“I think the only time I really am truly true to myself is when I’m acting," Evan Rachel Wood explains. "That’s when I can completely forget inhibition and jump headfirst. You look at my work and you’d never know I’m shy...But with acting, I’m pretty fearless.”

If her choices as an actress are any indication—as with her role in Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler, Woody Allen's upcoming movie Whatever Works and a rumored role as literary figure Anne Brontë—there’s no doubt that Wood, the person, is just as fearless.
