// 2010-06-05 AnnaLynne McCord Visiting Gifting Services

In just a few short years, AnnaLynne McCord has broken down the very difficult doors of Hollywood and has made her stunning presence known. Just a couple years after appearing in her first project, she secured the part of Eden Lord in the hit series Nip/Tuck. Then she secured the role of Naomi Clark in the revised Beverly Hills 90210 series. Astoundingly, with these two roles, she she has nailed the bad girl image and it wouldn’t be surprising to think that that’s who she is. But it’s not!

Unlike many pretty faces in Hollywood, not only is she one of the sweetest and giving people I’ve met in this town, she’s also incredibly dedicated to her craft. During my interview with her, she truly impressed me.

She may have won me over, but if you’re not won over yet, you should know, that when I say she’s giving, she’s giving. Not only does she donate a ton of money to needy causes, she volunteers for a variety of charities such as the Blind Project to help those who truly need it.

YOU MAY KNOW HER FROM: 90210 (2009-Present) | Nip/Tuck (2007-2009) | American Heiress (2007) | Ugly Betty (2007) | The Transporter 2 (2005)

Ever wonder how celebrities maintain their beautiful skin? The following is part of an interview between AnnaLynne McCord of Beverly Hills 90210 and Scott-Vincent Borba, Celebrity Esthetician & Founder of BORBA Skin Care.

My conversation begins with AnnaLynne telling me that she started in stage very young at the age of nine. She shared with me that while her parents loved her quoting Shakespeare and bringing on tears at will, they were afraid for her to do the Hollywood thing and didn’t quite support it.

Now with her talents being noticed, she just finished two new projects in a genre she said she loves most – Action! She stated “ I love bad ass, strong female roles.”

I told her that this is awesome because she reminds me of an Angelina Jolie type. Since her response to what I said was so awesome and I don’t think I can do it justice, I’ll just let you see what she said:

” Thank you! I’ll definitely take that. I love her so much. And for a million reasons. She incredible woman/actress/mother. And she’s one of the actresses who’s also really using her voice in a humanitarian way to make the world better. The whole package is amazing. So thank you so much.”

I can see the same career path for her too.

I then let her know that I watch 90210 and am a huge fan of how good she is at expressing facial emotions before she even says anything and that a lot of people I see on screen can’t. She told me about a book she read that helped her see how she does this called “the Power of the Actor” by Ivana Chubbuck which talks about actors who think they’re really good because they can cry on cue. Yet people in real life don’t really want to cry in real life in front of other people – that they fight it like it’s the worst thing in the world. That you’re supposed to see the emotions and it becomes a secret – like guilt, shame, fear or pain and then you cover it. This provides a connection to you and the audience that other players on the stage might not see and it’s your secret. For both of us, it was a really cool understanding of connecting with the audience.
I then started to talk to her about beauty and skin care. Here’s our dialog:

Scott-Vincent Borba (SV): What [has been] your biggest skin care challenge, and what is your biggest skin care issue that you’d like an answer to?

AnnaLynne McCord (AM): That would be acne. It’s more or less just keeping a handle on it 9 months of the year knowing that I’ll be going to work and going to have to be in makeup, or debris, or have to do what I’m doing all day.

The starlet makes being charitable look so stylish!

AnnaLynne McCord may play self-centered, spoiled Naomi Clark on 90210, but in reality, the starlet couldn’t be any more different! We got to catch up with the down to earth gal at Express’ 30th anniversay party hosted by Vogue in NYC on May 20, where she spilled on her stylish must-haves and how important it is to give back!

“Right now I’m in to leather, anything, everything with leather, and I’m all about rocking the studs,” she said, while wearing a playful pink leather alice + olivia frock with studded shoes. “And scarves! I love scarves.”

So, what other accessories does AnnaLynne always seem to sport? Her Somaly Mam Knotted Silk Necklace! “I wear them all the time,” she said. “I was just in Cambodia in March and I got these while I was there.” AnnaLynne, who wraps the necklace around her wrist and wears it as a bracelet, owns the item in a variety of different colors. “It’s a nice, fun summer piece you can rock with everything, but it also means something, so I think it’s really cool to wear something that has a story.” AnnaLynne, we couldn’t agree with you more!

The starlet, who spends her time working with a slew of foundations, including an anti-trafficking organization, says the best part of her stardom is being able to help others. She even encourages her peers to do the same! “My thing is just empowering, especially those lovely Twilighters to use their power for something good, because these kids in our generation wanna know that it’s cool and hip and trendy to give back,” she said, while gushing about the success her friends have found with the Twilight saga. “I think it’s really important that we use that power and we use it now, you can live your 20’s and have fun of course, but do something to make a statement and give back!”
