94 Gabrielle Union

“Actress and model” may be a common way to describe Hollywood starlets, but Gabrielle Union wears those labels with class. With beauty and grace, she has risen up through the dual battlegrounds of movies and TV while staying grounded and composed. Her most high-profile performances came as an anti-antagonist cheerleader opposite Kirsten Dunst in Bring It On (2000), as Will Smith’s FBI girlfriend in Bad Boys II (2003) and as the first black love interest on Friends. Outside of acting, Gabrielle works as an activist and public speaker on violence against women, as she was a victim of a sexual assault in 1992.

She may have just split from husband Chris Howard of the Jacksonville Jaguars, but becoming a divorcée only improved Union's position on the Top 99 by one place compared to last year. In 2006, Union appeared in a few episodes of ABC’s Night Stalker, playing a reporter who helps a detective with his investigations of unusual homicides. Though the show was canceled, Union kept working throughout the year by obtaining a part in the high-profile biopic Running with Scissors and by starring in the video "I Love My Chick" for rapper Busta Rhymes.

2007 should start and end big for Gabrielle Union. She will appear in Tyler Perry’s latest film, Daddy’s Little Girls, a Cinderella story about a successful female lawyer who falls in love with a single father of three. Then, in November, Union will be seen in This Christmas, the tale of a young girl who gets a mall Santa to help find a new husband for her divorced mom. As for her personal endeavors, Union is playing the dating field, but there are rumors that she’s seeing Wentworth Miller of Prison Break.
