About Gemma Arterton
Born on February 2, 1986, in Gravesend, Kent, Gemma Arterton. She was born with polydactyly and was raised, along with her sister Hannah Arterton, by their single mother. Her father was a welder and her mother a cleaner. Gemma worked as a makeup salesgirl before attending Gravesend Grammar School for Girls and then taking a performance arts course at The Miskin Theatre in Dartford. She trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art on a full grant.
Gemma is a British actress and producer, best known for her role as Bond Girl Strawberry Fields in the 2008 James Bond film Quantum of Solace. That role earned her an Empire Award for Best Newcomer. Around 2006, she started acting, and she has since built a career across film, television, and theater. Her film credits include The Disappearance of Alice Creed, Tamara Drewe, Clash of the Titans, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, Their Finest, The Escape, and Vita and Virginia. For acting in and producing The Escape, she received the Harper's Bazaar Woman of the Year Award.
On stage, Gemma has starred in The Duchess of Malfi, Made in Dagenham, Nell Gwynn, and Saint Joan. She was nominated for Olivier Awards for both Nell Gwynn and Made in Dagenham, and she won the Evening Standard Theatre Award for the latter. Since 2016, she has run her own production company, Rebel Park Productions, which focuses on creating female-led content in front of and behind the camera. She has executive-produced four feature films and two short films. She is a supporter of the Time's Up, ERA 50:50, and MeToo movements. Gemma played an integral role in persuading actresses to wear black at the 2018 BAFTAs in support of Time's Up, and she has been involved with ERA 50:50, an equal pay campaign in the UK, since its inception.
