9 Angelina Jolie

Regarded as one of the most beautiful women in the world, Academy Award-winner Angelina Jolie is known just as much for her starring roles in movies like Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) and Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) as she is for adopting children and being Brad Pitt’s girlfriend. And Angelina doesn’t let the fact that she’s one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actresses get to her head; she’s a true humanitarian at heart, devoting most of her time to charitable causes as a goodwill ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency.

As the third most desirable woman on last year's Top 99, Angelina's career highlights from 2006 have kept her in this year's top 10. While having spent most of 2006 pregnant and reveling in Namibia with Brad and the rest of the Pitt clan, this raven-haired beauty appeared in the Robert De Niro-directed flick, The Good Sheppard, and spent the latter part of the year filming A Mighty Heart in India. Angelina’s good deeds extended well into 2006, as she spent Christmas Day in San José, Costa Rica, handing out presents to Colombian refugees.

Aside from claiming that she and Brad would like to adopt more children from impoverished countries, Angelina is set to grace the silver screen in 2007 in Beowulf and A Mighty Heart. She is also slated to direct the documentary A Moment in the World.
