David Fincher has built a reputation as the most meticulous man in Hollywood. He casts for weeks and over a hundred takes per scene is common. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo director's perfectionist mentality shows in his often impeccable final products, and given his quest for the best, we're guaranteed beautiful leading women. Continue reading to check out The 10 Hottest Actresses in David Fincher Movies.
Chloe Sevigny
10. CHLOE SEVIGNY
Movie: Zodiac (2007)
Maybe it's because of her OG hipster reputation, but no one looks more fitting in '70s garb than Chloe Sevigny. In the mystery-thriller based on serial killer known as "Zodiac," the peculiarly pretty Sevingny plays Melanie Graysmith, the tired and frustrated wife to Jake Gyllenhaal's relentless detective, Robert Graysmith.
Helena Bonham Carter
9. HELENA BONHAM CARTER
Movie: Fight Club (1999)
Helena Bonham Carter may not be everyone’s idea of the perfect woman, but as Marla Singer, her attractiveness was undeniable. The only woman in a film fueled by testosterone, Carter holds her own as the suicidal yet brilliantly resilient foil to uber-masculinity.
Gwyneth Paltrow
8. GWYNETH PALTROW
Movie: Seven (1995)
Paltrow stars as Tracy Mills, wife to Brad Pitt’s character. While she doesn't help solve any mysteries, she aptly portrays the symbol of home and morality in the film that follows a serial killer punishing complacent Americans according to the seven deadly sins.
Taraji P. Henson
7. TARAJI P. HENSON
Movie: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
Unfortunately, old age make-up and CGI kept Taraji P. Henson from basking in all of her sexy, youthful glory as Benjamin's adoptive mom in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Still, we're fans of this woman in any way, shape or form.
Jodie Foster
6. JODIE FOSTER
Movie: Panic Room (2002)
As a recently divorced mother living on NYC's Upper West Side, we couldn't help but root for Jodie when it came time for her to protect her kids from intruders. It never hurts when a woman knows how to handle a gun.
Rashida Jones
5. RASHIDA JONES
Movie: The Social Network (2010)
Although her role was relatively minor, her presence as Marilyn Delpy in “the Facebook movie” left as much of an impression on us as it did on Jesse Eisenberg’s character when she said, “You're not an asshole, Mark. You're just trying so hard to be.” We never forget a beautiful girl with a winning line.
Sofia Vergara
4. SOFIA VERGARA
Movie: Lords of Dogtown (2005)
Her part as Chino's girlfriend may have only been a blip on the screen, and hell, David Fincher only executive produced this movie, but we have to salute a gratuitiously sexy Sofia Vergara whenever we can.
Brenda Song
3. BRENDA SONG
Movie: The Social Network (2010)
Forget her previous work on The Disney Channel, Brenda Song is now known as the original Facebook groupie and the crazy chick who lit Eduardo Saverin’s trash can on fire. We can’t argue with the casting because we probably would’ve fallen for her charm too.
Cate Blanchett
2. CATE BLANCHETT
Movie: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
Cate's Daisy Fuller was the elixir of youth to Button’s de-aging self. Despite the fact that her character ages throughout the film, Blanchett never loses her signature striking beauty.
Rooney Mara
1. ROONEY MARA
Movie: The Social Network (2010), The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)
Thanks to David Fincher, there are two versions of Rooney Mara to love: Erica Albright in The Social Network and Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Whether you prefer her as an intellectual New England college student or a tatted computer hacker, Mara maintains her natural air of intrigue as both.
