Penelope Cruz Director Dies, Juan Jose Bigas Luna Gave Star Her Big Break

Juan Jos Bigas Luna, the highly regarded Spanish director who discovered Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem, has died at the age of 67. The couple, now married and expecting a baby, shot to world fame after he cast them in the 1992 film Jamn, Jamn . The somewhat surrealistic comedy centered on a beautiful young girl played by Cruz, and it featured an erotic theme that blended the appetites of food and sex. The translation of his iconic title into English is Ham, Ham, described as a childs language game. At one point, the rivals for the Penelope Cruz characters affections actually beat each other with ham hocks a surrealistic touch indeed. Bigas Luna also won the 1992 Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival for the film. He returned to that film festival almost 15 years later, as a member of the jury. He was born in Barcelona in 1946 and directed his first film, Tatuaje (Tatoo), in 1976. In theory, he retired to become a painter a decade later, but he couldnt stay away from film, and h

Renowned film director dies

AP/ Bigas Luna Spanish film director Bigas Luna dies, aged 67 April 6, 2013, 10:52 AM EST MADRID (AP) Spanish film director Josep Joan Bigas Luna, who discovered actors Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem and whose 1992 movie "Jamon, Jamon" launched their careers, has died in northeast Spain, aged 67. News agency Europa Press and Spanish state broadcaster RTVE, citing members of the director's family, said Bigas Luna died early Saturday at his home in Riera de Gaia after a long battle with cancer. Bigas Luna was born in Barcelona on March 19, 1946, and became one of Spain's most influential filmmakers. He shot his first work, "Tatuaje" ("Tattoo") in 1976, but it was the explosively erotic and humorous "Jamon, Jamon" that earned him the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival and the Jury Award at the San Sebastian film festival.

Spanish film director Bigas Lunadied aged 67 after a long struggle with cancer on April 6, 2013. (AFP/Javier Soriano) MADRID: Jose Juan Bigas Luna, a Spanish director and screenwriter who gave Penelope Cruz her first big screen break, has died aged 67 after a long struggle with cancer, Spanish media reported Saturday. Bigas Luna, as he was simply known, directed more than a dozen films over his 35-year career. Perhaps his best-known for international audiences was "Jamon Jamon" (1992), a raunchy comedy which starred newcomer Cruz and up-and-coming fellow Spanish actor Javier Bardem. Both Cruz and Bardem went on separately to Hollywood careers and later became a real-life couple, marrying in 2010. A decade before "Jamon Jamon", Bigas Luna had tried his own hand in Hollywood, making "Reborn" with Dennis Hopper in the lead, but the movie garnered little notice. Bigas Luna kept working in Spain up to his death. In recent months he was preparing to film in his

Versace fashions a stake sell-off to fund expansion overseas

By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 16:38 EST, 4 April 2013 | UPDATED: 16:38 EST, 4 April 2013 Star customer: Actress Penelope Cruz Versace is ready to sell some of the company to outside investors to help fund expansion in overseas markets such as Asia, its chief executive said. The family-owned Italian fashion house, founded in 1978 by the late Gianni Versace, is now controlled by his sister Donatella, who is the chief designer, her daughter Allegra and her brother Santo.

Don't ask Ashton Kutcher about Mila Kunis

So the thing is, once you open the door, it's really hard to shut it again. Almost impossible, in fact. Which is why so many celebrities (Natalie Portman and Penelope Cruz, among them) refuse to reveal much about their private lives from the outset. And then there's those who try to go back. We're talking about Ashton Kutcher, who flaunted his relationship with Demi Moore while the two were together. They professed their love for one another to anyone and everyone, on Twitter, in interviews, on red carpets, you name it. Now that they've split and he's dating Mila Kunis, he's taking a different approach. "You know, I've learned the hard way how valuable privacy is," he tells "Elle." "And I've learned that there are a lot of things in your life that really benefit from being private. And relationships are one of them. And I am going to do everything in my power to have this relationship be private." Moore and Kutcher separated
