The Effortlessly Beautiful Amber Heard Behind The Scenes of Women's Health

Even with her recent success, Amber shows scars from her childhood. Words build up inside her like a boat taking on water, and she bails them out as a matter of survival. She reads voraciously (she just finished Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children), as if compensating for years of missed education.

Before The Playboy Club began filming, Amber and the show's creator, Chad Hodge, met for dinner. She brought him a 1963 copy of Playboy—a relic of the time they were about to re-create. It was a gift, but also a signal: Amber had studied up. Hell, she just about lapped him in knowledge of the club. He loved it. "People don't behave that way anymore," says Hodge. "She has the class of a person who's lived nine lives."

During filming, Amber kept going. Sexual politics and feminism are topics that might have set hair on fire in Texas—especially with enough hair spray—and she wanted to talk about them. "I wouldn't describe her as someone on a mission to be argumentative," says Hodge. "She's interested in interesting things. And interesting things are often more controversial."



Despite her outspokenness—or perhaps because of it—she also won over Rum Diary director Bruce Robinson and, it would seem, her costar Johnny Depp. When some of the cast went out to blow off steam after a day of shooting, she would disappear. And at the end of filming, says Robinson, "I remember Johnny and I saying, 'Jesus, where's Amber?' "

What young actress passes up drinks with a film god like Johnny Depp? One who prefers to make an impression on the job, not off it. But also, one who was in a serious relationship at the time. With a woman.

“I personally run, just because that’s all, for me in time management,
running seems to be the most time-accommodating exercise to do. I have
recently gotten into tennis, and I also do Pilates in LA. It’s funny,
because once you start working to really do an hour, you start feeling
so much better that it becomes something that you make time to do. We as
human beings always make time for the things we really want. I just
feel so much better when I start working out that you just find time to
do it.”
