How You Know Her: As if placing twice on our annual Hot 100 list wasn't achievement enough, Rachel won an Oscar in 2006 for her role as Tessa Quayle, the murdered activist wife of an English doctor, in The Constant Gardener. Unlike her character, Rachel's career continues to flourish and her latest role in The Lovely Bones has her playing a vulnerable MILF who strays from her marriage following her daughter's death. 

How Was It Like Playing One Hot Mama? "It was a difficult experience, not because I‘m a mother. I played a mother before I was a mother, and I have to imagine all sorts of things...Some are beautiful, some are ugly, some are difficult and I’m not sure that being a mother helps really. It might though, it would be a hard experiment to find out if it helped or not." —JoBlo.com

Rachel was one-half of one of the Best Movie Catfights. She has also starred in one of Our Favorite New Year's Eve-Related Movies.
