Actress is Jennifer Garner. I like her because she seems very 'real' and down to earth. I loved her in Alias and have enjoyed her movies as well.

My favorite is probably Juila Roberts. She seems like just a regular person and has a good sense of humor.

I like Charlize Theron. She is not afraid to take risks and she is unapologetic for being true to herself.

My favorite actress is Julia Stiles. Her smile illuminates the screen and she is adept at everything from serious drama to romantic comedy.

Mt favorite Actress is Meg Ryan because she is my age and she still looks so beautiful. Plus she's a totally amazing actress.

My favorite is Angelina Jolie. She's not afraid of being who she wants to be and forging her own path. She's incredibly beautiful and a wonderful person and isn't afraid of what the media thinks. I also admire how she found someone who made her happy and re-evaluated how she thought about things instead of being stubborn for no reason.

My favorite actress by far is Helena Bonham Carter. Besides being incredibly beautiful and gifted, she is highly selective in the roles that she chooses, and only accepts roles of truly interesting characters. Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd; Mrs. Bucket in Charlie & the Chocolate Factory; Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter; her role in the Corpse Bride. Not a single traditional "chick flick" in her repertoire (that I can think of). She also seems to be highly intelligent: she gives great interviews and is fluent in French as well as English. Frankly, I just have a big fat crush on her!

Angelina Jolie - I've enjoyed her movies - but what she has done for the world has been amazing. She really does put her money where her mouth is. The fact that she has adopted children in need as well as devoted her time and money to so many causes is amazing. She goes to Washington to lobby for refugee rights. So many people she look up to what she does.

Angelina Jolie, not because I think she's extremely attractive (although some think she is) but because she's actually used her celebrity to do good things in the world. I was particularly impressed by her (and Pitt's) decision to auction their baby's picture off to the media and donate the proceeds to charity.... unlike a certain other celebrity couple who were expecting at the same time.
