Hollywood’s Top Young Actresses

8. Emily Blunt

This 25 year old British star has already won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for her work in the BBC TV movie Gideon’s Daughter. At this point in her career, she’s moved over to full time feature film work and her star continues to be on the rise. Look for her to appear in more Hollywood movies in the coming years and for her name recognition to rise to the level of others on this list.

Breakout Role: My Summer Love, as Tamsin in the dark British movie, which depicted a story of deception and lesbian love in the English countryside.

Biggest Hit: The Devil Wears Prada, as Emily the first assistant to Meryl Streep’s fashion queen, the powerful and sophisticated Miranda Priestly.

Unappreciated Gem: Charlie Wilson’s War, despite starring Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, this movie did not rake in the cash, plus it features Blunt in a great scene showing a lot of skin.

Upcoming Feature: The Wolfman, coming in 2009 a blockbuster concerning the story of a werewolf.

  1. McAdams plays OWEN Wilson’s love interest in Wedding Crashers , not Luke Wilson’s.

  2. Ziyi Zhang?! Are you high? I didn’t even know her NAME before this post :\

  3. Also I can’t believe you didn’t mention that article where Anne Hathaway admitted to doing anal. That alone should make her number 1.

  4. I think Goya’s Ghosts is Natalie Portman’s most underestimated film. Loved it!

  5. Megan Fox? She could be the hottest girl ever.

  6. Kirsten Dunst? Are you insane? She looks like her whole face has been deep-fried. Terrible choice…

  7. McAdams is aight…i dont really like how she does her makeup though. she’d be better off going with a more natural look.

  8. In terms of Evan Rachel Wood, “King of California” is another great movie.

  9. Michael Christopher needs to watch more movies.

  10. what the hell? where are jessica biel and jessica alba? this list is garbage.

  11. your list is skewed, my friend.

  12. Another vote for Megan Fox, can’t believe she was left from the list.

  13. Scarlett Johansson’s breakout Role should be ‘horse wisperer’.
    Apart from Ziyi Zhang, nice list.

    >>what the hell? where are jessica biel and jessica alba? this list is garbage.

    It’s a list of *actresses*, not pinups, callcenterguy.

  15. where the hell is Megan Fox…seriously seriously…this list is crap (not really), but yea she should totally be on this list

  16. It’s the author’s opinion, of course your list will be different. Instead of complaining, try giving constructive reasons why the list should be different.

  17. Hehe they said good lookin girls with acting skills… biel, fox and alba are hot but they aren’t up there in acting..i wouldn’t call transformers and fantastic 4 golden global/oscar worthy… they’re still hot though.

  18. Megan Fox has had one roll.

  19. This list isn’t just a list of the hottest young actresses but the best. Megan Fox isn’t a good actress, though i’ll concede she’s hot as hell.

  20. Dude, Elisha Cuthbert should be up there somewhere. The Girl Next Door? She’s hot as hell in that movie!

  21. you nailed it by saying Scarlett Johansson is number one. Besides being a damn fine looking woman she is one of the smartest and most thoughtful actresses of any age.

    Her work in “Girl with the pearl earring” and “Lost in traslation” was superb.

  22. Not entirely sure that I agree with the entire list, but I love the #1 choice. Scarlett Johansson is the real deal.

  23. Im a big fan of Rachael McAdams. Still not quite sure why she hasn’t become a big name star in the business!

    Chuck

  24. While my opinions do not agree with this list, I do not think it’s garbage at all. Some of the comments I am reading seem to equate looks with acting, which is not what I believe the man is going for. I agree with the fact that Zhang Ziyi should not really be on the list, as far as Hollywood movies are concerned. She is listable if we were talking Asian cinema. Kirsten Dunst is not the best looking, and I am not a fan of hers in Spider-man, but she has without a doubt been one of the top young actresses for a while in Hollywood. I do believe that Jessica Biel should’ve taken someone’s spot on this list, but Jessica Alba, while hot and popular, isn’t exactly one of the best actresses or even close. As for Megan Fox, maybe in a few years, when she stars in a couple more movies where she could do a little more acting, instead of just standing around as eye candy.

    Keep it up dude, let’s hope you do another list soon.

  25. No love for Mila Kunis?

  26. No Mila?

  27. what a terrible fucking list.

    go watch some decent movies before making a list.

    Sadly, Stealth > Rush Hour 3 and Jessica Biel doesnt even make the list.

    EPIC FAIL

  28. Summer Glau. Get your radar checked.

  29. What about Hayden Panettiere ?

  30. Kirsten Dunst is the most annoying actress in the history of film. I want to stab her to death with a spork infected with super aids.

  31. Not a bad list, why are people hating on Kristen Dunst she looks like a girl next door type.

  32. Replace Nicole Kidman? These new actresses are young
    so may have a point because people do get old.

    thanks from tony

  33. Estoye: I’ve seen a TON of the movies she was in and I STILL didn’t know her name.

  34. How is Natalie Portman NOT Number 1? She doesnt need make up to look good. End.

  35. No Michelle WIlliams?? She’s one of the best young actresses working today.

  36. [...] I’ll amend over time, and probably add some runner’s up..  but for now this list started from here. [...]

  37. I wish Christina Ricci was in the list.. Why?. She is both damn talented and beautiful((

  38. christina ricci is a fucken bitch

  39. Fuck dat!!! the numba 1 hottest young hollywood girl is Megan Fox not Scarlet J

  49. what about Kristin Stewart? She may not have been in THAT many movies, but she was recently in one movie, twilight, and is probably as well known as ANY of the actresses on this list. honestly, she got huge with ONE movie! everyone i know knows her name, or at least would if they heard it! and she’s gorgeous! where the hell is she?

    and why are people mentioning the jonas brothers? yeah, they’re hot, but this is the HOLLYWOOD’S TOP YOUNG ACTRESSES list! not the HOLLYWOOD’S TOP YOUNG ROCK STARS list! people are so stupid!

  50. 4 those who talk about ” Y didn’t megan fox make it 2 the list?” it’s very simple !! this list is about the TOP TEN YOUNG ACTRESSES !!! it’s about GOOD AND TALENTED ACTRESSES !! not Hot actresses !! and megan fox is hot she’s NO.1 or 2 always but she can’t act 4 shit !!!!!!!
