Lucy
lookalike
I saw the movie Monsoon Wedding today and when I
saw the
"bride" I thought I was looking at an 18 year old
Lucy.
Astonishing resemblance!

Yes, and she's got piercing blue eyes and, oddly, some
of Lucy's
facial mannerisms. It was weirding me out.
That's a shot at
the very end of the movie when she's
covered in traditional garb.
During most of the movie she's
in western dress and her hair
looks like Lucy's new cut.

Re: Lucy

Are there any pics of her in her slacks and top?
Ya really
gotta see this actress animated. The
pictures don't really convey
the resemblance to
that famous Lucy tv commercial where she is
selling
Getaway Tours.

Vasundhara
Das
A bright-eyed youngster who wants
to use her superior vocals to further her career. A dreamlike offer
which leads her to don the greasepaint and share screen space with
one of the demi gods of Indian cinema. Vasundhara Das has a nice
little fairytale etched out for her life. From the gleam in her eye
as a teenager, to her film offers, Vasundhara has achieved it all.
And she is thirsting for more.
Vasundhara's vocals have been
blessed by the gods themselves. She had made up her mind to pursue
singing as a career when in school, and invested serious time and
effort on it. She trained under Pandit Parameshwara Hegde of
Keherwana Gharana, and carried her interest in singing to college,
where she was a permanent and reassuring fixture on stage, and in
choirs. She won accolades by the hundreds, and this assured a firm
foundation for the future. She also learnt to sing in other
languages like Spanish.
Vasundhara's first celluloid break
came with the Tamil film Mudhalvan, under the musical baton of A R
Rahman. She voiced sensuous siren Sushmita Sen for Shakalaka baby,
and the song was a resounding success. Meanwhile, Vasundhara's life
was branching out to include another facet - acting. She was
initially approached for Mani Rathnam's Alaipayuthey, but the role
eventually went to Shalini.
But the story did not end there.
Kamal Haasan wanted a fresh face to play his second wife in his
mammoth labour of love Hey Ram. The role catapulted her to the
higher eclelons of cinema. Though the film sank without a trace, as
the sprightly Mythili, Vasundhara had made a dent. Meanwhile, she
was also making inroads into the music circuit, and released her
first private album, Meri Jaan. The album was an eclectic blend of
myriad elements and worked very well for her.
Celluloid
acclaim was soon to follow. Vasundhara seemed now to earn her place
as a Rahman favourite, and sang in Rhythm. But he had more ambitious
things in store for her. Lagaan was a monument in the Hindi music
industry, and Vasundhara was given an opportunity to flex her
vocals, this time in English, for British leading lady Rachel
Shelley. This was the biggest turning point of her
career.
Vasundhara now seems to have carved a definite path
to success, and is being noticed by more composers. Anu Malik has
entrusted her with two challenging tracks in Aks, where she matches
voices with the likes of KK. She donned the greasepaint once again
for Citizen, and romanced heartthrob Ajith. Life is a two-ring
circus for this dynamic young performer, and she is poised to scale
greater and greater heights!
