Lights. Camera. Action. There are so many talented actresses in Hollywood who represent strong, beautiful, classy, hard-working, empowering females. They not only play strong female leads on screen, but they are strong females who lead in the real world by their actions. These women are great role models whom we can seek relationship advice from in our love lives, as well as in our careers.
Need relationship advice? Cupid has compiled the 10 actresses to seek guidance from:
1. Jennifer Lawrence: This leading lady in Hollywood has accomplished so much. The Oscar winner is all about empowering women and creating wage equality between genders. She even wrote a wage inequality essay that all women can relate to! The JOY star has also maintained the right amount of publicity when it comes to her intimate celebrity relationships. She doesn’t hide anything, but doesn’t publicize everything either. There was also a revealing leaked photo incident, which she handled like the class act that she is!
