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 "the One".
Vivienne Leigh , Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner, Audrey
Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Natalie Wood all incredible
beauties that 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 the present. Shaped and molded are two
words that don't fit the subject of our story today,
actress Caitlyn Tyler Cole. The other comparisons do
fit, however. An incredible beauty with a smoldering
raw sexuality, seductive eyes, and a smile to die for
Caitlyn Tyler Cole has that "special something"
a charisma that you can actually feel take your breath
away.
What makes this talented 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.
In her first film, the Miramax hit film SWINGERS, Caitlyn
delivered the insightfully funny line to Jon Favrou
"What kind of car do you drive?" In one succinct
sentence, she epitomized the stereotypical essence of
the Hollywood and LA scene.
Caitlyn's ability to play diverse roles can be seen
in a variety of projects which include many independent
and studio films, along with a recent appearance in
the FX TV series TERRIERS.
Here is a young woman whose natural charisma is matched
by confidence and a determination 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 dreams 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 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 and morals.
Caitlyn lives by these words and they are the reflection
of all she believes and if the word "professional"
can be used to its fullest import (degree) then in the
context it is woefully inadequate in describing this
delightful actress. "I love challenges and certain
roles are extremely attractive. I am often drawn to
raw, edgy, and offbeat material. Also, I have had complete
weapons training for several films and trained with
coach Steve Spry and LAPD-- this was so much fun. What
I enjoy the most is transforming from one character
to another that is completely different. I spent my
youth traveling around the world and living in such
places as the Middle East, Europe, and all over America.
I believe this helped build my foundation and the understanding
of the characters I play. Acting is a business. It is
the small details and going the 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 extremely grateful
to those people who have believed in me and helped me
along the way especially my acting coach Ivana Chubbuck.
She has really pushed me and helped bring my performance
to another level constantly challenging me to grow and
be better. And of course this magazine's editor, Roy
Hahn, who I have known throughout the years. Roy, you
ask me about perseverance and integrity. In my opinion,
the great 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 also seen Caitlyn along the way in many
national print campaigns and commercials. Keep your
eyes on the look out for her. We believe she is the
one to watch.
