Even though she is not an actress, she has a star role in a recently released Louis Leterrier movie inspired by a 1981 movie with the same name and starring Sam Worthington, clash of the titans. Indeed, her modeling talents are in fact more needed for her role than her acting talents, because her character, which is the female monster Medusa, is brought to life by 3D graphists, her body being shaped like a snake. Therefore, only Vodianova's face is needed.
Medusa is a female monster also known in Greek mythology as one of the three gorgon sisters, alongside Stheno and Euryale who are immortal contrarily to their sister. Medusa cannot be looked at; whoever takes even the quickest look at her is instantly turned into a rigid statue.
However, Medusa's mortality gives to Perseus, main character of the movie, the possibility to kill her, armed with a mirrored shield to prevent him from looking her directly. Perseus defeats the gorgon by ripping off her head which he later uses as a weapon to permanently freeze his own opponents, including the famous Kraken.
Below is a sequence of the 2010 remake showing Perseus and his crew facing Medusa. If you haven't seen the movie yet and hate spoilers, don't watch it. Otherwise, enjoy.
