Actress Most Likely To Be The Pretty Girl All The Other Girls Hate

valeria-golino-al-festival-di-cannes-2015

 

Valeria Golino

She’s older (50), and most times doesn’t look she’s brushed her hair, but she’s been dating a younger man, the uber-famous Riccardo Scamarcio, for years, and if there are rumors about cheating in that relationship, it’s usually about her cheating on him. 

She’s been making movies since the 80s and has crossed over to Hollywood movies, and now she’s writing and directing too. What’s NOT to be catty about?

He’s laughing, but is it with you or at you? This guy with the wry smile and the amused eyes is Italy’s top actor whether you get him or not.

SEE HIM IN THE GREAT BEAUTY (La Grande Bellezza)

Actor Most Likely To Have Been Prom King, Captain Of The Football Team, and President Of The Student Council

Edoardo Leo

Edoardo Leo

Is it just me, or does Edoardo look like an all-American boy?  Charming, smart, talented, likeable. But not a kiss-ass. He’s been in the principal’s office a few times.

He starred in this year’s Tribeca Film Festival winner Perfetti Sconosciutti (Perfect Strangers) and you can see him in Loro Chi? (Them Who?) at this years ICFF.

Greta’s going places. Soon, you’ll be seeing her in the American tabloids at Oscar parties being called Kristen Stewart’s “gal-pal”.

WATCH HER IN SUBURRA

She’s great, but she scares me a little. Her intensity reminds me of Anna Magnani.

WATCH HER IN THE DINNER (I NOSTRI RAGAZZI) and VINCERE.

This guy is no doubt the star of teenage fantasies as well as the star of box office hits.
