Carice Van Houten

Birthdate: September 5, 1976
Location: The Netherlands
Occupation: actress

Though you may not know her name, Carice Van Houten's been on this list more times than anybody except Jake Gyllenhaal--they've both appeared the last four years running. She's a Dutch actress who first appeared in sixties period piece Suzy Q. Soon she'll be in Zwartboek, a Dutch-language World War II thriller directed by Paul Verhoeven (you know, who made Showgirls and Starship Troopers).

She made the list because she is wildly photogenic and Lord Ravage! Ravage!, the Dutch member of the nominating committee, is smitten with her.
