Pregnant Reese perfect in Vanity Fair

Vanity Fair director Mira Nair is delighted that her star, Reese Witherspoon is pregnant, and she is incorporating the pregnancy into the film.

“She looks fabulously voluptuous because she doesn’t have that anorexic, Los Angeles look,” said Nair. “Reese has always played the cute girl so beautifully but in this film she is a fully grown woman. She looks very sensual.”

In the film, based on the classic novel by William Makepeace Thackeray, the heroine, Becky Sharp, played by Witherspoon, becomes pregnant.

Nair, who won a Golden Globe nomination for her film Monsoon Wedding, does not consider herself to be an unusual choice to direct such an English film.

“Thackeray was born in Calcutta because his parents were living there at the time and he spent the first six years of his life there,” she said. “When I was growing up I used to walk past the house where he lived.”
