The Ryan McGinley 'Entrance Romance' short film, presented by Nowness.com, features the current face of Estée Lauder, Carolyn Murphy, but for this piece, she's less beauty queen and more beauty queen gone bad.
"I knew it was going to be wild when I signed on," says Carolyn Murphy of her experience in the Ryan McGinley 'Entrance Romance' short film. Indeed, wild surely captures the mood. Murphy makes out with a dog, plays a pyromaniac and gets a fishbowl (fish included) smashed on her head. Lord, have mercy.
