Girl crush of the moment . . . .

Is the adorable actress Gemma Arterton. Isn't she gorgeous?






She's not only gorgeous but she has a fablous career too. Arterton won her first professional role (in Stephen Poliakoff's Capturing Mary) whilst she was still in Drama School (lucky girl, eh?). Similarily, she made her first stage debut as Rosoline In Shakespeare Love's Labour's Lost at the globe theatre, London in July 2007 before graduating later that year. She made her film debut in the late 2007 remake of St. Trinians as head girl Kelly, a role she gained in competition with Sienna Miller .

She also appeared in the 2008 comedy Three And Out with McKenzie Crook and Imelda Stauton.

However, she has been most famed recently for her role a the new bond girl in the lastest bond film, Quantom Of Solace, starring alongside Daniel Craig, also her deal with Cosmetic giants AVON .

She's recently caught my eye for a different reason. She is currently starring the BBC adaptation of Thomas Hardy's classic, Tess Of The D'Urbervilles. She plays the part of the simple, yet beautiful country maid whose story ends in such a moving tragedy very well, indeed. Starring alongside the too equally gorgeous Scottish actor Hans Matheson, the story of seduction is just too gripping. 2 weeks in...and I'm hooked .

Tess Of The D'Urbevilles, every Sunday, 9:00 BBC1 .
