Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones they made in between.
Today, we dive into the career of the stunning and stunningly talented Penélope Cruz. The indelible actress broke on to the scene in 1992 with Jamón Jamón, followed a few years later by her first collaboration with Pedro Almodóvar in Live Flesh. Soon enough, Cruz was in Hollywood pictures like Blow and The Hi-Lo Country.
Our B-Sides include: Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, Chromophobia, Twice Born, and this year’s The 355. Joining us today is returning guest Katharine Clark Gray of Uncompromised Creative. Gray is a writer for the Wait What network, and was part of the team recently awarded two Webby Awards for the episode “President Barack Obama: When the moment chooses you, part 1.”

With the annals of cinema relatively bereft of material on the subject, few narrative films have touched on it so pointedly or deftly as The Paper Store, directed by Nicholas Gray.
Co-written by Katharine Clark Gray – based on her play 516 (five-sixteen) – we are thrust into the hands of narrator Annalee (Stef Dawson), a college dropout who, after successfully running a paper forgery operation, is enlisted by Sigurd (a very game Penn Badgley) to forge his entire course-load for an undergrad-level cinema class while he works on his thesis.

As he reads her words, delivered with...
