First, identify the celebrities.

 

They are:

 

Al Pacino

Angelina Jolie

Anne Hathaway

Cameron Diaz

Catherine Zeta-Jones

Colin Farrell

George Clooney

Gwen Stefani

Gwyneth Paltrow

Usher

Uma Thurman

 

The first names of all the celebrities are A,C,G,and U. Each celebrities corresponds to the nucleotide given by the first letter of their name: Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, or Uracil.

 

 

Each vertex is the intersection of three hexagons (for vertices on the edge of the grid, they intersect the hexagon on the opposite side, as if the 10x10 grid of hexagons was tessellated).

 

The arrow on each vertex gives the ordering of the three nucleotides to form a codon representing an amino acid. Each amino acid has a standard 1 letter abbreviation (not necessarily its first letter).

 

With the DNA helix overlayed on the grid right side up, the codons/amino acids corresponding to the vertices marked on the DNA helix are as follows:

 

UCG S

CCA P

AUC I

AAU N

ACA T

CAU H

GAA E

ACG T

CGC R

GCC A

AAC N

AGU S

CCU P

GCU A

CGA R

GAA E

AAC N

UGC C

UAU Y

 

 

 

The amino acid abbreviations spell "SPINTHETRANSPARENCY", so you need to turn the transparency 180 degrees and repeat:

 

 

GCU A

AAC N

GGC G

AUC I

GAA E

UCA S

UGU C

CAU H

GCC A

CGA R

GCG A

UGC C

ACA T

GAA E

CGA R

AAU N

GCU A

AUG M

GAA E

 

Now the amino acid abbreviations spell "ANGIESCHARACTERNAME". In the picture on the grid, Angelina Jolie is playing the character of Lara Croft.
