Although it may not seem so, THE LIST IS BASED ON A EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVE OF THINGS. Newcomers in this months chart: - Famke Janssen is one of the highest new entries in the history of this list, but also one entry that hardly needs an explanation. The new Bond movie "Goldeneye" has been extremely successful all over the globe and Famke plays the femme fatale in that movie with a glow that makes her very difficult to ignore. - We first saw Sherry Stringfield in award winning series "NYPD Blue". Now she has starred a couple of seasons as Dr. Susan Lewis in "ER". What a career! - Mariah Carey, the sweetheart of all the world's tabloid magazines has a new record out that sells very well (as her albums always do), - This may very well be the year when Linda Fiorentino finally gets her big break-through. After having starred in a bunch of movies which all more or less could be called erotic thrillers, she will hopefully finally get a good role this year. - Enya is the first irish woman we have on this list. Her unique way of mixing folk music with influences from modern music makes her a worthy member of this list. - Joan Severance was not really that successful as an H&M girl, but she has made it into the list anyway. - Mylene Farmer, the french singer is back again, this time with a bit more rockier album compared to what she has done before, called "anamorphosée". Mylene seems to be a very complex person, fragile, but yet strong. Movers: - Yes, we finally have a new number one, Jennifer Anniston or should I rather call her Rachel Karen Green? She is the most popular female "Friend" and she is also worthy of the # 1 position. - Izabella Scorupco, the other Bond girl on this list has moved up several positions. I have been getting comments that she is from Poland and not from Sweden. That is partly true. She was born in Poland and moved to Sweden as a child. However, when she was asked if she is Swedish or Polish, she answered that she is Swedish so that's why I prefer to call her a Swede. Almost made it into the list (we'll see next month): - Trish Goff, model from USA. - Patsy Kensit, who will star in two upcoming movies. Great article on her in For Him Magazine, where it is revealed that she did it with Mel Gibson when they shot "Leathal Weapon 2", she did it six times a day when she was newly wed to Jimmie Kerr, lead singer in Simple Minds and she even did it with the writer of the article. What? Played Scrabbles of course! - Saskia Reeves, actress kissed by butterfly. - Jenny and Malin Berggren, singers in Ace Of Base. - Kristin Davis (Brooke Armstrong Cambell) and Josie Bissett (Jane Mancini), stars in "Melrose Place".
