Liv Tyler on Gemma Ward: "Fantastic"

When we ran into Liv Tyler at the Free Arts benefit, we knew we'd have just a few seconds with the actress, who's also a face of Givenchy and a new-ish mom.

Naturally, our thoughts turned to The Strangers, Liv's upcoming thriller film that has Gemma Ward in a smaller supporting role.

And so we asked...

Liv, what was it like working with Gemma Ward?
Oh Gemma? She's great! When she came to the set, she was working with Nicole Kidman's acting coach - not just for Nicole, actually; her coach works with a lot of great actors. And Gemma just came on and did a really great job when the cameras were on. You could see she worked really hard for it.

Was it fun having another really tall girl on the set?
Sure, and she's beautiful...

Yeah, we know. It's distracting. But we can't wait for the film.
The film is going to be great, and the thing with Gemma is, she was so professional. She's fantastic.

We're not sure anything can top Liv's star turn in Empire Records, but still, we have high hopes for Gemma and also for this movie, which sounds very spooky (in a chic way)...
