Gemma Arterton

After starring in the St Trinians 'update' and becoming the latest Bond 'conquest' in Quantum of Solace, Gemma Arterton has become a bit of a favourite around the Maxim office. The sultry brunette actress can now be seen posing as '50s sex siren Elizabeth Taylor, in this iconic scene from 1958 classic Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. She pulls it off, too - just remember NOT to think this is how your mum might've seduced your dad all those years ago. Crumbs... 

Gemma's pose is all part of the launch of the Virgin Media Shorts 2009 contest, designed to find hot new UK film talent. For more info visit www.virginmediashorts.co.uk
