#12. Famke Janssen, 40
We've been a little bit too jingo on this list. With the exception of
J.K. Rowling and
Natasha Richardson, all of our entries have been fromt his side of the pond. Well, it's time to bring a little international flavor to the countdown and we are pleased to announce that five of the remaining twelve (including this one) on the countdown will be from overseas.
From Bond girl to superhero to victimized wife of Michael Douglas, this woman has done it all. And she's looked good doing all of it. She wears size 11 shoes and you know what they say about women who wear big shoes...Hey, what do they say? Well, it doesn't really matter. Fans fall head over feet for this woman and at least one fan we know of (::cough, cough, ahem::) felt pangs of despair when Jean Grey "died" at the end of X2. But she's back for X3, so all is right with the world again. Also, she plays a life counselor on Nip/Tuck. Now, if she were our life counselor, we would probably hate ourselves forever.
