English actress Gemma Arterton rose from fresh-faced newcomer to an experienced film and television actress with serious credits to her name, including a sizable role in the 22nd James Bond film, “Quantum of Solace” (2008). An accomplished and award-winning stage actress by the age of 18, Arterton earned her big break with a lead role in “St. Trinian’s” (2007), the latest in a long line of British films based on cartoonist Ronald Searle’s books about rowdy schoolgirls. More starring roles in British features followed, including Guy Ritchie’s “Rocknrolla” (2008) and acclaimed television efforts like “Lost in Austen” (2008) and “Tess of the d’Urbevilles” (2008), which cast her in the title role. The flurry of work was immediately overshadowed by her supporting turn in “Quantum of Solace” as Agent Fields, a M16 operative who works with Bond during his adventures in South America. She was soon announced as the female lead opposite Jake Gyllenhaal and Ben Kingsley in the film version of “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time,” (2009), which helped to solidify her status as an international star in the making.
Gemma was born and raised in Gravesend, Kent, UK. Her parents divorced when she was age 5, and so Gemma lived with her younger sister and her mother. Her father is a welder and her mother a cleaner. They encouraged their children to explore their creative abilities. Gemma’s sister, Hannah, liked to sing, whereas Gemma chose acting.
During her teenage years, she was part of the Masquerade and Miskin theater companies, appearing in productions of The Massacre of Civitella and Guiding Star. In 2004, she won an award for Best Supporting Actress, which helped her to win a grant to study at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA).
Bond girl Gemma Arterton broke a thousand hearts when she married Stefano Catelli – but after just two years she is planning to file for divorce.
The Quantum Of Solace actress arrived solo at a Silver Linings Playbook Bafta party, hosted by movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and Stephen Fry in London on Friday night, where a friend revealed: ‘It’s sad, but her marriage is over.’
