3. Sarah Jessica Parker.

Long before the actress landed her starring role as young writer Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, she was able to play a wide variety of characters. For example, Parker played a schoolgirl in Girls Want to Have Fun whose father forbade her to dance.

Angelina Jolie has played many bright characters in her acting career, and almost all of them emphasized her femininity and beauty. But her role as a young, daring hacker in Hackers deserves special attention.
