Maya Khabira Rudolph

You don't think "science fiction / fantasy" when you think of multi-talented Saturday Night Live alum Maya Rudolph.
Why not?
Currently appearing in BridesMaids, she hasn't done much genre, but what she's done recently has been either top-billed or featured player!
But perhaps her biggest Fantastic Femme credit was her uncanny ability to impersonate other Fantastic Femmes including Halle Berry, Lucy Liu, Beyonce, Vanessa Hudgens, and Whitney Houston during her tenure on SNL!
Trivia:
One of Maya's closest friends is Gwyneth Paltrow, whom she's known since grade school!
Maya is the daughter of legendary soul singer Minnie Riperton. Her greatest hit, "Lovin' You", was conceived and written by Minnie as a lullaby for baby Maya!

Genre appearances include...
Shrek Forever After / Shrek the Third (Rapunzel)
The Simpsons "Homer of Seville"
Idiocracy (Rita)
Devil's Child (Holly)
Gattica (Delivery Nurse)

Vanessa Hudgens IS Blondie in SUCKER PUNCH!

"Blondie"?
As long as she looks like THAT, I don't care what they call her!
I'll just sit and watch!

Yeah, it's an illustration, but it captures Vanessa beautifully!

Vanessa Hudgens in BEASTLY

Pix of lovely Vanessa Hudgens from Beastly, the first of two genre flix she's appearing in this month.
A "reimagining" of the classic Beauty and the Beast tale, it's more a chickflick than a true genre film.
But, hey, if she's in it, why not check it out?
Beastly opens today.

Vanessa Anne Hudgens

Is there anyone under the age of 25 who doesn't know Vanessa Anne Hudgens as Gabriella Montez from the High School Musical trilogy?
While she is best-known as an ingenue and singer with a couple of gold albums, with her credible acting ability (check out Thirteen), the willingness to do non-dangerous stuntwork (as seen in Thunderbirds), and her love of genre films, Vanessa's standing as a Fantastic Femme is assured!
Trivia:
Offered a role in the remake of horror film Prom Night, but turned it down.
Her singing training is in opera!
Performed all her singing in the High School Musical films and BandSlam.

Both her maternal and paternal grandparents were professional musicians in the 1930s-50s!

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island in 3-D (Kailani)
