"Salma Hayek let
down her hair during an onstage interview at SFMOMA on Monday night. 'All
the photos have been taken so here goes,' she said, unclasping her barrette
and creating a moment of intimacy with the audience. In a VIP row, George
Lucas seemed enthralled. If he creates a character for her in the next
'Star Wars' episode, you heard it here first. Hayek came in triumph to
the San Francisco screening of her new movie, 'Frida,' a kickoff for the
Latino Film Festival. Both Madonna and J-Lo wanted to play troubled Mexican
artist Frida  Kahlo,
but Hayek beat them to it. Not only that, she produced the movie, which
is sure to be a player at Oscar time. Hayek couldn't have done it without
help from her friends. She asked her current beau, Edward Norton, to work
on the script, which he did at night while acting in another movie by
day. 'He'd sit down at the computer with 10 books about Frida and say,
'Don't disturb me.' He wrote nine drafts for minimum wage,' Hayek told
me. Pal Ashley Judd agreed to play photographer Tina Modotti before there
was a screenplay or financing. 'Ashley said you can count on me for anything
you need,' said Hayek, who sneaked out of the screening Monday for dinner
and girl talk with Judd, in town making 'Blackout.' 'San Francisco is
a special place for Ashley and I, which is funny because we don't live
here. The last time I came here was for Ashley's bachelorette party.'
This area is special to Ashley's mom as well. That would be Naomi Judd,
of the singing Judds, resplendent in a pink knit at SFMOMA. Judd said
the family lived in Lagunitas in the '70s while she attended nursing school.
'Ashley and I slept on a deloused mattress from St. Vincent de Paul. Wynonna
got her own bed.' Kahlo's husband, Diego Rivera, came to San Francisco
to paint murals at the City Club, the San Francisco Art Institute and
City College. Although 'Frida' depicts him working in New York, there's
no scene of him here. 'We didn't shoot it because it would have been too
much about Diego, and we honestly didn't have the money for a trip to
San Francisco,' said Hayek, sounding like a producer." |
