The well-known Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar and his royal heroine Penelope Cruz shot the magazine, and the two began to work together in the early 90s, shooting a number of masterpieces.
The new film called "Parallel Mother" is about the parenting story of two mothers who have just become mothers.
Penelope Cruz, also from Spain, is known as the first beauty in Spain, from the age of 18 in the movie "Ham, Ham" to become famous and stunning four, in the blink of an eye has been 28 years since its debut.
Now 46 years old, she is still a hot actress in Hollywood, although she bears the aura of a sexy goddess and has played many beautiful roles, but she refuses to make a vase and participates in many literary films.
Most of all, she overpowered Scarlett Johansson in Woody Allen's Midnight barcelona, conquering the Oscar jury with her superb acting skills and winning the award for best supporting actress.
She used her strength to prove that hard work and persistence are more important than beauty.

Penelope, whose full name is Penelope Cruz Sanchez, was born on April 28, 1974.
Her hometown is Alcobenda in Madrid, Spain, where her father is a mechanic and her mother is a hairdresser.
Penelope also has a younger brother, a singer and film and television composer; her sister Monica is also an actress and worked as a stand-in for Penelope in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Waves.
Penelope began learning to dance at the age of four and danced ballet for nine years.
But then she felt that the entertainment industry had more opportunities, so she gave up dancing and ran to work as a model and participate in talent shows.
At the age of 14, Penelope went to an audition for an agent, and 300 people signed up, and the agent let Penelope act in the classic clip of the movie "Casablanca", and Penelope played a mess.
But the agent asked her if she was interested in cooperating, and in this way, Penelope had an agent. Although Penelope does not have any acting experience, she is beautiful, as long as she is acting in her true colors.
In 1992, at the age of 18, Penelope made an appearance in the movie "Ham, Ham" and was stunned by four seats.
The male protagonist of the film is Javier Baden, and the two have a beautiful passion scene in the film, but Penelope had a boyfriend at the time, so he did not rub a spark of love with Javier.
The two became friends, and then both went to Hollywood, going round and round for years before they came together.
But before the two came together, the sexy and beautiful Penelope also harvested a lot of male gods, and I will talk about this matter later.
Continuing to say that because of the fame in the movie "Ham, Ham", Penelope got a ticket to the show business circle, and then many directors came to invite her to shoot, including a director who was quite obsessed with her.
He is the famous Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar.
Also in 1992, shortly after the film's release, one afternoon, Penelope's home phone rang, and her boyfriend picked up the phone and told her it was Almodóvar.
Since becoming famous, Penelope has often received similar calls that lie to the director of so-and-so, so she thought it was a fake again, and after answering the phone and chatting a few times, Penelope found that it was really Almodóvar.
She was so happy that Almodóvar was a director she admired so much.
Penelope was then invited to Almodóvar's house to meet him, when Almodóvar was preparing a new film called "Kika", but unfortunately Penelope was too young to have a suitable role.
But Almodóvar remembered Penelope, and 5 years later, he let her star in the film "Shivering Desire", but the role was not much, and it did not allow Penelope to show her charm, but Penelope was also very happy.
Javier Baden also starred in the film, but did not play against Penelope.
Despite being in her early twenties, Penelope has become a household name in Spain, and soon her career will turn to a turning point, as she moves from Spain to Hollywood.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="20">02</h1>
In 1997, Penelope starred in a brain-burning thriller called "Open Your Eyes," about a rich second generation who, after being disfigured in a car accident, discovers that his life has become extremely chaotic, making it impossible for him to distinguish between reality and dreams.
Penelope starred in this film as the girlfriend who made Fuerdai miss it.
What she didn't expect was that the Spanish film caught the attention of Hollywood hit tom Cruise. After watching the film, Brother Tang decided to remake the film and play the role of Fu Er Dai.
And he also made a decision to invite Penelope to continue playing her role in the original.
The remake started three years later, and we'll talk about it later.
Because before that, Penelope also made a lot of films, and successfully entered Hollywood, embarking on the road of harvesting male gods.
In 1998, Penelope again starred in his film All About My Mother, which he directed, but this time more than the last time, but not the heroine.
However, the film swept the major international awards and won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, which added a lot of points to Penelope's hollywood adventure, and soon she went to the United States to shoot the films "Women On" and "Wild Horses".
The male protagonist of the latter is Matt Damon.
The response to the film was mediocre, but Penelope's scandal with Matt Damon caught the attention of Hollywood paparazzi because Matt Damon had a girlfriend at the time, Hollywood actress Winona Red.
Damon broke up with Winona after filming the film "Wild Horse" with Penelope, and Penelope was rumored to be a junior.
Penelope and Nicolas Cage filmed the film "Captain Collelli's Mandolin", and then a scandal came out with Nicholas, and after the film was finished, Nicholas also divorced his wife and actress at the time, Patricia Aquite.
However, Matt Damon and Nicholas Cage are both passers-by, and it is Atango who really wins the hearts of the beauties.
In November 2000, Atango remade "Open Your Eyes", the American version called "Vanilla Sky", invested by Paramount Pictures, began filming in New York and Los Angeles.
Penelope continues to play the same role as in the original, and as a result, she and Atango not only linger in the film, but also rub a spark of love outside the scene, which burns all over Hollywood.
Because brother Atang at that time was a husband with a wife, his wife Nicole Kidman was also incredibly beautiful, brother Atang and Nicole were celebrity couples in Hollywood, and everyone knew everyone.
Therefore, as soon as the news of Penelope's involvement in Atango's marriage came out, the outside world was in an uproar, and public opinion one-sidedly called Penelope a "fox spirit", and Penelope had to apologize to Nicole.
Nicole, who was hurt, was furious and told Atang's friend that she would take revenge on Penelope.
Of course, she is only talking, just angry words.
However, the much-fought extramarital affair between Atangge and Penelope eventually ended in a breakup.
There are two reasons: one is that Brother Atang and Nicole's adopted adopted daughter and adopted son do not accept Penelope; the other is that Penelope's family strongly opposes it.
Penelope's father was so disgusted with Atango that he threatened to marry a poor man in Madrid than to accept Penelope marryIng Tom Cruise.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="20">03</h1>
While still entangled with Atango, Penelope has a new scandal.
Cosmopolitan magazine released a fierce film in the United States, and they filmed Penelope dating fellow Spanish actor Javier Baden (then translated as Javier).
At that time, Javier Baden was also a man with a wife, and his wife Christine Pyles was his English teacher, but my sister Guo's ability was limited, and I did not find more information about Javier and this wife.
The scandal was quickly suppressed, because Penelope had known Javier since he was 18 years old, the two had worked together many times, and had always claimed to be good friends, who could have imagined that it was he who finally embraced the beauty, of course, this is the last word.
In January 2004, Penelope officially announced his parting ways with Atango.
In April, there was a scandal with Matthew McConaughey, another male god in Hollywood, who starred in the movie "Sahara", and Matthew visited Penelope's family in Barcelona, exposing the relationship.
Subsequently, Penelope personally admitted the relationship in an interview with the media.
This time, Penelope's family was so satisfied that Penelope's father said he would be blessed by his parents if they wanted to get married. Penelope's close friends revealed to the media that Penelope was ready to marry Matthew McConaughey.
However, in June 2006, Penelope's spokesman announced that Penelope had broken up with Matthew on the grounds that he was busy at work.
Penelope's private life has been vigorous, her acting career has also risen step by step, thanks to the scandal with so many Hollywood A-list male gods, she has earned enough exposure.
But I have to say that people are not love brains, do not want to make vases all the time, in the acting thing, no less effort, and like to shoot art films, that is the opportunity to prove their ability.
In July 2005, Penelope collaborated again with her old partner director Pedro on the film The Return, this time as the heroine, and for her outstanding performance in the film, she was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress for the first time.
Although she did not win an award, she proved her efforts and strength enough, she is not a vase, but a high-value powerful actress.
No, Hollywood geek director Woody Allen threw an olive branch to Penelope and invited her to star in the movie Midnight barcelona, in which Penelope played a somewhat crazy woman.
Penelope's old friend Javier Baden starred in the film as her "husband", and this time, the two rubbed a spark outside the play, and it is accurate to say that the previous Spark signs were ignited.
It's just that before Javier had a family, he didn't know when it was divided, and now everyone is single, and it is normal to fall in love.
In 2009, Penelope reappeared at the Oscars with Woody Allen for Midnight barcelona, this time nominated for Best Supporting Actress, which she ultimately won.
A year ago, her boyfriend Javier Baden won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for "Old And Alone."
In July 2010, Penelope and Javier Baden had a simple wedding in the Bahamas, attended only by family and good friends of both parties.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="20">04</h1>
Penelope didn't stop for getting married and having children.
In 2010, another film she starred in, Nine, was also nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
Interestingly, Nicole Kidman also starred in the film, and the two laughed and hated each other.
In June of the same year, Penelope, who was pregnant with Rokka, also insisted on filming the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: Strange Waves", but because her stomach was bulging, she hired her own sister Monica to help as a stand-in.
On January 26, 2011, Penelope gave birth to a son, Leonardo.
Subsequently, Penelope returned to Spain to shoot the literary film "Coming to this World", and also made a cameo appearance in Woody Allen's "Love in Rome", and starred in "Black Gold Killing Machine" with her husband Javier Baden.
She also took the time to go back to the scene of her old friend director Pedro, and made a cameo appearance in his film "I Am Super Excited", which was the fifth time the two had worked together.
In addition, she also filmed the thriller "Mama", and the intensity of work was really high.
The key is that they took the baby, filmed at the same time, and became pregnant with a second child, and gave birth to their daughter Luna in July 2013.
In 2015, when she returned to the film industry again after giving birth to her daughter for more than a year, her figure and state were quickly adjusted, wearing a red tight one-piece leather coat, riding a motorcycle, with her own aura and cool.
It is said that the stardom of female stars is short, but Penelope, who is over forty years old, is still thriving in acting and has not been affected in the slightest, and she has works released almost every year.
In September 2019, Penelope received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the 67th San Sebastian International Film Festival, a very important film festival in Spain and an international A-category film festival.
For Penelope, who has been trying to get rid of the vase image, it is undoubtedly the biggest recognition.
From the teenage years to get involved in the show business, 18 years old on the screen to become famous to now, in these 28 years, Penelope's acting career ups and downs, private life is also very exciting.
But fortunately, in the impetuous Vanity Fair, she always put her acting career first, so she can go long.
Looking forward to her and old partner director Pedro's new work "Parallel Mother".
