NO. 10 Kate Beckinsale


Though her days as just another struggling actress are long behind her,
Kate Beckinsale’s drop-dead gorgeous looks have generally prevented her from being taken seriously as an actress -- something that certainly changed in 2008.
Her heartbreaking work in the critically acclaimed drama Snow Angels earned her some of the best reviews of her career,
while the political thriller Nothing But the Truth placed Kate Beckinsale firmly at the forefront of well-deserved Oscar-nomination rumors.
It’s an impressive turnaround for an actress previously best known for her work within the action genre,
thanks to her roles in such popcorn-friendly endeavors as 2003’s Underworld and 2004’s Van Helsing.
