Miramax CEO Bill Block’s Russian model wife started working in Siberia when she was a baby – and is now dubbed Hollywood’s hardest-working mom.

When she’s not raising the movie mogul’s three children and entertaining A-list celebrities at their Los Angeles mansion, Eugenia Kuzmina is jetting to Turkey filming Guy Ritchie’s latest blockbuster Five Eyes with Hugh Grant and Jason Statham, modelling for Chanel, Dior and Hermès, and even impersonating Melania Trump on stage as a stand-up comedian.

In an exclusive interview with DailyMailTV, the Russian model, who was the first woman to have two side by side ad campaigns displayed in New York City‘s Time Square, revealed how she had her first photo shoot just hours after she was born.

 Triple threat: At 33, Eugenia Kuzmina is dubbed Hollywood's hardest-working mom, modeling, starring in films, and performing stand-up comedy all while raising her husband's three children

SpaceX and NASA launched four astronauts from three different space agencies to the International Space Station this morning using a recycled capsule and rocket. The astronauts from the US, Japan and France, blasted off from Pad 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida at 5.49am EST (10:49 BST) on Friday.  About ten minutes later, travelling at about 10,000 miles per hour, SpaceX Falcon 9 second stage delivered the Crew Dragon and its astronauts into a nominal orbit.  SpaceX successfully landed the first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket on a pad, so it can be reused again in a future mission. Dragon is carrying NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)’s Akihiko Hoshide, and the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Thomas Pesquet, who is French.  At about 6.02am EST (11:02 BST) the Dragon capsule, containing the four astronauts, separated from the Falcon 9 second stage and began its journey to the space station. ‘It is glad to be back in space from all of us and we will send our regards to Crew-1 when we get there,’ said Kimbrough.  They are currently orbiting the Earth at about 17,000 miles per hour and will orbit the Earth over the next 23 hours catching up with the ISS before docking.

Вы говорили: “Джек Лондон, деньги, любовь, страсть”,- а я одно видел: вы – Джоконда, которую надо украсть! И украли. В. Маяковский.

Дело было в 1911 году.

Символом Лувра, да и живописи как таковой, стала в массовом сознании по каким-то иррациоальным причинам «Джоконда» — «Портрет Моны Лизы» (1503–1506) кисти Леонардо да Винчи. Укради ее — и прослывешь величайшим вором в истории, автором идеального, невозможного преступления. Невозможное возможно: однажды ее украли, но имя вора мало кто помнит, а поразительно простая по исполнению кража просто курьезна.

Ранним утром во вторник 22 августа 1911 года почтенный живописец Луи Беру пришел в музей делать наброски для картины «„Мона Лиза“ в Лувре» — и не нашел портрет на месте.

Служители отмахнулись: наверное, унесли фотографировать. Несколько часов Беру уговаривал их проверить, так ли это, удостоившись хамской отповеди: «А Венеру Милосскую, часом, не украли?» Выяснив же, что картины нет ни в фотолаборатории, ни на реставрации, музейные работники развернули поиски своими силами, а в полицию обратились в лучшем случае в 12.30, если не в 14.00, как утверждала префектура. В 14.45 полиция заперла все выходы из музея, кроме одного. Эвакуируемых через него посетителей обыскивали. В чем не было ровным счетом никакого смысла: написанную на доске из тополя картину не свернуть и не спрятать за пазуху.
