Naomi Watts, a Hollywood Star, Announced as New Angel Icon

NEW YORK, May 5 /PRNewswire/ -- In 1992, Thierry Mugler's Angel fragrance
sprang from a childhood memory and the dream of a star. It created a great
impact in the world of perfumery, representing the first Oriental Gourmand
fragrance.
For Angel, the world's most beautiful models have embodied the image of a
highly glamorous woman. After 17 successful years, its new incarnation is more
star than ever...

The artiste perfumer's new angel, Naomi Watts, is an Academy Award
nominated actress, who has appeared in an impressive list of films since her
notable debut in David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive." Successfully steering her
career and choosing her films with care, she has worked with leading
directors: Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu ("21 Grams"), Peter Jackson ("King
Kong"), David Cronenberg ("Eastern Promises"). In 2008, she is starring in
Michael Haneke's latest film, "Funny Games," and in 2009 she will star in Tom
Twyker's film "The International" with Clive Owen.
Naomi Watts was the inspired choice for Thierry Mugler, over and above her
beauty and her star image. Displaying a modern touch, the actress projects a
personality that blends sensuality, voluptuousness and evanescence to evoke
the many facets of Angel. A blond fragility, a natural tenderness, an
emotional seductiveness...
Rather appropriately, it was in Los Angeles, city of the angels, and in
the Hollywood Center studios, that the commercial was shot, following a
scenario by Thierry Mugler and directed by director Bill Condon
("Dreamgirls"). A Hollywood fairy-tale surrounded by a profusion of Angel
stars.
To immortalize this mythical moment, Thierry Mugler called on photographer
Ali Mahdavi to produce the advertising visuals of his Hollywood dream. A
worldwide campaign, glamorous and magical, will begin in October 2008.
