Read: NY Profile, Paz de la Huerta
New York Magazine has a really wonderful profile of actress/auteur/troublemaker Paz de La Huerta.

But she has a role in a new HBO series and enough diva in her to leave even Babs shuddering in her boots. (she also has a tendency to take her clothes off. In public).
Mr. DeMille, Paz de La Huerta is very ready for her close-up.
