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".
Annabella Sciorra
She earned widespread attention in 1991 for her co-lead role in Spike Lee's film, "Jungle Fever", opposite Wesley Snipes. In his review for "The Los Angeles Times", Kenneth Turan wrote that Sciorra was "possessed of considerable presence, assurance and vulnerability". She then starred alongside Rebecca DeMornay in Curtis Hanson's 1992 thriller, "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle", which held the #1 position at the North American box office for four consecutive weeks.
