Ronan Farrow requested a post about Eva Green, who has been stealing the spotlight at the premieres of her new film, The Golden Compass. (Earlier, I posted about the movie’s steampunk costume design.) I love her Gothic flair and air of mystery; I wouldn’t have cast anyone else for the role of witch queen Serafina Pekkala. Believe it or not, the French actress is a natural blonde, but has been darkening her hair since her teens.
