Hot 100 List she followed that up by
showing off her hot bod and her sexy
side as a hip-hop choreographer in the
film honey but it was her part as a rope
twirling stripper in 2004’s Sin City

the film despite her sexy role and she
even went so far as to Institute a
strict no nudity policy in all her
future film contracts regardless her Sin
City role transformed her into a sex
icon and also led her to secure the part
of The Invisible Woman Sue Storm in the
comic book film adaptation Fantastic
