| 90- Gerard Depardieu |
|
|
|
|
Born in Chateauroux, France, in 1948, Depardieu is one of his country's best-loved cinematic exports, even achieving sex symbol status despite Mother Nature having stacked the odds against him. A juvenile delinquent, the young Gerard was advised to take up acting by a prison psychologist. He first made an impression as a wandering criminal in the hilariously immoral Les Valseuses in 1974, before exploring S&M in Maitresse (1976). Depardieu is still a big star in France and admired all over the world, thanks to excellent turns in Jean de Florette and Cyrano de Bergerac, among others.

|
|
|
|
Gwyneth Paltrow was born to award-winning actress Blythe Danner and film director Bruce Paltrow in Los Angeles in 1972. She acted alongside her mother and, after some good reviews, quit her history of art degree. While driving to see Silence of the Lambs with Steven Spielberg he offered her the part of Wendy in Hook, and her film career was launched. Her finest hour to date was her performance as Shakespeare's muse in 1998's multi-award winning Shakespeare In Love and she is best known to some for her weepy acceptance speech on winning the Best Actress Oscar for her part in that film.

| 88- Juliette Binoche |
|
|
|
|
Born in Paris in 1964, Juliette Binoche first attracted attention in Jean-Luc Godard's Hail Mary, a modern reworking of the immaculate conception which was personally condemned by the Pope. Since then she has starred in numerous arthouse hits (The Unbearable Lightness Of Being, Three Colours: Blue, Les Amants du Pont-Neuf), bedded Jeremy Irons in Damage, and won an Oscar for The English Patient. Everyone had expected the best supporting actress gong to go to Lauren Bacall – Binoche, accepting the award, admitted that she hadn't bothered preparing a speech.

| 87- Winona Ryder |
|
|
|
|
Timothy Leary's god-daughter was born Winona Horowitz in 1971 and spent part of her childhood on a hippy commune. She dyed her blonde hair black for Lucas (1986) and never went back, boosting her profile with the superb Heathers in 1989 before suffering premature burn-out the following year – appearing in three films in 12 months, including Mermaidsand Edward Scissorhands, meant she had to pull out of The Godfather Part III when she physically could not get out of bed. Unfortunately given her early potential, she has become less in demand as she has got older. When she and Johnny Depp split, he reportedly altered his famous tattoo simply by removing the "ona" from "Winona forever".

| 86- Grace Kelly |
|
|
|
|
The daughter of a model and a wealthy industrialist, and the niece of a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, Grace Kelly was born in Philadelphia in 1928. After modelling in New York and appearing on Broadway, Kelly debuted in a bit part in Fourteen Hours (1951) before starring opposite Gary Cooper in High Noon. She was a favourite of Alfred Hitchcock, making three films with him – on the set of the last, To Catch A Thief, she met Prince Rainier of Monaco. She married him in 1956 and became – fittingly for someone with her regal, icy beauty – Princess Grace of Monaco, retiring from the screen at the height of her fame. She famously died in a car crash in 1982.
