LAURA LINNEY

Turned 40: Feb. 5
For her role as a 1950s housewife in Kinsey, Linney had to age herself. "I walked away from my Pilates machine," says the actress, who gained 22 lbs. But Linney, who divorced actor David Adkins in 1999, dropped it all for a younger man: Topher Grace, 26, who plays her love interest in P.S. "It was daunting enough acting opposite her in every scene," says Grace. "She's so good."
