3. Gina Carano - Haywire
The WMMA pioneer who was the first fighter to make a full jump to Hollywood, Gina Carano has received a lot of praise for her role as a former Marine working for a black ops firm in 2011's Haywire, directed by Steven Soderbergh (Out of Sight, Erin Brockovich). Also appearing in Fast and Furious 6 and the short-lived TV series Almost Human, it seemed as if Carano was gone from the fight world for good, until the UFC came calling. Talks are now swirling that Carano will be back for a title shot against bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey.
