Follow Those Girls!
Amid the Hollywood throng of talented young actresses, the author talks to six standouts, who have been shaping their careers in very different ways, parlaying famous last names, Disney hits, and paparazzi pressure into edgier, more grown-up material. Lily Collins, Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Isabel Lucas, Amber Heard, and Zoë Kravitz pose for Norman Jean Roy and Patrick Demarchelier as a posse of up-and-coming attractions.

Lily Collins
She’s as affable and wide-eyed as her famous dad, rock musician Phil, is menschy. The tweener set knows her as the party girl Phoebe on 90210 and as the host of Nickelodeon’s Hollywood Hang, on which she interviews the network’s stars. She’s done it all while attending the University of Southern California and writing the occasional magazine or newspaper piece on the side. This fall saw her moving into the big leagues, playing Sandra Bullock’s daughter in The Blind Side. Next up is Priest, based on a Korean comic book about a post-apocalyptic world made up of humans and vampires. With a million more people to meet, and who knows how many movies in her future, Collins can barely contain herself. “I always find myself wishing I was on set,” she gushes breathlessly. “I look forward to getting dirty, getting lost in the moment. I get really excited just talking about it!”
