Patricia Clarkson by the pool in Beverly Hills

Patricia Clarkson poses for photographers by a pool -- or by a fountain? -- during a press conference for her movie Whatever Works. This was at the quite lovely The Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills on June 8, 2009. Whatever Works was a comedy of New York types and romances, directed by Woody Allen and starring Clarkson and Larry David, among others. Hey, whatever works.
