16. Gugu Mbatha-Raw
Gugu Mbatha-Raw's career has been going from strength to strength since she guest starred in Doctor Who during its third series. The award-winning actress became unknowingly embroiled in the Master's Earth-conquering scheme in her role as Martha Jones' sister, Tish, and in 2017 she'll be heading to the big screen for a tale as old time as she's just joined the star studded line up of Disney's upcoming Beauty and the Beast as Plumette. Emma Watson won't be the only Belle in the already highly anticipated live action remake because Gugu has also played her - albeit a different one - in a 2013 period drama about Dido Elizabeth Belle. Two Belles are always better than one, especially when one is a feather duster!
