She spent years hiding behind the camera happily playing the role of Mrs. Robin Thicke. Then she shocked Hollywood with standout roles in "Idlewild" and "Deja Vu." Now with "Precious," the incredibly beautiful actress is ready for her big moment. Tucked away in a corner of New York City's Hotel on Rivington, Patton has just finished an all-day photo shoot for GIANT magazine, and, instead of a heap of exhausted, sagging shoulders, she's a ball of emotional energy.
In a cream biker-inspired denim jacket, patterned jumper and flowery Chanel flip-flops, Patton maintains direct but friendly eye contact as tears trickle down her cheeks and she discusses the swelling hype surrounding her upcoming film, "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire."
Watch the complete, behind-the-scenes video here.

Never heard of her before. She's gorgeous. But can she act? We'll see. Saw the trailer for 'Precious'. Gabourey Sidibe is fascinating as Precious, real Oscar material, and Mariah Carey (who has always looked Hollywood fakey-trashy to me) is BEAUTIFUL without makeup. A lesson there for you, Mariah.Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:44:07 GMT | dehautenbas

"The next Halle Berry"...? Is the Halle Berry we have gone, or something...? The buzz about this film seems to be good, and I'm looking forward to it. Miss Patton is nice to look at, but the last time I checked, Halle was alive and well...and an Academy Award winner...Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:59:50 GMT | tequilajoe

Halle Barry is a classic beauty, right up there with Grace Kelly, Sophia Loren, Katherine Deneuve, Jacqelyn Smith, Raquel Welch, Paulina Poritzkova, Daniella Peshtova and many others. The contemporary media is driven by young people who hunger for new talent that they can call their own. I willingly admit that Paula Patton is a sensational standout but, IMHOP, she is not in a class with those that are. Maybe some day, as she matures, she will join the ranks of the most beautiful women. It doesn't happen just because a contemporay wag says so.Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:03:37 GMT | empathic1

Paula Patton may be a lesser known actress but that hardly diminishes her beauty...she is both stunningly beautiful and a talented actress. I've seen both DejaVu and Idlewood...and IMO she delivered superior performances in both roles. I think she is every bit as beautiful as Halle Berry, Jacklyn Smith and other actresses mentioned here. With continued roles I believe she will evolve as a standout actress...I'd say this one has the whole package....beauty, talent and grace.Mon, 09 Nov 2009 06:10:06 GMT | JMdona
