Gemma Arterton: From RADA to Hollywood, and Beyond
Learn about English actress Gemma Arterton’s rise to fame, her production company, and her personal struggles with bipolar disorder and depression.
Overview
Gemma Arterton, the English actress who won a grant to study at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, made her stage debut in 2007 in Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Lost. She then graced the silver screen for the first time in St Trinian’s in the same year. But it was her role in the James Bond film Quantum of Solace in 2008 that really put her on the map, beating out 1,500 other actresses for the coveted role.
Empire magazine’s The Hot List featured Arterton as one of the biggest upcoming stars in 2010. And in 2016, she formed Rebel Park Productions, a production company focused on creating female-led content both behind and in front of the camera. Talk about girl power!
Arterton’s mother’s cousin is the singer-songwriter Eric Goulden, but her parents divorced when she was just five years old. She was raised by her mother and aunt, two strong and independent women who undoubtedly influenced her own strength and independence. Arterton has battled bipolar disorder and depression for many years, possibly brought on by the dramatic death of her grandmother, who stabbed herself in the chest with a knife at her home in Kent in 2010. Yikes!
