Penelope Cruz: Big Apple Beauty

Still situated in the Big Apple,  Penelope Cruz stepped out of her hotel in New York City on Saturday afternoon (October 10).

Looking lovely, the 35-year-old Spanish actress seemed to be in a bit of a hurry as she quickly walked past awaiting paparazzi while continuing along with her “Broken Embraces” promotions.

  Aside from “Broken Embraces,” Miss Cruz is gearing up for the upcoming release of another film, as the Rob Marshall directed movie “Nine” will be making its way into theaters on December 25th.

Speaking about the toll-taking filming, Marshall told press: “She [Penelope] does all this work with ropes--she was swinging on them and it was scary, and she had formed calluses and her hands were bleeding.  We had told her she should wear gloves, but she was like
: ‘No--I have to feel it.’”

He added: “There’s this huge sheath of pink satin that she slides down on.  When we finished the scene, she had disappeared behind the satin and was in tears.”

While the whole scenario sounds quite unpleasant, Penelope said that she “loved every second. I want to install ropes in my bedroom, so I don’t have to let go of it.”
