Summary: Take a look at this video of some of the most beautiful women in Hollywood.
From Garbo to Portman, the starlets of Hollywood shine in this video. But did you know many of them have played lawyers (or opposite lawyers) at some point in their career?
A number of these beauties played roles as the wives or girlfriends of lawyers, including Greta Garbo, Catherine Hepburn, Carole Lombard, Maureen O’Hara, Lana Turner, Sophia Loren, Farah Fawcett, Carole Bouquet, Janet Leigh, Penelope Cruz, and Charlize Theron,
Marilyn Monroe was the mistress of a crooked lawyer in The Asphalt Jungle. Catherine Zeta-Jones tried to snag a womanizing Beverly Hills lawyer (played by George Clooney) in Intolerable Cruelty. And who could forget Raquel Welch as Mrs. Windham Vandermark in Legally Blonde?
Vivien Leigh married a lawyer in real life and had his daughter. Ginger Rogers also married a lawyer from France, but divorced in 1957.
Hedy Lamarr topped them both by marrying her own divorce lawyer, Lewis Boies (and ending their union two years later). And of course Elizabeth Taylor hired more lawyers than you can shake a stick at, thanks to her eight marriages.
Natalie Portman attended Harvard, where she studied with famous lawyer Alan Dershowitz while pursuing her degree in psychology.
And Natalie Wood’s death even caused Christopher Walken to hire a lawyer, after the investigation into her drowning was reopened in 1981.
But out of all of the beautiful women in this video, our favorites are the leading ladies who played lawyers on the silver screen, including:
(1) Michelle Pfeiffer, who represented a mentally disabled character played by Sean Penn in I Am Sam (2001); and
(2) Meg Ryan, who played a high-powered attorney who duct taped her adulterous husband to a toilet in Serious Moonlight (2009).
We’d also like to give a shout-out to Julia Roberts, who shined in Erin Brockovich. The real-life Erin Brockovich went on to start her own consulting firm, Brockovich Research & Consulting, which works with the New York law firm of Weitz & Luxenberg.
