Number 51 - Samaire Armstrong

Go on admit it, you secretly fancied the kooky, quirky blonde-haired one in The OC didn’t you? We all did – she was undeniably hot!  And funnier than Mischa Barton too.
 
Samaire (pronounced Sah-mee-rah) of Scottish/Italian descent has appeared in a whole host of primetime sitcoms and comedy movies in her time. Notably Entourage, Dirty Sexy Money and teen comedy movie, It’s a Boy Girl Thing (no, we didn’t see that either). And perhaps her most overlooked role, was playing Gollum in her high school’s theater production of The Hobbit, a notoriously difficult part to play.
 
In 2007, she famously checked herself in, then out, then in again, of an ‘outpatient facility’ (pronounced – men-tal hos-pi-tal) for personal reasons. But hey, cut the girl some slack – if you’d been made to appear in music videos for Hanson’s Penny & Me and Daniel Powter’s Bad Day, you’d go a teeny bit loopy too…
