Head tilted to one side, eyes friendly but empty: Kristen Stewart seems to be living up to her role as Princess Diana.
Kristen Stewart, 30, takes another step to break away from her "Twilight" past. In the cinema production "Spencer" by director Pablo Larrain, 44, she becomes Princess Diana, † 36. The transformation that the 30-year-old actress puts in for it is almost unbelievable. A first official photo now provides the proof.
The picture was made public by the American production and sales company Neon, which is also responsible for the publication of the films "I, Tonya" and "Parasite". Stewart can be seen in a black bow tie blouse and red jacket. She wears a black hat with a mourning veil on her head, which she tilts to one side in characteristic Diana fashion. The otherwise cheeky hair of the actress now frames her face in an elegant hair dryer wave.

As reported by the US industry portal "Variety", the shooting of "Spencer" has already started. They are to take place in both the UK and Germany. Commenting on her role, Stewart said: "'Spencer' is an immersion in an emotional image of who Diana was at a crucial turning point in her life."
The film is said to focus on a specific weekend in the life of Prince Charles, 72, former wife of Prince Charles. On the very same day, it was the Christmas holidays with the royal family at the Sandringham estate, Princess Diana made the decision to separate from her husband and to get a divorce.
The screenplay is by "Peaky Blinders" creator Steven Knight, 62. The other cast include Timothy Spall, 63, Sally Hawkins, 44, and Sean Harris, 55. "Spencer" is slated to release in the fall of 2021.
