The magazine discusses the actress's debut into movies with "Jamon, Jamon" directed by Bigas Luna, and "Belle Epoque" by Fernando Trueba, and in the interview with Cruz it describes as to how she struck the balance between her presence in Spanish films and in big Hollywood productions. The article is surrounded by a series of snapshots revealing Cruz's more daring and sensual side and even - in one of the photographs - showing her in bed.
In an article titled "The Passions of Penelope", the magazine says the actress is the authentic international star of her time.
Wearing her long hair loose and a backless white dress, Cruz will be the featured personality of the magazine, which Monday revealed the issue's contents and announced that the accompanying article will review the Spaniard's professional career. New York, Sep 29 (EFE) Spanish actress Penelope Cruz will appear on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine in its November issue, just in time when the US screenings of her films "Los abrazos rotos" (Broken Embraces) directed by Pedro Almodovar, and the much-awaited "Nine" by Rob Marshall are scheduled Nov 20.
