During our last outing around barrio La Latina we spotted Penelope(a.k.a. "Pene" :o !)'s sister Monica Cruz, and they couldn't be more similar, only "Moni" had curly dyed blonde hair. All I can say is there are thousands of Spanish girls just as attractive as Penelope Cruz or more (and British, and Swedish, Danish, Australian, Russian, American, Mexican,......)you just have to take a walk around.
There are at this moment two young actesses that are very much "in" at the moment and that are B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L: Paz Vega and Elsa Pataki (Richie, check them out, ha, ha!)
There is a tongue-in-cheek tv program (can you say that?) called "Caiga quien caiga" or "CQC" that last X-mas when the Cruz-Cruise couple were here made Tom say: "'YO AMO A PENE'"(or rather something like: "io amou a peinei"), it was pretty silly but also hilarious
I'd say Melanie Griffith is very well liked in Spain, each time they come here for a little holidays, at least a couple of times a year, she tries to speak Spanish and it's very cute, she's 'muy simpatica'.
