Eva Mendes is a young, attractive Hispanic woman and the new face of Calvin Klein and Revlon. Considered one of the sexiest actresses in Hollywood, her risqué poses have earned her mother’s disapproval on more than one occasion.

Gael García Bernal, a 30-year-old actor from Guadalajara, Mexico whose rise to stardom has made him a citizen of the world, had his big breakthrough with the film Amores Perros and keeps reaching new heights, undeterred by any barriers Hollywood may put in his path. What makes him special is that he goes against the tide and only takes the best projects, or perhaps ones in which his friends are involved. Occasionally, he has the chance to do both, as is the case with Rudo y Cursi, a Mexican film in which García Bernal stars alongside his friend and “brother,” Diego Luna.
Kate Winslet has already received five Oscar nominations and no doubt they will keep coming because she is one of the best actresses of her generation. The secret of this British actress’ success is in the books, as this 33-year-old has portrayed the romantic interest of the Marquis de Sade, the friend of J.M. Barrie and a young Iris Murdoch. She also of course starred in the highest-grossing film of all time, Titanic. Her most recent role was as an illiterate former SS guard in The Reader, a movie based on an award-winning novel by German law professor Bernhard Schlink.
