Our top 10, right here
1. Marion Cotillard
The world’s most attractive Leeds Utd fan was superb in Rust And Bone, and got under Batman’s skin in The Dark Knight Rises.
2. Jessica Ennis
The face of the Olympics before the Olympics. Her gold meant she remained the face of the Olympics after the Olympics.
3. Lena Dunham
The awkward sex and spot-on observations of HBO’s Girls are all thanks to Dunham.
4. Berenice Marlohe
As Skyfall’s Sévérin, Marlohe ticked all our Bond girl boxes.
5. Julia Davis
Davis’s award-winning spoof period drama Hunderby was a dark riot of Victorian freaks and dead parrots.
6. Mila Kunis
Not content with stealing the limelight from a toy in Ted, she also saved the life of a worker who suffered a seizure at her home.
7. Zawe Ashton
As Vod in Fresh Meat, Ashton was responsible for the best one-liners. On her cleaning job: “I’m like a ninja with pillow chocolates.”
8. Jennifer Lawrence
Silver Linings Playbook proved she could make us laugh. The Hunger Games proved she could beat us up.
9. Clare Balding
Went from vaguely recognisable racing pundit to National Treasure.
10. Judi Dench
Dench remains our dream aunt – the one with the wickedest stories and choicest drinks cabinet.
