KOOL TV BABE OF THE WEEK: "VERONICA MARS"/"HEROES" KRISTEN BELL

Pretty against pink: Kristen Bell. Image: ULIKE.
Literally bringing psychological and physical sparks to the second and third series of HEROES (now showing on the UK's VIRGIN TV CHOICE and the SYFY Channel) as the cute but electricity bolt shooting Elle Bishop, lovely actress Kristen Bell has certainly made an impression since first coming to major TV prominence in the hit Teen detective series VERONICA MARS in 2004. Turning down a major part in LOST's Fourth Season, Bell, whose early acting roles normally showed her as spoilt teen brats with daddy issues, soon turned out to be HEROES most noteworthy gain when she first appeared with her innocent, butter wouldn't melt in her mouth looks which soon displayed a toying, fiery and destructive temper (and which, despite the odd guilty moments as a goodie working alongside her ex-Company man father (Stephen Tobolowsky), eventually saw her her confused soul hanging out with the villainous Sylar (Zachary Quinto) before her characters sad demise). With an advancing and highly mixed bag of movie material (from thriller (David Mamet's excellent SPARTAN) to high comedy (FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL), and especially impressing STAR WARS fans with her appearance in the Kevin Spacey produced comedy drama FANBOYS (and looking great in a Princess Leia slave girl outfit, I might add!)) plus appearances in commercial blockbusters-to-be like SCREAM 4 (alongside fellow HEROES actress Hayden Panettiere), as well as continuing high profile TV work, this is one young actress whose commercial voltage looks set to keep the screen alight for a long while yet.
