Our Effie, Elizabeth Banks, is on the (double) cover of the September 2013 issue of Women's Health Magazine.
Elizabeth Banks swears a lot. OK, maybe not a lot compared with, say, Chris Rock. But she definitely lets F-bombs fly more than most actresses would during an interview at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont. This is not a complaint, by the way. In fact, her potty mouth is pretty awesome. Equally refreshing? How frank Elizabeth is. She'll tell you exactly what she thinks unless she doesn't want to discuss something. If that's the case, she lets you know straight up instead of offering a canned answer.
Then there's her amazing sense of humor—no surprise, considering she's held her own alongside hilarious costars in everything from 30 Rock and Modern Family to the cult indie comedy Wet Hot American Summer.
Her schedule, however, is no joke. The 39-year-old is the mother of two boys (both under 3), runs a production company with her husband, Max Handelman, and in November will once again play Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. She shows up to lunch fresh from one meeting and afterward heads to another to pitch TV execs a show.
