KOOL TV BABE OF THE WEEK: 'HUSTLE's KELLY ADAMS

In the business of deception, Kelly Adams of HUSTLE certainly has our attention. Image: BBC/KUDOS/GRESHAMBLAKE.COM

In the real life world of modern London, distraction crimes by thieves and con artists are sadly on the rise: a fact which is both annoying and frightening for the victims who suffer it on a daily basis. However, if I was ever to be distracted by anyone within the make believe, alternate fantasy world of London, as seen in the hit BBC/KUDOS series HUSTLE, please let it be by the lovely English actress Kelly Adams, who, as stilettoed vixen and razor sharp con artist/femme fatale Emma Kennedy, knows how to help her teammates (including younger brother and fellow grifter, Sean (Matt Di Angelo)) hit their creative mark and make sure that their mission to rob from the best (well worst) of society comes to successful fruition! Along the way, she's also been a mistress of disguise, appearing as anybody from a cleaning lady or leggy secretary to Aussie megastar Kylie Minogue, whom she did an uncanny impersonation of-and looked stunning, too!- during the opening episode of Season Six a couple of years back.

Almost pixie-like in size, with a cute sense of mischief on screen, and most definitely one of the boys on numerous occasions, the lovely Miss Adams, who previously appeared in the long-running BBC hospital soap HOLBY CITY and recent films like the Tom Hardy starring BRONSON, has much in common with her HUSTLE counter-part in the likes of intelligence and charm, too. With her model looks, if she'd been acting in the sixties she'd have made a great AVENGERS girl, or a fine DOCTOR WHO companion now. And, as HUSTLE comes to its end this season, the actress is about to depart England to make way for sunnier climes and a career launch in the US (the right time for her to do it, too, what with the current success of HUSTLE on the BBC AMERICA channel).

Having stolen British men's hearts, KOOL TV wishes Miss Adams success for the future, and looks forward to seeing her in equally popular series to rival or improve on HUSTLE.


Previous seasons of HUSTLE are available on DVD. The final season continues its run on the UK's BBC 1 HD channel.
