Lake Bell has by no means replaced my perennial boyish crush on Julia Roberts, but she is a close second. While she is beautiful, it was her turn as a marine biologist on a TV series entitled "Surface" which made me think, hmmm, what a "pretty woman."
And then, as I looked her up on the IMDB website, I came across this little promotional video which she made for her Maxim photo shoot. I know, I know, you think Maxim and you think flesh and pervert, but this little promotional video is all Lake Bell -- That is, well, you'll see. She definitely is not beautiful or sexy just for her looks. She's got a great sense of humour and if you care to look it up, her movie, still out in the repertory theatres in Toronto, which she wrote, directed and acted in has won some impressive awards. The movie? In a World won the screenwriting award and the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Festival.
