Paris, July 27 (IANS/EFE) A wax sculpture of Spanish actress Penelope Cruz will be placed in a premier spot in a Paris museum , joining similar statues of Brad Pitt and George Clooney . The Grevin Wax Museum decided to include the actress in its list of stars to "pay tribute to this essential actress who has asserted herself on the world level as well as on the Spanish one", the museum's communications director, Veronique Berecz , told EFE .
