Here we look at ten more actresses whose success might have more to do with how good they look and not how well they act.

Again, we have to reiterate that this isn't meant to be an insult to these actresses or fans of these actresses. We just have to acknowledge the fact that there are actors and actresses who are cast for their looks before their acting ability in parts that are designed to bank on their attractiveness and get people into the theater. There are definitely some talented actresses on this list, but there are those who owe their career to looking great on camera.

  • Alison Brie

    Alison Brie is an actress who is a good example that you don’t necessarily have to be a bad one to be on this list. It just so happens that her appearance is a main focus of attention amongst producers and fans alike, more so than her acting ability, which she definitely does have. With regular focus on her rack while on ‘Community’, to blatant lingerie shots in ‘Get Hard’ and ‘Sleeping with Other People’, Brie’s beauty is a definite commodity for her career. And many GIF sites have pages and pages dedicated to her most “GIFable” moments.

  • Paula Patton

    In regards to Paula Patton, what have you heard more about lately: praise for her acting ability or shock that Robin Thicke would cheat on such a hottie? Patton may not be a horrible actress like others on this list, but can anyone truly ever argue that her acting ability matters in her popularity?  She was the token hot woman in the 4th ‘Mission: Impossible’, her biggest role to date, and recently was used to make the big-tooth Orcs desirable in ‘Warcraft’.

  • Cameron Diaz

    Let’s face it, there are plenty of decent actresses, even great actresses, who get a great deal of attention for their appearance and definitely take advantage of that. While Diaz may never get an Oscar, she’s never been terrible. But she knows enough to bank on her looks as much as possible, with her memorable debut in ‘The Mask’ (we saw her rack before her face), to repeated bikini shots in ‘Charlie’s Angels’, and so on. When her career went a little stagnant, she went back to the well showing serious skin in ‘Sex Tape’.

  • Jennifer Garner

    Now that we’ve given credit to good actresses who just happen to rely on showing skin, we had to admit there are plenty whose whole careers wouldn’t exist if they weren’t hot, and Jennifer Garner is a great example. Never known for great movies (‘Daredevil’ and ‘Elektra’. Need I say more?), her highest success came from her television show ‘Alias’, which had plenty of shots that relied on her looks.

  • Heather Graham

    Not a good actress, but not terrible either. We just can’t ignore the fact that Graham’s sexiness has led to her more memorable films from her full frontal exposure as the roller-skate bound porn star in ‘Boogie Nights’, Austin Powers’ sexual equal in ‘The Spy Who Shagged Me’, the stripper/escort who doesn’t mind whipping out a boob in front of company to feed her baby in ‘The Hangover’, to having her brown-eye licked clean by Robert Downey Jr. in ‘Two Girls and a Guy’.

  • Jennifer Love Hewitt

    If you don’t think that Jennifer Love Hewitt’s appearance has been a focal point of her career, just remember that her nickname, made famous by ‘Scary Movie’, was “Jennifer Love Huge Tits”. While she’s been on shows like ‘Ghost Whisperer’ that didn’t focus on her looks, she’s also had wide-spread success and attention from shows like ‘The Client List’, where she’s a small-town mother with a sexy double life.

  • Lacey Chabert

    There’s a reason Lacey Chabert showed up on our list of actresses whose current work makes watching their younger stuff uncomfortable to watch. Spending her youth on ‘Party of Five’, Chabert’s current body of work pales in comparison to her actual body.  While she’s never had a regular place in mainstream stuff, she’s shown up in ‘Mean Girls’ and ‘Not Another Teen Movie’, playing the hot high schooler.  Other than that, she’s done a lot of low-budget and made-for-TV movies like ‘Thirst’, ‘Imaginary Friend’, and ‘Slightly Single’, most of which she ends up sporting her bra or a bikini.

  • Tiffani Theissen

    You cannot deny that the creators of ‘Saved by the Bell’ used sex to appeal to a pubescent male demographic with Kelly Kapowski sporting a bikini or midriff.  I’m pretty sure their bikini-heavy Hawaiian special is a favorite moment in puberty for many a now-mid-30s men.  After her stint at Bayside High, Theissen did a strip tease for Pauley Shore in ‘Son in Law’, regularly showed the goods on ‘Beverly Hills 90210’, and gave SNL’s The Ladies Man something to talk about on his show.

  • Alice Eve

    Alice Eve is another actress where audiences, primarily men, are likely going to remember what she was wearing, or not wearing, more than her lines or performance. Her wardrobe ranging from wet t-shirts to no shirts, Alice Eve’s looks were never more focused on than when she was pointlessly put on display in her undies in a highly criticized moment in the highly criticized ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’.

  • Emilia Clarke

    You could mention ‘Game of Thrones’ to someone who’s never seen a single episode and they’ll know it as the show with the dragons, sex, and nudity.  And one person’s nudity stands out as a regular part of the show more than others, Emilia Clarke.  Clarke is definitely not a bad actress, but her attempts to do work outside out of GoT where she doesn’t strip down, like ‘Terminator: Genisys’ (which was actually not bad at all), have unfortunately failed to match her naked dragon-mother success and noteriety.
