Ariadna Gil
31, Spanish actress
"I get nervous if I don't have a project on the horizon," admits Ariadna Gil, the Barcelona-born actress whose best-known role to date was as the sexually troubled daughter in the Oscar-winning 1992 film Belle Epoque. With English-language and French-language films due for release before the end of the year — as well as several other movies in the works — Gil probably isn't feeling very nervous at the moment. Unlike her friend Penélope Cruz, Gil has not set her sights firmly on Hollywood. Instead she has focused on European films. She has played a drug addict in Lágrimas Negras, directed by Ricardo Franco, as well as a novice nun living with a band of anarchists in Vicente Aranda's Spanish Civil War movie Libertarias. She is currently promoting Nueces para Amor and Camera Obscura, shot in Los Angeles by Russian Hamlet Sarkissian.
