Top 10 Under-rated Beauties

Under-rated beauties to me is any female that I don't hear much about how pretty/cute/gorgeous they are. At least here in the States there are certain female celebs that I keep hearing about how beautiful they are, and at least to me they are average at best.



10.Nicki Clyne

Best known for playing Cally on the remake of Battlestar Galactica. Nicki Clyne was a lady that I thought was cute. Then in 2010 I met her at Coast Con. In person she is a stunning beauty. On BSG she looked tiny. But in person she is even tinier. Plus she has such a radiant personality. She had a huge line of people wanting to meet her and get autographs. And she made sure to spend at least 10 minutes with each person.

09.Patricia Tallman

I first saw Ms Tallman in the 1990 Night of the Living Dead remake. And thought she was a nice looking lady. And like Nicki Clyne it wasn't until I met Ms Tallman at Coast Con 2012 that I realized how beautiful she is. She is another one that I saw make sure to take the time to talk to and interact with every fan that approached her. Most people know her from Babylon 5. But to me she will always be the woman that worked on so many George Romero films.

08.Gretchen Mol

Ms Mol has a classic 30's pin up model look to me. I first saw her in the fairly entertaining "Notorious Bettie Page" film. Where she played Ms Page. After that film I really didn't see her in anything. And had forgotten about her. Then I started watching Boardwalk Empire and she plays Gillian on the show. She has a timeless look to her. Plus her eyes just grab me.

07.Connie Britton

I am noticing a trend here. So far every woman on the list has red hair or reddish hair. Connie I noticed when she was on Spin City. And found her personality so damn cute on the show. After it went off the air I didn't see her for a few years. Then American Horror Story:Murder House started. Ms Britton played the mother. She actually got prettier as she got older. I also like how she isn't some super thin blonde generic lady.

06.Katee Sackhoff

Katee was the only good thing about Halloween Resurrection. Besides being super cute in the film. She was great as the bitchy blonde stereotype. But I really fell in love with her as Kara "Starbuck" Thrace on the Battlestar Galactica remake. I have always have a thing for a woman that you can tell would have your back in a fight. And Kara was a great example of that. It seems outside of Science fiction geek circles she is almost unknown. Which is kind of sad. Because she is a great actress who should be much better known.

05.Lily Rabe

Ms Rabe seems to have done lots of theater work. But very little other stuff. I noticed her in her small part in the first season of American Horror Story. But it was American Horror Story:Asylum that really made me take notice of her. Like Gretchen Mol, Lily Rabe has that pin up/timeless look to her. Plus she has an amazing smile.I was told she has a pretty big role in the currently airing American Horror Story:Coven.

04.Maggie Siff

Sure I saw her during her short stint on Mad Men. But it was when Sons of Anarchy started that I realized how attractive Maggie Siff is. She isn't a conventional beauty. But in my eyes she is one of the best looking women on TV currently. She is another woman where the first thing about her that I noticed was her eyes. In the newest season of Sons of Anarchy she has cut her hair. And it is about shoulder length. To me this look doesn't work as well for her as the longer hair. But she is still a very pretty lady.

03.Bordy Dalle

The former leader singer of The Distillers and Spinnerette, Brody Dalle is a great example of a woman is far from what the media pushes as the standard of beauty. I find her breath taking. I mentioned earlier that I like a lady who looks like she would have your back in a fight. And Brody looks like not only would she have your back but odds are she would be able to handle the fight all on her own. Sometimes it seems like she goes out of her way to downplay her looks. But even then she is still gorgeous. Plus there is just something about any woman that can play a guitar.

02.Fairuza Balk

When The Craft first hit theaters all my friends kept talking about how all the main cast, besides Ms Balk were "SO HAWT!" I had to disagree. Now Rachel True is a very pretty woman. But the other two ladies just didn't appeal to me. Fairuza Balk was the one I found the most attractive. With any woman the first thing I notice is their eyes. And Ms Balk has AMAZING eyes. They feel like they are looking at you and piercing into your inner being. Then you add in this "Don't fuck with me" attitude she projects. I wish she did more films or television work.

01.Linda Cardellini

What can I say. From the first 3 minutes of the first episode of Freaks and Geeks I have had a massive crush on Ms Cardellini. For awhile I thought maybe I was more attracted to the character she played. But then I saw her in the Scooby Doo movie and realized it was her beauty and personality that attracted me to her. She has a smile that brightens any room. Eyes that I can stare at for hours. Then a face that oozes cuteness. The only time I haven't found her mega attractive is the time frame when she was on ER and had blonde hair. Some women look good with blonde hair. But Linda Cardellini doesn't. Then you add in her great acting talent. She is good at dramatic and comedic roles. Even in run of the mill tripe like Legally Blonde she manages to rise above the LCD script and put in a standout role.
