Here we have a first look at supermodel-turned-actress Gemma Ward, in character as Catherine Wilson on the set of Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby. And can we just say, HOLY FINGER-CURLS. We pretty much want everything about this picture. Catherine is the younger sister of Myrtle Wilson, Tom Buchanan's mistress. In Fitzgerald's novel, she appears just twice. She is described as having bright red hair — obviously, not something the film's production design has emulated — and Myrtle once tells Tom, "She's said to be very beautiful by those who ought to know." In Chapter 2, Catherine attends at a small party at the Morningside Heights apartment Buchanan keeps for his affair, and she tells Nick Carraway that she's "heard" Jay Gatsby is related to Kaiser Willhelm; that's the night when Tom breaks Myrtle's nose. Later, when Myrtle dies, Catherine turns up at the scene of the accident "stupid with liquor" and has to be driven to Flushing to see the body. [Grazia] More »

Here Is Gemma Ward's First New Cover Since 2008

Jenna Sauers — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 15:10:00 EDT

From about 2004 to 2007, you could hardly swing an it-bag at a newsagent without bumping into a fashion magazine cover with Gemma Ward's face on it. The Australian model was so omnipresent that she made the front of American Vogue — which barely uses models for covers at all — at just 16. But at 19, she pulled a kind of disappearing act: the last time she was seen on a runway was in September of 2007, and her last appearance on a magazine was a cover of Spanish Marie Claire that came out in October, 2008. Ward studied acting and made some movies in this time — she got good reviews for The Black Balloon — and whenever the retirement rumor mill went into overdrive Ward would release a statement maintaining she hadn't "quit" modeling, but she wasn't shooting anything new. Until now. More »
