Maggie Gyllenhaal Born: November 16, 1977
Known for: Getting naked in Secretary, being Bruce Wayne's lover in The Dark Knight and making cupcakes.
The great Internet debate of the post-Dark Knight era rages on: is Maggie Gyllenhaal hot all-in-all (Hollywood Hot), despite it all (Hipster Hot) or not at all? Perhaps it's all relative: next to sorta-lumpy Will Ferrell (Stranger Than Fiction), bedecked in flour-dusted overalls and bearing trays of cookies, she's the sexy little free-spirited indie-baker lady who charms us one macaroon and Spoon song at a time; next to granite-hewn chunks of man-fection Christian Bale and Aaron Eckhart, bedecked in slate-gray business skirts, she seems slight and wan. But given her mostly unimpeachable, left-field film career, devilishly cherubic grin, tendency to go nude onscreen, and Member-of-the-Tribe bona fides (through her mother, screenwriter Naomi Foner), we're squarely in the Gyllenhot camp. And frankly, she could look like Danny DeVito and still be an improvement over Katie Holmes.
