During the ’80s and ’90s, Michelle Pfeiffer was one of the most popular actresses on the silver screen, thanks to her skilled acting and drop-dead gorgeous looks. She managed to break the typecast of the pretty girl in her late ’70s movies, going on to have a supporting role in Scarface that led to obtaining more serious roles as she rose to stardom. According to one Daily Telegraph contributor, hers is “the kind of beauty you find yourself involuntarily taking a moment to marvel at mid-conversation.”

Elizabeth Hurley first became known in the public eye for dating Hugh Grant, who saw significant success with the 1994 film Four Weddings and a Funeral. At the film’s premiere, she wore an iconic black Versace dress that was held together by golden safety pins. This has been credited with helping Versace become a household name, as well as launching Hurley to stardom. The next year, 1995, and with no prior modeling experience, she became the spokesmodel for Estée Lauder. In acting, she is best known for roles in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery and Bedazzled.

Italian-Tunisian Claudia Cardinale’s career began when she won the “Most Beautiful Italian Girl in Tunisia” contest, which earned her a trip to Italy. Although she struggled with Italian (as the Sicilian she knew from her parents is quite different), her beauty brought her offers to model and act. Her voice was actually dubbed over in the early part of her career due to her raspy tone and a French accent. She is an outspoken supporter of women’s rights, becoming a UNESCO goodwill ambassador for the defense of women in 2000.

Sadly, Sharon Tate’s life will always be overshadowed by her disturbing, tragic, and senseless death. Long before Quentin Tarantino reimagined how history could have been different in Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, the beautiful Tate started to act in movies. She was hailed as a promising newcomer, having enjoyed positive reviews for both comedic and dramatic acting roles. She married her director and co-star from The Fearless Vampire Killers, Roman Polanski, in 1968. She was eight months pregnant with their child when she was taken from this world.

Smith is a successful actress and businesswoman who is best known for starting her career off as the stunning Kelly Garrett in the television version of Charlie’s Angels. The show leaped her and the other Angels into stardom and she then returned for the same role in 2003 in the film Charlie’s Angels: Full throttle. Smith went on to appear in many other TV films and mini-series’s for the rest of her career. Her beauty did not go unknown as she was married four times.

Basinger made a career for herself as a successful model in the 1970s and moved to Los Angeles where she took a turn at acting. She starred in several films made-for-television, but her debut came in the drama Hard Country. After her performance in Never Say Never Again as a Bond girl, Basinger became a poster girl and continued into the 1990s. Since then she went on to appear in many more films and still is acting to this day.

With her unique looks, Audrey Hepburn was launched to stardom after starring in Roman Holiday opposite Gregory Peck, a role which garnered her an Academy Award, a BAFTA, and a Golden Globe for Best Actress. Later in life, she concentrated on philanthropy, and she was honored for her humanitarian work both during and after her life. She succumbed to a rare form of abdominal cancer in 1993. Proof of her lasting legacy is evident in her appearances in popular culture throughout the decades since her death.

Born in England to American parents, Elizabeth Taylor moved with her family to California shortly before World War II broke out. Even as a young girl, her striking beauty was apparent enough that her mother was constantly told that Elizabeth should star in movies. A genetic mutation caused her to have two rows of eyebrows, which framed her eyes in a unique way. She became a child star, later blossoming into one of Hollywood’s most desired actresses. She went on to star in many movies and later in life became an advocate for Jewish causes and promoted AIDS awareness.

Charlize Theron grew up on a farm in South Africa before she ended up making her way to the silver screen. She was originally an aspiring ballet dancer, but the effects of the training on her body took their toll. Meanwhile, her beauty made her constantly alluring to modeling scouts. Later she branched off to acting and hasn’t looked back since. Not just a pretty face, the actress won an Academy Award for Best Actress for portraying serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster.

Tyra Banks is a well-known American model and a television personality. In 1990, she started her modeling career with Elite Model Management, one of the most famous agencies in the world. She also appeared on the cover of Vogue magazine in Spain, being named the new Naomi Campbell – and it is easy to see why! She also appeared in GQ magazine and in the catalog of Victoria’s Secret. One of her greatest accomplishments on the public scene was her experience on America’s Next Top Model, where she was both a host and executive producer.

No list would be complete without Marilyn Monroe, one of the most recognizable celebrities in the world. “Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring,” she said, and she lived by those words.

French actress Catherine Deneuve had her international breakthrough with Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, a unique French film in which all the dialogue is sung, like in an opera. After this, she played in Roman Polanski’s Repulsion, which brought her more widespread fame. Since then, she has accumulated an impressive corpus of roles. France honored her in 1985 by making her the official face of Marianne, the French personification of liberty. Most recently she signed an open letter denouncing the #MeToo movement, claiming it has become a witch hunt.

Aishwarya Rai has topped the “most beautiful woman in the world” lists for years, so her spot here should come as no surprise. She began modeling when she was in college, winning the title of Miss World in 1994. She moved on to act in Bollywood movies later that decade. Her performances are marked by a “delicately sensual presence and physical grace,” according to Derek Elley of Variety. Although she is constantly under the attention of the media, she has kept her personal life mostly private.

Ursula Andress’ claim to fame is for being the original Bond girl, starring alongside Sean Connery in Dr. No in 1962. Although her voice was dubbed over to mask her Swiss-German accent, she quickly rose to stardom for this role, which is one of the most iconic introductions of a female lead in film history. After she appeared in Playboy magazine several years later, she was asked why she agreed to have her naked pictures published. She answered simply, “Because I’m beautiful.”

Swedish-American Ann-Margret Olsson is not only one of the most beautiful celebrities of the ’60s and ’70s, but also a multi-talented performer. She had her breakout acting role in Bye Bye Birdie while she was already a successful recording artist. Other roles include the Who’s Tommy, in which she played Tommy’s mother. She played recurring characters in Law and Order: SVU and Ray Donovan. Five decades after entering the public eye, her talent and beauty are still making their mark on the entertainment industry.

Jayne Kennedy was born Jayne Harrison in 1951, and she is an American model, actress, and sportscaster. In 1970, she was crowned Miss Ohio, the first African-American woman to win the title. In the same year, she met her husband, Leon Isaac Kennedy. The two got married soon after meeting. She had numerous TV appearances, having a role even in The NFL Today. In the 1980s, she began producing exercise videos. In 1982, she divorced Kennedy and, in 1985, Jayne married Bill Overton, with whom she had three daughters, who are all as beautiful as she is.

While many praise the late Burt Reynolds for the success of Smokey and the Bandit, it’s important not to sleep on Sally Field’s performance too. The actress, who was at one point romantically linked to her co-star, went on to star in a number of great movies. These included the likes of Steel Magnolias, Mrs. Doubtfire and Forrest Gump, to name a few. She recently played Aunt May in The Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2 and was also nominated for Best Actress for her role in Lincoln.

Like many on this list, Vivien Leigh said that she had to overcome her physical beauty because it overshadowed her acting prowess. Indeed, one director described her as a “consummate actress, hampered by beauty.” Although she is most famous for roles in Gone with the Wind and A Streetcar Named Desire, she was actually more prolific onstage during her career. She suffered from bouts of tuberculosis for the last several decades of her life, finally succumbing to the illness when it recurred in 1967.

Ava Gardner’s southern accent (she hailed from South Carolina) made her almost incomprehensible to MGM. That didn’t stop her from banking on her beauty and they quickly signed her. It took five years for her to achieve a breakthrough with the film noir The Killers, which launched her to stardom. She was a leading Hollywood actress for five decades until the mid-’80s when her life-long smoking habit caught up with her. She developed emphysema and two strokes in 1986 left her paralyzed. She passed away from pneumonia in 1990.

Barbara Eden is best known for starring in the popular ’60s sitcom I Dream of Jeannie, but many don’t know that originally the show’s creators wanted a brunette. This was because they wanted a departure from Bewitched, also a fantasy sitcom with a blonde lead. Barbara Eden was so funny, beautiful, and fit the role so perfectly that the show’s creators overlooked this minor detail. And it’s good that they did! Barbara has been a TV star ever since.

Known for her seductive looks and distinctive voice, this American actress was named the 20th greatest female star of classic Hollywood cinema and later in life received an honorary Academy Award “in recognition of her central place in the Golden Age of motion pictures.” Despite her outstanding acting career, she began as a model and appeared on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar, and even magazines such as Vogue. Her beauty was recognized for her “cat-like grace, tawny blonde hair, and blue-green eyes”.

At the age of 16, Canadian-born Parkins moved to Los Angeles to become famous. The young girl started as a backup singer and dancer behind major stars in nightclubs. By 1961 she made her debut in the low-budget crime flick 20,000 Eyes. However, one of her larger projects was appearing in the film adaptation of Valley of the Dolls. She stayed with the series for the entire run and was nominated in 1966 for an Emmy Award as Best Actress in a Lead Role.

Julie began working as a model from the age of 15. She came second in the Miss Norway competition at the age of 18 and later competed for the title of Miss Universe before moving to England to work as an au pair in order to improve her English. By the late 1960s, she began acting in a few small roles but is best remembered for her part in the 1971 comedy film Up Pompeii. Although labeled as a glamour actress, she later revealed she did not mind as her looks helped pay the bills.

Sophia Loren is known for her acting work and is one of Italy’s most beloved and adored stars. She started her career as a 14-year-old and is still making films to this day. She has appeared in dozens of movies including The Pride and the Passion, A Countess From Hong Kong, and Grumpier Old Men. But there is something even more telling about this beauty, she was never shy about showing the world she doesn’t shave her armpits. We hate to admit it, but it still does not take away from her beauty.

Vanessa Williams made a surprising appearance to the beauty world, being named Miss America in 1984. But due to some personal problems, she had to give up the title. Although it was thought that she would disappear from the public scene, in 1986, she began her career in the film industry. Her most popular role was in Ugly Betty, for which she received nominations and even a SAG award, an Emmy, and a Golden Globe award. She also performed in the music world, receiving numerous Grammy nominations for albums such as The Right Stuff and The Sweetest Days.

Although the English actress had a successful career in British and French cinema, she attained her international fame from her decade-long relationship with Serge Gainsbourg. Even after their separation, Birkin continued to remain successful working as an actress and singer in various independent films such as Red Fox and A Soldier’s Daughter Never Cries. Nevertheless, Birkin is most well known for having a Hermés bag named after her after revealing that she couldn’t find a leather weekend bag she liked.

The Swedish actress and singer appeared in many films throughout the 1960s and 1970s, and is most known for her roles in The Night They Raided Minsky’s and Get Carter. She also appeared as a Bond girl in The Man With the Golden Gun (1974). Ekland received most of her attention overnight as a result of her 1964 romance with actor Peter Sellers, who proposed to her after seeing her photograph in the paper. Throughout the 1970s she was one of the most talked-about and photographed celebrities in the world.

Loretta Young had a long and interesting career starting as a child as young as two or three in 1917 all the way until 1953. She was nominated for an Oscar for her role in Come to the Stable and an Academy Award for Best Actress for her part in the 1947 film The Farmer’s Daughter. Young was married to actor Grant Withers from 1930 to 1931 but had a public affair with co-star Spencer Tracy. As young as eight the child actress began smoking, yet quit in the mid-1980s in order to gain 10 pounds.

Grace Kelly only worked in Hollywood for some five years before she married Monaco’s Prince Ranier III, yet her elegance solidified her stardom as one of the greatest Hollywood personas of her age. Kelly would never act again after becoming a princess of Monaco, but this freed her up to concentrate on philanthropy and promoting the arts. Sadly, she passed away in a car accident that was caused by a stroke she suffered while driving her daughter. Her daughter luckily survived the crash. She is remembered for her class and elegance, both on and off the screen.

She might not be the most obvious choice on this list, but there is no denying that Julie Andrews has aged so gracefully and is still extremely active in the public eye, well into her 80s. Not many Hollywood stars have had roles in two iconic movies the way that she has. As Mary Poppins, Julie Andrews did an incredible job making that role her own and of course, her work in The Sound of Music can not be ignored.

The first black woman to be nominated for Best Actress, Dorothy Dandridge, had a thriving singing, acting, and dancing career over her short life. She was a comedy actress who began her career at a young age, being part of the band, the Dandridge Sisters. She was a singer in several nightclubs, such as Waldorf Astoria’s Empire Room. In 1954, she also received an Oscar nomination. Her most notable appearance was in Porgy and Bess, where she played the role of Bess.

A true powerhouse whenever Oscar season came around, Jane Fonda is still making movies even while in her 80s. The daughter of the legendary Henry Fonda is part of one of the most prolific families in all of Hollywood. Nevertheless, she has still managed to stand out from her relatives for her huge charisma, beautiful looks, and her long filmography. With success in film, TV and even on Broadway, it seems like there’s nothing that Jane Fonda can not do.

Starring in arguably the most iconic movie of all time in The Wizard of Oz, it seems like Judy Garland was a victim of the glitz and glamor that comes with being a Hollywood star. Nominated for Academy Awards for her roles in A Star Is Born and Judgment at Nuremberg, Garland had the world at her feet before meeting her tragic end. With her daughter Liza Minnelli carrying on the torch and Renee Zellweger starring as her in the 2019 biopic, Judy Garland’s legacy has definitely lived on.

Despite refusing to succumb to the pressures of Hollywood publicity, it seemed like fans and co-stars alike couldn’t keep their eyes off Katharine Hepburn. With that said, she did have a well-publicized marriage to fellow actor Spencer Tracy, in which she also starred alongside him in nine movies. And that’s just scratching the surface of her relationships. With a record four Academy Award nominations for Lead Acting Performance, it is clear that she was one of the greatest actresses of all time.

It seems like Jessica Lange has had two lives in the world of acting. Having made a name for herself with Academy Award nominations in six different movies during the 80s/early 90s, Lange seemed to slow things down a little and become a lot more selective with her work. However, in the last decade, the actress has seen something of a resurgence, especially since starring in five seasons of American Horror Story. She also starred as Joan Crawford in the miniseries Feud: Bette and Joan.

Many fans of Hollywood’s golden era forget that Greta Garbo wasn’t even from the US. The Swedish actress made a smooth transition to American cinema and in no time at all, she became a huge commercial and critical hit. She ended up being nominated for three Academy Awards for Best Actress. In 1954, she received an Honorary Academy Award for her unforgettable performances on the big screen. At just 35 years of age, Garbo retired from film acting, after starring in 28 movies.

With big movie titles such as Chinatown, Bonnie and Clyne, and The Thomas Crown Affair, it’s amazing to think how much Faye Dunaway has achieved in her star-studded career. The actress, who still isn’t officially retired at 78 years of age, has also had a pretty successful career in theater, having starred in numerous productions. Outside of her professional life, Dunaway has had a string of relationships with the likes of Jerry Schatzberg, Peter Wolf, and Terry O’Neill, to name a few.

It’s surreal to think that Veronica Lake passed away nearly half a century ago. Best known for her femme fatale roles in a variety of movies, Lake enjoyed her biggest run of success during the 1940s. However, after drinking problems and a string of failed relationships, her career started to go on the decline. And ultimately, it was this vice of hers that seemed to be what led to her death in 1973. Her last screen role was in the 1970 low budget horror film Flesh Feast.

Having one high profile celebrity partner is one thing. However, Mia Farrow ended up being in relationships with two of the most famous entertainers of all time! These were, of course, Frank Sinatra and later on, Woody Allen. Make no mistake about it though: Mia Farrow has been a huge star in her own right, and arguably one of the most beautiful actresses of her generation. Her most iconic role is, without a doubt, the title character of 1968’s Rosemary’s Baby.

She might not be the most household name on this list, but there is no denying Gene Tierney’s influences on Hollywood history. Best known for her role in the movie Laura, Tierney went on to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in 1945’s Leave Her to Heaven. Tierney’s last film role came in 1964’s The Pleasure Seekers. In the following decades, she would appear on a handful of TV shows before passing away in 1971.

An inspiration to millions of women across the galaxy, Carrie Fisher did something that had pretty much never been done before in modern cinema. In her role as Princess Leia from 1977’s Star Wars, she helped to subvert the classic “damsel in distress” trope. Instead, she portrayed a young, independent woman, who ended up helping her supposed rescuers, escaping the dreaded Death Star. Most of her career was dominated by her role as Leia, later on in the Disney sequels. She will appear posthumously in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in December 2019.

Kim Novak was originally recruited by Columbia Pictures to be a replacement for the studio’s Rita Hayworth, one of the biggest stars of the 1940s whose popularity had declined in the ’50s, not to mention to compete with 20th Century Fox’s Marylin Monroe. She solidified her place in film history when she starred in Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo. Since the mid-’60s, Novak only sporadically acted until she completely retired in the early ’90s. She had a bought with breast cancer that was announced in 2010. Luckily her treatments were successful and she is still with us.

It’s fair to say that Goldie Hawn’s most successful years were back in the 70s. After winning an Academy Award for her role in Cactus Flower, she starred in numerous hits such as Shampoo and Private Benjamin. Hawn’s kids Kate and Oliver Hudson are successful actors in their own right and she has a long-lasting relationship with Kurt Russell. Make no mistake about it though: Goldie Hawn is still going strong until this very day. In 2017, she starred alongside Amy Schumer in the comedy film Snatched.

Often regarded as the queen of Blaxploitation movies, Pam Grier enjoyed tons of success during the 70s, starring in a variety of movies of the aforementioned genre. These included Coffy, Foxy Brown and The Big Bird Cage, to name a few. And it seems like Quentin Tarantino took her profile to a whole other audience when he cast Grier in the title role of his 1997 homage to Blaxploitation, Jackie Brown. Grier has also worked in TV, having starred in the Showtime series The L Word.

What else can be said about Julia Roberts? One of the greatest actresses of the last 30 years, the now 52-year-old has been a leading lady in Hollywood since her breakthrough role alongside Richard Gere in Pretty Woman. Since then, Roberts has starred in a number of commercial and critical successes such as Erin Brockovich, Runaway Bride, Notting Hill, My Best Freind’s Wedding, and Ocean’s Eleven, to name a few! One of Roberts’ most recent roles was the 2017 hit Wonder.

A dancer from a young age, Brigitte Bardot moved on to acting in the ’50s. She starred in the controversial Robert Vadim film, And God Created Women, which launched her to international fame in 1956. One American critic called her, “undeniably a creation of superlative craftsmanship.” Brigitte Bardot’s entrance onto the world scene during the conservative decade was so palpable that Simone de Beauvoir wrote a feminist essay titled Brigitte Bardot and The Lolita Syndrome. Later in life, she became an animal rights activist and, most controversially, was fined five times for inciting racial hatred.

Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman solidified her place in history by starring alongside Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, but she was acting in Swedish and German movies since the mid-1930s. Her broad international appeal was such that one biographer described her as “arguably the most international star in the history of entertainment.” One of her directors, Anatole Litvak, noted that “through all her troubles she held to the conviction that she had been true to herself and it made her quite a person.” She departed from this world in 1982 after a bout of breast cancer.

Halle Berry became famous after winning the Miss Teen All-American Pageant, at which point she began her career as a model. But she is more than just a pretty face. In 1989, she appeared in Living Dolls and had another sensational appearance in 1994, where she played the role of Sharon Stone in the Flinstone Family. She is the winner of the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Movie, for her performance in Dorothy Dandridge. But her success did not stop there, because in 2002 she won the award for best actress at the Academy Awards for her role in Monster’s Ball.

French actress Sophie Marceau became known as a teenager after she starred in the film La Boum in 1980. For the next 15 years, she starred in many European films before becoming a star in Hollywood for her role in Braveheart. After that, she played in the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough. While she often makes it to the top of “most beautiful” lists, Marceau says she doesn’t really understand why people find her attractive. According to her, “I’ve never really been beautiful. I’m photogenic…” And modest!

Isabella Rossellini is the daughter of another woman on this list, Ingrid Bergman, from her marriage to Italian filmmaker Roberto Rossellini. In addition to her acting, she is known for her modeling work, although she began significantly older than usual in the industry. She eventually landed her a job as the spokesmodel of Lancôme, a job she held for 14 years. She has played in film and TV, including David Lynch’s Blue Velvet. She is also known for her activism, specifically in conservation work.

Russian-American Natalie Wood was in the limelight from the time she was a little girl, playing Maureen O’Hara in Miracle on 34th Street. Wood went on to star in classics such as Rebel Without a Cause and West Side Story. She died in dubious circumstances while on a weekend yacht trip to Santa Catalina Island with Robert Wagner, her husband; Christopher Walken, who co-starred in her latest movie; and the yacht’s captain. She was only 43. The investigation was re-opened in recent years, and Wagner was named a person of interest in February 2018.

Rita Hayworth was a performer from youth, dancing in New York venues before her family moved to California when she was 10. She had many roles in ’30s-era dancing movies before branching out to more serious acting roles in the ’40s. The ’50s were a difficult decade for her, as she was increasingly dogged by personal problems. Meanwhile, younger women rose to prominence as she descended into alcoholism and monetary problems. For decades, she suffered from what was finally understood to be symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, passing away in 1987.

Hedy Lamarr is one of the most fascinating women on this list. She holds a Guinness world record for being the first woman to be filmed doing particular activities, but her claim to fame is much more profound than that. After WWII broke out, she turned her mind to inventing “frequency hopping” to solve a problem of enemy vessels jamming the radio signals submarine use to control torpedos. Although she filed a patent that sat unused for years, it became the basis for many subsequent military inventions, as well as future civilian applications.

English actress Jacqueline Bisset has starred in movies since the 1960s when she played in Hollywood blockbusters such as Bullitt. Gradually she gained recognition for being a serious actress and received more serious roles, like in François Truffaut’s Day for Night. Her 1977 role in The Deep, which featured her only covered on top with a white T-shirt as she submerges from the water, soaking wet, is so iconic that it is credited with popularizing wet T-shirt competitions. Jacqueline Bisset has since played mostly in made-for-TV movies and shows.

This Swedish born actress appeared in many American and European films during her career but was primarily based in Italy where she had a major role in La Dolce Vita. Her beauty was there from an early age and as a teenager, she worked as a fashion model. In 1950 she entered the Miss Malmö competition which led her to the winning the Miss Sweden contest. However, her beauty was much more universal and in 1951 she competed for the Miss Universe title, despite knowing very little English at the time.

Amazingly, Julie Gibson is still alive and kicking at the age of 105. The star has outlived so many of the Golden Era stars, despite being the oldest of them all. She happens to be the last surviving star to have worked alongside the Three Stooges. Having first appeared on shows over 80 years ago, Gibson’s most successful period came in the ’40s and she has certainly etched her name in showbiz lore. What casual fans don’t know is that her birth name is actually Gladys Camille Sorey.

Although not her first role, Raquel Welch became something of a pop culture phenomenon after she played in the 1966 film One Million Years B.C., in which she wore an iconic fur bikini. She later starred in movies such as 1967’s Bedazzled, 1968’s Bandolero! and 1969’s 100 Rifles. She has continued to star in movies throughout the years, notably Legally Blond alongside Reese Witherspoon. In 2001 she received the “Imagen Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award” for positively promoting her Latin heritage.

The two actors met on set when they were filming the movie Sabrina, the Teenage Witch back in 1996, and they had a super passionate fling that ended up being short-lived. After all, they were only teenagers at the time. Nonetheless, their short fling did leave a mark on them both. It might be safe to say that this was Ryan Reynolds’s first relationship with a fellow actress?

It would take a few years before more secrets surfaced surrounding the nature of Melissa Joan Hart’s relationship with Ryan Reynolds. In her 2013 memoir, Melissa Explains It All: Tales from My Abnormally Normal Life, the actress elaborated on her brief romance with Reynolds. “Nobody looked as good with wavy blond locks and a thumb ring as Ryan did,” she wrote. “Though I was madly in love with James, my boyfriend of six months by then, Ryan and I spent plenty of time together.”

Melissa Joan Hart met her current husband, Mark Wilkerson, at a concert for charity where he performed in a band named Course of Nature in Kentucky back in 2002. The two tied the knot in 2003, and they are still married today. They have three kids together, and the whole family lives in Westport, Connecticut. It seems that her life took a successful turn when she met her husband and started a family.

Ryan Reynolds’ first major gig was a TV show called Two Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place back in 2000. It was on that set where he met Traylor Howard. His relationship with Traylor, who was ten years older than him, came to an end after eight months. Having a relationship with an older woman might be tough, even for an experienced guy like Reynolds. Regardless, the couple lasted for almost a year.

Despite things not working out between Ryan Reynolds and Traylor Howard, they still managed to keep things relatively professional while working together on Two Guys and a Girl. They remained co-stars until 2001. However, many have speculated that the lack of romantic storylines between the two of them might have been influenced by the breakdown of their real-life relationship. Of course, their characters end up with other people by the end of the series. But was that the end of their romance?

Traylor Howard is a divorcée, and she might be currently single. She was married to Jarel Portman, whom she married in 2011. Till the present day, she has been married three times and has two children from previous marriages. Traylor gave birth to her daughter in 2006, and her son in 2012. She was also rumored to have dated George Clooney at one point, but we won’t get into that here.

Ryan Reynolds knew how to attract the TV stars in his life. After the break-up with Traylor Howard, he reportedly started dating Kristen Johnston, the actress from 3rd Rock From the Sun, back in 1999. Traylor gave birth to her daughter in 2006, and her son in 2012. She was also rumored to have dated George Clooney at one point, but we won’t get into that here.

While the details surrounding their brief relationship have been cloudy for years, Kristen Johnston recently revealed some more about her time with Ryan Reynolds. She started to open up a little about it during an episode of Watch What Happens Live. In short, she only had good things to say to Andy Cohen about what it was like to date the Deadpool star. “It was so long ago I forgot, but literally, so nice, great guy, lovely,” she said. “Lovely person.”

In recent interviews, the actress confessed that she had a past addiction to alcohol and painkillers – but now she has been sober for more than a decade. She also encourages people who are suffering from addiction to bravely speak out and seek help. The actress dated David Newson in 1996 and Ryan Reynolds in 1999. She has never been married. We wish her all the best and hope she will keep up the good work in supporting people who suffer from addiction.

Rachael Leigh Cook was the nerdy girl in She’s All That until Freddie Prinze Jr. took off her glasses. Apparently, after Ryan Reynolds broke up with Kristen Johnston, he had a brief fling with Rachael Leigh Cook in 2001. Ryan Reynolds is the man when it comes to snagging film and television stars; he never rests. Sadly, his relationship with Rachael didn’t last as long as everyone hoped it would.

Truth be told, both Rachael Leigh Cook and Ryan Reynolds have been coy about the details surrounding their short-lived relationship back in the early 2000s. What we do know is that the two hit it off just before Reynolds had his breakout role in 2002’s Van Wilder. Cook was also hot property in Hollywood at the time, not only for her role in She’s All That. She also starred in the movie Josie and the Pussycats.

Rachael Leigh Cook married actor David Gillies back in 2004. They started dating right after she broke up with Ryan Reynolds back in 2001. They have two children together, a daughter who was born in September 2013, and a son who was born in April 2015. Sadly, the couple announced the end of their marriage in June 2019. The couple respectfully decided to go their separate ways. Currently, the actress is single, and there is no sign of a man in her life.

In 2002, Ryan played the lead role in the movie National Lampoon’s Van Wilder. Opposite him was Tara Reid, who played his love interest – and their chemistry was excellent. We were all quite surprised that these two never officially became a couple, even though they were both single at the time. Rumor has it that they had a short affair behind the scenes. We find this quite easy to believe, especially when we consider how Ryan seems to have a thing for blonde co-stars.

While the rumors of their off-screen relationship were unconfirmed, the chemistry between Tara Reid and Ryan Reynolds on the set of Van Wilder was unquestionable. The fact that their characters hit it off in the movie definitely fueled those rumors at the time. Their shared appearance on TRL also made many curious about the nature of their relationship. Of course, Tara Reid was a sought-after comedy star around the same time as Reynolds due to her role in the American Pie film series.

Since then, Tara has had quite an active love life. In 2010, Tara got engaged to Michael Axtmann, but the two called it off just 3 months later. She then started dating Michael Lillelund late in 2010, and claimed that she married him in August 2011. Strangely, he has denied this. Later in August 2011, Tara said she married Zachary Kehayov, but later said it was not a legal marriage. In 2013, she began dating musician Erez Eisen. They stayed together for around a year. We are not aware of any relationships she’s had since then, as Tara seems to have kept her romantic life off the public radar.

The early 2000’s saw Ryan acting in plenty of rom-coms. One of these was Buying the Cow in 2002. He was cast as a stereotypical womanizer opposite Alyssa Milano, of Charmed fame. In the film, the two connect – and the fireworks were easy to see. This set the gossiping tongues wagging. While they made a cute couple in the movie, they claimed that nothing ever went further than the movie set. We guess we will never know – but it would have been interesting to see what would have happened if they had started officially dating.

There are a couple of reasons why any relationship between Alyssa Milano and Ryan Reynolds around 2002 would have been unlikely. Just a couple of years prior to starring in Buying the Cow, Milano had separated from Cinjun Tate. However, it seemed unlikely that she would have started anything with Reynolds seeing that she was dating Charmed co-star Brian Krause at the time. Moreover, Reynolds was in the early stages of his highest-profile relationship yet. But more on that later…

After starring in Charmed, Alyssa became very popular both on screen and off. She dated her Charmed co-star Brian Krause for two years until 2003. In 2007, she started dating David Bugliari, who proposed a year later. The pair tied the knot in August 2009. The couple have two children and are still happily married as of April 2020.

There was one woman in the wedding game with Ryan Reynolds even before Blake Lively and Scarlett Johansson. That’s right, Alanis Morissette was engaged to Ryan Reynolds from 2004 until 2007. Their relationship lasted for five years total, but they never went down the aisle. However, Reynolds has declared that he feels like they “were married too.” The couple announced their separation in February 2007. That must’ve been a really tough punch for Alanis. After the breakup, she wrote a song about Reynolds in which she grieved over their former relationship and how much he meant to her. The song “Torch” appeared in her album Flavors of Entanglement, and she admits that she wrote the song for him.

Many have wondered why things ended so abruptly between Alanis Morissette and Ryan Reynolds after being engaged for a handful of years. Since then, the Canadian singer has admitted that she blames herself for things going south. “I get angry at myself for staying in relationships way too long,” she told Women’s Health. However, Morisette also suggested that maybe the two didn’t have enough in common, as well as a potential power struggle between the two towards the end of their engagement.

Alanis Morissette married Mario Treadway, aka Souleye, who is an American hip-hop artist and rapper. They wed in a small, private ceremony at their home in Los Angeles in 2010. They have three children together – the oldest was born in December 2010, then another in 2016, and their most recent baby was born in August 2019. It’s safe to say that her life took a positive turn after the sad break-up with Ryan Reynolds. She deserves nothing but happiness with her husband and her kids.

We all know Ryan loves acting in rom-coms and comedic action movies. So when he starred in Foolproof in 2003, we can hardly say we were surprised. What did surprise us was his on-screen chemistry with Kristin Booth. In the film, the two carry out grand heists together – and we couldn’t help noticing what amazing partners they were. Many fans hoped their chemistry would move off screen. Although some sources stated that their friendship was developing into something “more,” nothing was confirmed. This may have been due to his long relationship with Alanis hanging in the balance.

While many fans of Foolproof shipped a relationship between Kristin Booth and Ryan Reynolds, they would be setting themselves up for failure. This was because Reynolds was in the middle of his engagement to Alanis Morissette. While that didn’t exactly end well, there was no chance that Reynolds was going to jump ship that easily with Booth. Of course, Reynolds’s career has gone in a very different direction compared to Booth’s, but this still begs the question: what is she doing now?

After filming Foolproof, Kristin went on to act in a few more films, including At Home By Myself… with You and The Calling, which was her last big-screen film. When it comes to her love life, Kristin has mostly kept mum. But we do know that she married musician and composer Tim Ware in 2006. They reportedly don’t have any children as of April 2020.

While filming Just Friends in 2005, Ryan worked closely with actress Amy Smart. They had great on-screen chemistry, causing viewers to laugh so hard they cried. The film was a huge commercial and critical success and saw Reynolds play the hopeless romantic Chris Brander who, after being apart from his childhood friend for many years, is determined to make her fall for him. Truth be told, Smart was another female co-star that many speculated was having an off-screen romance with Reynolds. But was it true?

Rumors circulated that the two were more than just friends. Both denied the allegations, of course, and we will have to be satisfied with never actually knowing. Once again though, this seemed unlikely seeing that the actor was in the middle of his engagement to Alanis Morissette. It made sense for Smart to star in Just Friends alongside Reynolds, seeing that she had starred in another successful comedy just a few years prior in Road Trip. But what has Amy Smart been doing since then and where is she now in life?

Since then, Amy has gone on to act in many popular movies including The Single Moms Club and Avengers of Justice: Farce Wars. She has also been seen in episodes of Shameless and Justified. Unlike most people with an active career in Hollywood, she has kept her love life a secret – so we are unsure of her current relationship status.

Ryan Reynolds jumped from one serious relationship to another, with Scarlett Johansson this time. The couple did tie the knot, but they’ve kept the marriage very secretive, away from the red carpet and the paparazzi. They were married for two years. Apparently, the main reason for their divorce was the fact that they had to maintain their relationship over a long distance for much of the time – and Scarlett didn’t love this arrangement. After his marriage ended with Scarlett Johansson, Ryan said that he would never marry again.

One of the other factors that led to Scarlett Johansson’s separation from Ryan Reynolds was their rumored competitive streak. Moreover, it is believed that they fought a lot. Since then, Johansson has admitted that her young age during her marriage to Reynolds had a part to play in it not working out. “I mean, the first time I got married I was 23 years old,” she told Elle magazine. “I didn’t really have an understanding of marriage. Maybe I kind of romanticized it, I think, in a way.”

After the marriage ended with Reynolds, the actress started dating French businessman Romain Duriac, from 2014 to 2017. The two had a baby together before they split up – a daughter named Rose Dorothy Dauriac, who was born in 2014 in New York City. Scarlett Johansson started dating Colin Jost in 2017, and they are currently engaged. Looks like Scarlett will be tying the knot again, and hopefully this one will be a keeper.

Back in the day, Reynolds starred in the popular movie Definitely, Maybe alongside Isla Fisher. The romantic comedy had us all laughing and cooing as the two went through their journey of falling in love. Of course, it wasn’t that hard to see the amazing chemistry these two shared on screen. While nothing has ever been confirmed about the two, we can’t help but think they would have made a cute real-life couple.

Isla met Sacha Baron Cohen in 2002 in Australia. They dated for two years before getting engaged in 2004. The two tied the knot in a Jewish ceremony in 2010, and they now have three children. Isla still acts on screen, and has recently been in the series Arrested Development and a few movies including Keeping Up with the Joneses and The Beach Bum.

2011 was the year of love and romance for our guy, Ryan Reynolds. After dealing with the divorce from Scarlett Johansson, he had a few flings before he got together with Blake Lively. One of these was a short fling with the famous actress Sandra Bullock. Sources said that they were acting flirty when they met in Texas in 2011. However, their relationship was presumed to be just a fling, because shortly after Ryan Reynolds connected with Blake Lively.

Sandra Bullock was married to Jesse James from 2005 until 2010. The couple have two kids together. Jesse James was accused of having multiple affairs with different women and checked in into a rehabilitation clinic to deal with “personal issues.” Sources said that they were acting flirty when they met in Texas in 2011. However, their relationship was presumed to be just a fling, because shortly after Ryan Reynolds connected with Blake Lively.

According to People Magazine, Reynolds was seen with the German model Agnes Fischer after his divorce in 2011. Rumors started flying as the two of them were seen together, and many people speculated that they were dating. Sources said that they were acting flirty when they met in Texas in 2011. However, their relationship was presumed to be just a fling, because shortly after Ryan Reynolds connected with Blake Lively.

Besides Ryan Reynolds, we know that Agnes also had a relationship with Shannon Leto back in 2010. Shannon Leto is an American songwriter who’s part of the band Thirty Seconds to Mars. According to various sources on the internet as well as her own Instagram page, Agnes Fischer is not currently involved with any men.

It’s no secret that Ryan Reynolds likes to be surrounded by gorgeous actresses and models. In 2011, he had a fling with actress Charlize Theron – and she was the last woman in Reynolds’ life before he married Blake Lively. According to US Weekly, Ryan and Charlize had different priorities and decided to go their separate ways after dating during the summer months of 2011.

After her brief relationship with Ryan ended, Charlize adopted two children in 2012 and 2015. She has been romantically linked to famous actor Sean Penn, who she became engaged to in 2014. However, they called off their engagement in 2015, just six months later. Since then, Charlize has not been seen with any new love interests, choosing instead to focus on her children and her career. She has been in some big movies recently, including Murder Mystery and The Addams Family.

Blake Lively is an American actress known for her role in the drama Gossip Girl, in which she played the role of Serena van der Woodsen. She met Ryan Reynolds while they were filming Green Lantern, as they were co-stars. At first, they put each other in the friend zone – but pretty soon, their romance started to warm up. Blake is now the lucky wife of Ryan Reynolds, whom she married in 2012. They already have three kids together. They are one of the most endearing couples in Hollywood, and everyone adores them. The family resides in Los Angeles, California.

Ryan Reynolds married Blake Lively on a former slave plantation in South Carolina. Some fans were not too happy after they heard this, but it’s their wedding and they should get to do it however they want, right? This particular plantation also served as the set for the beloved film The Notebook. That might seem romantic, but not so much when you think about the fact that Blake Lively used to date the star of the film, Ryan Gosling. Ironic choice of location, right?

You thought the story ended here, but there’s more. At some point, rumors circulated that Reynolds hooked up with his co-star from Deadpool, Morena Baccarin. Of course, Ryan Reynolds denied the rumors on Twitter, and he and Blake continue to be a happy couple. Unfortunately, being famous and having dated lots of beautiful women in the past tends to attract unwanted attention from the media, as well as unfounded rumors.

After her divorce in September 2015, Morena stated that she was going to marry Ben McKenzie, her Gotham co-star. She was pregnant with their child, a daughter who was born six months later in March 2016. The couple announced that they were engaged late in 2016 and were married on June 2, 2017 – which is also Morena’s birthday. They were wed in New York and are still happily married today.

Monica acted in a Peloton ad called “The Gift That Gives Back” in 2019. It created a lot of controversy after its release on television. In the ad, Monica Ruiz is playing a spouse who gets a stationary bike from her husband as a Christmas gift. After the uproar calmed down, Reynolds hired Monica Ruiz for his Gin aviation commercial. Of course this sparked rumors that perhaps there was more between the two. Both of them denied it. Ryan stated he was just helping a fellow actor in need. His kindness helped her to relaunch her career.

Monica has been married to Christopher O’Malley since 2013. They have two children together – a daughter and a son. While she was pregnant, Monica did a lot of maternity modeling. She also starred in a few commercials. She has kept most of her private life out of the limelight, especially since the unfortunate Peloton ad.

The fans never get tired of inventing rumors about their favorite TV celebrities. The rumors about Reynolds’ impending divorce have been endless, and one of those rumors suggested that Blake got back together with her ex, Leonardo DiCaprio. Fortunately, this was not the case – as they are still happily married. In fact, Ryan always makes fun of such rumors and speculations. Maybe the fans should just relax and be content with the fact that Ryan and Blake live a wonderful, happy life together with their children.
