- Uma Thurman (‘G-Girl’)
Since Uma Thurman left G-Girl in the dust, she’s appeared in mostly independent films — though she did pop up in “Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief” in 2010 and in “Smash,” for which she scored an Emmy nomination, in 2012.

Fortunately, Ryan has been luckier in love: After his marriage of four years to Scarlett Johansson came to an end in 2010, the actor, who was once engaged to Alanis Morissette and dated Rachel Leigh Cook, rebounded with “Green Lantern” co-star Blake Lively. They tied the knot in September 2012.
