Hopefully they hire an ugly nanny this time.

4. Emily Blunt

Emily Blunt is one of those women who is just undeniably beautiful. She got her first break in 2004 on the film “My Summer of Love” and she’s kept acting since that break out role. When it comes to the struggle of becoming an actor, Emily says, “It just sort of fell into my lap. It`s an awful story for people who`ve struggled and waited. It`s a horrible thing to hear. It was just incredibly fortunate”. With looks like this I think we’re the fortunate ones.
