She's Out of My Life

gorgeous smile


sleeping beauty...


sad face...

In real life....

Again....

in LUX ads...

How come you got her pictures in real life?
Are you connected to her somehow?
btw, what's her ethnicity? just my curiosity.

She looks like Natalie Portman in this picture

Im just one of her biggest fans who got an opportunity to meet her in person
In real life, she is a pretty shy girl, not much talking and humble both in attitude and appearance. She doesn't suit our imagination about model that be glamour and fashion victim. That's why I began to be her fans since I first met her.

Her dad is pure French and her Mom is Javanese, Chinese and Dutch. She could understand if you speak Javanese, but she cant speak it.

Im agree ...sometimes she looks like Natalie a lot
She could be look like Javanese, Chinese, Jewish, European, etc
She has a multicultural look

Nice pix, heartshapedbox! I read in Hai mag that when she studied in French she had some troubles to mingling with others and they thought she was like a gig and laughed behind her back. Some of them even made fun of her because of her shyness. Poor girl! She was scared to go anywhere. She also said she didn’t speak to anyone for 2 full days.

I have a friend who's crazy in love with her and when he knew that Josh Groban
's video use Mariana as the model, he's becoming crazy in love with Josh too

Yes, poor girl
I could imagine a shy and glasses girl (her eyes are minus 4,5!!!) tried to face the reality that the world wasn't always so sweet to her. But, I think it's good to make her stronger.

Minus 4.5!!! Holly cow! Look at her now! Hey I read in newspaper that she took 'East Timor' as a topic for her thesis in Sorbone Uni. She said she didn't know anything about East Timor but she was eager to know.

Its funny
I love Josh and Mariana, so I was very happy when I knew she would be appear in Josh clip. OMG, my 2 faves in one clip, couldnt wait to see them!

I love to see her sad acting there. Its not overacted or too emotional expressed like in sinetron or Bollywood movie 2 . The sadness is deep inside, I can see it thru her eyes. OMG, this girl can act! I cant wait to see her debut film next April!

I know that from Hai mags. She uses contact lens each time she does her job as a model and public figure.
About East Timor, OMG, she doesnt know at all about it. She even doesnt know who Xanana Gusmao is! What a pity! She should read newspaper more now, not only French or English literature book.

Check this out for her first movie: Janji Joni

Thank you, honey
We also can see the teaser in: JanjiJoniTeaser

It was taken when camera test in last December
She looks a lil bit nervous

Cool

mas pur sampai sembah sujud segala yeah she's pretty even in the eyes of women.

Masih Belajar Nikmati Ketenaran

Si cantik Mariana Renata sekarang bisa bernapas lega. Dia telah
selesai proses syuting film pertamanya, Janji Joni. Saat ini, film
produksi Kalyana Shira Films itu sudah memasuki tahap akhir. Kemarin,
gadis kelahiran Paris, 31 Desember 1983, itu melakukan proses dubbing
film yang juga memasang Nicholas Saputra sebagai pemeran utama.

"Waktu syuting ternyata ada beberapa suara dari luar yang ikutan
masuk, jadi sound-nya nggak bagus. Makanya sama sutradara kami disuruh
untuk melakukan dubbing. Rencananya seluruh suara pemain akan diisi
dengan cara dubbing," terang si Bintang Lux tersebut.

Ditanya rasanya bisa menyelesaikan debut akting, Mar menjawab dengan
cepat, "Aduh, lega banget." Soal hasilnya nanti, pemeran karakter
bernama Deasy ini tak terlalu khawatir. "Ya ada sih rasa harap-harap
cemas, apakah aktingku bakal disuka atau tidak sama penonton. Tapi
deg-degannya masih kalau jauh dengan saat akan syuting dulu,"
tambahnya.

Hari pertama syuting, Mar memang sempat stres. Menurut Wisnu, manajer
yang mendampinginya, malam sebelum syuting putri tunggal pasangan
Andre dan Anita Kirana ini tidak bisa tidur dengan lelap. Paginya,
ketika akan berangkat ke lokasi, Mar sakit perut dan harus bolak-balik
ke kamar mandi.

Sikap nervous memang sudah menjadi ciri Mar ketika akan melakukan
sesuatu hal yang baru. Mar selalu takut tidak bisa memberikan hasil
yang sempurna.

"Dia itu orangnya perfeksionis. Itulah mengapa dia selalu nervous.
Menurut kami dia sudah tampil dengan sangat baik, menurut dia enggak.
Standar yang dia miliki memang tinggi," kata Wisnu tentang cewek yang
sempat tinggal enam tahun di Zimbabwe tersebut.

Di hari kedua syuting, Mar malah sempat menangis. Cewek yang mengaku
masih jomblo ini merasa aktingnya hari itu benar-benar buruk. "Saya
nggak tahu kenapa, tapi akting hari itu benar-benar terburuk selama
saya menjalani proses produksi film ini. Saya nggak bisa apa-apa,
makanya saya nangis aja," ceritanya.

Wisnu menambahkan, sebetulnya akting Mar saat itu tidak buruk. Meski
belum punya pengalaman main film, tapi sebelum syuting Mar sudah
menjalani proses reading (pembelajaran skenario, Red), latihan, dan
pelajaran akting dari Jajang C. Noer selama satu bulan. "Akting Mar
bagus kok. Ya dia nangis karena ngerasa nggak pede aja," ujar Wisnu.

Di lokasi syuting Mar ternyata juga sempat jadi "bahan pembicaraan."
Sikapnya yang pendiam membuat dia tak bisa cepat akrab dengan orang
lain. "Orang-orang sering nanya ke saya, Mar kok diam saja? Apa dia
sakit? Bete? Atau ada masalah? Tapi setelah mereka tahu kalau Mar
memang orangnya pendiam, ya mereka nggak nanya lagi," jelas Wisnu.

Selain lega, saat ini yang dirasakan Mar adalah "takut terkenal."
Bintang klip video Josh Groban yang berjudul She?s Out of My Life ini
memang merasa kurang nyaman dengan segala hal yang harus diterima
seorang selebriti.

"Rasanya nggak enak aja kalau harus jadi center of attention. Lagi
jalan, eh, diliatin dan dikerubutin orang. Bagi saya main film, jadi
model, atau jalan di catwalk itu tujuan utamanya ya nyari duit aja,"
cetusnya.

Untuk menghilangkan perasaan itu, Wisnu berkali-kali menasehati Mar
kalau keterkenalan itu merupakan satu paket yang harus diterimanya
seiring dengan keterlibatannya di dunia hiburan. "Sekarang sih dia
sudah mulai sadar. Meski sulit, saat ini dia sedang berusaha menikmati
rasanya dikenal banyak orang," pungkas Wisnu.

Baru Kenal Nico di Lokasi
Rasanya tak ada yang meragukan ketampanan aktor muda Nicholas Saputra.
Pemeran Rangga dalam film Ada Apa Dengan Cinta? ini banyak diidolakan
remaja. Tapi ternyata itu tak memberikan pengaruh apa-apa bagi Mariana
Renata, lawan main Nico dalam Janji Joni.

"Rasanya main sama Nico ya biasa saja. Saya nggak terlalu kebawa sama
image dia yang banyak diidolakan penggemar cewek," cerita Mar sambil
tertawa.

Tapi suka main sama Nico? "Ya, dia baik dan mau bantuin saya akting.
Kalau lebih dari itu nggak deh. Saya masih belum mikir ke soal pacar,"
jawabnya.

Wajar jika Mar tak begitu peduli. Gadis yang akan bertolak ke Paris
tanggal 1 Mei untuk menyelesaikan ujian di Universitas Sorbonne,
Paris, Prancis, ini memang tak tahu "latar belakang" Nico.

"Saya kenal dia ya di lokasi syuting ini. Saya nggak tahu sejarah
kariernya. Malah saya baru tahu aktingnya di Ada Apa dengan Cinta?
kurang lebih sebulan lalu lewat VCD," ceritanya.

2 days without talking to anyone reminds me of me sometimes I have been in that situation.

Being shy also reminds me of well .......... me .
Well its great she is a success now ! Kids can be so mean sometimes !

UNITE ALL THE SHY AND GEEKY PEOPLE OF THE WORLD !



Yes i know ... i know ...
Benar2 cakep banget deh ...

Olala! you're a shy guy? i don't believe it

Are you still a shy guy now on?




LOL! 2
its funny when she said (in article above) that she doesnt like to be the center of attention becoz of her fame
i mean, if only she was not famous, people would still pay attention to her
she is more gorgeous in real life than on tv and pics
gue aja sampe bengong ngelihatnya

Iyah sih masih .... sedikit , *deep down yah" tapi skarang ngak kaya dulu. You get better overtime i guess.

I remeber before i saw the lux ad when i was in indo and i thought, wonder who she is, probably just some model who would never be heard of or seen again ! didnt know she was this famous.

alrite...we grew up
some shy people even change to be more good looking
maybe the maturity of character and physic influences a lot



LUX ad really makes her famous, like what LUX did to Tamara several years ago. Before LUX, people wouldnt notice her although she was one of topmodel in fashion. Her manager told me that it was so difficult for Mar being LUX star. Public attention and LUX 'rules' almost made her regret in accepting LUX offering. But now, it seems that she tries hard to adapt with changes.
Btw where did you see her?

I didnt see her anywhere before that ... it was the first time i saw her. See most of the time when i go back to indo i just watch the TV and you see many attractive people on the adverts.

But because im used to the situation here were usually people who are on adverts are *usually* not famous elsewhere i just thought she was just another pretty face to be forgotten after the adverts were finished, i didnt realise she was also a model, star and actress.


You can say that, definatly obvious here with Mariana Renata

i used to be a shy kid ....but i think i talk too much now....hahahaha
tapi kadang kadang masih keluar juga malunya

Shy club..... count me in!!!! ......I'm still till now..... people make fun of me coz my face easily turn red, even my Big boss tease me.........

kalo Udin malu-maluin.........lolz........

wow guys! 2 why is it becoming the shy people club? I see each of you as a smart and thoughtfull person, not shy people.

Anyway, heartshapedbox (what a long name it is! ) do you know how come she became the model for Josh Groban's video? Is it made in Indonesian by indonesian?

i think u can be smart, thoughtfull and shy at the same time...
Shy ppl ( esp. girl ) look very much "Ngegemesin"
i love to see ppl blushing...
about the video...i think it's only aired in indonesia....
i saw her yesterday as host for Java Jazz International Festival in TransTv

it wont b happened if u star LUX ads
she also has a good management team and good links in fashion





hmm... i said abt u too

i thought the same




1. Warner Indonesia contacted her model agency, AB Model
2. AB Model gave her name and Warner was agree (model LUX gitu lho )
3. AB Model contacted her manager and he said, "Wait until she come back from Paris"
4. Mar was in Jakarta and had been told abt the offers. Her 1st reaction was, "Who is Josh Groban?"
5. The shooting was done in the beginning of August in Anyer (i dunno by indonesian or foreigner)
6. She was depressed becoz she had to act sadly all day
7. The pics of her was edited along with Josh' pics
8. And jreng: She's out of my life video!
9. Ssttt, (honestly) she and her manager dont like the result
10. But at least, the video got good reaction from public

Wait for her next performance in the video of duet Indonesian male singer and group band. I dunno who, her manager said it would be a surprise

i saw too...tapi kaku banget ya
paling lucu waktu setelah nutup acara, dia langsung ngacir sambil tsenyum malu

makasih

sama2

thanks for the nice chronology I'll be waiting for her next appearence in video.

anybody who lives in Indonesia, dont miss her debut presenting TV prog of JavaJazzFestival on TransTV, at 11pm, this Saturday
Harap maklum kalo dia msh kaku ya

I'll watch it

I watched it...
Duuuh lebih kaku dr minggu kemarin
Ayo Mar, maju terus pantang mundur!

kasian banget sich our Shy Lady Ayo Mar, u can do it!! :loveyou:

Duh gue musti liat deh artinya apa si mar yang kaku. ngomongnya , tampangnya, bergeraknya, apanya sih ?

semuanya
kelihatan bgt kalo dia lagi baca teleprompter
jeda antarkalimat nya kelamaan
matanya terlihat bergerak2, harusnya kan terlihat fokus ke kamera (jgn2 minusnya nambah )
make upnya juga kurang oke, she's more beautiful without make up
gue maklum sih, ini kan debut pertama dia
cuma kok parah bgt ya


gue ada feeling, abis syuting acara kmrn itu pasti dia nangis lagi

hooh...kacian ya
but i'm sure she will evaluate herself and do better next time

hah? again? she's cried before? poor girl

I wish i was there....incase she need a shoulder to cry on....
tapi kyknya dadaku tipis bgt nih...need to gain weight first...

tipisan mana sama Aming?
I watched her again last night. She looked better than before: her moving, expression, make up, dress, hairstyle,etc. Almost perfect! Although she was still a lil bit nervous

i just got info that she will appearance in Chrisye feat PeterPan clip
cant wait!

I've seen it!! yesterday on MTV!! Nice! Nice! Nice!
