So the other day my mother was talking to me about how I’m under-motivated in life and that I need to find some inspiration and get my life into action, career wise that is. I turned towards my beloved Hollywood, and listed a list of women who have made it huge, and HOW:

25. Evan Rachel Wood

The beautiful and oh so young Evan Rachel is notoriously known for her 1 year relationship with Marilyn Manson, which ended in 2008, only to get engaged to him in 2010 which didn’t last very long either. The 23 year old has had some fascinating roles in the Beatles inspired movie “Across the Universe” as well as the critically acclaimed “Running with “Scissors”. She is also a talented singer as proved by her debut album!

24. Leighton Meester

I just LOVE her for her portrayal of Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl. The 24 year old was born in a Texas State Hospital, considering her parents were in jail for drug trafficking when she was born. From the lock-up to being a tabloid darling, Leighton has come a long way!!

23. Lauren Conrad

Lauren first appeared on the MTV reality show “Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County”. She then showed us the college life when she appeared in the MTV series “The Hills”. Apart from these projects in her kitty, the absolutely gorgeous Lauren is also a spokesperson for “Mark”, an Avon line marketed towards the younger female market.
