She starred as Lady Anne Clifford in the series “The Tudors” and this luscious brunette has been dazzling us ever since. There’s something about a lady in those period costumes and MYIA has those blue-eyes to leave you swooning. She has 5 projects in the pipeline including two horrors as well as an indie and is primed to be an action starlet with her training extensively in stunt work. We’ll be hearing a lot more of her this 2012!
Victoria Drake
From drama to comedy as she depicted so wonderfully in “ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction”, she’s the irish-born sweetheart who instinctively can make us smile. Victoria is also active in social media work having created websites for people, set up their you tube presence, blogs, acting websites, LinkedIn, etc as well as assisting them with video marketing and photography. In short, she’s a media sensation we all should give praise…:)
She’s the stunning Irish/Italian beauty whose screen debut was in “The clinic”, an Irish tv show, followed by a recurring role on the tudors. Having moved to Hollywood, her various theater roles have included cabaret singer, gangster’s wife, murderous girl and has even worked on “The Artist”, the film that took the Academy Award for Best Picture. She possesses the glamorous old-world allure that can be pretty addictive for any viewer.
An amazing debut for this Irish-American actress in the amazing drama “White Irish Drinkers” prove how much of a talent she is. It is appropriate we give cheers to Leslie for not only charming us as the vivacious romantic interest Shauna but for partaking in a smokin’ hot sex scene. She made the role her own and displayed why she has a bright future ahead. Her transition from theatre to the big screen has been one of sheer wonder.
To remember singer extraodinaire Amy Winehouse, it is poignantly essential to feature attractive DANA DELORENZO who cites Amy as being a heavy influence on her as an entertainer. DANA is of course the lead vocalist for tribute band HOUSE OF WINEHOUSE who stayed true to the spirit of Amy, the recently deceased artist with the signature beehive do and sultry bluesy vocals. In DANA’s words, Amy enriched her life and those of many others worldwide. By not conforming to the forced machination into a pop idol purported so frequently by the music industry, Amy charted her way to success as a one-of-a-kind performer. She was unique in molding her own image and for all her flaws, I rather remember Amy for indelibly changing the music landscape on her own terms. What DANA and her tribute band are doing is amazing, honoring the life of Amy Winehouse as a stirringly talented musician and DANA can certainly rock it! By the way, DANA is a whiz at Celebrity Impressions delightfully impersonating Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus and even the ditzy Kim Kardashian….she had me tickled pink! Don’t miss the Chelsea Handler and Sarah Silverman caustic war of words skit with Liza Minnelli putting in her hilarious two cents worth in the clip (above). She captured the essence of each one with excellence. HEY! Give this girl her very own comedy sketch show like now!
DANA is also an accomplished stage and indie actress, most recently seen alongside horror icon Robert Englund in “The Mole Man Of Belmont Avenue” which had its share of laughs and scares. Her character Stoner Molly involved being dressed as a creepy clown and looking all psycho! Adept at different incarnations onscreen as well as multiple accents, this beauty with the Italian heritage has played everything from a Latina sidekick to a scandalous stripper. She’s born to perform and while DANA is known for being strikingly remarkable in her posh, often cussing Amy Winehouse impersonation, she stands on her own merit as a dramatic actress.
Melantha Blackthorne in “Prison Of The Pyschotic Damned”
As Scream gets a reboot this week in its fourth incarnation, what better than to highlight talented ladies who epitomize the fine art of being a Scream Queen. First off is Melantha Blackthorne, the voluptuous doyenne of all things dark! Independent cinema’s Sex Kitten is all about keeping the audience utterly riveted as Melantha sets out to do in her new films “Aversion” and “Fable“. Bustylicious and Bold, her sharp sometimes twisted wit and thrill factor ensures she’s one enigmatic leading lady of horror.
Even though she was slightly apprehensive at first, Felissa was born to do horror and after gaining prominence with “Sleepaway Camp”, she’s become quite the cult figure. 2011 is looking to be the Year Of Felissa Rose with starring roles in “Breath Of Hate“, the sadistic thriller “The Perfect House” and even “Sleepaway Camp Reunion”, Part 3 of the campy horror classic, returning as psycho bitch Angela Baker! In character, her ability to essay multiple personalities with ease makes her top-quality performer.
A Firm Favorite of fans around the world, Debbie Rochon continues to bewitch till this day and there’s no sign of that subsiding ever! It’s astounding to see her gracing numerous Films, Magazine Covers and of course those indelible Scream Queen Lists. I’m sure many are in awe of her presence and how valuable her contributions to horror have been. Debbie deserves to be idolized as it takes a very special woman to be cited as an influential indie horror icon by filmmakers, actresses and admirers.
Seri De Young is a terrific screamer as she asserted so potently in the gripping slasher “Laid To Rest”. It’s unfortunate that she’s not returning in the sequel “Chromeskull” but nonetheless, the attractive blonde is a serious head turner. Cute as a button with an unflappable appeal, falling for her would be as easy as 1-2-3. The independent scene has its share of starlets who are more than capable of entertaining viewers and Seri is most assuredly heading in the right direction.
Sarah Brendecke & Michelle Tomlinson in “Brain Dead”
Two of the most tempting ladies headlining one grossly violent Zombie flick is a match made in heaven! Revel in the performances of Sarah Brendecke and Michelle Tomlinson who captivate throughout the jaw-dropping “Brain Dead”. Sarah is a Sex Symbol whose versatility has seen her delight on film as well as keeping us enthused over her pics as a MAXIM Magazine Siren. Michelle not only excels as a Terror Hottie, she’s wonderfully adapt at playing diverse characters, adding her own fascinating twist.
Scout Taylor Compton in “Halloween/Halloween 2″ and Kristina Klebe in “Halloween”
Since taking over the mantle of Jamie Lee Curtis in the updated Halloween franchise, Scout Taylor-Compton has become the ‘IT’ Girl in the Horror Stakes. Together with Danielle Harris, the duo have so capably symbolize the strong yet emotionally fractured version of the eponymous Final Girl! Kristina Klebe as you know caught the eye in “Halloween” as the promiscuous Lynda. As sumptuous as Kristina is, her charming traits have such a hold on you that ensures she’s due a huge following.
First off I would like to pray for the victims of the Sendai Tsunami that has devastated the Japanese people and left a telling reminder of how life can never be taken for granted. Hence, I feel wholly blessed to be alive and have the golden opportunity to write about my greatest passion, global actresses whom i admire so. Therefore this tribute today goes out to rising starlet KYOKO OKAZAKI, her family who are safe back home in Japan and all Japanese citizens who are deeply affected by the sudden tragedy. As you know I’m all about optimism and just like me KYOKO is full of positivity. Born and raised in Okayama, she uprooted to the US and became noted for playing a tomboy who dresses in male clothing to avoid detection from the Yakuza in the Los Angeles play Utsutsu. Found out that ‘Utsutsu’ means reality and thus we can’t change who we are, as I think is being implied by the theatrical production. After being praised for her acting on stage, KYOKO has segued excellently into the independent scene with roles in a number of films.
With her splendidly infectious smile, KYOKO’s natural poise is pronouncedly easy to adore. Be sure to check her out in the upbeat dramedy “Mouse Ward” as well as the upcoming short “The Curse Of The Apple” as its leading lady. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw her on the cast list for serial killer thriller “Luster” and I’m crossing my fingers she survives till the end of the movie! I’m very fond of bubbly young actresses and there’s plenty of cheer in the corner of Miss KYOKO OKAZAKI. She’s so affable as I’ve found out chatting with her on FACEBOOK; Her likability certainly puts her in good stead to be a breakout star…Start Watching Her!
One is a fabulous entertainer with an artistic edge; The other is a rising starlet who has appeared in two popular teen flicks and together they are the lusciously swoon-worthy JULIE and LIBBY MINTZ. I decided to feature the lovely MINTZ sisters today as i was amazed by the bond they share especially during these festive period of celebration and remembrance for the year. The closeness they have for each other can be seen in the tribute song JULIE composed for her sister Libby (above), ever so touching and poignant.
Here’s the skinny on JULIE MINTZ: There’s a whole lot of country in this hottie and you can hear the influences in her folk/acoustic musical style; I affirm her voice is amazing and has been contributing songs in the films and TV Shows she’s appeared in. Currently on the hit web series called ‘OUT TO LUNCH’ together with fellow performer Kathrin Smirke, she’s fashioning herself into quite the digital vixen. Enjoy watching the pair tackle a number of thorny situations; Don’t miss the “Pink Toilet Paper” episode (above) as it’s hilarious and an eye-opening look into what happens when desperation gets the best of us! JULIE projects a serenity that’s fetching and her warmth makes it such a pleasure to follow her on screen work.
Here’s the skinny on LIBBY MINTZ: She may have played the sorority sister minion who does the dirty work in the Amanda Bynes comedy ‘SYDNEY WHITE’ but I’m pretty sure LIBBY is a sweetheart all the way. Her girl next door features quickly draws you in but this girl has a lot of sass and sexiness as she showed in the riotously raunchy ‘Fired Up!’. Just like her sister JULIE has sung her praises in the tune “The Prettiest Face I’ve Ever Seen”, we wouldn’t hesitate to also do the same in expressing our approval. LIBBY has a small role in Sofia Coppola’s ‘SOMEWHERE’, a dramedy about the privileged in Hollywood with some of the most desirable actresses on show. She’s one photogenic cutie we could easily pine for…:)
If you believe in being touched by an Angel on earth, then actress Johanna Goldsmith represents the purest form. A blonde goddess and Texas Hottie, JOHANNA won me over with her endless charms and massive outpouring of kindness; a most treasured friend indeed…:) I’m truly honored to be her fan and now having her as my adopted “Sister” from the US is glorious. Truly an extraodinary woman, JOHANNA gave me a taste of Hollywood via Nicole Kidman no less…something I’ve dreamed about for years. Goodness breeds success and she’s been rewarded with her role alongside Nicole Kidman in an upcoming feature. Aren’t they a gorgeous pair in the photo (above)….I’m elated to have the special autographs from both exquisite performers. My collection of Johanna Goldsmith autographs is now a highly prized possession…..I also own a Friday Night Lights cast photo, a Predators Premiere pic with Johanna next to starlet Elis Avellan and of course several shots of Johanna in a bikini…hehe.
2011 will finally be the year I get to meet lovely JOHANNA in person at the mega event SXSW Festival and for me it will be a life-changing experience. She’s invited me to numerous film premieres and gracing one in my lifetime would be hugely prestigious. JOHANNA is definitely the GOLD standard and I’m eagerly waiting for her to spice it up in ‘JON’, the indie tale of lust and murder….the Guru of Troma Lloyd Kaufman is in it! She’s also a scene stealer in comedies ‘JEFFREY ANDERSON ZOMBIE HUNTER’ and ‘SMALL TIMERS’ coming your way real soon. When Texas is recognized as having the hottest women in the world, it’s more than just a legitimate compliment; it is a testament to how beautiful these Lone Star State beauties are on the inside as well as the outside…:) A Big Thank You To Johanna…you are the shining light of my life.
