Lucky 7 Sexiest Irish-American Actresses

Women with a little Irish in them are often thought to have a fiery temper and be very strong-willed and stubborn. That's not necessarily a bad thing; a little feistiness can definitely add some spice to life. The actresses on this list are some of the most talented, beautiful, and beloved Irish-American actresses in Hollywood, and I bet they all have a bit of that fiery spirit in them that makes Irish women so compelling:

Olivia Wilde - Olivia Wilde apparently drives one of the sexiest women in Hollywood, Megan Fox, wild. Fox once told GQ magazine that she finds Olivia Wilde so sexy it makes her want to strangle a mountain ox with her bare hands (you're on PETA's list, Megan). The sexy starlet has smoldering green Irish eyes that make you feel like she'd know everything about you just by looking at you, and she just oozes sex appeal. The best places to see Olivia Wilde are on 'House', 'The OC', and 'The Girl Next Door'.

Rose McGowan - From dating Marilyn Manson to being blamed for breaking up a marriage, Rose McGowan is no stranger to scandal. She's also worn some very scandalous outfits that leave little to the imagination and played some scandalous characters, like a manipulative teen who kills one of her friends with a piece of candy. One of my guilty pleasures used to be getting up early to watch the bewitching beauty in 'Charmed' reruns. Newly redheaded Rose will also get the opportunity to play one of the few female comic book characters to get her own film in 'Red Sonja'. It'll be hard to wait until 2010 to see this perfect 10 don Red's skimpy warrior outfit, but I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

Jennifer Connelly - Jennifer still looks great for almost being 40, but I preferred her back when she carried a few extra pounds. Still, she has stunning eyes that I'm absolutely in love with, gorgeous hair, and a smile that she doesn't flash enough. Her performance in 'A Beautiful Mind' one this talented actress an Oscar, but most men prefer her performance in 'The Hot Spot' (she does a few nude scenes, including her first ever). She most recently starred in the film 'He's Just Not That Into You', which really makes absolutely no sense.

Heather Graham - Heather Graham is adorable, sexy, funny, and mesmerizing all at the same time. She's one of those actresses that it's hard for women to hate or feel jealous of because she's so darn cute and seems like she'd be so much fun to hang out with. I loved her character on 'Scrubs', and her role in 'Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me' was also a lot of fun. Heather's also not afraid of nude scenes; she's played a porn star who refuses to take her roller skates off in 'Boogie Nights', although you probably see the most of her in 'Killing Me Softly'.

Alyson Hannigan - Who knew the annoying redheaded flute player from 'American Pie' was so capable of stealing our hearts, despite her horrible band camp stories? Alyson is one of those actresses whose cuteness will always carry her. Whether it's starring in the popular TV vampire drama 'Buffy' or cult sensation 'How I Met Your Mother', she's just an actress that's a lot of fun to watch.

Kristen Bell - I love Kristen Bell because she doesn't have the typical Hollywood look, and her girl-next-door cuteness has made her extremely likeable to girls and guys alike. She became a household name with her teen detective drama 'Veronica Mars', and played the girl that almost couldn't be forgotten in 'Forgetting Sarah Marshal'. If you're lucky, you might even get to see her don the famous Princess Leia bikini in 'Fanboys'.

Janeane Garofalo - I know this might seem like a strange choice, but I've always enjoyed Janeane's strength and her courage to say whatever she feels like saying. She's an activist with a sense of humor, has a unique, quirky sense of style, and is really a very pretty girl (her looks are often overlooked because her personality is so strong). She's also a talented actress who has made appearances on a lot (and I mean a lot) of television shows, and a great choice for this list because she stars in a film that takes place in Ireland, 'The Matchmaker'.

So if you would like luck to be a lady for you on St. Patrick's Day, well, now you've got 7 to choose from.
