Emma Watson Portraits


Artist Mark Demsteader did some wonderful portraits of actress Emma Watson. They were shown in a gallery in June 2011 where a portion of sales benefitted a charity for the education of girls in Africa. Story: LINK

Photo of the Day

Here is a photo of Catherine Deneuve and her sister Francoise Dorleac (French actresses) when they were very young. Sadly, Francoise died at age 25 in a car crash. Catherine is still as beautiful as ever. I never knew the story of her sister, but I looked it up yesterday.
