Femmes Fantastique! A-L

Ranked #1,048 in Entertainment, #12,396 overall

The Women who ARE "Special Effects"! Part 1

Some watch sci-fi / fantasy / action flicks & tv series for the kool special effects.
Personally, I watch them for the incredible ladies who OUTDO the effects!
Here's a slew of them, in alphabetical order, along with the genre roles they've played...
(I'm deliberately NOT listing the flicks / shows to make you seek out info about the movies / series they've done) ;-)
Whenever possible, I'll try to show a pic you haven't seen before!
TO cut down on load time, we've broken the line-up onto two lenses.
This presents actresses with last names beginning with "A" to "L"
Our "sister" page hosts the actresses with last names from "M" to "Z"
