Actress Explores her Dark Side

Gina Wilhelm Actress - Actress Explores her Dark Side

Apollonia Vanova spends a lot of time being the bad guy. She says she usually plays an assassin or evil queen.

Starting today, you can see her in "Watchmen" being dark, but not the bad guy.

This time out, she plays Silhouette, who, at least in the graphic novel is a member of the Minutemen, a precursor to the Watchmen.

Vanova reveals to the Vancouver Sun that she enjoys playing the villain because they get to do whatever they want, not just what society expects.

She calls it "safe, but evil."

Vanova has come a long way from pretending to be a princess as a girl in Slovakia.

Given her new exposure in what is poised to be the first event movie of 2009, she will probably go a lot further.
