''Foxy lady,'' declares Schoeller of the House of Sand and Fog actress, whom he shot solo after first pairing her with fellow Oscar hopefuls Charlize Theron and Naomi Watts. Connelly brought along husband Paul Bettany and infant son Stellan. ''They were the cutest, down-to-earth couple,'' he recalls. Here, ''she looks open without being modelly. I mean you can't help but have her look that way because she's so beautiful, but she just looks natural, which is what I like about it.''
