Helena Bonham Carter
Mrs. Tim Burton may be in her forties now, but she resolutely refuses to be dragged anywhere near 'mumsy'. In fact, even when she's shrieking evilly in the Harry Potter series, or conspiring to turn half of London into tasty pies in Sweeney Todd, Bonham Carter is still possessed of a delightful earthy sexiness.
Most alluring as...
The, ahem, complicated Marla Singer in Fight Club, the freeze-frame sex scene, in particular, a world away from genteel costume dramas.
Interests include...
Despite describing herself as the 'antichrist of fashion', Bonham Carter is another actress with her own fashion line. In this case, her collaboration with Samantha Sage, is a delightfully dotty collection called The Pantaloonies.
