“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
