LENA HEADEY
...is the next Jennifer Garner
As Alias' Sydney Bristow, Jennifer Garner hit her badass peak by parachuting into a swanky cocktail party. As the titular heroine of Fox's upcoming Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (premiering Jan. 13), Lena Headey, best known as the estrogen shot in last winter's 300, does one better: time-traveling smack into the middle of a bustling Los Angeles freeway — without wearing a stitch of clothing. It's all in a day's work when your character's trying to defeat an army of revolutionary robots hell-bent on destroying not only the human race but your teenage son, too. In Chronicles — which takes place after Terminator 2: Judgment Day — the 34-year-old Headey captures the world-weary anxiety of a woman who's been marked for death but won't stop fighting back. And if that's not true star power, then perhaps those dastardly robots have already won. —Michael Slezak
