The Dutch-born actress, 40, has spent more than a decade mixing a deadly cocktail of beauty and intrigue--as a Bond girl, a Nip/Tuck gender bender, a telepathic mutant...

FAMKE: FLYING SOLO

Famke Janssen may have played a mind-reading mutant in X-Men: The Last Stand (now out on DVD). But she couldn't pick up on her costars' plottings. "In one scene I'm lying on a table in a coma while Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman are doing dialogue over my head," remembers Janssen, 41. When told they were going to shoot without them talking, Janssen told herself, "Don't move or think about anything funny." When the silence became less than golden, Janssen opened her eyes. "Everybody left! They all thought it was hilarious. "
