My Take
Paz de la Huerta intrigues me from her name alone, the gloriously aristocratic Maria de la Paz Elizabeth Sofia. A New Yorker who started modeling as a teenager, she landed roles in films as resonant as The Cider House Rules and A Walk to Remember, then built a career as actress, model, and painter, a true born performer. She has always carried a singular, hard-to-pin-down presence, and her career has been anything but smooth. That very unruliness is what keeps me watching. I am drawn to artists with rough edges, and she is one of one, an unmistakable New Yorker.
