Babes of the year, 2001

Fifty one to Seventy five

Fifty one: Anne Parillaud

Wiry Gallic babe from Nikita may not have cracked the American market with Innocent Blood but remains a firm favourite with fans who like their screen ladies a little bit more pantherlike than pneumatic

Fifty two: Jamie Lee Curtis

Good actress and a body to die for. If you only catch 10 minutes of True Lies make sure she's in them - preferably in her black micro dress. Best of all, she married Nigel Tuffnel (Christopher Guest) from Spinal Tap. This much talent. Not to be confused with Tony Curtis in (another) wig.

Fifty three: Jennifer Connelly

Despite an unimpressive start in Labyrinth, Connelly soon blossomed into an attractive leading lady. Okay, no range but jaw droppingly gorgeous. Best moment: That nanosecond in The Hot Spot on the beach which you probably downloaded last week. Not to be confused with: Brian or Billy Connolly.

Fifty four: Willow (Alyson Hannigan)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer's nerdy mate is a comic genius and cute as a button. Not to be confused with Willow, the low fat spread or diminutive hero of George Lucas' 1988 fantasy adventure.

Fifty five: Katie Holmes

Wonder Boys and Dawson's Creek have made this raven haired beauty a force to be reckoned with.

Fifty Six: Catherine Deneuve

Perhaps best remembered for countless arthouse flicks: And getting it on with Susan Sarandon in The Hunger.

Fifty Seven: Jill St John

One of the best Bond girls with more balls than most of Bond's babes. This is what made Diamonds Are Forever great

Fifty Eight/Fifty nine: Mel and Sue from Late Lunch

Funny? I should coco. Not to be confused with Mel and Kim, ill fated pop stars from the Eighties

Sixty: Diana Rigg

Forget Uma Thurman in the big screen Avengers travesty - this is the real Emma Peel. Not to be confused with an oil rig

Sixty one: Pamela Salem

Thirtysomethings may remember her as the witch from Eighties kids series Into the Labyrinth, tackling Ron Moody. Well, given the choice, who would you fancy? Not to be confused with Salem's Lot.

Sixty two: Julianne Moore

Resourceful gorgeous star of Hannibal and The Big Lebowski

Sixty three: Janeane Garofalo (Bless you!)

Small. sassy and refreshingly un-Hollywood. Little wonder the moneymen keep signing her up for a series of turkeys, so desperate are they for her to save things such as Larger Than Life with Bill Murray. Best moment, aside from The Larry Sanders Show: Phone sex with Ben Chaplin in The Truth About Cats and Dogs.

Sixty four: Lulu

She may be getting on a bit but still as cool as when she first burst onto an unsuspecting world in the Sixties.

Sixty five: Anna Brecon

The best reason to watch Emmerdale

Sixty six: Angela Griffin

Defected from Coronation Street to Holby City; got stabbed in controversially violent pre-watershed bloodbath; made a rapid recovery - thankfully.

Sixty seven: Charlie Dimmock from Ground Force

This is what coverted millions of blokes to gardening.

Sixty eight: Caroline Quentin

Very amiable in the flesh; not only made Men Behaving Badly and Jonathan Creek but the excellent sitcom Kiss Me Kate which is the best thing the Beeb have churned out for years. Not to be confused with Quentin Tarantino

Sixty nine: Joanna Cassidy

Blade Runner star and veteran of countless TV movies. Not to be confused with David Cassidy.

Seventy: Susan Sarandon

Good actress, wears well. Recently arrested. Not to be confused with Chris Sarandon, ex-husband.

Seventy one: Kelly Brook

Got a good roasting over her middling attempts to enliven The Big Breakfast but given the right vehicle, could be a winner.

Seventy two: Natalie Imbuglia

Proof that Neighbours can spawn some fine talent in these dark days.

Seventy three: Sarah Manners

The best reason to watch Doctors on a lunchtime.

Seventy four: Sarah Michelle Gellar

Buffy may have made number one in the FHM list but despite brains and beauty, this lithe killer of the undead gets a low ranking because Willow (Alyson Hannigan) is far better at number 54.

Seventy five: Louise Brooks - Silent but deadly attractive icon

Seventy five to one hundred coming soon.
