik and Dali Benssalah also starring.
Here is the storyline.
In No Time To Die, Bond has left active service with MI6 and is recruited by the CIA to find a kidnapped scientist, which leads to a showdown with a powerful adversary.
As always, sounds enticing, spiced up with Ana’s incredible beauty.
The reliable team at rogerebert.com confide, “No Time to Die seems cut more from the Marvel Cinematic Universe model of pulling from previous entries to create the impression that everything that happens here was planned all along.”
Fair enough.
Soon, a film Ana will star in, is coming to a theater near you. You might not guess the title given her exotic raven look. Ready?
Blonde.
Blonde is an upcoming American biographical drama film written and directed by Andrew Dominik.
Adapted from Joyce Carol Oates‘s novel Blonde (2000), the film is based on the life of actress Marilyn Monroe, played by pur luminary Ana.
Also in the cast are A-List actors Adrien Brody, Bobby Cannavale and Julianne Nicholson appear in supporting roles.
Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Tracey Landon, Brad Pitt, and Scott Robertson serve as producers on the film, which, after a lengthy period of development that began in 2010, began production in Los Angeles in August 2019.
Clearly a lot of thought is going into the production.
The film is scheduled to be released in 2022 by Netflix.
Certainly looking forward to that.
Blonde will make history as Netflix’s first NC-17 rated film.
Sounds steamy.
For those of you of a newer generation who have not seen Marilyn’s work, our blonde legend was famous for playing comedic “blonde bombshell” characters, she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s and was emblematic of the era’s sexual revolution.
She was a top-billed actress for a decade, and her films grossed $200 million, an equivalent to $2 billion in 2021, by the time of her death in 1962.
Ms. Monroe’s troubled private life received much attention.
She struggled with addiction and mood disorders. Her marriages to retired baseball star Joe DiMaggio and to playwright Arthur Miller were highly publicized, and both ended in divorce.
On August 4, 1962, she died at age 36 from an overdose of barbiturates at her Los Angeles home.
Her death was ruled a probable suicide.
Long after her death, Marilyn remains a major icon of pop culture. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked her sixth on their list of the greatest female screen legends from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
Ana has her work cut out for her but seems up for the challenge.
She appears to excel when challenged, like being a Band Ambassador for Estee Lauder.
The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. is an American multinational manufacturer and marketer of skincare, makeup, fragrance and hair care products, based in Midtown Manhattan, New York City.
The company owns a diverse portfolio of brands, distributed internationally through both digital commerce and retail channels.
In a February 26, 2021 press release they shared, “Estée Lauder today announced that it has signed Ana de Armas, Golden Globe Award-nominated actress and honoree of the 2021 TIME100 Next list, as its new Global Brand Ambassador. Ana will feature in campaigns across digital, TV, in-store and print. Her first campaign for the brand will debut a new fragrance in March 2021. Ana joins the current roster of Estée Lauder global talent including Anok Yai, Bianca Brandolini D’Adda, Carolyn Murphy, Diana Penty, Grace Elizabeth, Karlie Kloss and Yang Mi.”
As usual, when Ana participates in a project, she is in stellar company.
In this starring role, Ana is featured in campaigns across digital, TV, in-store and print, starting with her first campaign for the brand launching this March where she will debut a new fragrance.
They add, “We are thrilled to welcome Ana to the Estée Lauder brand,” said Stéphane de La Faverie, Group President, The Estée Lauder Companies & Global Brand President, Estée Lauder and AERIN. “Her story of overcoming barriers to achieve her dreams and become an accomplished actress is inspiring to women around the world, and her talent, warmth and beauty will bring a new energy to the brand.”
We agree.
We are thrilled to see Ana on the movie screen.
Whatever challenges come her way, she has proven she is more than capable of exceeding them.
