The Future of Hollywood Leading Men and Women

Jenna Boyd

(17 years old; this generation’s Jodie Foster)

I am surprised that I am including her in this conversation. The first time I saw her, I thought she was annoying, which was in the horrible The Missing. Then, she was in Traveling Pants, and completely steals every scene that she is in. Her emotionally-scarred character was the dramatic core of the film, and she totally owned it. Since, she has just had scattered TV and film credits, but nothing special. Her talent could evolve in the way that Jodie Foster’s did after Taxi Driver. She just needs the right role. I would not be surprised at all if she is a big star in 10 years.
