World Premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival of Touchstone Pictures' SHOPGIRL

WHO: Steve Martin, Claire Danes, Jason Schwartzman and director
Anand Tucker

WHAT: World Premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival to
celebrate the release of Touchstone Pictures SHOPGIRL.

Based on Steve Martin's bestselling novella, "Shopgirl" is a funny
and poignant story of love in the modern age. The film catches a
glimpse inside the lives of three very different people on diverse
paths, but all in search of the same thing. Mirabelle (Claire
Danes) is a "plain jane" overseeing the rarely frequented glove
counter at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills. An artist
struggling to keep up with even the minimum payment on her credit
card and student loans, she keeps to herself until a rich,
handsome fifty something named Ray Porter (STEVE MARTIN) sweeps
her off her feet. Simultaneously, Mirabelle is being pursued by
Jeremy (JASON SCHWARZMAN), a basic bachelor who's not quite as
cultured and successful as Ray. When fate steps in, the outcome
may not always be a storybook ending, because in the end ... it
was life.
