by KRISTA SMITHMay 2009

Name: Anna Paquin. Age: 26. Provenance: Winnipeg, Canada, via Wellington, New Zealand. Red-carpet baby: As one of the youngest people ever to win an Oscar, wunderkind Paquin (best supporting actress, 1994, The Piano) joined Hollywood's most exclusive club as a mere tween. "I remember looking up that night and thinking, There's a thousand people sitting on the bleachers and, for some reason, they all know my name!" Her bloodsucking return to the Zeitgeist .occurred last fall with the debut of Alan Ball's cultish HBO drama True Blood, which returns this summer and has already earned Paquin a Golden Globe. "The pilot script showed up, and I stalked [Ball] until he said yes," she admits. But there was one problem-her character, Sookie Stackhouse, was meant to be a blonde. "The morning I showed up for work after going blonde, everyone was very relieved."
