Is Jessica Biel another Indian wannabe? Kind of.

Disney Dream Portrait SeriesFrom Never Land to flying carpets to the forested domain of an Indian princess, movie stars and celebrities travel to their very own Fantasylands in a new round of images from photographer Annie Leibovitz.

The new images continue the "Disney Dream Portrait Series" of celebrity photography produced by Leibovitz, spotlighting more celebrities living out their fantasies by starring in Disney dream scenes.
The picture of interest:Actress Jessica Biel is portrayed as Pocahontas in an image titled "Where Dreams Run Free," created by photographer Annie Leibovitz.Comment:  So Jessica Biel dreams of running free like a member of a different race and culture: an Indian girl. Does she also dream of grinding corn and softening hides like an Indian girl? Serving as a hostage and a political pawn like an Indian girl? Probably not.
