Naomi Watts
Born in England, but raised in Australa, Naomi Watts had her big break when she starred in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive in 2001. Since then she has numerous important roles include the lead in the remake of The Ring, King Kong and Divorce, Le.

She is a close friend of Nicole Kidman, who she met at a shoot for a bikini ad.

Wise words: "I want a big paycheck, so put me in some dumb romantic comedy any day".
