Actrices I find intriguing and sexy
by arjendijkstra | created - 27 Jul 2013 | updated - 12 Jan 2015 | PublicNot too obvious I think, but then again, these actresses all made it to the big screen, so there is no doubt about some of their qualities, which ALMOST always include good acting : )
By the way: no particular order here.
1. Adrienne Shelly

After graduating Jericho High School in Jericho, New York, she enrolled at Boston University and majored in film production. She dropped out after her junior year and moved to Manhattan, where she made a ...
Adrienne Shelly appeared in two of my favorite movies by Hal Hartley: 'Trust' and 'The unbeleivable truth'. Recently I found out that she was murdered in New York, in 2006, age fourty! What a shame, because she was such a beautiful woman and one of the few actresses who never capitulated for the big bucks
2. Chloë Sevigny
Actress | We Are Who We Are
Chloë Sevigny is an Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe-winning actress and director who is known for her groundbreaking work across film, television and theatre. Sevigny has spent her career working with innovative and revolutionary filmmakers and artists including Lars von Trier, Jim ...

Mysterious, acting shy, intelligent and a bit *beep* up. I like the type of characters she plays, always a bit dark, a bit nerdy...but watch out: she is a spectacular beauty!
4. Emma Suárez
Actress | Julieta
Made her first film when she was 15 and from then on shared her time between studying dramatic art and performing in plays, films and TV productions. However it was not until the 1990s that she began to make her worthiest appearances in films directed by Julio Medem (Vacas, La Ardilla Roja and ...
When I firste saw her in 'L'ardilla roja' I immediately fell in love with her. Good actress? I suppose so, she played in 3 of Julio Medem's best films and he is one of Spain's best directors...
5. Maria Bonnevie
Actress | I Am Dina
Maria Bonnevie was born on September 26, 1973 in Västerås, Västmanlands län, Sweden. She is an actress, known for I Am Dina (2002), Another Round (2020) and The 13th Warrior (1999).
She was incredible in 'I am Dina' and I must admit I haven't seen her in any other movie. Well, I could watch this one a few more times because she is astounding in the picture, both in terms of her performance and her physical appearence. What a rare diamond!
6. Natalie Dormer

'The Tudors', 'Game of thrones', need I say more?
7. Patricia Arquette
Actress | True Romance
With her expressive blue eyes, soft, Southern-tinged voice and an acting range that can carry her from hysterically funny to terrifying in seconds, Patricia Arquette is one of the most underrated and talented actresses of her generation. Though she has been working for years, she's always stayed ...
'True romance', need I say more? This film is one of my all time favourites and her appearence is one of the reasons why. I only watch 'Medium' because she's in it. Great woman.
8. Emma Stone
Actress | La La Land
Emily Jean "Emma" Stone was born on November 6, 1988 in Scottsdale, Arizona to Krista Jean Stone (née Yeager), a homemaker & Jeffrey Charles "Jeff" Stone, a contracting company founder and CEO. She is of Swedish, German & British Isles descent. Stone began acting as a child as a member of the ...
Okay, 'Superbad' is one of my favourite comedies of all time and no, that's not necessarilly because of her, but oh my, she is so charming. She saved 'Easy A' though. Very funny, very sexy and I believe she is modest too. She's going to be big, mark my words...
9. Elizabeth Berkley

Elegant Nicole Kidman, known as one of Hollywood's top Australian imports, was actually born in Honolulu, Hawaii, while her Australian parents were there on educational visas.
Kidman is the daughter of Janelle Ann (Glenny), a nursing instructor, and Antony David Kidman, a biochemist and clinical ...
Nicole Kidman is beautiful, but I am not necessarily actracted to her. Having said this: but she is one of the best actresses of her generation. 'Dogville', 'Eyes wide shut', 'Margot at the wedding', to name but a few brilliant roles should bring her in the top ten of any list.
11. Sarah Silverman
Actress | Wreck-It Ralph
Sarah Silverman was most recently the host of the two-time Emmy-nominated weekly topical series, I Love You America, which streamed on Hulu and also received a Writers Guild Awards nomination.

Sexy as hell and she knows it! Teaser too, I like it, and oh yeah: very funny sometimes...
12. Claudia Cardinale
Actress | C'era una volta il West
Like many other female Italian film stars, Claudia Cardinale's entry into the business was by way of a beauty pageant. She was 17 years old and studying at the Centro Sperimentale in Rome when she entered a beauty contest, which resulted in her getting a succession of small film roles. Her earthy ...
Goddess of the big screen. 'Once upon a time in the west' put her in my heart (and in my fantasy) forever.
13. Laetitia Casta

I was in awe when she appeared in 'Firefly', first time I layed eyes on her. Can't tell much about her acting skills, because I never saw her anywhere else (no, I haven't seen 'Mad men' yet, sorry...).
16. Thora Birch
Actress | Ghost World
For some people, oatmeal starts the day off right - for Thora Birch, it launched a healthy career in front of the camera. It's hard to believe that the actress, who slunk into stardom with her turn as the disillusioned daughter in American Beauty (1999), is even related to the apple-cheeked blonde ...
Haven't seen anything of her since 'American Beauty' and 'Ghost world', but in the latter I felt more intrigued by her than by Scarlett Johansson, who is next on my list by the way...
17. Scarlett Johansson

Her mother, Melanie Sloan is from a Jewish family from the Bronx and her father, Karsten Johansson is a Danish-born architect from Copenhagen.

A beauty, clearly, but she is also an actress who can act beyond the pretty face. If you haven't seen 'Bad Lieutenant' (the one from Werner Herzog, 2009) you should definitely check it out.

'King Kong', 'Mulholland drive', 'Eastern Promises', '21 grams', 'Funny games U.S.', impressive list, not that memorable though, because they were no lead parts. She seems to be the 'tipical' wife or girlfriend. Well, okay, no problem.
27. Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett beat Liv Tayor in 'The Lord of the Rings', her appearence was astounding and her acting, well, not necesserily in LOTR, but her leading role in 'Elizabeth' is legendary.

Milica Bogdanovna Jovovich...
In 'The fifth element' she was great, but have you ever seen 'Joan of Arc' (by the same director, Luc Besson)? That role shows she's not only beautiful, but she can actually act! Love her.
