Rising Star Mia Wasikowska

March 05, 2010

LOS ANGELES, Calif.

As she sat alongside Mary-Kate Olsen, Kate Hudson and Kristen Stewart at the Burberry show at London Fashion Week on Tuesday, not everyone knew Mia Wasikowska’s name. But despite the nearby superstar power, it was hard not to be drawn to the lithe blonde with a pixie cut, as she sat with her gangly arms perched on her thighs, her knees locked together — and atop her graceful neck? A face full of childlike beauty; a soft button nose, a delicately bewitching smile, those mischievous dimples and her amber colored eyes.

Mia’s name may not sound off the paparazzi alarms yet, but in just a few weeks, the world will have its chance to be delighted by the Australian-bred actress – AccessHollywood.com’s newest Rising Star, as she helps Tim Burton re-imagine Alice Kingsley in Disney’s magical “Alice In Wonderland.”

December 08, 2009

LOS ANGELES, Calif.

With his square jaw-line, arched eyebrows that frame deep brown eyes and his ever-so-charming asymmetrical smile, “Scrubs” newbie Dave Franco is not only a handsome looking 24-year-old, but despite being a fresh face, he’s an oddly familiar one too.

Rising Star: Anna Kendrick

November 19, 2009

HOLLYWOOD, Calif.

You’d think that 24-year-old actress Anna Kendrick would feel a bit of pressure, being in not one, but two, of the biggest films of the 2009 holiday season.

Rather, very unlike the hyperactive human Jessica character that she plays in “The Twilight Saga,” she is cool, calm and collected about the upcoming wave of publicity that she’s currently undergoing.

More about Anna, and her experiences filming “Up In The Air” with George Clooney… after the jump!
