A bunch of pixels they may be – but, let’s face it, for some men, it’s the closest they’ll ever get to playing around with a real woman.

Now, we know what you are thinking – that’s a pretty messed-up list. How could a video game character be sexy? Why not focus on real women instead? And you would be totally right. In fact, we are hanging our heads in shame as we speak.
But wait! When have we ever cared what people thought of us? Besides, we are warming to the idea of a woman with big breasts who does whatever you tell her to do. Not really… so confused.

Of course, scientists confidently predict that due to the fact that the women in video games are becoming more and more realistic there is soon going to be a huge demand for another port. Now that’s messed-up.

Tests have also proved that Lara Croft – the video game character – has double Jessica Simpson’s IQ. Not that intelligence was really that high on the reasons we find Jessica Simpson attractive. Of course, we are just joking – about the new port thing at least. Anyway, sit back, enjoy and check out the pixels!

There really is something special about a girl with a guitar who can knock out a song you would actually not be ashamed to own on your iPod.

But, why? Is it because, unlike their Hollywood counterparts, they actually have some kind of talent? Or is it because, unlike their Hollywood counterparts, they remind you of the smart girl at school who suddenly became really hot in later years?

Or could it be because, unlike their Hollywood counterparts, they are the kind of girls you might possibly, possibly, possibly have a chance with? That is, of course, if record sales are down and you are the only straight guy who actually goes backstage to tell them how much you like their music.

Now, we know what you are thinking – and we agree. The concept of an ‘indie’ music genre has become so blurred nowadays it’s become almost obsolete. But we needed an easy tag to stick all these sexy girls under, and this one seemed the most appropriate.

It could equally be called ‘The 28 Sexiest Women Who Can Knock Out A Tune [Usually Involving A Guitar] That we Would Not Be Ashamed To Have On Our iPods‘, but we thought it might be too long.

Besides, to show the age of some of our writers, we have even included some artists who were even around at a time when ‘indie music’ actually meant something.

As always, not that you need any encouragement you miserable bastards, please tell us your suggestions.

1. Cat Power

It only makes sense. If you were creating a comic book story, wouldn’t you draw the hottest women you could think of? So, obviously, when it comes to turning these scribbles into real people for Movieland, you really have to find the cream. And, for the most part, the studios get it right.

So much so, that crunching them down into just 26 was one of the hardest tasks we have ever done. But it was worth every minute. Enjoy.

26. Maria Bello
Notable comic book movie appearance:  A History Of Violence (2005)

Some of you may or may not know that A History Of Violence is a comic book movie. Probably because it doesn’t involve anyone with in tights with superpowers. However, Maria Bello comes close to a superwoman.

25. Natalie Portman
Notable comic book appearance: V for Vendetta (2005)

Another pants film, but Natalie Portman is always worth watching. Terrible accent though.

24. Tanya Roberts
Notable comic book appearance: Sheena (1984)

Possibly the worst movie ever made, but Tanya Roberts does a topless bathing scene. Unfortunately, it has been taken down. If anyone can find it, please send it to us.

23. Maggie Gyllenhaal
Notable comic book appearance: The Dark Knight (2008)

We’d all like to give her a bit of a spanking.

22. Naomi Watts
Notable comic book movie appearance: Tank Girl (1995)

We all had to start somewhere. Definitely prefer her Ring though.

21. Adrienne Barbeau
Notable comic book movie appearance: Swamp Thing (1982)

Her jiggle was the movie’s most memorable special effect.

20. Leonor Varela
Notable comic book movie appearance: Blade 2

A bit of a favourite among the hecklerspray crew. Mind you, with a name that sounds like fabric conditioner it’s only natural she’d clean up.

19. Eva Mendes
Notable comic book movie appearance: Ghost Rider (2007)

Eva Mendes really needs a new agent. She stars in the worst films ever. Ghost Rider certainly falls into that category, but Eva certainly made it slightly watchable.

18. Liv Tyler
Notable comic book movie appearance: The Incredible Hulk (2008)

Is it wrong to prefer with pointy ears?

17. Kelly Hu
Notable comic book movie appearance: X-Men 2 (2000)

Kelly Hu kicked ass in X Men 2. Although you wouldn’t want her to rake her claws down your back.

16. Helen Slater
Notable comic book movie appearance: Supergirl (1984)

More girl next door than hot babe, but it’s always the quiet ones.

15. Kirsten Dunst
Notable comic book movie appearance: Spider-Man trilogy (2002-2007)

Not everyone’s cup of tea, but certainly sexy enough to deserve a place on here.

14. Jennifer Garner
Notable comic book appearances: Daredevil (2003) and Elektra (2005)

Again, both Daredevil and Elecktra were pants, but Jennifer Garner dressed up in that outfit helped ease the pain.

13. Halle Berry
Notable comic book appearances: X-Men trilogy (2000-2006) and Catwoman (2004)

Catwoman sucked big time, but her outfit almost made it worth watching. Almost…

12. Jennifer Connelly
Notable comic book appearance: Hulk (2003), Rocketeer (1991)

Maybe there is something wrong with us, but Hulk was so bad we kept hoping it would end like Requiem For A Dream. That would have woke a few people up.

=10. Malin Akerman and Carla Gugino
Notable comic book movie appearance: Watchmen (2009)


OK, we know this is cheating as the movie is not out yet, but, come on, just look at them. Problem is the office is divided over who is better, so we bottled it and slung them together.

9. Rebecca Romijn
Notable comic book appearances: X-Men trilogy (2000-2006)

She may not have looked at her best in X-Men – unless you are turned on by scaly, blue things – but there is no doubt behind the make-up Rebecca is a real class act.

8. Michelle Pfeiffer
Notable comic book movie appearance: Batman Returns (1992)

Batman Returns was a poor follow-up to Batman, but Michelle Pfeiffer certainly livened things up in that suit. OK, we avoided the obvious pussy jokes.

8. Jane Fonda
Notable comic book movie appearance: Barbarella (1968)

Some of you maybe scratching your heads right now, but Barbarella is indeed based on a comic book. A French one by Jean-Claude Forest to be exact. Of course, it is just another excuse to stick a picture of Jane
Fonda in loose-fitting clothing on our site.

7. Lena Headey
Notable comic book movie appearance: 300 (2006)

We would all would have liked to have gone Spartan on the sexy British actress.

6. Rosario Dawson
Notable comic book movie appearance: Sin City (2005)

Living in sin with Rosario Dawson? OK, where do we sign up?

5. Famke Janssen
Notable comic book appearances: X-Men trilogy (2000-2005)

We all would not mind being between Famke’s thighs – even if she is squeezing you to death. Oh, bollocks, wrong movies. Thing is, being turned into dust particles doesn’t work as well, does it?

4. Milla Jovovich
Notable comic book movie appearance: Ultraviolet (2006)

OK, the movie sucked, but Milla is always worth watching.

3. Emmanuelle Vaugier
Notable comic book movie appearance: Painkiller Jane

The Saw actress even outshines Kristanna Loken in the TV movie of Painkiller Jane. Not an easy task.

2. Jessica Biel
Notable comic book movie appearance: Blade: Trinity

It was difficult separating Jessica Biel and Jessica Alba for the top spot, but we’d love to give it a try.

1. Jessica Alba
Notable comic book movie appearances: Sin City, Fantastic Four

Take your pick which role you prefer out of the sexy stripper from Sin City or the angelic Susan Storm in the Fantastic Four, there is no doubt Jessica Alba is one of the hottest women in Hollywood right now.

In fact, just as long as you forget about the pathetic acting and dodgy dialogue – it was really rather good. Good, that is, as in we got to get a good look at some of the sexiest girls ever to appear on TV – in swimwear. Good, that is, as in we got to have a good look at their big bouncy breasts bobbing along the screen in fantastic slow motion. And good, as in we got to see all of it before the watershed.

Oh, and there and there was some blokes in it too. But we seriously can’t remember any of them – apart from The Hoff that is. But which Baywatch babe was the best? Who looked the hottest in the red swimsuit? Well Hecklerspray has decided to come up with our top eight.

Of course, it is just another pathetic excuse to prowl the internet looking for pictures of sexy girls. Life’s a beach. Enjoy.

8. Yasmine Bleeth

She is a pale shadow of her Baywatch days after falling into drug addiction, but it was some shadow.

7. Erika Eleniak

It’s not easy upstaging Steven Seagal – but she managed it in Under Seige. In fact, her eyebrows are actually bigger than his ponytail.

6. Donna D’Errico

The September 1995 Playboy Playmate of the Month was always worth tuning in for.

5. Traci Bingham

There are two very good reasons she belongs in the top five. See if you can guess what they are.

4. Nicole Eggert

Nicole would have been higher but for the crimes of having a breast reduction and getting engaged to Corey Haim. We are not sure which is more ridiculous.

3. Gena Lee Nolin

For a more convincing acting performance you should check out her sex tape.

2. Carmen Electra

Only just beaten to the top slot by Pammy. It’s tough making these decisions.

1. Pamela Anderson

Forget what you know about her now, just remember the first time you clapped eyes on her. Happy days.

But compiling a list of the sexiest ever was never going to be easy. With all its different incarnations and the sheer volume of life-forms Captain Kirk alone has sullied, it’s certainly a tough job. But Hecklerspray has never been one to shirk a challenge and is prepared to risk the wrath of Trekkies across the world by compiling a list of lovelies that are the envy of the galaxy.

And we are pretty happy with the results. Put it this way, we’d certainly love to get our hands on their tricorders. However, we are sure you will have your own suggestions. As always, please let us know of any glaring omissions – not that you need any encouragement, you pedantic, miserable bastards.

And before you ask, we have not included the upcoming Star Trek film, which is due to be released next year. So the names Zoe Saldana and Jennifer Morrison have not been added to the list this time, but would certainly come into contention next time if we decided to do this list again.

Anyway, set your phasers to stun and enjoy.

26. Tasha Yar (Denise Michelle Crosby)
Next Generation

A personal favourite, but, sadly, the frankly blokeish haircut bumped our dear Tasha down the list.

25. Marta (Yvonne Craig)
Original series

Batgirl as a green-skinned slave girl – what’s not to like?

24. Dr Helen Noel (Marianna Hill)
Original Series

Love her bedside manner.

23. Droxine (Diana Ewing)
Original Series

One of the most elegant actresses to pass through the series.

22. Nona (Nancy Kovack)
Original Series

Played a Kanutu medicine woman in A Private Little War, but is possible more famous for her role as Medea in Jason And The Argonauts.

21. Lt. Saavik (Kirstie Alley)
Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan

Yeah, we know, but there is little doubt she was a fine-looking woman in her early years.

20. Tonia Barrows (Emily Banks)
Original series

Received the benefit of Doctor McCoy’s bedside manner.

19. Nyota Uhura (Nichelle Nichols)
Original series

No Star Trek list would be complete without her. A true legend.

18. Kelinda (Barbara Bouchet)
Original Series

Played Kelinda in the original series, but is possibly more famous for playing Miss Moneypenny in the 60s spoof version of Casino Royale.

17. Kara (Marj Dusay)
Original series

Watch out for this temptress, a glorified zombie itching to steal your brain!

16. Ensign Ro Laren (Michelle Forbes)
Next Generation

A rebel, unliked by many, and ultimately a traitor. Shame on you Ensign Ro, but how can we say no?

15. B’elanna Torres (Roxann Dawson)
Voyager

Klingon ridges and her temper work against B’elanna, although we bet she’s feisty in the bedroom.

14. Beverly Crusher (Gates Macfadden)
Next Generation

A redhead and MILF to boot. What more could you ask for?

13. Ishara Yar (Beth Toussaint)
Next Generation

Tasha’s sister has the body of a champion whippet

12. Yeoman Janice Rand (Grace Lee Whitney)
Original Series

As Kirk says, she was “too beautiful to ignore” and “too much woman”. We certainly agree Kirk.

11. Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis)
Next Generation

England’s very own Marina Sirtisis loved by fans for her voluptuous figure, skin tight bunny suit and the fact she’d sleep with anyone or anything.

10. Anij (Donna Murphy)
Star Trek: Insurrection

A looker for her age (over 300 years old). If Picard didn’t have his eyes already set on Anij, you know you’d want a piece of that action.

9. Ezri Dax (Nicole de Boer)
Deep Space Nine

Essentially, Jadzia Dax version 2, which can’t be all bad.

8. Android Andrea (Sherry Jackson)
Original series

Kissing Kirk was not part of her programming. What can we say, programmes are there to be hacked. Better still that costume doesn’t leave much to the imagination.

7. Ensign Robin Lefler (Ashley Judd)
Next Generation

Ensign Lefler lives by her own rules, Sadly, one of them being #22: Never date a co-worker. Too bad Wesley (Crusher)

6. Kes (Jennifer Lien)
Voyager

Youthful and Innocent, just about the cutest elf you’ll find this side of the Delta Quadrant

5. Hoshi Sato (Linda Park)
Enterprise

Sultry and smart, knowing over 40 languages is a good workout for the mouth if you catch our drift.

4. Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell)
Deep Space Nine

A very hot woman who attracted the attentions of Bashir and ultimately Worf. Slight turn-off: her multiple personalities, call it what you will.

3. Kamala (Famke Janssen)
Star Trek: Next Generation

Simply stunning and a real favourite at Hecklerspray Towers.

2. T’Pol (Jolene Blalock)
Enterprise

A Trellium-D addict, which is great for lowering her inhibitions.

1. Seven of 9 (Jeri Ryan)
Voyager

Seven of 9? More like 10 out of 10.

Honorable mentions:
Lieutenant Valeris (Kim Cattrall)
Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor)

[story by Michael Chenucha]

It’s not exactly the first thing you look for in a potential girlfriend, is it? You don’t spend a lot of your first dates comparing biceps and arm-wrestling, do you? Do you?! But in Movieland, that’s a different story. We just can’t get enough of them. And if she looks hot while she’s doing it, even better.

Well, Hecklerspray has come up yet another list of sexy movie babes for you to delight over. Now, selecting a list of all the hot women who ever appeared in action movies was always going to be tough call. There are so many action films, and picking some girl who was basically the love interest throughout the entire film and whose sole role was to scream a lot would not be right.

So we tried to restrict them down to ones who are the leading characters and were also hard as nails.
Not so much femme fatales, but lethal ladies. We ask two questions: Are they hard? Do they make you hard? That’s the only criteria. Oh, and are they strong female role models? Or something like that.

The other problem is: how do you define an action movie? Arguably any movie involves some kind of movement. Unless it’s a Gus Van Sant film, that is. Well, we have tried to restrict it to movies which at least needed some kind of rigorous training schedule and martial arts work to prepare for the role. Not the greatest criteria, admittedly, which probably explains why there are lot of selections on this list which could easily settle into other genres.

Anyway, enjoy!

26. Charlize Theron
Notable action movie appearance: Aeon Flux (2005)

Terrible film, but Theron looked amazing.

25. Linda Hamilton
Notable action movie appearances: Terminator series (1984-1991)

OK, she looks like she has a small dog on top of her head, but she is certainly one bad-ass mother (of the saviour of mankind).

24. Liv Tyler
Notable action movie apperance: Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-2003)

All right, we admit her portrayal of Elvish princess Arwen is not exactly action-packed. In fact, she spends most of it flouncing around in a long dress looking all sincere. But there is no doubt she looks really cute in pointy ears.

23. Natasha Henstridge
Notable action movie appearance: Species (1995), Species 2 (1998)

She plays a really hot alien desperate to mate with any human man as soon as possible. What’s not to like?
Not exactly girlfriend material though. She has a bit of a jealous streak and is prone to ripping people’s spines out as soon as she’s done.

22. Rhona Mitra
Notable action movie appearances: Underworld 3 (2009), Doomsday (2008)

Just the women to step into Kate Beckinsale’s leathers. Simply stunning.

21. Kristanna Loken
Notable action movie appearance: Terminator 3 (2003)

OK, the movie sucked really bad, but the sight of Loken in red leather was worth the admission alone.

20. Jennifer Garner
Notable action movie appearance: Daredevil (2003), Elektra (2005)

Once again, both films sucked, but Jennifer Garner is always worth looking at.

Joint 19. Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore
Notable action movie appearances: Charlie’s Angels I and II (2001-2003)

Now that’s a threesome I think we’d all appreciate. One for everyone’s tastes.

18. Megan Fox
Notable action movie appearance: Transformers (2007)

OK, we admit it, she’s not exactly an all-action heroine in the movie Transformers, but we could not resist sticking her in.

17. Gina Gershon
Notable movie appearance: Bound (1996)

Apparently, Gina boxed Bob Dylan to prepare for her role as Corky, a tough, lesbian ex-con. Not sure old Bob put up much of a fight, but it certainly got her in shape.

16. Leonor Varela
Notable action movie appearance: Blade 2 (2002)

What is it about women who wants to suck you dry?

Joint 15: Jordana Brewster, Sara Foster, Devon Aoki, Jill Ritchie and Meagan Good
Notable action movie appearance: D.E.B.S (2004)

We couldn’t decide which one to put in, so opted for all of them. If you have never seen D.E.B.S it’s about a group of scantily-clad schoolgirls who are trained to be bloodthirsty, gun-toting assassins. Genius.

14. Meiko Kaji
Notable action movie appearances: Lady Snowblood (1973) and loads more

A lady not to be messed with – and hard as nails too. Her films, such as the brilliant Lady Snowblood, inspired Kill Bill.

13. Ziyi Zhang
Notable action movie appearance: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), Hero (2002)

Well, she certainly knows how to handle a weapon.

12. Anne Parillaud
Notable action movie appearance: Nikita (1990)

Incredibly sexy French actress is given a license to thrill in Nikita.

11. Rose McGowan
Notable action movie appearance: Planet Terror (2008)

Sexiest thing on, errrr, one leg.

10. Michelle Yeoh
Notable action movie appearance: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)

A Bond girl who could actually handle herself – perfect.

9. Carrie Fisher
Notable action movie appearance: Star Wars trilogy (1977-1983)

Gold bikini – need we say any more.

8. Michelle Rodriguez
Notable action movie appearance: S.W.A.T (2003), Resident Evil (2002)

Killing her off in Lost just about killed off our interest in the show.

7. Jessica Alba
Notable action movie appearance: Fantastic Four I and II

Made her name in Dark Angel and has to be one of the sexiest women alive today.

6. Carrie-Anne Moss
Notable action movie appearances: The Matrix trilogy (1999-2003)

Named her after The Hollies‘ 1967 hit song, she certainly hits all the right notes. OK, we know that was terrible.

5. Sigourney Weaver
Notable action movie appearances: Alien series (1979-1997)

Not to everyone’s tastes, but no list about bad-ass action babes would be complete without Ripley.

4. Milla Jovovich
Notable action movie appearances: The Fifth Element, Resident Evil I (2002) and II (2007)

Everyone loves Milla time.

3. Kate Beckinsale
Notable action movie appearances: Underworld I and II (2003-2006)

Kate Beckinsale in a tight leather body suit, need we say any more?

2. Uma Thurman
Notable action movie appearance: Kill Bill (2003-2004)

Is it just us or does she get better and better with age?

1. Angelina Jolie
Notable action movie appearances: Lara Croft I and II (2001-2003), Wanted (2008)

Anyone who disagrees with our choice of number one should take a look ather in the grey swim suit. That’s all that needs to be said.

OK, so put like that, it sounds a bit odd. But there’s little doubt that vampires can be very sexy.

Admittedly, Dracula never did anything for us. But whether it’s Kate Beckinsale in a tight leather bodysuit or Salma Hayek dancing with a snake, these damsels of the dark are worth getting into a flap about…

13. Sadie Frost as Lucy
Film: Bram Stoker’s Dracula

Yeah, we can’t stand her either, but obviously there is something about bloodsucking which really agrees with her.

12. Anne Parillaud as Marie
Film: Innocent Blood

French beauty Parillaud is so good you almost forget how bad the film is. Don’t believe us? It’s basically The Lost Boys meets The Sopranos. Now are you convinced?

11. Angie Everhart as Lilith
Film: Bordello of Blood

Angie gives a stand out performance as a vampire hooker.

10. Soledad Miranda as Countess Nadine Carody
Film: Vampyros Lesbos

Vampires. Lesbians. Need we say anymore?

9. Catherine Deneuve as Miriam Blaylock
Film: The Hunger

Catherine Deneuve indulges in a bit of lesbian vampire action, unfortunately with old vinegar tits Susan Sarandon.

8. Aaliyah as Queen Akasha
Film: Queen of the Damned

OK, the film sucked shit through a straw, but Aaliyah looks amazing in her final appearance before her untimely death.

7. Jeri Ryan as Valerie Sharpe
Film: Dracula 2000

She’s more famous being in Star Trek, but she looks pretty good as a vampire too. Excuse the foreign language clip, but you get the point.

6. Leonor Varela as Nyssa
Film: Blade II

Forget the fact she can’t act for toffee and shares her name with a fabric conditioner, Varela makes a fang-statistic vampire in Blade II.

5. Monica Bellucci as one of Dracula’s brides
Film: Bram Stoker’s Dracula

Look, it could have been any of the three, but we would settle for Monica Bellucci. Excuse the long intro to this clip, but it’s worth it.

4. Olga Kurylenko as The Vampire
Film: Paris, je t’aime

The new Bond girl makes quite an impression as a blood-sucking vamp in this 2006 French film. Above is the trailer, blink and you’ll miss her.

3. Ingrid Pitt as Elisabeth Nodosheen
Film: Countess Dracula

Hammer horror’s finest. No vampire list would be the same without her.

2. Kate Beckinsale as Selene
Film: Underworld

We’re not huge fans of Kate Beckinsale or Underworld, but there is something about her role as Selene which stands out.

1. Salma Hayek as Santanico Pandemonium
Film: From Dusk Till Dawn

One of those movie moments that stick in your head.

Honorable mentions:
Sharon Tate as Sarah in the Fearless Vampire Killers
Jami Gertz as Star in The Lost Boys
Traci Lords as Racquel in Blade
Jenny Wright from Near Dark
Amanda Donahoe as Lady Sylvia-Marsh in The Lair of the White Worm

Nothing quite gets you through the dull talk about black holes and plasma shields than the sight of a sexy girl in a spacesuit.

Well, grab hold of your lightsabres because hecklerspray has combed the length and breadth of the galaxy to come up with the hottest girls ever to appear in a sci-fi movie or TV programme.

13. Dana Scully from X Files

The list would not be the same without her.

12. Charlize Theron – Aeon Flux in Aeon Flux

Ok, the film was a huge, steaming pile of turd, but she looked really hot.

11. Jessica Alba – Max Guevera in Dark Angel

Does Dark Angel count as sci-fi? Who cares! It’s Jessica Alba for God’s sake.

10. Natalie Portman – Queen Amidala in the Star Wars prequels

She is the only reason to see the Star Wars prequels.

9. Milla Jovovich – Leeloo in The Fifth Element

We’re not sure if it’s the orange dreadlocks, the dodgy accent or the incredible body, but we certainly enjoyed MIlla time.

8. Jeri Ryan – Seven Of Nine from Star Trek Voyager

There is a part of us that finds this a bit odd. She is half human and half cybernetic drone for crying out loud. But there’s something about a skin-tight grey jumpsuit and a metal eyebrow that really hits the mark. Seven of Nine? More like nine of out 10.

7. Ashley Judd – Robin Lefler in Star Trek Generation

Definitely the sexiest girl ever to appear on the Star Trek: Next Generation. Actually, that’s not that hard. Maybe we need a rethink.

6. Erin Gray – Wilma from Buck Rogers

Possibly a controversial choice, but we do not care. Put it this way, why else would you put up with that stupid, twatting robot? It’s like Lost now. We’ve almost come to hate the fact we’re still watching that heap of dung. But then we see Kate and everything seems okay again.

5. Grace Park from Battlestar Galactica

The second sexiest toaster in Battlestar Galactica.

4. Sigourney Weaver – Ripley in the Alien series

Now there is no doubt that Sigourney Weaver started to look a bit ropey by the end of the Alien franchise – just like the films! But there is something about a girl who can kick the shit out of bad ass, stomach-bursting aliens that really gets the old juices flowing. And let’s face it, you still would.

3. Number Six from Battlestar Galatica

Has a toaster ever looked that sexy?

2. Jane Fonda in Barbarella

It hardly counts as science fiction – more like one big sexual innuendo (maybe it should be called Carry on Up The Black Hole) – but the opening sequence alone makes her a must on this list.

1. Carrie Fisher – Princess Leia in Star Wars trilogy

For anyone who wants to argue, we have two words for you: gold bikini. This writer will never forget the day I went to see Return of the Jedi. I was a fresh-faced nine-year-old boy, but by the time I left, I was a man. Life was never quite the same after that.

Honourable mentions:
Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica
Carrie-Anne Moss in The Matrix trilogy
Morena Baccarin in Firefly
Monica Bellucci in The Matrix Revolutions
