Photographer Pamela Hanson [IG] has the honor of photographing actor Anya Taylor-Joy and Bartok the Magnificent, her long-haired chihuahua puppy for the September 2024 ELLE Australia [IG] cover story.

The two lovelies were photographed in Los Angeles, where Taylor-Joy is enjoying a bit of downtime.

Bartok has been with the Hollywood megastar for two days in the expanding family that Taylor Joy is creating with her husband, musician Malcolm McRae. The couple also enjoys a cat, a ragdoll called Kitsune and were seeking a larger dog.

The Dior fashion and beauty ambassador is styled by ELLE fashion director Naomi Smith with hair by Gregory Russell and makeup by Georgie Eisdell.

Grace O’Neill takes charge of the interview, and we don’t hear how Bartok and Kitsune got along in their first two days together. The rest of the details are well-known to AOC readers, but O’Neill gives an excellent recap of the star’s biography.

When Taylor-Joy starred as Beth Harmon, the chess virtuoso who catapulted Taylor-Joy into the stratosphere of fame in ‘The Queen’s Gambit’, 62 million households watched the series in the first month of its 2020 release on Netflix.

The thriller placed in the top 10 in 92 countries on Netflix, ranking No. 1 in 63 countries.

Today the actor, known for roles in ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Story’, ‘The Menu’ and ‘Last Night in Soho’ will take the lead role in ‘How to Kill Your Family’.

Playing revenge-seeking Grace Bernard in an adaptation of Bella Mackie’s novel brings Anja Taylor-Joy back into the Netflix fold.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the eight-episode series will be produced by Sid Gentle Films Ltd, which was acquired by the BBC Studios in 2022. The BBC’s commercial production-distribution arm had owned 51% of Sid Gentle Films, best known for producing ‘Killing Eve’, since 2018.

All four seasons of ‘Killing Eve’s’ 32 episodes came to Netflix US in April.

Writer Emma Moran takes the lead on ‘How to Kill Your Family’.

Per the Netflix streamer, "Grace is the forgotten child of Simon Artemis, a merciless millionaire. After a heartbreaking rejection, Grace decides to exact revenge. But will this deadly scheme take even more from Grace than she’s already lost?"

Grace does kill family members one by one. But then she is imprisoned for a murder she did not commit.
