| Beautiful & Talented Actresses of Planet Hollywood! |
In our modern times, there are multiple channels of entertainment... unlike the one that was most prominent earlier, namely movies and Hollywood. We have TV, video gaming and music. As all of us are aware, the TV channel has expanded exponentially and is now more respected than ever. It goes without saying that video gaming has also established itself as a special art form that is close to the hearts of many. And of course, who can debate the significance of music in our daily lives - without it, life would perhaps be empty! As aptly said, music is the soundtrack of our lives!
That said, the premier entertainment channel continues to be movies as they reign supreme and the industry that is most iconic of it is Hollywood. And in Hollywood, while one does not wish to de-stress the importance of acting talent, yet it is also equally relevant that beauty and looks are key properties in the industry. Beauty is relative and therefore, the competition to rise above the rest is intense and only the ones that are probably a class apart make it.
That is automatically evident in any movie poster showcasing lead actresses - one can easily see that they are not usually like the rest of the world! They are some of the most beautiful people with hottest looks in the world (of course, perception still plays a significant role as beauty is in the eyes of the beholder). The below list (not sorted) however is not just about beauty alone, as too many pretty actresses have fallen by the wayside, for lack of acting talent. It is typically about Hollywood actresses who are not only 'hot' and 'beautiful' but also have proved themselves in acting skills or are the rising stars in the industry by virtue of breaking out in significant roles in movies!
