New Jack Siegel

A new Jack Siegel shoot has been found and Willa is looking stunning as usual. I think his shoots are my favorite of hers because they're always her in her natural habitat, they're always candids and they're always naturally beautiful. She definitely photographs well and doesn't need 20lbs of makeup to take a photo. Just a side note to anyone who watched Willa's first episode of Gossip Girl: doesn't it seem like the characters Willa is involved with could have real life counterparts? To me it came right to mind and here's what I thought, "Agnes" = Cory Kennedy and "Max" = Mark Hunter of the cobrasnake. If you know who I'm talking about you'll probably catch the resemblance too. If not, just ignore my ramble. On with the photos!

Now that we've got that out of the way...on to the news! BlackBook Magazine has recently done an article on Willa titled "Spotlight on Willa Holland, Scandal Queen" along with a solo, but very beautiful, photo:

Recently slipping into the Gossip Girl cast as Agnes, a model who befriends Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen ) and has designs on a major role in Eleanor Waldorf’s fashion empire, Willa Holland, onetime model for Guess? and Burberry, plays a doe-eyed climber to corroded perfection. “Agnes is a little corrupt an d manipulative,” says the 17-year-old Bardot-esque beauty, who for two seasons on The O.C. inhabited Kaitlin Cooper, the wild, seductive, shoplifting little sister of Mischa Barton’s Marissa Cooper. Holland understands vampy provocateurs so naturally, it makes one wonder about the inner demons she wrestles with. “I don’t have the energy to rebel myself. I never really went through that stage,” Holland protests.

“I started young in this industry and I’ve grown up fast.” Her career was given an auspicious jolt at the age of six when she was spotted at a party by Steven Spielberg, who urged her parents—director Brian De Palma is her stepdad—to put her in front of the camera. Four years later, she landed a part in her first feature (Ordinary Madness), and her ascent has been steady since, with films on the way in which she stars alongside Susan Sarandon (Middle of Nowhere), Catherine Keener (Genova) and Dennis Quaid (Legion). Too busy to spend weekends getting wasted at paparazzi-filled parties, Holland says she prefers hanging with her O.C. co-star Ryan Donowho for simulated martial arts combat. “We’ll play the video game Soulcalibur for hours,” she says. Clearly, this is one emerging star with a lot of fight in her.
