Much screams of fabulous! love! amazing! emerging from downstairs as our Editrix-in-Chief Sophia Neophitou re-watches Tierney Gearon’s Hollywood Heroines shorts, shot for the New York Times mag in 2012. “Get ’em up on the website,” she declares. And what Sophia wants, Sophia gets. You know that. So here they are – lovely, magical (and occasionally tear jerking, Phoebe’s in bits) films, celebrating that year’s Oscars, containing such delights as Rebel Wilson transforming into a mermaid, Ms Anne Hathaway as a common-old maid and the wonderful Emmanuelle Riva blowing bubbles. We love you Tierney.
