| 75- Meg Ryan |
|
|
|
|
Born in 1961, the daughter of a casting agent (always helpful), Meg Ryan first made an impression in the soap opera As The World Turns, which she appeared on for two years in the early 80s. After showing up in Top Gun (she briefly dated co-star Anthony Edwards before dropping him for Dennis Quaid) she almost literally came to prominence in When Harry Met Sally, and has proven herself to be built for light romantic comedy. However she has also portrayed a drug addict in The Doors and an alcoholic in When A Man Loves A Woman. Her name, uninterestingly, is an anagram of "Germany".

| 74- Angelina Jolie |
|
|
|
|
The daughter of Jon Voight, Angelina Jolie was born in LA in 1975. After meeting Jonny Lee Miller on the set of Hackers, she married him with his name written across her back in her own blood. Such behaviour was not out of character for Jolie, who won an Oscar for Girl, Interrupted, a film set in a mental institution. After divorcing Lee Miller just as he disappeared off the celebrity radar, she appeared in the deeply pointless Gone In 60 Seconds but gave an uplifting performance in Tomb Raider.

| 73- Hugh Grant |
|
|
|
|
Born in London in 1960, Hugh Grant became famous for his floppy hair, stumbling speech and posh girlfriend Liz Hurley. The star of the 1994 "Brit Hit", Four Weddings And A Funeral, playing a bumbling Englishman chasing an American, Grant had a tougher time in Hollywood. After appearing in a series of star vehicles such as Nine Months, Extreme Measures and Mickey Blue Eyes, he achieved real fame in America when he was arrested for lewd conduct in the Divine Brown incident. Grant re-established himself in the 1999 hit, Notting Hill, playing a bumbling Englishman chasing an American, this time alongside Julia Roberts, and has now decided that British success is best after starring in Bridget Jones' Diary and About a Boy.

| 72- George Clooney |
|
|
|
|
Born in Lexington, Kentucky in 1961. His father had his own chat show and his aunt was famed 50s singer Rosemary Clooney. George's first love was baseball, and it was only when his trials for the Cincinnati Reds failed that he turned to acting. He moved to LA in 1982 and appeared in numerous failed TV pilots and films such as Return of the Killer Tomatoes. He finally hit paydirt playing Dr Ross in the TV medical drama ER and quickly became a confirmed leading man. Famed for refusing to marry and for living with his pet pig, Max, he has found success in Three Kings and O Brother, Where Art Thou?/b>.

| 71- Woody Allen |
|
|
|
|
Born Allen Konigsberg in Brooklyn in 1935. After flunking out of the motion picture production course at NYU after one term, Allen spent years as a TV writer and stand-up, only making his film acting debut at the age of 30 with What's New, Pussycat?. Since then he has become one of cinema's most respected auteurs, responsible for many of the funniest films ever made, and for several lesser-known flops. However he may be unaware of this, as he claims never to watch any of his work or listen to critics. In 1995, a UK magazine rather improbably voted him the 89th sexiest film star of all time.
