Date Or Dump These Hollywood Starlets And We'll Tell You Who'd Say Yes To You.
Emma Stone
She’s America’s Sweetheart. You know it. I know it. Emma Stone has a girl-next-door down-to-earth quality that most of the idol-esque starlets lack. She seems attainable and accessible despite the fact that she, of course, isn’t. But hey, if she’s willing to go out with Andrew Garfield, anybody has a chance, right?
Amber Heard
She’s going to be Mera in Aquaman. I don’t know if she has the character’s imposing temperament, but a boy can dream. Either way, Heard is the perfect example of the Blonde Bombshell. Heard made her debut in Friday Night Lights—the decent movie, not the excellent show. She was also the lead in All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, so if you’re in the mood for a great horror movie…watch something else.
Scarlett Johansson
Remember when she played Silken Floss in “The Spirit”? Oof. That was a rough one. It was probably her worst role. Her best, however, was playing Barbara in largely forgotten film Don Jon. Her accent, her mannerisms, her attitude was the perfect distillation of Staten Island. It may not mean much to those outside of New York, but holy crap did she hit it out of the park.
Letitia Wright
Letitia Wright has been acting for seven years now but has only become prominent in the last year or two thanks to her roles in Black Mirror and Black Panther. But go take a look at anything in her filmography and tell me that her smile shouldn’t be bottled and sold.
Alexandra Daddario
Now, if you can forgive her roles in Logan Paul’s Summer Saga and Texas Chainsaw 3D, you’ll notice Alexandra Daddario’s unmatched blue eyes and, well, everything else about her. But it turns out she can actually act too. No, we’re not talking about Baywatch. She had a small role in True Detective season 1. Sure, she played something of a love interest, but the role gave her the opportunity to show range. Do more roles like that.
Gal Gadot
I have to admit, as beautiful as she is, I didn’t see Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. Turns out, however, she can act after all. Thank god. Gadot has translated both Diana Prince’s elegance and her strength. Her beauty is important, of course, but compassion was key and she had that by the truckload.
Eva Green
Given her darkly lit and equally dark characters, Eva Green has been called “goth” quite a bit. As someone who loves noir, however, I would love to see her play some roles in the genre. Between the smoky voice, conspiratorial smile and dangerous eyes, she is the modern noir moll that we didn’t know we needed.
Naomi Scott
Let’s come right out and admit something: 2017’s Power Rangers was a good movie. Sure there was some gritty Christopher Nolan-ing going on, but it doesn’t undermine the characters or the franchise the way Nolan and Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel did. Just sayin’. Naomi Scott played Kimberly Hart in Power Rangers with an edge and energy that was modern but didn’t feel forced. Also, she’s hot.
Tessa Thompson
Not to sound like a hipster, but I was telling people how hot Tessa Thompson was before she became famous. Back when she was starting out on Veronica Mars and prime-time soaps like Hidden Palms. Everyone knows her now from Creed (best movie of 2015) and Thor 3 (worth it only for the Jack Kirby designs), but I knew (of) her way back when.
Margot Robbie
Do you think Jaime Pressly is mad about Margot Robbie’s meteoric rise? They’re practically twins. Maybe Pressly is just jealous Robbie didn’t have to star in Poison Ivy: The New Seduction. Not to harp on the accent thing, but Robbie perfectly captured the New York Italian thing in Wolf of Wall Street. Also, she’s naked it in, which is nice.
Alicia Vikander
Whether you want to admit it or not, Alicia Vikander made you feel really uncomfortable feelings for a robot from her role in Ex Machina. Despite only making her debut in 2010, she has already achieved great success, having won an Oscar for The Danish Girl. In 2018, she’s playing Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider reboot.
Gina Rodriguez
You know Gina Rodriguez from the salaciously titled Jane the Virgin series on the CW. But don’t like the network fool you—it’s a great show. It embraces and parodies the tropes found in Latin telenovelas, but can stand on its own even without the gimmick. Rodriguez has received critical acclaim for her role as Jane, and her career is just beginning.
Vanessa Hudgens
Disney really knows how to pick the best-looking people in the world. How did Zac Efron screw that up? Did he cheat? Was it the rehab stuff? Good god, what an idiot. Anyway, you have to give Hudgens a lot of credit. There aren’t many child actors out there—especially from the Disney Channel—to not only still have a career after leaving the Mouse but to not be a total train wreck in adulthood.
Chloe Bennet
Okay, so she has poor taste in men. For god’s sake, Logan Paul is about as articulate as an avocado and looks like a dolphin. But I digress. Bennet has impressed on Agents of SHIELD (even if the writing on the show doesn’t) since day one. What you might not know is that Bennet is an accomplished singer who has been performing since childhood.
Jennifer Lawrence
You can’t trip over a movie these days without Jennifer Lawrence is in it. She won an Academy Award for Silver Linings Playbook and had been nominated three other times. This is all before turning thirty. America fell in love with her awkwardness and levelheaded charm. This love affair has even survived movies like Mother and Red Sparrow.
Zazie Beetz
She’s going to be playing Domino in Deadpool 2, but who cares about that. People with taste know her as Van on Atlanta. Like her character, Beetz has a familiar, regular-person appeal. She has movie star good looks, but she doesn’t come off as someone who puts on airs. This is brought home in her role as Vanessa, where she struggles socially and professional as she tries to find out what she’s supposed to do with her life.
Jessica Lucas
Jessica Lucas is on the rise. She played a prominent role in both Cloverfield (ugh) and the remake of Evil Dead (yay). She is now a major character on Gotham, playing the under appreciated villain Tigress. Lucas plays it was vicious, steely aplomb, and has definitely been a bright spot in the series.
Odette Annable
Odette Annable is another child actor who managed to become a well-adjusted success. That in itself is like winning the lottery, but she’s also an incredibly talented ass-kicker. We don’t even mean as Reign on Supergirl; we’re talking about her role as Nola Longshadow on Banshee. Her character was cold and utilitarian and was part of one of the finest TV fight scenes in the medium’s history.
Shailene Woodley
Hey, wasn’t she supposed to be Mary-Jane Watson for a minute there? Well, given the way Amazing Spider-Man 2 turned out, it’s for the best she wasn’t in the movie anyway. Woodley has become one of the most celebrated young actresses out there today, receiving much praise and fan worship for the Divergent film series, The Fault in Our Stars, and most recently in the award-winning Big Little Lies miniseries.
Jessica Brown Findlay
Apparently, Jessica Findlay was a major character on Downton Abbey. I’ve never seen the show, but my mother likes it. Then again, everyone’s mom likes it. To fans of Black Mirror, however, Findlay will always be Abi Khan from the “Fifteen Million Merits” episode. We won’t soon forget Findlay’s haunting rendition of Irma Thomas’ “Anyone Who Knows What Love Is” nor her character’s heartbreaking resolution.
Lupita Nyong-o
Look at her. One of the most beautiful women in the world—and awarded as THE MOST beautiful by People magazine—with talent and popularity. You cast her in Star Wars. Great! Hard work pays off! But then it turns out she’s going to motion capture as a minor character who looks like rotten fruit. Come on! Well, at least her role in Black Panther made up for it.
Emilia Clarke
Emilia Clark needs no introduction. Not only because of her instantly identifiable role as Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones but because we don’t have enough space to name all of her titles. We like Emilia Clarke a lot. She’s a great talent, especially for someone so young. We like her so much we won’t even mention how awful Terminator Genisys was.
Rachel McAdams
Rachel McAdams will not only take on any role in any genre, but she’ll do it well. As lousy as the second season of True Detective was, McAdams certainly did great work as Ani. She’s done the romance stuff with The Notebook, comedies with Game Night and Mean Girls and dramas with State of Play and the award-winning film Spotlight.
Anna Diop
24: Legacy has a bad reputation for reasons I don’t understand. Sure, it had some of the old 24 tropes, but told a better story and had a refreshing new cast. Anna Diop’s put-upon nurse Nicole Carter was one of them. Her performance was a season-long standout. Now she’s going to be playing Starfire on the Teen Titans series, and I’m pleased as punch.
Zoë Kravitz
I had a gigantic crush on Lisa Bonet as a kid. I don’t know if that makes it normal or creepy that I like Zoe Kravitz as well. Either way, the talent didn’t fall far from the tree. Kravitz has her father’s musical skills and her mother’s acting abilities. Go watch Big Little Lies. You won’t be disappointed.
Elizabeth Olsen
A few years ago, we didn’t even know there was another Olsen sister, let alone one who was still interested in acting. Now, it seems quite possible that within the next ten years Elizabeth Olsen will not only be a box office goldmine but an award-winning box office gold mine. She may be doing the Marvel thing right now but check out Martha Marcy May Marlene if you want to see how great of an actress she is.
Alexandra Shipp
Halle Berry may be an Academy Award-winning actress, but she wasn’t a very good Storm. The comparatively unknown Alexandra Ship took over for her in the prequel X-Men movie series and imbued with new life. While Apocalypse wasn’t a particularly good movie, Shipp’s Storm received a fair amount of development and explored her origins that were true to the source material.
Amanda Seyfried
Amanda Seyfried is an actor’s actor. Sure, she’s drop-dead gorgeous and has hypnotizing eyes, but she could easily use that beauty to cash in on empty thrillers and blockbusters. Rather, she moves between making big budget movies and taking small-time roles that allow her to show off her talents. She’s a hard worker with a reputation for being nice. It’s rare.
Candice Patton
The Flash has been on a downturn for a long time. One of the only reasons to watch the show is for Joe West—one of the best TV dads ever—and for Candice Patton’s Iris. No longer a mere love interest, she’s her own character with her own arc. Patton imbues her with both compassion and strength. And she’s hot.
Laura Harrier
Michael Keaton stole the show in Spider-Man: Homecoming, but Laura Harrier stole our hearts. Harrier has the rare ability to convey her exact emotions without saying a word. It serves her well when dealing with Peter’s unreliability, and in the aftermath of her father’s arrest. The leggy Harrier has a long career ahead of her, and we’re happy for it.
Yvonne Strahovski
Okay, so Chuck fell apart after season 2, but we’re happy Yvonne Strahovski’s career didn’t follow suit. She’s been all over the place since—24, Dexter, Louie, and my dreams. She’s done voiceover work for the popular game series Mass Effect and is currently on the award-winning series The Handmaid’s Tale.
Georgina Campbell
Let’s acknowledge something very quickly. Georgina Campbell is primarily known for her work in the UK, so she’s not technically a “Hollywood” starlet. Yet. Between her solid resume and her star-making appearance in Black Mirror’s “Hang the DJ,” we know she’s going to be a household name within the next ten minutes.
Victoria Justice
I’ll be honest with you. When I first heard her name, I thought Victoria Justice was a comic book character. Maybe from one of the independent companies like Image or something like that. Maybe she teamed up with Wonder Woman to fight Darkseid. But no. Turns out Victoria Justice is just a talented singer and actress with the coolest name ever.
Selena Gomez
Did you ever think you’d see Selena Gomez in a Harmony Korine movie like Spring Breakers? Sure, her character left before things became completely un-Disney, but you really have to hand it to her for taking the risk with her career and image. Oh, and as a singer, she’s sold about a billion copies and gone triple platinum. So, yeah, pretty and talented.
Elodie Yung
You know her as Elektra in Daredevil season 2—a role she returned to in the dangerously boring Defenders miniseries. What you may not know is that Elodie Yung can kick your ass in real life too. Before deciding to become an actress, she obtained a black belt in karate and graduated college with a law degree.
Priyanka Chopra
Even before she became an actress, Priyanka Chopra traveled the world. Fittingly enough, she won the Miss World competition in 2000. While many winners parlay the publicity into an acting or singing career, Chopra planned on becoming a software engineer or a criminal psychologist. But, then, she became an actress and philanthropist, which is certainly a more exciting alternative.
Jamie Chung
Jamie Chung is one of a handful of actors to be involved with both DC and Marvel; she plays Valerie Vale on Gotham and Blink on The Gifted. If you don’t recognize her for either of those roles, you may, unfortunately, recognize her as Chi Chi in Dragonball Evolution. Of course, you should blame her agent rather than her.
Emily Ratajkowski
Does anybody really want to be famous for appearing in the “Blurred Lines” video? Probably not. But Emily Ratajkowski. Oh god, and she was in such masterpieces as We Are Your Friends and the Entourage movie. Geez. Well, she was great in Gone Girl and does a lot of advocacy for women’s health, which is good.
Lyndsy Fonseca
You know how it’s cool when you have a woman who kicks ass? Well, check out Lyndsy Fonseca on Nikita. Between the undercover work, the shoot-outs and the fistfights, you’ll wonder why she was relegated to a secondary role on Agent Carter. Speaking of Agent Carter, that show should not have been cancelled, especially since Agents of SHIELD has managed to live as long as it has.
Nicole Beharie
You have to admire Nicole Beharie. It was a risk leaving her co-star role on Sleepy Hollow, but she had too much integrity. FOX was messing with the show extensively, and she chose to leave rather than tolerate it. Good for her. Later this is Beharie will appear in Jacob’s Ladder because we needed a remake of that for some reason.
Hayley Atwell
And now Agent Carter herself. With an impeccable reputation for her commitment to her craft, Hayley Atwell is well known in America and in her native England. While we don’t have Agent Carter anymore, Atwell has a long resume of great performances. Most recently she was featured in the miniseries adaptation of Howard’s End.
Olivia Wilde
I met Olivia Wilde once. We were on the same plane. I wasn’t quite sure. She nodded with a slight smile to confirm. Like a hayseed, I said, “Oh, cool,” and she laughed. That was it. I figured she didn’t want to be bothered and I didn’t want to bother her. I think Harry Chapin could’ve made a good song out of this.
Blake Lively
Look, Green Lantern wasn’t her fault. We need to get over that. But really, that movie was an absolute insult to the living. Anyway, Blake Lively somehow survived being a child actor and had worked steadily since The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Gossip Girl. She doesn’t work as often anymore now, considering she and husband Ryan Reynolds (Green Lantern again!) have started a family.
Saoirse Ronan
She’s probably better known for Atonement or The Lovely Bones, but you should definitely give Byzantium and The Grand Budapest Hotel a viewing. They’re both rather somber films, but Saoirse Ronan’s performances in both are unforgettable. She another one of those actors who can tell you everything with just a glance.
Hailee Steinfeld
Just to get it out of the way, Hailee Steinfeld was indeed great in True Grit. Now, onto something more important. As of this writing, Steinfeld sang at the vigil of Leah Kuczinski, a 16-year-old fan who was tragically killed in a Go-Kart crash. Steinfeld is the epitome of class.
Emmy Rossum
Emmy Rossum was in Dragonball Evolution as well. This is another pattern. This is an unsettling one. Anyway, let’s focus on Rossum for a second. For 96 episodes across eight seasons, Rossum’s character Fiona on Shameless has proven to be a pretty lousy person. But we still like her. That’s how great of an actor Emmy Rossum is.
Britt Robertson
Over the last two years, Britt Robertson has shared the screen with Eddie Murphy, Jennifer Aniston, and Julia Roberts. If that isn’t a rub, I don’t know what is. The South Carolina native has exploded in popularity of late, thanks to her star-making role in the controversial Netflix series Girlboss.
Katherine Langford
We all know a second season of 13 Reasons Why makes about as much sense as naming a movie The Last Exorcist 2. And yet, in both cases, they exist. Regardless of why, without that first season of 13 Reasons Why, we may not have gotten Katherine Langford. That wouldn’t have been good. No one that young should be able to act as well as she does.
Nathalie Emmanuel
Nathalie Emmanuel’s Missandei is the only character on Game of Thrones who probably won’t burn in hell. They better not kill her off. Emmanuel herself has begun to achieve mainstream success outside of GoT. She’s co-starred in the Maze Runner films and had a prominent role in The Fate and the Furious.
Cara Delevingne
Back in the day, we used to make fun of models who became actors. It was an obvious cash-grab and go knows they didn’t have the talent. That’s been changing in recent years. Cara Delevingne is indeed more than a pretty face (Valerian and Suicide Squad are not her fault). Check her out in Paper Towns and Anna Karenina. You’ll see what we mean.
