Emily Blunt, Britain's Hollywood female action star

The new name Hollywood is going to for a female action lead is Emily Blunt -- a British actress who in short hops has established herself as a tough-yet-vulnerable heroine able to hold her own against big male stars. The 32-year-old got the attention of Hollywood with her leading role in "Young Victoria", playing the 19th century British queen. Then last year, audiences saw her as a steely sci-fi warrior in "Edge of Tomorrow", teaching Tom Cruise how to fight endless waves of invading aliens.
