Living… in Beverly Hills, just a stone’s throw from the studio backlots where she films the movies that make her a superstar. She lives very comfortably.
Visiting… London. She’s promoting her latest sci-fi movie, Helix. Although work brought her to the UK, she is hoping to spend some personal time there too. She is getting over a bad breakup with the movie star Jeff King, so she is looking forward to escaping from the Hollywood limelight.
Profession… professional actress. That’s her official profession, but her unofficial one is being America’s darling. As glamorous as it may be to be on the cover of tabloids, it can have its drawbacks too.
Interests… traveling and books. So it was a great surprise for her to find a small bookstore in the Notting Hill area of London that just sold travel books. And even more surprising is the store’s owner, Will Thacker. He spilled orange juice all over her and then invited her back to his place to change. It’s an unusual pick up approach, to say the least. But it worked – Anna left his place by giving him a kiss.
Relationship status… in progress. She is intrigued by the possibility of dating Will who is so much more down to earth
