Where You’ve Seen Her: Growing up across from the 20th Century Fox studio lot, this Tinseltown hottie had a burning desire to act from a young age. After being on the production side for several years, she turned to acting and has since scored some major roles. Credits include 2006's Idlewild and a co-starring role opposite Denzel Washington in Déjà Vu. You can catch her in the upcoming based-on-a-true-story drama Precious (premiering December 3), where she's already attracting Oscar buzz as inspirational teacher, Ms. Rain.

Love at First Sight: Paula met her husband, singer Robin Thicke, at a teen club in Los Angeles when she was 15, and he was 14. The two are expecting their first child together next year.
