LA, Los Angeles Times Magazine takes a closer look at Gemma Arterton as she transitions from eye candy (her words) in big-budget action movies “Quantum of Solace” and “Clash of the Titans” to the title role of the literary adaptation “Tamara Drewe”. Photographed by Sebastian Faena and styled by Beth Fenton, Arterton lets her freckles shine through and looks luminescent in underwear-as-outerwear couture. The 24-year-old talks about why actresses should be able to tackle any type of role, “whether we’re getting in bed with James Bond or being hacked to pieces,” how she landed “Tamara Drewe”, and why–despite being proud of the oddity–she regrets ever mentioning she was born with twelve fingers.
The annual beauty, health and wellness issue also features stories on celebrity fitness trainer Tracy Anderson, the art and science of aging gracefully, the latest in breast cancer treatments, and USC track star Bryshon Nellum’s battle back from gunshot wounds. This month also introduces a new feature, QinLA, with “Dexter” star Michael C. Hall answering LA-inspired queries.
The magazine isn’t actually available at newsstands, convenience stores, etc. It’s through subscription. The complete story and all of the photos will be available @ www.latimesmagazine.com.
