Not only being very successful on the catwalk, some world supermodels also conquer the movie industry by their best performances like Charlize Theron, Halle Berry, Gemma Ward, Brooklyn Decker, Cameron Diaz, Milla Jovovich, Rene Russo and Monica Bellucci.
 
Charlize Theron
Charlize Theron, born in South Africa, previously modeled to earn the living and then appeared in action films like â€UeAeon Flux" (pictured). Her role as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in â€UeMonster" was evaluated one of the greatest performances in the history of the cinema by critic Roger Ebert and helped this beauty won the Academy Award, Golden Globe and SAG Award.

She was nominated for an Oscar in 2005 for â€UeNorth Country"
 
Halle Berry
Halle Berry, the Cleveland beauty queen, won the Best Actress Oscar for her role in â€UeMonster's Ball" in 2001. She also played a junkie in â€UeJungle Fever", a mutant in â€UeX-Men" films and Bond girl Giacinta "Jinx" Johnson i... [more]

Let me tell you a quick story. There is a certain movie star from the olden days that I have always idolized. Several years ago, before the glut of fan magazines like People and Us, etc., you had to read about famous people in publications like Look and Life magazines. When a featured story about this lady was published, and included her so called "beauty secrets" I devoured the article and was quick to adopt her advice on creams for getting rid of dry skin.

Tom Cruise is one of the most accomplished actors that dominate the box office. He has managed to revamp his reputation and career in recent years and became a Hollywood icon. There are a lot of films stared Tom Cruise.
 
But which films have been his best? The following movies are my favorites starring or featuring Tom Cruise.
 
One movie that starred Tom Cruise in a different type of role was Collateral. This Michael Mann directed drama depicts Cruise as a villain for one of the few times in his career, and in my opinion, it was one of his better roles.
 
Jerry Maguire was arguably the greatest role of Tom Cruise's career. It was probably as close as he will ever get to winning an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, and had it been released in a less competitive year, he very well may have won.
 
One film which I feel deserves to be mentioned is A Few Good Men.
