Lena Olin

Lena Olin has become a part of the film industry for more than four decades, carving out memorable roles in films like Chocolat, The Reader, and Queen of the Damned. With piercing cheekbones and exotic features, it’s unsurprising that the stunning Olin began her career as a model before pursuing a career in acting. Indeed, she was crowned Miss Scandinavia in 1974, when she was only 19 years old.

Tricia Helfer is known for starring as Number Six on Battlestar Galactica. Throughout her career, the actress has portrayed tough-as-nails women in shows such as Lucifer, Killer Women, and Van Helsing. In 2014, she told HuffPost, “Part of the reason I’m drawn to strong roles is that they’re what people hire me for.” You know, I’m tall, and my voice is stronger and deeper than a girly voice.”
