Rosamund Pike's airhead attraction in 'An Education'

Image
From Press Association : Rosamund Pike loved playing an airhead in her latest film. The former Bond girl stars alongside Emma Thompson, Dominic Cooper, Peter Sarsgaard and Sally Hawkins in An Education , based on the novel by Nick Hornby. Rosamund said: "The film that I am part of is set in the 1960s, set in 1962 written by Nick Hornby. We had a wonderful time making it and it's just become this hit at Sundance.

"It was great because I get to play someone who is sort of a total airhead, I mean she is a really loveable ditz and it was just a lot of fun to do a comedy.

Here's the latest and a very nice Carey Mulligan article and interview from The Salt Lake Tribune : Park City » When you see Carey Mulligan 's pixie haircut and easy smile in the Sundance Film Festival entry " The Greatest ," you think you're seeing the next Winona Ryder . But when you hear Mulligan speaking in her normal British accent -- in person or in her other Sundance drama, " An Education " -- you think you're seeing the next Audrey Hepburn . Either way, the 23-year-old Mulligan is emerging as the breakout star of this year's Sundance. Even without Sundance, Mulligan's career is taking off. In 2009 , she will appear in Michael Mann's gangster drama " Public Enemies ," starring Johnny Depp as John Dillinger and Christian Bale as Eliot Ness -- and she has a supporting role in " Brothers ," Jim Sheridan's remake of the acclaimed Danish drama about siblings torn apart by the Iraq War. "She
