Earlier this week famed photographer of the stars Annie Leibovitz added Jessica Chastain to the list of celebrities she has featured in her Disney Dream Portraits series. The famous redhead portrayed Pixar’s first princess, also a redhead, Merida from the hit animated feature Brave.
Today we get two exciting videos that take us behind the scenes of the photo shoot and reveal how the magic is made. (Love the fake horse in the shot above. Makes sense though.) Appropriately enough for the Scottish princess, the photo shoot took place in an area of Cold Spring, New York known as the Hudson Highlands.
Turns out Chastain is a fan of a certain activity enjoyed by many guests at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World – Pin Trading. Below she shares her Pin Trading strategy:Read More »Behind the Scenes on Jessica Chastain’s Disney Dream Portrait Shoot with Annie Leibovitz

Hard to believe that the great Anthony Hopkins had never worked for Disney until he was cast as Odin in Marvel’s Thor. He’s reprising that role in “Thor: The Dark World,” which opens November 8. Hopkins took a few moments out of his day at… Read More »Sir Anthony Hopkins Greets Mickey Mouse at Disneyland
Anyone else here a fan of Lea Thompson? Not only is she starring in the hit ABC Family series, “Switched at Birth,” but she also was in so many films of my youth (Back to the Future, Red Dawn, Space Camp, (yes even) Howard the Duck, and Caroline in the City (one of my favorite sit-coms)). Not only that she still looks like she did on the set of Back to the Future. Amazing.
So I can’t resist sharing her photo from when she stopped by to experience Cars Land at Disney California Adventure with her family and friends. Here she is with Tow Mater, who knows something about time travel himself, in Radiator Springs. I’d love to see her voice some characters for Disney, perhaps in a future Pixar film? Who knows.
