The New York Times Article:
‘She’s a punch-throwing, gun-shooting, crown-wearing, sash-bearing, beauty-pageant Barbie with a twist,” says the actress Amber Heard of her role in the Robert Rodriguez action film “Machete Kills,” due out next year. Similar words could be used to describe the 26-year-old actress, who at age 16 fled Catholic school in Austin, Tex., for a try at modeling in New York — but who still listens to the blues and is a crack shot with her .357 Magnum. Heard is also a Guess model, whose va-va-voom looks and progressive views on sexuality — she spoke out on behalf of the L.G.B.T. community at a 2010 Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation event — have earned her many a racy headline. Not that she’s noticed; Heard doesn’t read the gossips, anyway. (So don’t ask her about “Johnny Depp, Amber Heard Are ‘100 Percent Dating.’ ”) “If I had the time, I’d be reading my book or doing the crossword,” she says, referring to her one-week summer before filming “Paranoia,” a thriller with Liam Hemsworth. (Her most recent role was in the film adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s “The Rum Diary.”) In between movies, Heard, who has made trips to the Mexico border with Amnesty International, will work with the organization on a bilingual campaign to help raise awareness about current immigration policies. “It’ll be something we present both on a grass-roots level and a lobby level,” she says. Barbie goes to Washington?
I know, she looks so good in those shots by Terry! Adore the shot where she's wearing his plaid shirt and looking over the shoulder. I'm glad she is at least getting attention from the fashion crowd at the moment since it doesn't seem like she has any major and reputable movie projects coming up. She's just so gorgeous, I hope she does become and will stay relevant as an actress for a while!
