Finding Early Fame, And Then Retrenching To Take Control

Gemma Arterton’s first fame came from being a Bond girl in Quantum of Solace, not long after she started a professional acting career. That’s a lot of sexism and social media control for a young actor to deal with. But things have changed. “In the past few years she has been noticeably vocal on inequality in the industry and she was instrumental in getting the Time’s Up campaign organised on the Bafta red carpet in London in 2018. ‘I’m a doer,’ she says. ‘I’m quite good at getting things done.'” – The Observer (UK)
