Lauren Hutton Face Of Lucky Brand Campaign

Though she's pushing 70, Lauren Hutton (Liz McDowell from Falcon Crest’s season 7) is proving that an old pro still has a place in the modeling world.

As the face of Lucky Brand's fall Denim Democracy campaign, Hutton is still on top of her game in an industry that generally favors youth and a fresh new face. Lucky executive vice president and creative director Patrick Wade tells WWD that Hutton arrived to the late June shoot in L.A. ever the pro.

“We do shoots all the time with models, but Lauren really made the day," Wade says. "She brought so much energy to the set." Beyond energy, she also brought her own makeup and applied it herself.
Wade's also hopefully that Hutton will be recruited to open the brand's Santa Monica and Beverly Hills stores this fall. "We love her and would love for her to be part of that," he says.

Lauren Hutton Interview

On movies4u.ru, there's a short interview with Lauren Hutton and her co-stars David Duchovny, Demi Moore and Amber Heard on their new movie "The Joneses":

Existing within a society so lost in the throes of consumerism, 21st century America falls susceptible to the demons of materialism almost unconsciously. Director Derrick Borte’s latest film, The Joneses, starring Demi Moore, David Duchovny, Amber Heard, and Lauren Hutton, digs into the impacts our current economic climate has had on society. The film chronicles a the “Jones Family,” the employees of a stealth marketing organization, and how their top of the line goods manipulate the upscale community they’ve been assigned to “work” with.

We sat down with the director and cast at a recent press conference to get their two cents on the project. Check out the interviews below…

All of your careers in entertainment have proven lucrative, and every time a photo is taken, within minutes tons of people are buying the clothes and accessories you’re wearing. In a way, your lives aren’t too different than the Joneses.

Demi Moore: It was very relatable when I read the script. People send things to us in hopes of us being seen with it. That is in fact stealth marketing. What was so brilliant in Derrick’s script is that he took what we all can relate to and turn it into something right outside of the box – but not too far. There’s nothing wrong with having a desire to have nice things. It’s when we place that as a measure of the value of ourselves that it goes askew, or in the case of a film, it goes to the point of leveraging your entire life.

Lauren Hutton: I saw the movie for the first time last night, and you see where you’re dirty. And how it’s gotten onto you, and all of us. We’ve turned into consumers more than citizens. And that seems to be what becomes more important to kids and teenagers.

Derrick, what inspired the project?

Derrick Borte: I was watching 20/20 or Dateline with a story about stealth marketing where models would go out to these bars and order a specific drink over and over again, and they saw this sort of ripple affect of people ordering that drink around them. And there was the idea. I guess I had to figure out what to do with it as far as do you go broad comedy, psychological thriller… But I was fascinated with the idea of reality TV and this forced intimacy of throwing people who don’t know each other into a house. That’s what this really needed to be – a story about these relationships, set against the back drop of the conspicuous stealth marketing.

Did the project inspire you to re-evaluate your own consumerist tendencies?

Demi Moore: I’ve always tried to keep a positive perspective on what’s valuable and the importance of restricting that immediate gratification. Most importantly that who you are isn’t the stuff you have.

How did you keep the characters believable?

David Duchovny: I’m a shitty golfer. I am. It wasn’t important that I get good, I just had to LOOK good. Derrick put the ball where it needed to go. I think that what Demi and I did with Derrick when we first sat down was realize that the “love story” in the center of this very complicated movie was important to pull off. Yet we didn’t have much, in terms of screen time together, to do that. It was maybe 18 pages. How are we gonna do that in 18 pages? That was really our focus.

Derrick, the message of the film is strikingly relevant. What do you hope to leave the audience with?

Derrick Borte: The desire to talk about anything they got from the film. I don’t want to force a message on anybody. Different people get different things from it – if they want to talk about it, that’s what makes me happy.

Demi, what’s up next for you?

Demi Moore: In July I’m gonna do a film with Miley Cyrus. It’ a re-make of a French film that is fantastic, by the same director, called “LOL”. You want good material, you want to do something good and interesting. And for me, things like The Joneses, from the moment I read the script, I thought this was just smart and funny and thought provoking.

Lauren Hutton returns to the Valley

Lauren Hutton (Liz McDowell in Falcon Crest's Season 7) returns to Sonoma for the 13th Annual Sonoma International Film Festival. More than 65 films will be shown within walking distance of the downtown square.

But, more than the films will be featured at this year's event. Festival Director of Operations Mary Catherine Cutcliffe counts 16 wineries that will be pouring and 8 food purveyors that will be serving throughout the event.

The Sebastiani Theater (which was often shown on Falcon Crest) will remain the premier venue, but Cutcliffe told Your California Show that festival organizers are really excited about this year's new screening location, Ramekins Culinary School. All films shown at this venue will have a culinary theme.

"The chef there is going to be creating food pairings with the films," Cutcliffe said enthusiastically. "That's going to be super fun."

Tables will be placed in front of the moviegoers, so they can sample the treats throughout the show. Ramekins also has a full liquor license, so beer, wine and cocktails will be served as well.

The Festival leads off April 15th at the Sebastiani Theater with the world premier of Coals to Newcastle, a documentary on one of the British music scene's cutting-edge funk bands, The New Mastersounds.

North Bay local and Comedian Robin Williams will present film actress Lauren Hutton with this year's featured honoree award.

"When (Hutton) accepted our offer, she asked if her friend Robin Williams could come along," Cutcliffe told us. "We're very excited to have Ms. Hutton here throughout the weekend.

Hutton's latest film, The Joneses (see our news dated 2009-06-14) with Demi Moore and David Duchovny, will be the closing night film on Sunday.

The movie had its premiere two days ago. Here are some pictures from the event:

Lauren Hutton Sighting

Here's a recent photo of Lauren Hutton (65). She was sighted on the Streets of Manhattan on June 24, 2009 in New York City.

Lauren Hutton in "The Joneses"

Lauren Hutton (65) can be watched in a small role in the upcoming movie "The Joneses" with Demi Moore, David Duchovny and Gary Cole.

The story centers on a picture-perfect family that moves into a suburban neighborhood and immediately becomes the toast of the town, loved and envied by all. But the reality is they are a commissioned fake family put together by a marketing company as a way to introduce new luxury-level products to neighborhoods around the world.

Unfortunately, there is no release date provided yet.

Lauren Hutton's Bizarre Behavior

A very sleepy (or stoned?) Lauren Hutton has raised eyebrows after delivering a bizarre acceptance speech at Bravo’s 2008 A-List Awards (which aired on Thursday). The actress started her speech saying, “I’ve been up for 46 hours. It’s a long story, but a good one,” and continued to babble on from there. Check it out for yourself.

Lauren Hutton Blasts Sex And The City

What a strange philosophy of life: LaurenHutton (Liz McDowell from FC's Season 7) has hit out at Sex And The City's portrayal of promiscuous women - blaming "gay writers" for creating the stereotype that single women are "sluts".

During a bizarre rant on U.S. breakfast programme The Today Show on Thursday, Hutton confessed she had never seen TV hit Sex and the City - but she claimed it promoted the untrue myth that it's natural for women to be sexually promiscuous.

She said, "It's written by guys, who happen to be gay, who are sluts. That's what I think.

"Let's face it most men are sluts. That's what testosterone is supposed to do. As a hunter, if you stayed alive after 30, nature wanted your genes out there. Women were just trying to get the best sperm to make a masterpiece.

"You have a bunch a guys who are sluts, writing for women and telling them they are supposed to act like this."
