Sexiest Woman Alive: Latest news about Sexiest Woman Alive updates, She's beautiful. She's athletic. She's worked gunshot wounds as a surgical nurse. She can act. And you've already fallen in love with her, back when she was a cheerleader. Now fall for her with these two videos, plus more below and in the November issue of Esquire..
Minka Kelly looks so small out there on the water, bobbing at the end of the towrope. She's a head. Her brown hair is pulled tight, and a perfect ponytail rises and falls to the surface like a question mark. She's smiling — you can see her teeth from the boat.
The sun feels good, and an offshore breeze curdles the waves on the Great South Bay of Long Island, an hour or so outside the city. The 385-horse MasterCraft hums in the water, and the excitement that had built during the drive from Manhattan is all right there in her bobbing, far-off smile. She can't wait.
She wore that ponytail the first time most people ever saw her — on her television show, Friday Night Lights, season one, episode one. She was the high school cheerleader, kissing the quarterback in the driveway. That was four years ago, when she was twenty-six in real life and working as a scrub nurse — C-sections, amputations, craniotomies (a bone flap is temporarily removed from the skull to access the brain),
gunshot wounds, organ harvests, boob jobs, tummy tucks — before getting the call that she'd been picked for a principal role in a new network drama. In the pilot, the floodlight on the garage illuminated her from behind as she giggled and looked into the quarterback's eyes and flipped her hair and made you want to be in high school again.
