Vinessa Shaw is the Vanity Fair Vanities Girl for February 2009

The Vanities Girl in Vanity Fair for February 2009 is Vinessa Shaw (mark that, not Vanessa Shaw). You might know Shaw from movies like 40 Days and 40 Nights, The Hills Have Eyes, 3:10 to Yuma, Melinda and Melinda or the ol’ classic Ladybugs. Which, by the by - wow, I’d forgotten about!

I’m not sure that the picture used in Vanity Fair is my favorite picture of her - facewise (it makes her face look so long, like a horse…!), but the picture itself is very vibrant and pretty. I don’t know if she’ll fix the car herself (I won’t rule that out), but either way she’d get some help!

Vanity Fair tells us about her next project:  “Soon to be tempting the conflicted soul of … Joaquin Phoenix, who must choose between her and a shiksa’d-out Gwyneth Paltrow in James Gray’s Two Lovers. ‘I play the nice Jewish girl that every parent would want their child to marry,’ says Shaw. ‘It’s funny, there was a guy who came up to the producer and said, ‘’Vinessa Shaw isn’t Jewish.’’ [But] my grandfather’s original last name was Schwartz!’”
