Cultural Life: Gemma Arterton, Actress
From The Independent

Interview by Charlotte Cripps
Friday, 25 April 2008

Film
I'm one of the Bond girls in Quantum of Solace, so I watched Daniel Craig in Enduring Love on DVD. Lots of the previous Bond girls have been quite negative about being a Bond girl -- but I am thrilled to be in it! I saw The Other Boleyn Girl because my friend Eddie Redmayne, who also stars with me in the BBC drama Tess of the d'Urbervilles that we are filming right now in Bath, is in it. As filming Tess is quite depressing, I've been watching comedies to cheer myself up, including Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

Introducing... Gemma Arterton, the new Bond girl
From The Observer

Gemma Arterton might be beautiful, talented and one of Britain's brightest acting hopes but I don't think she's got what it takes to make it as a diva. She's just too normal. 'I still have student debts to pay off,' says the 22-year-old, who recently beat 1,500 nubile hopefuls to become the newest Bond Girl. 'I think I've used most of my earnings buying bits and bobs from Primark.'

New Bond girl spills the beans on Quantum of Solace.
by Chris Tilly, IGN UK

UK, January 29, 2008 - Gemma Arterton has only been acting for six months, but the 22-year-old has already won plum parts in Brit flicks St. Trinian's, 3 and Out and Guy Ritchie's forthcoming RocknRolla. If that wasn't enough, she's also playing a Secret Service agent in new Bond film Quantum of Solace, and IGN interviewed her on set last week to discuss landing one of cinema's most sought after roles.

Meet the New Bond girls - Gemma and Olga
From The Mirror

EXCLUSIVE: FROM UKRAINE AND KENT TO BIG SCREEN
By Alun Palmer On The Bond Set At Pinewood 28/01/2008

They come from very different backgrounds. One is the daughter of a Gravesend welder while the other was brought up by a single mum in a bleak, impoverished Ukrainian backwater.

But Gemma Arterton and Olga Kurylenko have both been plucked from obscurity for roles in the new Bond film, Quantum of Solace.

Everything Changes but Bond
From The Guardian

Gemma Arterton, 21, is only six months out of drama school and is now playing Agent Fields, an MI6 field agent at the Bolivian consulate. She is possibly the youngest spy to ever appear in a Bond movie. "She doesn't do anything too advanced, it's not like she's killing people," she reveals. In response to the main question, she says: "Yes I do kiss Daniel Craig. The kiss has happened and yes [pause] it was quite incredible. It was all a bit of a daze. I felt such a giggly girl because he's such a man."

Perfect moment
From Arena (UK) - February 2008

Beautiful, fun-loving and not afraid to tell stories that make Russell Brand look stupid? The time is now for St Trinian's head girl Gemma Arterton

You may not recognise Gemma Arterton by name, but you probably recognise the face by now. Despite stiff competition for our attention (including Mischa Barton, Lily Cole and Bond girl Caterina Murino), this is the girl who dominated every single poster announcing the welcome comeback from London's iconic Ealing Studios: their 21st century take on schoolgirl classic, St Trinian's. Severe black bob, red lipstick, crumpled white shirt, towering gait. You remember...

And From Gravesend With Love...
From Sunday Express

There's more than a touch of the naughty schoolgirl about Bond's other female sidekick.

Gemma Arterton turned down a place at Britain's most prestigius acting school with a line that might have come straight from Kelly, the unruly head girl of St Trinian's she plays in the current remake.

Head girl to Bond girl … St Trinian's star Gemma Arterton is on the up.
From The Scotsman

PLAYING THE HEAD GIRL, KELLY, IN the recently released St Trinian's, Gemma Arterton exudes a subversive sexuality. "You don't need to show flesh to get attention," she tells me, "my character is womanly but sophisticated." With her jawline bob, red lipstick and crisp white blouse, she proves that less is more. Russell Brand, who plays Flash Harry, seems transfixed by her. No wonder the producers of the new James Bond film have snapped her up for a leading role.

From The Observer (The Guardian)

· Rada-trained Arterton, 21, plays head girl Kelly in the new St Trinian's film. 'She's the baddest of them all,' she says of her character. 'She's 17 going on 30.'

Buzz Uncut: Gemma Arterton
From Total Film

On the set of St. Trinians...

So you play the head girl in St Trinians. What’s she like?
She’s the coolest one out of everyone. She’s 17 going on 30; she’s got control over everyone and everything. All the teachers, she makes sure that they’re not misbehaving. She’s the baddest one but she doesn’t have to prove it to anyone. She’s like a gangster in that respect. She’s the one that you don’t mess with!

St Trinian's - Location: Henley-on-Thames, England
From Empire (UK) - October 2007

"There is no smack or heroin or anything," ponders Gemma Arterton, aka Kelly, head-girl of St Trinian's. "But there are references to sex and smoking joints and alcohol."
