Emma Caulfield

Played my favorite character in all media, Anya, on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".

Kristen Bell

I fell for her on Veronica Mars, but since the show's cancellation she's become every geek's fantasy, even more so after the announcement that come February, "Fanboys" will allow us to see her in Princess Leia's Metal bikini.

Mary-Louise Parker

How do you make a show about a Pot dealer in the suburbs universally appealing? Cast a lead so strikingly gorgeous that the phrase "Queen of All MILFs" just rolls off the tongue. Now if they only hurry up on that movie where her and Julie Delpy play Lesbian lovers. (No, I'm not kidding).

Amy Acker

Ever wonder what would happen if Scientists found a way to genetically engineer the perfect combination of Adorable Kitten Cute, Hot, Amazon Strength, and Mind-Meltingly gorgeous into one woman? You actually don't need to wonder. That woman already exists, her name is Amy Acker.

Eliza Dushku

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 13:46:23 GMT

On Buffy, as Faith, she taught us that bad girls have more fun, and although we never got that spinoff, she's reuniting with Joss Whedon for "Dollhouse" next month. And if you cancel it FOX, So help me God.

Diana Rigg

The ORIGINAL Girl Power TV Heroine. As Emma Peel, she oozed sophistication but pretty much explored every kink you can possibly think of on "The Avengers". Yeah, Your dad probably got off on this, hate to tell ya.

Alyson Hannigan

Following her transformation on Buffy from cute, waifish Willow to near-Goddess strength ultra powerful Wicca (and the looks that followed) was probably one of the main treats of the series. And she actually just gets better looking, although ditching the red for brunette.

Christina Hendricks

Speaking of Redheads, this actress who now is nationally known as the "Built like a Brick House" Queen of the Secretaries Joan Hollaway on "Mad Men" originally came to Geek attention as the mysterious seductress "Yosaf Bridge" (That's not her real name) on Firefly. She summed up the bottom line completely in a line to Cpt. Malcolm Reynolds. "But face it hubby, I'm really hot."

Alexis Bledel

What's one of the best parts about Gilmore Girls? Watching Rory grow up. By Season 7, well...damn.

January Jones

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 13:49:03 GMT

Going back to "Mad Men", This Grace Kelly like angel has given us Television's version of a Hitchcock Blonde. Watch the Pilot for Season 2, and thank me later.

Emily Deschanel

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 13:49:20 GMT

One Half of the Crime Solving duo of Booth and Brennan on "Bones" that recreates the Nick/Nora formula to great success, and one half of 2 incredibly gorgeous sisters.

Jewel Staite

When I was a kid, I had a thing for the bitchy, self-centered "Tiara" on the "Honey I Shrunk The Kids" TV series. Now I've got a thing for the woman she grew into, probably the hottest mechanic you'll ever see anywhere.

Summer Glau

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 13:51:55 GMT

Whether it's River Tam, or the Terminator, this girl became known on the geek circuit for playing completely unstoppable killing machines that look gorgeous WHILE they kill you. And that's an achievement.

Lauren Graham

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 13:52:07 GMT

Remember what I said about Rory? Yeah, well we waited for her to grow up, we had her mom to worship.

Sarah Michelle Gellar

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 13:50:32 GMT

Brought Girl Power to TV, and changed the medium forever as the title character on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". You simply can't do a list like this without the girl who made nearly all the strong women characters on this list possible.
