6. What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done? I’m just crazy. Nuff said.
7. What brought you to LA? I can try to explain what prompted me to move to Los Angeles, but the truth is that it just happened when the time was right. Doors were opening in my career as an actress, and I walked through.
8. What’s your favorite hobby and why? I have many hobbies, and keep picking up more as I go. I’m a crafts junkie, I think.

I get lost in creating something tangible… something to contribute both functionally and aesthetically.
9. What’s your guilty pleasure? Dark chocolate.
10. Who do you admire? Meryl Streep & Paul Newman

the performance of this rare beast.
EXTERIOR: With a total of only 20 produced worldwide it shouldn’t be hard to pick this one out of a line-up. Designed to resemble the likes of a ghter jet with choppy lines, smooth curves and new paint created specically for the Reventón, a mid
opaque green/gray without its usual shine, commands attention. Lets just hope the attention doesn’t come equipped with ashing red and blue lights.
ENGINE: It’s named after a famous ghting bull with a reputation of killing the famed bullghter Felix Guzman in 1943.

This reputation has been injected into this 12 cylinder monster with a 0-62 MPH in 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 211.3 MPH. This machine is a screamer that will ensure you are the leader in any pack.

the rear with a diffuser featuring an accentuated shape. This guarantees excellent road grip and stability even at 211 MPH. The front is characterized by the acute angle of the central ‘arrow’ and by
the powerful forwardfacing air intakes. The abundance of air produced by these is necessary to cool the carbon brake disks and the six cylinder callipers for the times you need to stop and ll-up. RM
