Vinessa Shaw Is Caught In A Love Triange With 'Two Lovers'

Actress Vinessa Shaw stopped by the studio to talk about her role as Sandra Cohen in the New York City romantic dramaTwo Lovers, which premieres this Friday, February 13. The film also stars Joaquin Phoenix and Gwyneth Paltrow.
According to IMDB, "Two Lovers tells the story of Leonard (Phoenix), an attractive but depressed young man who moves back in with his parents following a recent heartbreak. An aspiring photographer, Leonard works part-time at his father's dry-cleaners. His concerned parents try to set him up with Sandra (Shaw), the sweet and caring daughter of a close family friend.
"A big family dinner serves as their introduction and Leonard arranges to see her again. Then late one night Leonard looks out his bedroom window and notices a ravishing young woman he's never seen before. Michelle (Paltrow) recently moved into an apartment in his family's building - an apartment paid for by the wealthy married man she's seeing."
A native of Los Angeles, Shaw's other film credits include 3:10 to Yuma, The Hills Have Eyes, 40 Days and 40 Nights and Eyes Wide Shut.
