La DIVA Beals
I’m not a DIVA mag reader, but as soon as I heard Jennifer Beals would be the cover girl of August issue, I decided I must buy that one. For more than a month ahead, Twitter was full of heads-up starting from the @DIVAmagazine itself to all the fans who were holding their breath to see the new cover story of ‘La Diva Beals’. And, frankly, who - man or woman, gay or straight - would resist to a cover like this?
It was thanks to her friendship with Rachel Shelley, THE Helena Peabody of The L Word, that we got to read Jennifer’s answers to Rachel’s veeery carefully selected questions. Rachel has a regular column in DIVA, where she shares anecdotes about her time on The L Word and relates them to her present day experiences.
Jennifer Beals’ DIVA photos, taken by Kharen Hill, are by far some of the best that I have seen. She simply exudes a haunting super sexiness that makes it impossible to look away from her. I really loved a remark I read a while ago about Jennifer saying that she “looks so good it defies medical science”. On the other hand, I’d rather not use or hear any longer these three words: “for her age”. She is definitely not 110, people! At 46 she is just in her full badass glory!
Her latest photographic project, The L Word photo book, has been selling like hot cakes. DIVA magazine will be auctioning a copy of the book signed by Jennifer with all proceeds going to Mia Kirshner’s I Live Here project. (Details at http://divamag.co.uk)
With a sky-rocketing career, being so in demand since The L Word, she has still so much in store for both herself and her fans. She partnered with Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman in post-apocalyptic tale The Book of Eli, she reminded us of the alpha female Bette Porter in her recurring Lie To Me role as the confident Assistant U.S. attorney Zoe Landau, she starred in the indie film A Night for Dying Tigers (currently in post production).
The icing on the cake? Her own show! Everyone who will Ride-Along Chicago’s first female Chief of Police, Superintendent Teresa Colvin, hopes for Jennifer’s recognition in the shape of an EMMY as the lead in Shawn Ryan’s new TV show.
Meanwhile, if you want to see how elusive, mysterious, enigmatic, secretive and – did I mention sexy? - Jennifer Beals can be, you can order the DIVA mag in print as well as digital. I have no doubt that you will enjoy it!
