What makes a Movie Star? Hollywood royalty. Those stars are a rare group who have been deemed by their loving fans or studio publicists with "that something special" in essence making them "theONE". Vivian Leigh, Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Natalie Wood. All incredible beauties. And all those beauties were taken, created, molded and shaped into a ravishing, seductive, sex symbol by the studio star system of days gone by- from the glory days of Hollywood so to speak. Fast forward to 2003. Shaped and molded are two words that don't fit the subject of our story today, actress Caitlyn Cole. The other comparisons do fit, however. An incredible beauty with a smoldering raw sexuality, seductive eyes, and a smile to die for, Caitlyn Cole has that "special something" a charisma that you can actually feel take your breath away. What makes this talented young actress the focus of our attention today is that along with incredible beauty, she has a professional work ethic which Hollywood's new generation of stars, who hope to succeed would do well to emulate. It is something producers and directors look for, no make that pray for. From her insightfully funny line she delivered to Jon Favreau in the Miramax hit film, SWINGERS, "What kind of car do you drive"(in one sentence epitomized the true essence of Hollywood and LA) to her ability to play diverse roles as seen in her latest upcoming independent films Wrong Way To Sundance and Oasis this actress truly defines a clear and focused vision for her career. Here is a young woman whose natural charisma is matched by confidence and a deter-mination that has been unwavering in its focus which only enhances her beauty and appeal. She studies diligently, is committed to her craft and while appreciating references to her looks, there is a genuine humbleness that surrounds Caitlyn Cole.

Her laugh alone is worth the price of admission. It's infectious, pure and honest. And those three words perfectly describe her. How on earth did a girl this sexy and talented get to be this way? As Caitlyn puts it, "I owe it to my family, my parents." (Her father whose passing left her heart broken but more determined than ever to fulfill the dream he saw her begin). "And most importantly, are those friends and people who help you along the way are gifts we need to be thankful for everyday. We can easily forget and get caught up in our daily grind. It is very important to recognize your given gifts -this not only includes your talents, but also your family and friends around you. You work hard, be honest, respect others, and give back to help others as they have helped you, never forgetting the foundation you have built for yourself- your character-your morals."
Caitlyn lives by these words and they are the reflection of all she believes and if the word "pro-fessional" can be used to its fullest import (degree) then in this context it is woefully inadequate in describing this delightful young lady. " I love challenges and certain roles are very attractive. I am drawn to raw, edgy, and often dark, offbeat material. But what I enjoy most is transforming from one character to playanother that is completely different. My youth was spent traveling around the world and living in such places as the Middle East, Europe, and all over America. I believe this helped build my own foundation and also the characters I play. Acting is a business. It's the details and going
that extra mile for someone or in your work that
will set you apart from others." "Loyalty is also very important to me and unfortunately is often lost in this industry. I am very loyal and grateful to those people who have believed in me and helped me along the way like my attorney, Bob Myman, acting coach, Aaron Speiser, manager Albert Gianelli, creative consultant Cesare' (who has helped define my essence into the market place) and this magazine's editor, Roy Hahn who I have known through the years. Roy, you ask me about perse-verance and integrity. In my opinion, the Winston Churchill says it best; Never give in, never, never, never in nothing, great or small large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense." You may have seen Caitlyn along the way in many national print campaigns and commercials, along with her known role in SWINGERS.
Look for her this year in several independent films including Scared, American Friends & Lovers, Wrong Way To Sundance, Oasis, and Play Ground Girls. This is a break out year for this actress. Keep yours eyes out for her. We believe she is the one to watch.
