Two Words: Traci. Lords.

Christina Ricci?

Not sure that Ms Lords has entirely maintained quality control since getting the vote...

Traci's slo-mo kitchen-wrecking scene in Melrose Place was terrifying. Her Crybaby perf was perfect - more than capable of the bored sarcasm John Waters (= smartest director of the 80s?) requires. I don't know what else you want.

I nominate uh... the kid in Black Beauty.

Alyssa Milano? Has career (ie. current crap show LESS CRAP than previous crap show) & matured v. nicely as per those nood beach photos, snapped by alert members of the pepperoni.

alert members of the pepperoni = premise of AM's career

Wuz rooting for Christina Applegate. Her show was sorta good but about 5 years out of date.

Dunst Dunst Dunst.

Ricci Ricci Ricci.

Will they last? I hope so, both pretty good. Ricci has made the more interesting pictures recently (more interesting than Caspar?) but could easily get sidelined as Winona Ryder goth-u-like. Dunst is operating in smart teen comedies but could get sidelined as perky but young.

My personal favourite would have to be Natasha Lyonne though on the working her way through exploitation arthouse hell. Boys never make it past puberty.
