Ali Larter

Where you’ve seen her:
Working a whipped cream bikini in Varsity Blues; in the horror flicks House on Haunted Hill and Final Destination; and as Mrs. Jesse James in Western thriller American Outlaws.

Even James Van Der Beek?
“I fall in love with all my leading men. I have a hard time separating fantasy from reality. [laughs] When I’m shooting a movie and looking into a man’s eyes while he’s telling me all these things, I believe him.”

An old-fashioned gal:
“The simplicity of meeting your man and being with him forever appeals to me. I’m very strong and do my own thing, but I’m OK with taking care of a man, cooking for him, keeping the house for him. I’m not ashamed of that domestic side of myself in any way.”

Scene from our next vacation:
“I went to Miami’s South Beach and loved it. The top came right off. I would never be the first one to do it, but everyone is like that there, and in that environment, at the ocean, it’s wonderful. I’m not ashamed of my body.”

And the lady will be having the Extra Value Meal:
“I love to feel like I’m somebody’s lady. I really like a man who orders for me at dinner. I like drinking bottles of wine with my man and sitting in his lap.”

We are totally in:
“I hate pretty-looking boys. I’d rather have a guy with a potbelly than one who’s in the gym all the time and watches what he eats.”
