Unfortunately my computer at home has crashed....only 2 ½ years old and I spent a pretty penny on it through Alienware. I won't be getting a new computer for about a month so my countdown of favorite actors may suffer a bit. Anyhow I have decided to add an actress that I just haven't seen much work from lately but love her work non-the-less. Her work covers anything you can think of from a superhero to a hottie in a music video.

Alicia Silverstone -

Alicia Silverstone was born on October 4, 1976 in San Francisco California. She is the youngest of three children and began modeling at the age of six. She starred in various television commercials and was eventually cast as Jessica the "dream girl" on an episode of The Wonder Years.

The first leading role she landed was for the movie The Crush {1993} in which she played a very young teenaged girl who harasses an older man that spurned her advances. She won two 1994 MTV Movie awards for that performance including Best Breakthrough Performance and Best Villain.

She was then cast for three Aerosmith music videos "Cryin", "Amazing", and "Crazy" that were really successful in promoting her career at that time. It eventually lead her to her next role in the movie Clueless {1995}. She was really busy this year also starring in the movies The Babysitter, Hideaway, and New World.

Her next big role was starring as the ever popular Batgirl in the movie Batman & Robin {1997}. I wasn't a huge fan of this movie but to put it bluntly I hated it and unfortunately the only good thing about it was Silverstone in a latex suit (if that gives you any idea how much I hated the movie).

One of my favorite roles she was in was the movie Blast From The Past {1999} with Brendan Fraser. I thought this movie would lead to bigger and better roles for Alicia but for the next few years she played minor roles in movies and had her own short lived television show called Miss Match {2003}.

In her personal life Alicia is known for her work as an animal welfare and environmental activist. She has even appeared in the nude for PETA advertisements (her ad is still on the PETA website). She supports animals right so far that she even became a vegan. If you would like to learn more about this actress check out her personal profiles on http://www.tv.com/ and http://www.imdb.com/.
