The Future of Hollywood Leading Men and Women

Amanda Seyfried

(24 years old; this generation’s Winona Ryder)

She is already box office gold. She has Mamma Mia, Jennifer’s Body, Dear John, and Letters to Juliet. People may see that list and just roll their eyes. That is basically how I felt after I saw her first film, Mean Girls. Not too long after that, however, I saw Nine Lives, and I got a new perspective. She also was tremendous in Chloe and in the HBO series Big Love. She has the talent and looks to be the biggest star. She effortlessly emits emotion and is just really likable. This is why I compared her to Winona Ryder. They have similarly transparent faces. Like Ryder, Seyfried is going to have as solid of a career as she wants. Seyfried will likely be much bigger than Ryder was, though. Maybe she already is.
