GUEST BIOGRAPHIES:
Camilla Luddington
Currently starring on ABC’s hit medical drama series Grey’s Anatomy, Camilla Luddington has the gift of portraying characters with both strength and vulnerability, and her Dr. Jo Wilson displays plenty of both as she finds her way through complicated storylines of love and career.
The sci-fi/fantasy world has come to love her too for her embodiment of Lara Croft, a different kind of heroine, in the video game Tomb Raider. When the game was released in 2013,
critics praised Luddington for giving the classic icon a much-needed reboot. In 2015, Camilla reprised her role as Lara in the video game Rise of the Tomb Raider, and continued her work as this character in the anticipated video game Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
