Top Celebrities: 57 Kristin Kreuk

This Canadian beauty of Dutch and Chinese-Indonesian descent had no intention of becoming an actress when she was chosen to play Laurel Yeung on the Canadian teen drama, Edgemont, in 2000. In 2001, she became Clark Kent's girlfriend Lana Lang on the WB’s Smallville, and she continues to costar on the show. Kristin starred as Snow White in the TV movie Snow White: The Fairest of Them All (2001), and in the mini-series Legend of Earthsea (2004) with Isabella Rossellini. On the big screen, she has appeared in EuropTrip (2004) and in Partitian (2007). Due to her immaculate complexion, Kristin is also Neutrogena’s longest-standing spokesmodel.

Though Kristin’s screen appearances have been limited in 2006, we love the work she has done with UNICEF, the Red Cross and Greenpeace. As a result, Kristin nails No. 57 on AskMen’s Top 99; she was ranked No. 18 in 2005 and No. 16 in 2003. On a personal note, she's dating actor Mark Hildreth, whom she met on the set of Legend of Earthsea.

We'll continue to catch Kristin on the small screen in Smallville, and she will also star as Naseem in the indie film Partition, which stars Neve Campbell. The film is based on events surrounding the 1947 partition of India, and it should give her the opportunity to show what she can do when she's given a serious dramatic role to sink her teeth into. 2007 will also see the completion of her two-year contract with Neutrogena, so we can look forward to seeing Kristin soaping up and rinsing off for another year.
