Why do I choose her? Well let me start by saying she is over looked, even more so now a days, she was the it girl of the 90's and the early 2000's and with a Golden Globe nominee under her belt I know she has way more to offer, She showed she can be touching, loving and heart breaking through her second person, Buffy Summers and she and she alone is the only woman in history that can ever play that character. She took over the female sterotypes and made it into new rules and I honestly respect so much about this woman. She's smart beautiful and normal, she hasn't let fame get to her head. She needs to be in more because I'm waiting for the day we can call her an academy award winning actress!
2. Jodie Foster
Actress | The Silence of the Lambs
Jodie Foster started her career at the age of two. For four years she made commercials and finally gave her debut as an actress in the TV series Mayberry R.F.D. (1968). In 1975 Jodie was offered the role of prostitute Iris Steensma in the movie Taxi Driver (1976). This role, for which she received ...
Jodie is so good at what she does, She became the absolute it girl when she one her second Oscar for The Silence of the Lambs but that's not what I liked most about her career, I loved the roles that were less popular, Flight Plan, Panic Room, Inside Man. I also love her persona and how she could kick you're ass and you're a 150lbs man. She is a wonder actress and it will not be the same when Foster isn't in films.

Everyone knows the first thing that comes to every straight, gay, bi, lesbian persons mind when they think of this woman, damn she is stunning, she is, but so is her acting, she can act! She can scream and she can also disappear for ever and turn up all the sudden on TV. But True Lies, Halloween, House Arrest, A Fish Called Wonda, Freaky Friday (Remake) and more, that's what I call diversity.
4. Halle Berry

Berry is so lovely and she's nice even when she wins a Razzie award! I mean it takes serious strength to do that! But She is amazing and I feel that it's harder for her due to color but it's fine because she gets paid more than a lot of famous white actress.

Does anyone else agree that she creeps you out!?! But now that I'm almost 18 I love everything I've seen her in and I can understand it and I mean damn, she is truly--- Eyes Wide Shut, Cold Mountain, The Others, Stoker, The Paperboy, The Hours. She is truly brilliant.

She gets nude a lot more than I would ever think a A-listed actress would but I think that's because she was only dude when she wasn't really an A lister yet, Raindeer games she wasn't famous hardly.
