========================================================== ========================================================== HayekHeaven.net Salma Hayek Newsletter September 2001 http://www.hayekheaven.net Issue 09/01 ========================================================== COMMENTS BY JACINDA I still can't believe what happened. Coffee and I were in Boston at the time the terrorist attacks hit New York and Washington. We tried to make the best of our vacation but the pictures of the people involved in this horror scenario have haunted us ever since. My deepest felt condolescenes to all the victims and their families. I gathered information on the organizations to contact if you want to make a donation (see below). I hope we will find a way to go on with our lives - in some way or another. You may have seen Salma on the telecast of the 'America: A Tribute to Heroes' telethon. It felt very special to me to see all these great artists united to help. God bless us all. ========================================================== NOW AVAILABLE LIVING IT UP (LA GRAN VIDA) US DVD Spanish and English dubbed version plus making-of featurette Order at Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005N91C/hayekallaboutsal Movie Info: http://hayekheaven.tripod.com/movies_granvida.html ========================================================== UPCOMING EVENTS IN OCTOBER IN THE TIME OF THE BUTTERFLIES TV PREMIERE October 21 // SHOWTIME 8:00PM Based on the novel by Julia Alvarez Don't miss this tale of courage and sisterhood set in the Dominican Republic during the rise of the Trujillo dictatorship.

September 7 John Leguizamo's Live comedy tour Salma and Edward Norton attended the Wiltern Theater for John Leguizamo's Live comedy tour. She wore a sleeveless top with a skirt and had her hair pulled back in braids. Salma chatted with a lucky fan for several minutes. Apparently Salma is enjoying her free time with Edward Norton in LA. US Weekly reported they were sharing a blackberry cobbler at Cynthia's last week. In early August they were also spotted dining at Cafe Luxembourg. According to the Chicago Sun Times Salma created 8 place settings at the do-it-yourself ceramic studio Color Me Mine. She planned to serve a special, homemade birthday dinner for Edward Norton's birthday. September 26 'La Gran Vida' is cheduled for a release on video and DVD in Germany titled 'Living It Up - Nur eine Woche Millionär' hitting stores on November 6. 'Hotel' / Toronto Film Festival Salma Hayek arrived in Toronto to promote her upcoming movie 'Hotel' shortly before the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon. Co-star David Schwimmer and Salma didn't attend the press conference for the movie as they felt it might appear "frivolous" for them to do so. Instead they rented a car together with David Arquette and drove to Chicago where they were allowed to catch a flight to Los Angeles. Director Mike Figgis said of his actors joining him: "They felt as a mark of respect that they didn't want to do that, which I entirely endorse. I had reservations myself. [..] It is quite difficult for actors to be on a stage answering questions in the best of circumstances and I think that they were very concerned not to be in a situation of any kind of frivolity. I think they're devastated and didn't want to put themselves in that position." The film festival's official website posted a report on the press conference. Even though most activities of the festival were cancelled there was a screening of 'Hotel'. We found three reviews that give the movie mixed response. The first two reviews describe Salma's performance as standout performance of a terrific ensemble cast which includes a cameo by John Malkovich. The last review is very negative and even states the movie might not get a distributor. 'In the time of the butterflies' to air October 21 SHOWTIME has rescheduled the premiere of the Showtime Original Picture 'In The Time Of The Butterflies' from October 7th to October 21st at 8:00 pm (ET/PT). This is due to the live broadcast of the 53rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards which will now be held on October 7. 'Frida' Premiere Magazine / European release The October issue of Premiere Magazine features a short article on 'Frida' plus several new promotional photos. The Irish Times has another article on the movie called 'Fighting for Frida'. Edward Norton was asked about his relationship to Salma and the movie by The Times responding very fondly: "It's a labour of love for her and it's really a testament to her because she produced it. All the people in it came because of their affection for her." Furthermore the IMDB reports European release dates for the movie. So far these countries have been mentioned: The Netherlands April 4 | Belgium April 17 | Czech Republic May 23 Donate for 'America: A Tribute to Heroes' On September 21 up to 89 million people in the US watched the live two-hour telethon 'America: A Tribute to Heroes'.
