1.Rae Latt in “Blood Type: Unknown”

- Thanks to the enchanting Miss Rae, I’ve got a look at her intriguingly poised upcoming feature “Blood Type:Unknown” which has an interesting mystique surrounding the plot.
- The film is screening at the Newport Beach Film Festival 2013 and she plays Jean Landale, a mom who has to send her only daughter off to college!
- Known for her roles on TV in “Criminal Minds” and “The Office”, she’s currently amassing an impressive body of work on the indie scene.

- Her memorable performance in “Maniac” as Lucie, one of the early victims of Psychopath Frank (Elijah Wood) is delightfully saucy.
- So is her photoshoot for iheartgirls.com (above) in her sexy kitty-like costume that fits her fun personality to a tee.
- She exudes a charismatic foxiness that certifies her as a bonafide screen vixen.

3. Sarah Deakins in “The Mark”

- Sarah was one of the first actresses from Canada I got to know when i first started out the blog and you can see why so many will be obsess with her.
- Exceptional beautiful on film, television and print, she’s also built a adoring fan-base thanks to her stints on popular sci-fi TV shows such as Stargate.
- Her ability to reach people and get them involve in the story is amazing so catch her at her beguiling best in action thriller “The Mark” which has been released on DVD.

Euro Vixen: Maya Sansa

She’s been called a performer with a boundless range and MAYA SANSA has proven to exude the omnipotent talent that goes above just her looks. Of Persian-Italian heritage, MAYA can be considered as one of Europe’s compelling and effusive actresses. In 2000, she was included in the prestigious Shooting Stars by the European Film Promotion which lauds the best young European talents and for me, it holds such fascination as many of the winners have gone to achieve fame. With MAYA being one of the riveting stars appearing in the complex Italian Drama “Dormant Beauty”, it’s fitting we built up excitement for this precious Bella. Alongside the formidable Isabelle Huppert, she’s just as excellent at crafting an emotional bond with audiences. “Dormant Beauty” is screening at the Miami International Film Festival 2013 where you’ll be able to watch her playing Rossa, suicidal drug addict. Just as she catches the eye of a doctor in the film, MAYA who is the essence of captivation will endear herself to the masses.

As a fan, it’s heartening to know there’s a wealth of screen sirens all over the world and I’m now making it a point to connect with those from Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Ireland, Scotland as well as the Nordic countries. With MAYA, she’s been enticing us from the start, her breakthrough role as a innocent yet seductive nurse in Marco Bellochio’s “LA BALIA” led to her rapid rise. Her upcoming feature “Alceste à bicyclette (Cycling With Moliere)” sees MAYA going the arthouse route as a divorcee called Francesca, the love interest of the dramedy where she converses in French throughout. It’s no exaggeration to admire the romanticism instilled by Italian actresses and MAYA has proven to be mesmerizing each time.

Euro Vixen: Lidia Vitale

LIDIA VITALE is the epitome of a Screen Goddess known for being one of the most sensual women to have captivated audiences in Italy, the US and around the globe. With Italy being a Dream Destination of mine, the very alluring and classy LIDIA just made my decision that much easier. I would be gushing if I got the chance to meet LIDIA who is an absolute Bella. Back in 2009 in the romantic thriller “La Doppia Ora” aka The Double Hour, she played one of the lovers of a man who resorts to speed dating to find sexual partners. She did flaunt her luscious body in a rather steamy scene with the lead actor and showed the world her enigmatic comeliness even though it was a supporting role. It’s significant in this day how effortless LIDIA can project such a tempting facade and in the US, she is fondly remembered for her one woman show “Solo Anna”, a characterization of the legendary actress Anna Magnani. She proved to be a creative force on stage, bringing lots of fun, humor and a touching performance. If you’ve watched her reels (above), she’s replicated all that whenever she takes to the screen, every bit the professional taking our breaths away!

Enough reason then to visit the LIDIA VITALE OFFICIAL SITE and lead any reader on his or her way to appreciating this wonderful Roman Leading Lady. She does have the best of two worlds, able to shuttle between English and Italian-speaking roles, her attractiveness very much stems from her sincerity in the features she’s done over the years. Soon you may find LIDIA joining the likes of Loren and Bellucci, distinguished European talents with the undeniable Sex Appeal.

Rising Starlet: Lindsay Burdge

LINDSAY BURDGE is going to be one of the most-sought after actresses in 2013 and she represents the spirit of why we are so infatuated with screen sirens. Buzz has descended on this indie hottie thanks to her potently striking performance in “A Teacher” which is making waves at this year’s Sundance Film Fest. You’ll be Hot For Teacher when you watch LINDSAY portray masterfully the dark depths of obsession as a Texas high-school educator who starts an affair with her student. It’s a challenging role of which is a no-no in certain circles but her performance has already seen her being commended as a Sundance Sensation! Since this is an obsession blog of sorts, it’s fitting that LINDSAY is sizzling this feature. I find myself honored to be able to throw the spotlight on an ingénue who is currently the toast in the town of UTAH. She is on the Verge List which recognizes exceptional talents and includes perennial Indie Queens Ambyr Childers and Amy Seimetz.

Besides “A Teacher”, LINDSAY was in another gem called “First Winter” a thought-provoking feature of a commune dealing with the onset of winter. Admittedly, resonating with audiences are her tangible performances that sometimes borders on the controversial and she’s proving to be a memorably compelling face. LINDSAY would be turning into quite the crush for fans I’m sure and that’s healthy considering she’s so genial. Sundance is hailing her name and soon the world will follow suit in idolizing Miss LINDSAY BURDGE.

Sexy Cutie: Ginifer King

While audiences around the world are attuning themselves with the foxy starlet GINIFER KING, she’s already a memorable face on US television. Best known for portraying a mentally unstable attorney on “Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior”, she dons a blonde wig for a large chunk of the episode ‘Lonely Hearts’ as serial killer Rachel Lancroft. It’s actually now showing on Asian cable channels and you’ll be riveted by the disturbing psychological content. In the first few minutes, there’s a hot seduction scene culminating in a murderous rage as GINIFER went knee deep into this most tormented of personas. We all know villains get under our skins and GINIFER delivers a memorable depiction of one’s uncontrollable urges to kill. It’s also nice to hear from her how Forest Whitaker and Janeane Garofalo were gracious on set, reflecting well on the people who make the industry tick. While GINIFER has truly hypnotizing eyes, her sweet nature will persuade us to acknowledge her pleasing congeniality.

GINIFER’s belief system is such she never stops learning and a while back had this to say “Just because I’m acting all the time doesn’t mean I’ve made it.” She’s looking well ahead of the horizon and this month of January, we’ll be treated to her enticing Cabaret routines in the entertaining LA show For the Record: Baz Luhrmann. She has played Satine (the role Nicole Kidman so famously performed) in the “Moulin Rouge” portion of the show and the videos on youtube of her singing in a sheer red camisole does arouse the senses. With her illuminating both on stage and screen, we’ll be fondly anticipating GINIFER to sparkle.

Screen Legend: Sean Young

She may be shy but there’s no doubt SEAN YOUNG laid the foundation over the years to be an enduring newsmaker. With her eyes on eccentric roles, 2012 could be the year she mounts her big comeback. Billed as one of the stars of “Gingerclown 3D” as the voice of Spiderwoman in this Rocky Horror Show (Tim Curry’s in this!) of monsters hiding at an old amusement park, SEAN has license to make us shriek! With this first week of 2012 being a spectacular one in terms of views on the Actress Obsession Blog, I pay tribute to SEAN YOUNG who can certainly get everyone talking. Zealously forthcoming having gushed recently how she tends to forget that people view her as an allegedly crazy unemployable bitch, she does speak her mind although recently she’s mellowed from her tough cookie stance of days past. Her appearance on David Letterman serves as a reminder of how much of a misunderstood talent she is…kudos to her for striving to be successful in an increasingly ageist industry such as Hollywood. After all, her sultriness has never gone away and we should all hail SEAN’s contribution to 2 of the most influential cinematic gems, “No Way Out” and “Blade Runner”. We’re still fond of her exquisitely fun profile, magical yet with hints of vulnerability and an unhinged sexiness.

Yeah she does get criticisms for her sometimes batty behavior but aren’t these the very idiosyncrasies which make her stand out from the norm! Her devotees are unanimous in their support for her and let’s offer SEAN the olive branch to rekindle the glory days. As an actress enthusiast, she definitely has me in her conner and hearing about her upcoming role in “Attack of the 50ft Cheerleader” is a harbinger of a rapturous return to form. As an actress who has seen plenty of ups and downs in 32 years of showbiz, SEAN’s longevity is to be applauded and there’ll be many who continue to have a soft spot for this enchanting lady.

Sizzling Cutie: Abby Miller

Every day is a joy in itself when one gets to spotlight a screen honey and ABBY MILLER has the requisite demureness to awaken sentiments of ardor. With her being a Nebraska native, she’s the very first from the famed Cornhusker State to grace the Actress Obsession Blog and she’s a fetching gal indeed. Her invitingly large, brown eyes which wouldn’t be out of place in a Manga comic if ever her likeness is drawn, affirms her eye-catching accessibility. Evidently on TV ABBY shone as meth-addicted prostitute cum snitch Ellen May in Season 2 of “Justified”. Check out the memorable scene of her (above) in a wasted stupor trying her darnedest to seduce Timothy Olyphant’s straight laced U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens. By going against the grain for this gritty, disaffected part, ABBY shows she doesn’t just rely on her cutesy appeal. In fact, she even walked the fine line between sympathy and comedy in the episode “The Rejected” of “Mad Men”. Yet again, she excelled as the naive secretary Dorothy who suffers a double blow; Rejection by her boyfriend and being brought to tears at a market focus group. You can watch ABBY in that scene at the ABBY MILLER OFFICIAL SITE plus many more clips of her in fine fettle.

She’s also prolific in the commercials arena, appearing in ads for McDonald’s, Target, Dunkin’ Donuts, Domino’s and American Express. Then there’s her as fascinating vocalist of the folk-pop combo, Jen & Abby; The voice of hers soaring blissfully over the acoustic richness of the bluesy tone echoed in the melodies which have even been featured on the hit show “Gilmore Girls”! Often labeled as having a kittenish virtue and having once remarked once that her attractive eyes are money-makers, we have to agree she’s a real crowd pleaser. I’ve always placed a high premium on sweetness and so should everyone in welcoming upcoming starlet ABBY MILLER.

Screen Siren: Natalija Nogulich

http://vimeo.com/17417654

Noted for her personable disposition and gregarious allure thanks to her Serbian heritage, film doyenne NATALIJA NOGULICH has and will always hold our captive attention. AFI Film Fest entry “I Melt With You” might have its testosterone-laden, steeped in darkness tomfoolery by way of leading man from “Hung” Thomas Jane and “Entourage” star Jeremy Piven but it’s female cast is just as colorful. NATALIJA appears in this hallucinogenic tale of excess (could this be the heavier, gloomier answer to “The Hangover”) alongside the ravishing Melora Hardin and porn star turned legitimate actress Sasha Grey. Over the years AFI’s mission has been one of presenting the best films out there irregardless of their stature and I’m following their lead in featuring actresses who deserve their share of recognition. Having lit up Broadway, television and film (she played Jack Nicholson’s wife in “Hoffa”), NATALIJA continues to churn out outstanding examples of character work that cuts across different genres. Her recent guest spot as fortune teller Vadoma on Betty White’s “Hot In Cleveland” is testament to her knack for consistently keeping things interesting every time she graces a role.

The NATALIJA NOGULICH OFFICIAL SITE is where one can keep up with her latest projects. Sci-Fi fans and Trekkies in particular cherish her as the tough cookie Admiral Nechayev in “Star Trek-The Next Generation”; she excellently added an intricacy to what is essentially a personality of someone that’s straight-up and regimental. On MTV’s comedy series “The Hard Times Of RJ Berger” shone in a fun, eccentric manner perfecting the idiosyncrasy of play director Mrs. Bender to such enjoyable heights. Proving what a creative masterclass she is, NATALIJA is also an accomplished screen writer, novelist and director, thus growing ever more absorbing by the day.
