Well, I know it's coming out in January, but I was curious as to who it actually is.

Yeah I worte something about it before the "Huge Moving of 2005"!

It'll be Catherine Deneuve!

Okay, WHO THE HECK IS THAT? o_0

She's a French Actress - Played Queen of France in "The Musketeer" with Justin Chambers (from Grey's Anatomy) and Mena Suvari.

check out imdb.

I heard yesterday from an MA at the store in Richmond, VA that the eyeshadows will be available in pan form for this collection. Yay for not having to depot.

If you want to see a great movie with her in it, rent Indochine.

She's done a lot of great work and she is a classic beauty.

Well it's safe to say I don't think I'll be looking forward to the icon collection this year. :/

I thought they generally picked famous people who people could identify easily.

Catherine Deneuve is a legend! She'll make a wonderful icon.

DITTO!!! she's a CLASSIC beauty and has such style and grace! i have ALWAYS been a fan of hers!

She's not as well known in the US, but she has international appeal. And even if you don't know who it is, that doesn't necessarily mean you won't like the collection.

I always thought she was well known. Wasn't she a spokesperson for a perfume or something a few years ago? She truly is a classic beauty.

I LOVE Indochine, but the only movie I've seen of her in beside Dancer in the dark so I never thought of her as a legend. I wonder what colours will be in there!!

ya she might be a hollywood legend as an actress to SOME people... but a MAC icon?? hmmm... oh well im curious to see what colors would come out though... im guessing neutrals.

I said this the first time around, and I'll say it again. I'm glad they picked someone who isn't a US celebrity, and solely that.

Liza and Diana WERE big in their day in the US, but nowadays? Not so much here, let alone the rest of the world. MAC is an international company, yet most of their releases are designed to be marketed towards and appeal to an American and White audience. I wish they would choose someone from India personally.

Also, MAC appeals to a large age range. Just becuase Catherine doesn't appeal/isn't well known to the twenty-something crowd doesn't mean she won't be a great icon. My mother is VERY excited, as am I. Catherine is a great spokesmodel, particularly for the VASTLY overlooked older demographic. MAC has few products and formulas which work with older skin, yet their motto is to be all inclusive.

Honestly, Liza and Diana are questionable at this point as icons. Some of their life decisions have removed them from such titles in my opinion.
