AnnaLynne McCord
In 2008, she was the eighteenth actress to be cast in The CW series "90210", portraying antiheroine Naomi Clark. Initially, the part of Clark was conceived as a supporting role. However, by the end of the first season, media outlets had begun referring to McCord as the series' lead. For the role of Naomi Clark, she was nominated for a Teen Choice Award and received the "Hollywood Life" Young Hollywood Superstar of Tomorrow award in 2009. In 2010, she won a Breakthrough of the Year Award in the category of "Breakthrough Standout Performance".

While reviewing the third season, Andy Swift of "HollywoodLife.com" compared McCord to Joan Collins, stating that she "gives every scene 110 percent". "Entertainment Weekly"'s Archana Ram wrote, "I've said it before, and I'll say it again: AnnaLynne McCord is the best part of "90210". And last night, she proved it again by giving us a glimpse of all the colors of the Naomi rainbow—bitchy, scared, confident, relieved, and more."
