Adam Driver may be the headliner of Ferrari, but Penélope Cruz steals the show. The Oscar winner stars as Laura Ferrari, who was not only a wife to the famous car marker but his business partner. However, not much is known about her, despite her husband's much-documented life, which posed a challenge for Cruz and director Michael Mann while they worked on the film.
"Nobody knew about Laura," Cruz told Entertainment Weekly. "So we started to do research together. We ended up looking for people who knew her, and even talking to strangers in the street, because there was very little written about her. There was no video or audio of her, nothing."
The actress was surprised that "all I heard about her was, 'she was crazy. She was difficult. She was a witch. People were scared of her.' So I said, 'We have to dig deeper and see who this woman really was.' It became a personal need for Michael and for myself to give her a voice." |
