Birthday: August 9, 1976
Hometown: Paddington, London, England

How You Know Her: After making a million gamers' pants tighten as the first official Lara Croft model, the English-born, Bengali-and-Irish Rhona put her exotic beauty and Tomb Raider-honed asskickery to the test in a series of action films like Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, Skinwalkers, Beowulf, and the criminally underrated Doomsday. Rhona also has the distinction of starring alongside a pre-Borat Sasha Baron Cohen in Ali G Indahouse, in a role we endorse 100%. Next up, you can catch her in the thriller Stolen alongside Mad Men's Jon Hamm.

On Her Underworld Look: "We had to use organic material but keep it as kind of corset-y and sexy and tight, but also plausible that you could fight and go out and be a warrior in it too. So with the poetic license and creative license that you have in the Underworld world, we didn’t worry about floaty dresses and sort of long flowing hair with sort of a widow’s peaks or any of that stuff, no." - About.com

On Being a Woman of Action: "To get the opportunity to do reverse 180 hand brake turns in a Bentley and learn how to wrestle and head butt and sword fight and, you know, horse ride with fangs in and eyes in and get paid for it. Look, it's either your cup of tea or it's not. It's a big cup of tea for me, a pot. I love it." - MoviesOnline

Stolen debuted on Video on Demand on March 3rd and will be hitting select theaters starting March 12th.
