Hot Actresses Under 25

Hot Actresses Under 25 Biography
We’ve been running this list for six years now – originally it was top ten under 25, a definition we realised was too narrow as our favourite stars got older. Funnily enough this year the youngsters are back in force – only three of our top ten, and one of the top five, are over 25.

What does that mean? Well, obviously we’re not claiming that Mia Wasikowska (ranked 3 in our chart) is as big a movie star as Natalie Portman (ranked 14). And frankly I would be surprised if Carey Mulligan (ranked 5) can command a paycheque comparable with, say, Scarlett Johansson’s (15). Rather, the list is a spot-check, a snapshot of how these talented actresses have fared over the past year or so. The fact is, while Natalie Portman has a large and enthusiastic fan-base, her recent work has been relatively disappointing, and while Scarlett did show some mettle in Iron Man 2 this season, she’s been taking some down time otherwise.

Similarly, in terms of box office numbers, Megan Fox would take some beating because of her Transformers roles – but it is debatable that those films would have performed any less impressively if, say, Emma Stone, had been cast instead. But Jennifer’s Body was box office poison, and Megan was front and centre in that marketing campaign.

To arrive at our rankings, we do look at the box office, and also at awards and critical reception – but also, less scientifically, we try to take the measure of career momentum by looking at the calibre of these actresses projects and collaborators, the kind of roles that they are playing and the buzz they are generating. So while Michelle Williams (our number 2 pick) may not be rolling in the big bucks, her high showing can be explained by the residual impact of her superb performance in Wendy And Lucy (among others); her exceptional work this year in Martin Scorsese’s hit Shutter Island; and the excitement around the Sundance drama Blue Valentine, costarring Ryan Gosling.
