7) Scarlett Johansson

Short Bio

Scarlett Johansson’s transformation from talented child actress to gorgeous leading lady seems to have happened overnight, as it’s impossible to remember a time when she wasn’t an object of our desire. Her career-defining role alongside Bill Murray in 2003’s Lost in Translation paved the way for high-profile gigs in films like 2004’s In Good Company and 2006’s The Prestige, yet there’s little doubt that her best work has emerged as a result of her current stint as legendary filmmaker Woody Allen’s latest muse (which has afforded her the opportunity to work side-by-side with such notable names as Hugh Jackman and Jonathan Rhys Meyers in films like Match Point, Scoop and Vicky Cristina Barcelona). Next up for Scarlett is a role in He's Just Not That Into You.

Why She's No.7?

Though she’s no stranger to eliciting the lust of male fans, Scarlett Johansson’s two cinematic outings in 2008 proved effective in heightening her already astronomical appeal. Her role alongside Natalie Portman in the bodice-ripper The Other Boleyn Girl proved that she could step into the shoes of a period character while also maintaining her innate sensuality, although there’s little doubt that it was her work in Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona that left us hot and bothered. Her steamy sex scenes with costars Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem instantly became the stuff of cinematic legend, and it subsequently became easy enough to forgive Scarlett Johansson for taking herself off the market by marrying Ryan Reynolds this past September.
