Her long black, brown, or even dirty blonde hair, depending on her role I suppose? Not to mention, the one thing that is, unfortunately and freely observed the most her sex appeal. Here is an example of what I mean. In a movie called Gia, she portrays a heroin addicted model, which might I add, is a movie based on actual events.
