Actress Penelope Cruz was on ‘Charlie Rose’ last night, where she discussed her latest movie Broken Embraces. Cruz is very genuine in this interview. I find Charlie Rose’s approach to celebrities very relaxing for the celebrity and very insightful for the viewer.
Here is what Cruz told Rose about the influence of Oscar winning director Pedro Almodovar:
“I was fascinated with him as an artist and with him as a person because of what he represented in our country. The first thing I remember was in the ‘80’s, and I was watching movies that I was not old enough to watch. But I was really fascinated by his way of seeing the world.
And the time that I saw Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down I was 13. And I always tell this story, but it’s true, that that was the day when I took a walk by myself after I watched the movie and I decided to look for an agent and try to become an actress so that I could one day meet him and work with him.”
If you missed last night’s interview with Penelope Cruz, catch it again tonight on BLOOMBERG TELEVISION at 8PM and 10PM ET, or listen to the interview simulcast on Bloomberg Radio. Bloomberg Radio is broadcast on 1130AM in the New York Metropolitan area and is available on XM and Sirius.

I’m a 60 minutes fan but Oh my gosh what was with Charlie Rose tonight. Even i was uncomfortable when he was right in Penelopes face talking about her sexuality, she tried everything but he was like “IT’S THERE, YOU KNOW IT’S THERE, YESSSSS IT’S THERE, YOU KNOW IT’S THERE, ADMIT IT,IT’S THERE” what in the world?? That was really out of line, you don’t do that to a woman!! I don’t know if he was getting turned on sitting so close to her or what but again, it was really almost perverted like. Even my brother was like ewwwww, dude! don’t do that again Charlie, how unprofessional – and perhaps a female interviewer will be better for the job next time with a female celebrity!
