Natalie Portman
Ironically for someone who seems so American (and CindyLover doesn't mean that in a bad way), Natalie was born in Israel and first came to the world's attention in a French movie (okay, it was set in America and shot in English, but it's still French). She's come a long way since Leon/The Professional (depending on where you see it), and she's on the verge of worship forever... or she would be if the new Star Wars movies weren't regarded as so inferior to the old ones. Luckily, unlike Hayden Christensen or Jake Lloyd, Natalie already has quite a career behind her already; when you make Beautiful Girls and prove to be the most alluring woman in the cast (no mean feat when you're in the same movie as Uma Thurman and Mira Sorvino, but rather easier alongside Rosie O'Donnell), and when you have men who've fancied you ever since Leon, you've made an impact. (Leon? Thank heaven we can get away from that and on to healthier topics like her midriff-baring for Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones. Who would have thought she had it in her...?)
Recommended viewing: Well, not Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace for a start. Or Mars Attacks!. On the other hand, try Heat, Everyone Says I Love You, Zoolander (see also Heidi Klum), Where The Heart Is, Anywhere But Here*,Cold Mountain and the forthcoming Star Wars Episode III.

*The script originally called for Natalie's character to go topless at one point, but she declined to do so. (Enter paparazzi.) Making her subsequent filming of Where The Heart Is alongside frequent flesh-barer Ashley Judd all the more ironic.
Natalie is anywhere. Including here...
