The Story
Penelope Cruz was honored at the Museum of Modern Art’s
14th Annual Film Benefit for “her significant impact on the
film industry.” Guests included her director and collaborator
of over 25 years Pedro Almodovar who said, “Penelope is a
warrior, a survivor, someone who can overcome —that’s a
quality that’s very strong in her. And then, at the same time,
she has this almost childlike vulnerability.” Also in the mix
were Lupita Nyong’o, Anne Hathaway, Diane Kruger, Rebecca
Hall, Zac Posen and singers Ricky Martin and Rosalía. The
evening featured clips from Cruz’s key films “Volver,” “Broken
Embraces” and “Vicky Cristina Barcelona.” The evening was
presented by Chanel and featured a preview of her critically
acclaimed movie Parallel Mothers. Previous honorees have
included Martin Scorsese, Cate Blanchett, Tom Hanks,
Julianne Moore, Quentin Tarantino and George Clooney. The
night’s proceeds benefited the Black Family Film Center at
MoMA. MoMA.org
