THE INTERVIEW

P atty Jenkins’ vision worked. Wonder
Woman became the top grossing title of
the summer of 2017 in North America
with movie returns equal to more than
$400 million U.S. domestically and approximately $800
million worldwide, making it one of the top earners
of the year, with a female audience representing 55
per cent of the viewers. It also became the highest-
grossing live-action film ever directed by a woman.

For Gadot it has been a stellar time, having been
invited to become a member of the Academy of
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, a host on Saturday
Night Live and the face of Gucci’s Bamboo perfume
among her other exciting challenges.

In addition to her rapidly rising success, the real life
Gadot is a dedicated wife and mother. She and her
husband, real estate developer Yaron Varsano have
two daughters, Alma, born in 2011, and Mary, born
in 2017. The family live in Los Angeles facilitating
Gadot’s work as she brings to life the reincarnation of
the superhero, Wonder Woman, in the Justice League
sequel and Wonder Woman 2, both scheduled for
release in 2019.
