Emmy Award-Winning Actress from CBS’s “The Good Wife”
Does Her First Cover Shoot for the CBS Magazine
At the Legendary Hotel du Cap-Eden Roc in the South of France

               Julianna Margulies, the Emmy Award-winning star of THE GOOD WIFE, will make her first appearance on the cover of CBS’s glossy entertainment magazine, Watch!, it was announced today by Jeremy Murphy, General Manager and Editor-in-Chief of the publication. The actress was shot by renowned fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier in the South of France at the Hotel du Cap-Eden Roc in Cap d’ Antibes. The pictorial and interview will appear in the October issue of Watch!, on newsstands Sept. 22. THE GOOD WIFE makes its seventh season premiere on CBS on Sunday, Oct. 4 (9:00 PM, ET/PT).

“It was incredibly glamorous and the setting was so magnificent,” recalled Margulies after the shoot. “We shot at the pool, on the docks, rocks and grand concourse. It was incredibly romantic and the clothes were so chic. I actually thought I was shooting for Vogue.”

“I have had the luxury of working with Patrick many times over the years,” continued Margulies. “He was the very first photographer to ever take my picture when I was a waitress, we did a piece for Interview magazine. The beauty of working with Patrick is that I can trust him completely; there is never any doubt that every picture he takes will be exactly what we set out to do. He is so fast and makes me feel so at ease – it never feels like work with Patrick. His confidence gives me confidence, and that’s the best-case scenario for any photo shoot.”

“Julianna was incredible,” said Demarchelier. “She has a classic beauty that is rare and a delight to photograph. Everything about this shoot was fantastic. Watch! magazine shoots in the most gorgeous locations and the talent are incredibly beautiful, and they are easy to collaborate with. It is always a fun, lively experience.”

Watch! partnered with the Oekter Collection, owner and operator of the Hotel du Cap-Eden Roc, to sponsor the shoot, which took place in June. Stylist Christopher Campbell dressed Margulies in wardrobe from Versace, Givenchy, Balenciaga and many other top labels.

“We were delighted to host CBS Watch!, Julianna Margulies and Patrick Demarcheier for a photo shoot at the Hotel du Cap-Eden Roc,” said Philippe Perd, Managing Director of the hotel. “The photography, styling and Julianna’s beauty complement our property perfectly. We have a very long history of hosting the most famous and exclusive guests, and we think these images will be as timeless as the Hotel du Cap itself. They truly capture the spirit and essence of our property.”

“This was a combination we could not resist,” said Murphy. “Having Julianna photographed by Patrick at the Hotel du Cap, the world’s most glamorous setting, was a dream, and the photos are gorgeous. Julianna could not look more chic and stylish, and Patrick soaked up all the elements to create images that are timeless.”

Also in the October issue, Watch! photographed LIMITLESS star Jake McDorman on the Italian island of Ischia near Naples at the Albergo Della Regina Isabella hotel. The 12-page pictorial was shot by Christopher Ross, the in-house Director of Photography for Watch! magazine. LIMITLESS makes its CBS premiere on Tuesday, Sept. 22 (10:00 PM, ET/PT).

“Bringing stars like Julianna Margulies and Jake McDorman out of their characters and to exotic destinations like the French Rivera and Ischia is the essence of Watch!” said Publisher Michael Rizzi. “And working with partners like the Oekter Collection and the Regina Isabella make these shoots affordable and possible. Our readers want to see their favorite stars in gorgeous, romantic settings, and these two features could not have done that better.”
