CELEBRITY BEAUTY MOMENT Robin Wright

From her first big role in Rob Reiner ’ s legendary “ Princess Bride ” to her Academy Award-nominated performance in “ Forest Gump ” and starring roles in risky independents like Rebecca Miller ’ s “ The Private Lives of Pippa Lee ” and Ari Folman ’ s “ The Congress ,” Robin Wright ’ s varied career has led her to become a daring director . Whether in front of the camera or behind it , this natural beauty is basking in her glowing maturity while making history in “ House of Cards ;” not as a woman in the shadow of a man , but as a stronger , much richer female character with the same amount of acting and space as the leading male role .

Wright is using her position as a trailblazer to help raise awareness about the importance of women in film . She was among several celebrities showcased in “ Women in Motion ,” an integral part of the Cannes Film Festival ’ s official program that highlights the contribution of women to all aspects of the film industry .
