1 . Jennifer Aniston Jennifer Aniston makes a good case for proving that acting talent can be absorbed by osmosis. From her father John Aniston's stardom on Days of Our Lives to her godfather Telly Savalas, the actress was surrounded by plenty of inspiration from an early age. As Aniston attended the Rudolph Steiner School as a child, she was interested in many forms of art and proved to be a talented painter, eventually having one of her pieces displayed at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. Acting also appealed to her, and... [ more] 2 . Jay Leno A popular comedian during the 1970s, "Jay Leno" is best known as the man who replaced "Johnny Carson" at the helm of The Tonight Show in 1992.

Brittany Murphy
"Brittany Murphy" first came to the attention of film audiences as Tai, one of "Alicia Silverstone"'s airhead friends, in the 1995 comedy "Clueless". Though convincing as a dim-bulb character, "Murphy" cuts dramatically against this grain off-camera, as a ferociously intelligent and ambitious young performer who had acting in her blood from early childhood. As a teenager and young adult, she gave expression to the scope of her talent and versatility with a series of engaging film and television... [more]

In the series, Cyrus portrayed... [ more] 5 .
