Actress Kerry Washington

Kerry Washington is an actress who has appeared in many roles in different dramatic media.

She has played, among other characters, the wives of two prominent men - one famous, the other infamous - in the movies. She played Ray Charles's wife Della Bea Robinson in the 2004 biopic Ray and the wife of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin Dada in The Last King of Scotland.

In 2010, she made her Broadway debut in the David Mamet play Race.

One little-known fact about Kerry Washington is that she likes to keep momentos of roles she plays, such as an item of wardrobe associated with the character.

French actress Audrey Tautou

The world was introduced to Audrey Tautou in 2001 through French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet's film Amélie, about a shy, insular waitress in Paris who sets out to change other people's lives for the better. :-)

She's probably best known to American audiences for her role as Sophie Neveu in The Da Vinci Code, which arguably solidified her status as an international star.

Other films Audrey Tautou has appeared in include Dirty Pretty Things, A Very Long Engagement, and Priceless.

Actress Zoe Saldana

Because of her role in the James Cameron blockbuster Avatar, Zoe Saldana is now a huge Hollywood star. But because what you saw of her was an animated, computer-generated blue-skinned extraterrestrial being based on live-action shots, she couldn't exactly capitalize on her looks.

That's what this blog is here for. :-)

Zoe Saldana has in fact appeared in numerous pictures since the turn of the millennium, including Center Stage, The Terminal and Vantage Point. Her other famous role is as the pirate Anamaria in 2003's Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse Of the Black Pearl.
