Andie MacDowell
Model turned actress with an engaging but often lightweight homely charm, whose first screen role was as Jane Porter (opposite Christopher Lambert) in Hugh Hudson's magnificent Greystoke: The Legend Of Tarzan, Lord Of The Apes (1984), where her voice was dubbed by Glenn Close. She clocked up a series of good roles in a variety of movies, playing characters with very similar first names - including repressed wife Ann Millaney in Steven Soderbergh's acclaimed Sex, Lies And Videotape (1989), mysterious nun Anna Baragli in box-office flop Hudson Hawk (1991), and distraught mother Ann Finnigan in Robert Altman's Short Cuts (1993). The romantic comedy Groundhog Day (1993) bought her Hollywood stardom and leading lady status, which she capitalised on as Carrie in British hit Four Weddings And A Funeral (1994). Her finest hour as an action woman is playing rifle-toting Eileen Spenser in post-feminist western Bad Girls (1994). Since then, she's appeared as Laura Kinney, wife of cloned Michael Keaton, in Multiplicity, and as Dorothy Winters, a tabloid newspaper journalist on the trail of an exiled angel (John Travolta) in Michael (both 1996), before picking up a gun against her screen husband (Bill Pullman) as film producer's wife Page Stockard in Wim Wenders' The End Of Violence (1997).

Catherine McClements
Catherine McClements was Detective Senior Constable Rachel 'Goldie' Goldstein in Australian TV series Water Rats. When 'Goldie' was killed, the series lost ratings and, even when they replaced her with posh Dee Smart (as detective Alex St. Clare), one of the best police series had to stop. Goldie was the attraction, and McClements a really great actress. Lars Rimfalk Jensen

Dina Meyer

But her most notable action movie was Ridley Scott's Hannibal (2001), where she took over the role of FBI agent Clarice Starling first played by Jodie Foster in The Silence Of The Lambs (1991), and is forced into shooting it out with gangsters during a bungled felony arrest.

When Solar flare plasma ignites a catasrophic heatwave (plus cheap digital effects) on the world, rogue US Army girl turned bank robber, Ryan Tibbet (played by Kathryn Morris), is the most ambitious of all looters in Los Angeles. With help of dodgy mechanic, Eddie (Jonathan LaPaglia), she steals an artillery gun and uses it to blast open a bank vault! Steven Hampton

|
Carrie-Anne Moss
From the moment she first appears in a fighting scene as Trinity, in The Matrix (1999), her stardom was assured - "dodge this." Few SF action heroines manage to combine sex and violence in such an attractive package. She followed this with the female lead role as astronaut Bowman in sci-fi adventure Red Planet (2000), about a troubled expedition to Mars. Moss returned to the iconic role of Trinity for sequels The Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions (2003). |

Anita Mui
Hong Kong pop singer turned movie starlet who graced the silver screen as Fleur, in ghostly romance Rouge (1987), and then appeared in John Woo's A Better Tomorrow II (1989), and Jackie Chan's Miracles (aka: Mr Canton And Lady Rose, 1989) - a tribute to Frank Capra in which Mui played Shanghai chanteuse Luming Yang. Apart from co-starring roles in sci-fi fantasy Saviour Of The Soul (1992), in which she played Yiu May-kwan, and the fantastical Moon Warriors (1993) in which she played the character of Hsien, Mui is perhaps best known to action and genre movie fans in the West for her role as 'wonder woman' (no link to the Amazonian DC Comics' superhero) Tung Lau in comicbook styled adventure The Heroic Trio (1992), and its dynamic sequel about vigilantes in a dystopian future world, Heroic Trio 2: Executioners (1993). She has since portrayed the character of Elaine in Rumble In The Bronx (1994), and played tough-but-caring Hong Kong cop, Inspector Anna Fong (opposite Jet Li), in Yuen Kwai's My Father Is A Hero (aka: The Enforcer, 1995). |
