Empecé a trabajar en OLE! y una de nuestras primeras modelos fue Penelope. Tenía 14 años, era muy avispada y vivaracha, ganó un montón de dinero porque casting que iba para un spot publicitario (los mejor pagados) spot que se llevaba al agua. Pero siempre quiso ser actriz. Le ofrecieron el papel de protagonista en "Las Edades de Lulú" de Bigas Luna. Como era menor de edad sus padres tenían que dar el consentimiento. Vinieron a vernos toda la familia (madre, padre, hermana, hermano y Penelope). Hablé con ellos y les di mi opinión. Le dije a Penelope que estaba segura que triunfaría como actriz pero que si yo fuera su madre no firmaría para hacer ese papel que la encasillaría para los restos como "actriz-que-tendría-que-desnudarse-siempre". Los padres me hicieron caso y no firmaron. Luego, por supuesto, hizo "Jamón, Jamón" dónde tambien enseñó bastantes partes de su anatomía lozana pero ya era mayor de edad. Despues fue lo suficientemente inteligente para decir que ya no se desnudaba en ninguna otra pelicula. Y así ha sido hasta ahora. ¡Bravo por ella! Este verano vino a Ibiza con su hermana para hacer una promoción de ropa de "Mango". Fui a verla porque no le había visto en años. Su hermana me reconoció enseguida pero a Penelope le costó un poco mas y cuando ya caía, se la llevó su séquito en volandas hacia no sé donde. (Continuará)
I started work in OLE!. One of our first models was Penelope Cruz. She was fourteen-years-old. Very bright and lively. She earned a lot of money at the time because casting that she went for an ad spot (the best paid), spot that she got. But she always wanted to be an actress. She was offered the starring part of a half-porno film "The ages of Lulú" by Bigas Luna. She needed her parents' permission because she was under-age. The whole family came to see us (mother, father, brother, sister and Penelope). I spoke to them and gave them my opinion. I told Penelope that I was sure that she would become a great actress but that, if I was her mother, I wouldn't sign because I didn't think this particular part was suitable for her as she would be forever type-cast and would have to undress in every other film. They listened to me and didn't sign. Afterwards she, of course, did "Ham, Ham" where she showed quite a bit of her beautiful anatomy but she was older then. However, she was intelligent enough to say that from that film on she would not undress in any other one and that's been the way so far. Good for her! This past summer she and her sister came to Ibiza to promote their designs for "Mango". I went to see her because I hadn't seen her for years. Her sister recognized me but Penelope took a while to do so and when she did, her entourage swept her away, I don't know where... (it will continue)
