Another vote for Natalie Portman in The Professional (I was dumbfounded at how gorgeous she was/is). She’s still generally my pick for prettiest girl in the world.
Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth.
Jennifer Jason Leigh in Fast Time at Ridgemont High.
I think I first saw Paul Newman (swoon!) when I was in junior high school, in Cool Hand Luke. I was more impressed by the egg-eating contest and the tag line (“What we have here is a FAILURE to communicate!”) than by Newman.
By the time I was in high school, I was full of raging female hormones when I saw Exodus on TV.
Life has never been the same, since.
In my college dorm room, I had a black and white poster of Paul, with just the blue eyes colored in.
Those dreamy blue eyes are closed forever now, but I still drink Paul Newman’s coffee and enjoy his salad dressing on my tossed greens.
I first fell in love with Hugh Jackman after seeing him on stage in Boy from Oz. What a great song-and-dance man!!
I avoided seeing any of the X-Men movies, wanting to keep my image of Hugh as a song-and-dance man. But I finally broke down this weekend, watching X-Men 4 (Wolverine) and 1.
Holy Mother of God. Jackman owns that role. Nobody better ever play Wolverine again!!
