“She’s a very savvy, composed girl,

not to mention stirringly beautiful

and a very smart actress. That’s a

pretty deadly combination,” Clive

Owen told ELLE of his costar

Natalie Portman in 2004. It’s one

shared by Hollywood’s most

fascinating leading ladies—including

these four, who once again grace

our covers, proof positive that they

captivate us on and off the big

screen.—Naomi Rougeau
