Rachel Weisz is an Agora Girl

Rachel Weisz is an Agora Girl

Rachel Weisz (in Valentino) is joined by producer Fernando Bovaira, director Alejandro Amenabar and costars Max Minghella and Oscar Isaac at the premiere of their new movie, Agora, at the Palais Des Festivals during the 2009 Cannes Film Festival on Sunday (May 17) in Cannes, France.

The 39-year-old British actress, who finished off her look with vintage Cartier earrings and bangles, says the story of her character Hypatia of Alexandria resonates today.

“Really, nothing has changed. I mean, we have huge technological advances and medical advances, but in terms of people killing each other in the name of God, fundamentalism still abounds,” Rachel says. “And in certain cultures, women are still second-class citizens, and they’re denied education.”

She has yoga arms!
It’s great to see an actress with an education, intelligence and talent. Who also refuses to strave herself and leads a normal family life when she’s not working. I love Rachel.

So lovely! She’s one of the few who will age (sans plastic surgery, that is!) gracefully. The green dress is perfection. Can’t wait to see _Agora_.

OMG she’s so gorgeous!!!

OMG! So gorgeous!! :D Stunning!

She is really beautiful, but I think she has a hairpiece. I wish she didn’t wear this because she doesn’t need it. She is such a natural beauty I’d like to see her keep it that way.

Wow! Rachel looks absolutely stunning, gorgeous hair, and the colour of the dress really suits her.

=)

Now that’s a real woman. Talented, versatile and beautiful as sin.

Well she should tell that to her own country the UK who have been hiding some famous killers since years and still, she should also tell to her country to stop SELLING WEAPONS to other countries to stop killing each other , hypocrite b!tch, yes rachel ppl are killing each other with your own weapon.

She is jewish no wonder why she has this kind of comments….well rachel i guess you’re talking about your fundamentalist israeli sionists criminels who’ve killed thousands of innocents babies and womens in 25/or less days in Gaza….

@hahaha:

“hahaha” what a stupid comment, Ohhhh “38, not 39″ that’s a HUGE difference …. don’t be ridiculous.
I’m 26 and when I see Rachel Weisz, oh yes, I still rock when I’ll be 38 (and 39 and 40 and 50).
That’s a WOMEN with a HUGE TALENT!!!

Rachel Weisz needs to stick with green for the rest of her life. She looks unbelievable here, not to mention that adorable short frock she had on the other day.
