Megan Fox is best known as the toothsome grease monkey in Transformers (2007, starring Shia LaBeouf) and its sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009). Fox played Lindsay Lohan's rude nemesis in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004), then earned praise for her comic sensibilities on the TV sitcom Hope & Faith (Fox replaced actress Nicole Paggi in the second season and was on the show from 2004-06). Since adulthood she's been a favorite of cheesecake magazines, and the success of Transformers cemented her status as a pin-up girl of the tomboy variety. FHM magazine named her the sexiest woman in the world in its 2008 poll. She also starred as a killer cheerleader in the 2009 comic horror film Jennifer's Body.

Extra credit: Fox has a tattoo on her right shoulder reading, "We will all laugh at gilded butterflies." It appears to be inspired by a line from act 5, scene 3 of Shakespeare's play King Lear: "So we'll live / And pray and sing and tell old tales and laugh / At gilded butterflies."

Other "sexiest" figures of her era: Matt Damon (People magazine, 2007), Jessica Biel (Esquire magazine, 2005) and Yo-Yo Ma ("sexiest classical musician," People, 2001).
