British-born, thinking-man's babe Rachel Weisz earned an Oscar for her work in The Constant Gardener, but she frequently finds herself cast in stinkers like The Mummy Returns and Envy. She is married to Mr. Bond himself, Daniel Craig.

A Jewish Londoner Weisz (pronounced "vice") attended Cambridge and started her career on stage in Britain. She earned praise for her performance in BBC miniseries The Scarlet and the Black in 1993, the same year she appeared on stage with Rupert Everett in Design for Living. Weisz snagged female lead in big-budget 1999 blockbuster The Mummy, which placed her on the Hollywood map. In 2001, she moved to the States for the sequel The Mummy Returns (lest we forget, this is the film that convinced The Rock to be a "serious actor") and has gone on to star in quiet dramas like About A Boy to major duds like The Lovely Bones and The Fountain (directed by her fiance at the time Darren Aronofsky,) but her biggest role was 2006's geopolitical thriller The Constant Gardener, which won her both an Oscar and a Golden Globe.

Having once dated Kate Winslet's ex Sam Mendes, Weisz and Arronofsky got engaged in 2005. They had a son, Henry Chance, who was born in 2006, but the couple split in 2010. Very soon after, Weisz pried Dream House co-star Daniel Craig from his long- time girlfriend, and in 2011 the couple married in an small ceremony in New York. [Image via Getty]
