Ellen Page:

Ellen Page ranked 3rd in our list of Hollywood's Sexiest Women.  The 21-year-old Canadian-born actress is best remembered by men (who are fans of action films) for her role in the film "X-Men, The Last Stand" released in 2006, where she played the role of "Kitty Pryde" - meow!, say the guys for this Nova Scotia beauty!  But she's also been out front in her on-going TV appearances and may be remembered most by the MTC crowd where Ellen Page recently appeared in the MTV Movie Awards.

If any of you remember the television show "Trailer Park Boys" that aired in 2002, Ellen Page played the role of "Treena Lahey" in the series that centered around the lives of the characters who grew up living in a trailer park - making for a too-real circumstance for many of television's biggest fans who themselves grew up in cramped conditions.  But Page shines no matter where you put this sexy star and with her look of desire that's packed behind those beautiful eyes with brains to boot, any man - or women - would vote Ellen Page one of Hollywood's sexiest women today!  Incidentally, AfterEllen voted Page No. 6 in its Sexiest Women collection of celebrity beauties.

Ranking in order of our Sexiest Women of Hollywood cast were: No. 4, Sarah Sahi; No. 5, the sexy and single again, Jill Bennett; No. 6, Kate Winslet; No. 7, Lucy Lawless; No. 8, Jordana Brewster; No. 9, Mary-Louise Parker; and No. 10 in our Sexiest Women of Hollywood - Mandy Musgrave.

Early life

Page was born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, the daughter of Martha Philpotts, a teacher, and Dennis Page, a graphic designer. She attended the Halifax Grammar School until grade 10, spent some time at Queen Elizabeth High School, and graduated from the Shambhala School in 2005. She also spent two years in Toronto, Ontario studying in the Interact Program at Vaughan Road Academy, along with close friend and fellow Canadian actor Mark Rendall.Growing up, Page enjoyed playing with action figures and climbing trees.

 Career

Page began acting at age 4, appearing in numerous school plays. She first acted in front of the camera in 1997 at age 10 in the CBC television movie Pit Pony, which later spun off into a television series. This led to more roles in a number of small Canadian films and television series, notably playing Treena Lahey in Season 2 of Trailer Park Boys. At 16, she was cast in Mouth to Mouth, an independent film shot in Europe. Page starred in the 2005 movie Hard Candy and gained praise for "one of the most complex, disturbing and haunting performances of the year".[9] She also appeared in X-Men: The Last Stand as Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat), a girl who can walk through walls. In the previous X-Men movies, the part had been used in brief cameos played by other actresses, but never as a main character. As the title character in Juno, Page garnered substantial praise; A. O. Scott of the New York Times noted her as being "frighteningly talented"[10] and Roger Ebert said, "Has there been a better performance this year than Ellen Page's creation of Juno? I do not think so". Page was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Juno, but lost to Marion Cotillard in La Vie En Rose. The role, however, did win her several other awards, including a Canadian Comedy Award, Independent Spirit Award, and Satellite Award. Page also has starred in Smart People, which premiered at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. Although released after Juno, Smart People was shot earlier. Her other film credits include An American Crime, which premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival; The Tracey Fragments, which was released in November 2007 in Canada and May 2008 in the U.S.; and The Stone Angel.
