Article courtesy Women’s Wear Daily: Oui, Mamie: Is Gérard Darel setting sail for the U.S.? The Parisian fashion brand has signed American actress Mamie Gummer as its new face, replacing iconic French singer and actress Charlotte Gainsbourg, who has represented the label since 2003. New York-based Gummer, the 24-year-old daughter of Meryl Streep and artist Don Gummer, will strike a chord with the brand’s Hollywood fans, who include Eva Longoria and Jessica Alba. Currently appearing in the Roundabout Theater’s production of “Les Liaison Dangereuses” on Broadway, Gummer has two films due out this year while her first Darel campaign, shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin in New York, breaks for fall.

With the announcement of the Tony Award nominations earlier today, “Les Liaisons Dangereuses” has received a total of five nominations in the following categories:

Best Revival of a Play
Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Play: Ben Daniels
Best Scenic Design of a Play: Scott Pask

Mamie was in attendance at the 3rd International Eurasia Film Festival in Turkey to promote “Evening”. Many thanks to Andrea and Joyce for the pictures. Information on the festival can be found below.

The creator of the “Elizabeth: The Golden Age”, acclaimed British director Shekhar Kapur and Mamie Gummer, the daughter of Academy Award winner actress Meryl Streep have met with cinema lovers in the stars line-up of the 3rd International Eurasia Film Festival. Adapted from the Susan Minot novel by Minot herself and the Pulitzer winner author Michael Cunningham, Lajos Koltai’s “Evening” is a powerful drama that displays the deep affection that unites mothers with their daughters. Garnering attention and praise across festivals, the film features two prominent actresses of the American and British screens, Meryl Streep and Vanessa Redgrave, performing alongside their real-life daughters. The director of “Evening”, prominent director and cinematographer, Oscar and Golden Bear nominated Lajos Koltai will also attend and meet the film lovers in among the 3rd International Eurasia Film Festival’s Stars Parade.

Mamie will be starring opposite Ellen Burstyn, David Strathairn, Chris Evans and Ann Margret in “Loss of a Teardrop Diamond”. The film is based on Tennessee Williams play of the same name and stars Bryce Dallas Howard as Fisher Willow, the disliked 1920s Memphis debutante daughter of a plantation owner with a distaste for narrow-minded people and a penchant for shocking and insulting those around her. After returning from studies overseas, Fisher falls in love with Jimmy (Chris Evans), the down-and-out son of an alcoholic father and an insane mother. She tries to pass him off as an upper-class suitor to appease the spinster aunt who controls her familys fortune. But when Fisher loses a diamond, it places her relationship with Jimmy in further jeopardy. No word yet on what part Mamie will be playing. Many thanks to Caladonia for the news.
