Penelope - Hitchcock Blonde 2

I guess that Penelope's look here is influenced a lot by Naomi Watts, in The Ring [link] which represents for me the absolute perfection of a beautiful actress - and the modern day hitchcock blonde.

For those of you not old enough to understand the reference to Alfred Hitchcock, I got you this reference from here: [link]


A 'Hitchcock Blonde' is an actress/character type that was frequently used by film director Alfred Hitchcock in his movies and for whom he appeared to have an obsessive fascination. They were beautiful, sexy, smart and sophisticated but also icy, strong and fearless; "a cool surface with an inner fire". Actresses that typified the 'Hitchcock Blonde' were Tippi Hedren, Grace Kelly, Kim Novak and Eva Marie Saint among others.

And it describes Penelope rather well, too.
