Gemma Arterton arrives at the Electric Cinema in Notting Hill, west London, for a screening of Funny Woman, the Sky TV show.
The series is based on the 2014 novel Funny Girl, by Nick Hornby, who had his heyday in the 1990s with Fever Pitch and High Fidelity.
Arterton plays a 1960s beauty queen from Blackpool who works in a factory making sticks of rock.
But she has dreams of being an actress and moves to Swinging London, where she takes the name Sophie Straw and begins to make her way in showbusiness.
Arterton recently revealed that she gave birth to her first child, a boy, shortly before Christmas.
The 37-year-old British actress, best known for films including St Trinian's and Quantum Of Solace, announced the news on the Zoe Ball Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2 on Wednesday.
After host Ball prompted her by saying "Congratulations are in order", Arterton said she and her husband, Irish actor Rory Keenan, were "very, very happy".
She added: "He was born just before Christmas. A little Christmas elf."
Praised by Ball for looking "utterly fabulous", Arterton jokingly replied: "The power of the paintbrush, as I would say."
Arterton was previously married to fashion consultant Stefano Catelli for four years before the pair divorced in 2014.
She began her career on stage before making her feature film debut in 2007 in the highly popular reboot of St Trinian's, in which she played Kelly Jones, the resourceful head girl at the infamous school.
The actress went on to portray Bond girl Strawberry Fields in the James Bond film Quantum Of Solace and was later nominated for Olivier Awards for her work in musicals Nell Gwynn and Made In Dagenham.
