93. Ellen Page - Juno jailbait


"I don’t really want to do the Hollywood thing. I think you ought to try to say something with your movies."
 
Pregnancy became weirdly funny and attractive the moment Ellen agreed to the lead in Juno. But the BAFTA- nominated actress also has all-action ability in her locker, notably as Kitty Pryde in X Men: The Last Stand.

She was only 18 when she took on the X Men role. By the age of 21, she had become one of the youngest Oscar nominees ever, had her sexuality questioned by Hollywood’s lesbian brigade and bagged herself a guest appearance in em>The Simpsons, playing a teen pop singer named Alaska Nebraska who befriends Lisa.

Not bad for a tomboy who, as a kid, enjoyed playing with action figures and climbing trees. And not shaving her legs. Maybe.
