Gal Gadot

She's been appearing in news lately and making talk show rounds since she plays Wonder Women in the upcoming Batman v Superman movie. Based on the few clips I've seen of her, she seems down to earth, charming, and a natural beauty.

She jokes around with Jimmy Kimmel here:

The only reason this name is familiar to me is because a couple of years ago she did this bikini clad ad for Israeli tourism and it had a lot of controversy... It was so hilarious that the NY Post did a cartoon with a burqa clad woman mimicking the ad... I'm glad to see she is out acting...
 
Reviews of the movie are starting to surface. It doesn't sound so great, but this critic had praise for her:

Gadot's Diana Prince is a spellbinding combination of Amazonian brawn and a gliding, regal sylph. I just wish she had more to do, because she's excellent with what little material she's given.

It looks like a lot of training and hard work for this role:

When asked about the fighting style of the Amazons, Gadot had a hard time describing their acrobatic MMA hybrid, saying, “Wow, the training. Yeah, I did a lot of training. I did swords training. I did boxing. I did martial arts. I don’t know what to call the styles that I’ve been taught. Really, it’s a real mix of everything, because all the stunt coordinators, they come from every discipline. So she just takes something from everybody, and they just made it into this amazing fighting style.”

And this is great!
Gal Gadot asked for this role five years ago, without actually realizing it: “I used to travel to Los Angeles and take general meetings with different producers, writers, directors, and they kept on asking me the same question over and over again: ‘What’s your dream role?’ I kept on saying, ‘I’m open to all genres as long as the story’s interesting enough. But if you really ask me what would I like to do, it’s to show the stronger side of women, because I feel that there’s not enough stories being told about strong women, independent women.’ And little did I know that five years later, I’d land the part.”

The idea of a strong heroine that her daughter can look up to — a princess that doesn’t need rescuing — is thrilling for both Gadot and her daughter, Alma, who is “super excited” about her mom’s movie. Gadot also observed that the only female role model she had to look up to growing up was her mother, and that this film may change that: “I feel very proud that finally this movie’s being made, because all of you guys — all men, all boys — always had a figure to look up to, whether it’s Superman, or Batman, or Spider-Man, or whatever it is, they always had heroes to look up to. For girls, it’s always the princesses, who are being saved, who are being passive, and finally Wonder Woman. She’s fierce, she’s proactive, she believes in herself, she believes she can do everything. That’s a true woman, to me.”
