She made her name playing sexy teens who were young mothers or mothers-to-be--and Kerry Washington was certainly believable as The Girl Most Likely to Be Pursued by Horny Young Guys. The Bronx-born beauty finally broke through big alongside Julia Stiles in Save the Last Dance (2001) and then moved on to grown-up roles as Chris Rock’s girlfriend in Bad Company (2002). Co-star Anthony Hopkins must have liked Washington’s monuments, since Kerry’s pair would also be paired with “Sir Tony”--as she calls him--in The Human Stain (2003). Spike Lee directed a spike into our pants the next year with She Hate Me (2004), as Kerry finally took off her top as a luscious lesbian enjoying some insemination antics. Surprisingly she ended up enjoying a bigger hit with her role in the Ray Charles bio Ray (2004). Kerry gave us a glimpse of her Sexual Life (2004) in the underseen indie, but her star rose with our zippers as Washington won over the multiplexes with roles in the summer hits Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005) and Fantastic Four (2005).
