Anna Friel Wants No Regrets
British actress Anna Friel looks divine on the cover of the August issue of Vanity Fair. The 33-year-old mom models a gorgeous collection of jewels - and not much else - in the magazine's pages.
Anna's career is really taking off: The former Pushing Daisies star appeared alongside Will Ferrell in this summer's Land of the Lost and has four films set for release in 2010. She recently talked to UK paper The Independent about the "exhausting" job of being both a busy Hollywood actress and a mom to her 4-year-old daughter Gracie.
“I love being a mother so much, but this is also an important time in my career where things are finally happening for me. I don't ever want to regret not making the most of it, so I bring my daughter to work with me. Like any other working mum, it can be exhausting, but it's the only way to make it work.”
Anna Friel On Life As A Working Mom
Like so many moms out there, actress Anna Friel has had to learn how to juggle the demands of family life and career since she and her partner, actor David Thewlis, welcomed their daughter Gracie almost four years ago.
The Pushing Daisies star recently talked to The Daily Telegraph about life as a working mom, admitting, “I'd be a liar if I said it was easy.”
Anna, 32, remembers the most difficult days came when she had to return to work shortly after Gracie’s birth, despite being up all hours of the night with her newborn. While filming Goal! in Spain in 2005, she says she went an entire week without sleep.
“The ground was moving and I felt I was going to faint. If you can get through that, you can get through anything. You get so over-tired. You want to be there for your child at night - and I was still breastfeeding, but then I'd get to the point where I couldn't sleep when I did get to bed. It went on and on. Eventually, a doctor gave me a sleeping tablet and I slept for a weekend."
Life is still busy for the hard-working mom, but it sounds as though she’s grown accustomed to the chaos.
“You just have to keep going - keep looking forward. If you stop, you're like, ‘Oh God, it's too overwhelming’. And believe me, I've had my fair share of those moments.”
Anna is seen here last month at the premiere of her new film, Land of the Lost, co-starring Will Ferrell.

Anna Friel In Page Six
Actress Anna Friel currently stars as Charlie "Chuck" Charles in Pushing Daises, and she talked with Page Six Magazine about her life, as well as partner David Thewlis, whom she met in 2001, and their 3-year-old daughter Gracie.
On being told it would be difficult for her to have children: "Knowing that, there was one time that we were perhaps not as careful as we should have been, and bang-o-- I was pregnant. I thought, well, so much for 'it's going to be difficult.' I was 28, and it was the best thing ever."
On her relationship with partner David Thewlis: "He thinks it's something really romantic, us never having gotten married. It doesn't mean we're not committed, but we don't need to change anything because things are quite good. Plus we have a child, which is the most bonded thing you can have, anyway."
On why she'll never give in to Hollywood's stick-thin mold: "I'm not going to come to L.A. and be anorexic. I've still got shape. I eat healthily because that's how I was brought up – I never reach for Cocoa Puffs in the morning."
