Make-believe isn’t just for children. Even sophisticated grown-ups need to escape to a stress-free fantasy life. And that’s where these three gorgeous girls come into the picture.
Rachel Weisz is the sweet mom next door who just happens to have an Oscar on her mantle, for her poignant role in The Constant Gardener. This month the British beauty stars as Vince Vaughn’s love interest in Fred Claus, a must-see holiday movie about Santa’s bitter older brother. Fairy tales did come true for Natalie Portman when she was discovered by an agent in a pizza parlor. Catapulted into superstardom, the pint-size actress didn’t allow fame to go to her head. The clever cutie is a Harvard grad who avoids the limelight. Best known for her role as Queen Amidala in the Star Wars trilogy, she stars in Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, a vibrant, fantasy-infused film about a toy store with a life of its own. After several quirky sidekick roles (TalladegaNights, Underdog, Junebug), the adorable Amy Adams gets to wear a tiara as a cartoon princess who comes to life in this month’s Enchanted, opposite a very princely Patrick Dempsey.
