The beautiful actress is also very involved in charities: she is a member of “Kids with a Cause”, and has donated 250,000 dollars for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. She even helped the USA Harvest to distribute meals for the victims in New Orleans in August 2006.

FILMOGRAPHY

 Her first signal success came in her delightful, brief performance inSpider-Man (2002), for which she is best known despite subsequent leading roles, as "Betty Brant", the secretary of the cantankerous newspaper tycoon. (Banks has reprised the role in the Spider-Man series.)

Banks followed up her performance in Spider-Man with small roles in other movies released that year, Swept Away (2002) and Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can (2002), in which she plays a bank clerk who assists the young Frank Abagnale with vital information about bank checking policies.

The winsome, beautiful Banks projects an exceptionally-charming screen presence that has drawn comparisons to Audrey Hepburn. Though her off-screen vocabulary is at times sprinkled with Valley-speak, her performances demonstrate solid acting skill and a keen intelligence. Banks and her boyfriend since college days, Max Handelman, married in 2003.

PERSONAL  QUOTES

I really think that we do a disservice to young people in America by not being more open about sex. Abstinence programs do not work. It's a natural, physical thing having sex.

I'm pleased that Hollywood hasn't figured out how to pigeonhole me yet..."

I love physical comedy. I love Oscar Wilde, I love Shakespeare comedies, I love improv. I knew I had a knack for it at a certain level, but I came into this business as a classically trained drama student and that was my reputation. When you live in a leading lady's body, which I do, you have to constantly prove that you are funny.

Every once in a while I play a true idiot, and they're really fun to play.

 

SALMA HAYEK BIOGRAPHY

SALMA  HAYEK

' I   have  stolen  a  couple  of hearts   and  they  are  in  my  private  collection  '!

BIOGRAPHY

The  amazing  Salma  Hayek  was  born  on   September  2nd  1966  in  the  oil   boomtown  of  Coatzacolcos,  Mexico . Hayek  has  freely  admitted  that  she  and   her  brother  Sami  were   spoiled   rotten  by  her  well   to do   Lebanese  Mexican   businessman  father  and  her  Mexican  born  opera  singing  mother .  After  having  seen  Willy  Wonka  and   Chololate  Factory  1971  in  a  local  movie  theatre ,  Salma  decided  she  wanted  to  become  an  actress.  Her  education  included   a  stint  at  a  New   Orleans   convent  school   where  she  pulled  pranks  on  the  nuns  by  setting  their  clock  back  three  hours. She  was  soon   expelled  . Only  after  attending  Mexico  City  Universidad  Iberoamericana  did  she  feel  ready  to  purse  acting  seriously.

FILMOGRAPHY

In 1991, the ambitious Hayek moved to Los Angeles, determined to improve her English and become a Hollywood actress. After small gigs, she landed a role opposite Antonio Banderas in 1995's Desperado. The success of the film garnered her work in relatively lackluster movies, including the teen thriller The Faculty, 1999's Wild Wild West and 1997's Fools Rush In. Subsequently, Hayek became engaged with smaller, independent pictures and started her own production company, Ventanarosa.

Hayek's increasingly intellectual and passionate approach to filmmaking culminated in her dream role in 2002'sFrida, in which she both produced and starred. The film was nominated for six Academy Awards, including a Best Actress nomination for Hayek, who was the first Latin actress to be nominated in the category.

Large-scale projects followed the success of Frida, including directing 2002's The Maldonado Miracle, starring in the final episode of the Desperado trilogy, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, and appearing in the heist thriller After The Sunset with Pierce Brosnan.

I keep waiting to meet a man who has more balls than I do.

I act tall!" "But look how short I am...I can't even act to be tall. I'm five-two. I can't even create the illusion that I am tall!

At the beginning [my career] was hard. People were like, 'Who is this Mexican jumping bean?'

"In my twenties I was offered lots of parts where there wasn't much to do but act sexy. I still get offered those roles - but now I take it as a compliment." Woman's World (7-11-06)

About Madonna: "She always paid attention to the Latin community. I was grateful somebody like her appreciated our culture" (InStyle magazine, Sept 2006).

If a man lets all of my dogs sleep in the bed with us, then that is the most romantic thing. You must love my dogs in order to love me. A man who is nice to my animals and doesn't shoo them away - well, that's the height of romance.

It sounds trite to go after men who are nice but when you've been hurt a lot it becomes appealing.

EARLY  LIFE
A high school dropout, Smith’s dramatic life began quietly in a small Texas town. She had a difficult childhood, growing up without her father who left the family. Smith married Billy Smith when she was only 17 years old. The couple had a son named Daniel in 1984, but the marriage later broke up. Not content with small-town life, Smith dreamed of becoming the next Marilyn Monroe.

Before her big break, Anna Nicole Smith worked numerous jobs, including as a waitress and later a dancer in a strip club. While working at a club in Houston, Smith met Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II. They married in 1994. At the time, she was 26 and he was 89. The marriage ended with Marshall's death the following year. Smith spent years fighting his son, E. Pierce Marshall, in court over her husband's estate. The case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court in 2006. The court's decision opened the door to Anna Nicole Smith collecting some money from her late husband's estate.
CAREER
Despite her legal woes, Smith stayed in the spotlight. With her Marilyn Monroe-styled hair and Texas accent, she was a fixture in celebrity magazines and tabloids. In 2002, television viewers got inside look at the life of this wacky, quirky celebrity with a new series. The Anna Nicole Show, a reality program, followed her through her daily activities. At times, the show was difficult to watch as Smith seemed disoriented or confused, but the audience continued to tune in to see what Smith might do or say next. She was often shown in the company of Howard K. Stern, her attorney. While the show went off the air in 2004, Anna Nicole Smith remained popular with the American publ.

While her professional life appeared to be on the rise, Anna Nicole Smith experienced both joy and tragedy in her personal life. She announced that she was pregnant during the summer of 2006 and gave birth to a daughter on September 7 at a hospital in Nassau, Bahamas. She named her child Dannielynn, and was thrilled to be a mother again. But her happiness was short-lived. Her 20-year-old son Daniel died only three days later from an apparent drug overdose. Later reports indicated that the interaction of methadone and two different types of antidepressants may have caused his death. Anna Nicole Smith never truly recovered from the loss.

KATE BOSWORTH BIOGRAPHY

KATE BOSWORTH

' Just  being  comfortable in  my own  skin  and  with  the  body  that  I have  was  nice.'  On  her  role  in  Blue  Crush.

BIOGRAPHY                                              

Birth  Name   Catherine  Ann  Bosworth                                        
Nick  Name   Katie
Date  of  Birth    2 January 1983
Height   5.5


Unlike  the  characters   Kate  Bosworth   has  portrayed  in  television  and  in  film  which  are  known  as  townies  Kate  spent   most  of  her  childwood   in  different  cities  and  states . At  age  6  she  and  her parents  moved  to  San  Francisco  then  to  connecticut  at 9  and  to  Cohasset,  Massachusetts  at  14 .  It  was  14 that  Kate  a  champion   equestrian   learned  of  a  casting   call  for  a   movie  about  horses.

Throughout high school, Kate maintained academic excellence and was an honor roll student and a member of National Honor Society. In her spare time, she has volunteered with various non-profit organizations, including a Los Angeles program for physically challenged children who learn to ride horses with assistance.CAREER

Although Kate attended the open audition in New York for the Robert Redford film The Horse Whisperer (1998) simply in hopes of getting the experience of what it was like to audition for a movie role, she won the role of the female lead's best friend and the chance to work with director/star Robert Redford. Her previous acting experience had consisted of singing at county fairs in California and acting in a community theatre production of "Annie". However, since landing the movie role, Kate seemed to be in more sound stages than ranches. Fearful that an early career would rob her of her childhood, she took 18 months off to live a normal life before opting to plunge into acting again. In 2000, she landed the role of the bratty sister in the feature film The Newcomers (2000) and the part of a football co-captain's girlfriend in the Denzel Washington movie Remember the Titans (2000).

Between 1988 and 1997, Harold, or Hal as he was more often known, was on an upward curve. Senior Vice President for Ermenegildo Zegna, in charge of the retailing of their fine men's clothing, he moved on to become Senior Vice President and General Merchandising Manager of the division of Macy's dealing with the I. Magnin and Bullock's Wilshire brands, the top end of Macy's lines. Hal's success would see the family move from LA to San Francisco when Kate was 6, then on to Connecticut when she was 9. Here they would set up home in Darien, a small town near Stamford, by the coast just north of New York City. With Hal (born in 1949) being a Class of '67 alumnus of the prestigious Baylor School, Darien was a place in keeping with Bosworth family traditions. Originally a colony of summer houses built by rich New Yorkers after the Civil War, it was now one of the most expensive places to live in the country. In 2000, the median house price was $1 million and the population was 96% white. Parts of both versions of The Stepford Wives were filmed there.

JANUARY JONES BIOGRAPHY

JANUARY JONES


January  Jones is  a women  who has never  been shy   about  strutting  her stuff .'   Why not show  of it  you  have  got  something to  show? ' she says.


BIOGRAPHY

Birth  Name   January  Kristen  Jones
Date  of  Birth    5 January  1978
Height  5.6


January  Jones  was  born  in  Sioux  Falls  South  Dakota  but  was  raised  in  a  small  town  of   some  400  souls  in  the  Mount   Rushmore   State  for  the  first  decade  of  her  life. January  is  her  real  name  as  she  was  named  after  January  Wayne  a  character  in   Jacqueline   Susanns  potboiler   Once  is  Not  Enough  1975.  She  worked  at  the   All  American   job  of   counter  girl  at  Dairy   Queen  after  school.


Her father was a teacher, and the family eventually moved back to Sioux Falls, the largest city in South Dakota. After graduating from Roosevelt High School in Sioux Falls, she moved to New York City to become a model. Despite her lack of height (5'6", which is short for a fashion model), she got modeling gigs, including Abercrombie & Fitch ads, because of her striking good looks. However, modeling was just a means to an end, to get out of South Dakota and avoid going to college.


T V APPEARENCE

She got her first taste of acting from TV commercials and found that she had flair for it, even though she did not act in high school and had no training. January appeared in a couple of TV pilots and a cable TV show before making her big screen debut in All the Rage (1999), an indie that never got a real release. She followed it up with a small role in the teen thriller The Glass House (2001)

CAREER

Her actual debut in the sense of attracting attention was in the near silent role of the beauty who entices Jane Fonda's son, Troy Garity, in the  Bruce Willis-Cate Blanchett-Billy Bob Thornton comedy Bandits (2001). It was not a career-making part. At the time the movie was released, she was ending a three-year relationship with Ashton Kutcher.

Small roles followed, including a "don't blink or you won't see me" part in the Adam Sandler-Jack Nicholson comedy Anger Management (2003). She gained some career traction with a good role in another comedy, American Wedding (2003), a sequel to American Pie (1999). Until she landed the part on "Mad Men" (2007), which made its debut on AMC in 2007, her career was steady but undistinguished.

"I choose roles that are not me", January has said. The role of Betty Draper has garnered her two Golden Globe nominations and an Emmy nomination as Best Actress. Her cool, Grace Kelly-ish blonde ice queen looks -- counterpointed by her soul burning in her bright blue eyes -- have established her as a retro icon of the 21st Century.


 

Significant Others

• Companion: Ashton Kutcher. Dated from 1998-2001
• Companion: Jason Sudeikis. Dated for several months in 2010; no longer together
• Companion: Josh Groban. Dated from 2003-2006
