Helen Cowley, Editor at LOVEFiLM commented:
“It’s hugely impressive to see such a young list of actresses making their mark this year. Only three of the top ten and one of the top five are over 25 and it’s also clear that Brit actresses are having a real impact in
Hollywood with the likes of Carey, Emily and Gemma leading the charge. Top star Kristen is a shrewd judge of roles with some clever career choices in recent years, so it’ll be interesting to see which direction she goes in after her time as Bella Swan comes to an end.
With LOVEFiLM’s choice of over 67,000 titles plus more to watch online, you can watch all of the fine female performances and continue to track their careers.”
