Vanity Fair’s 2024 Hollywood issue unites 11 stars including Star Wars alumni Natalie Portman and Pedro Pascal, who talk about everything from their first auditions to their most unforgettable lines.
For our 30th annual Hollywood Issue, we’ve chosen 11 vibrant, wildly different stars seizing this moment. We gathered them together over two sunny January days in Los Angeles, under the direction of photographer and filmmaker Gordon von Steiner, to talk about everything from their first auditions to their most unforgettable lines—and, of course, to create this year’s VF Hollywood cover, an homage to our first foray into the form three decades ago.
The uncertainties, of course, can’t be denied: The entertainment industry just emerged from the most profound work stoppage in its history. Audiences are splintering, bottom-line priorities are intensifying, and there are still existential questions about the future even as cameras start rolling again. But if movies as surprising and visionary as Barbie and Oppenheimer can smash box office records even as Marvel and DC franchises nose-dive, it’s clearly time to shake things up.
