Minka Kelly - The Sexiest Woman Alive
Actress Minka Kelly has been named Esquire magazine's Sexiest Woman Alive for 2010.
-
From nurse to sex bomb
The Friday Night Lights star talks about her transition to fame from a scrub nurse. She was knee-deep in C-sections, amputations and gun-shot wounds when she got the call that she'd been picked for a principal role in a new network drama. Then 26, Kelly never looked back.

What's on her plate?
Since her run on 'Friday Night Lights' has come to an end, Kelly has appeared in 500 Days of Summer, Parenthood, and will be seen in an upcoming Leighton Meester film called The Roommate.

In the same league as....
Being named the sexiest woman alive by Esquire, puts Minka in the same league as the almost preternaturally beautiful ranks of Halle Berry, Kate Beckinsale and Charlize Theron.

Never say die!
Minka grew up poor, sometimes hungry, with a stripper mom (now dead) and an absentee dad, Rick Dufay, whose claim to fame was a brief gig as a guitarist in Aerosmith. She lost an early opportunity to be in Playboy because she wouldn't get breast implants. Until she was cast in 'FNL' at age 26, she worked mostly as a nurse.

Upbeat at 30!
'I'm so excited to be a woman. Done with the twenties. I'm confident - confident in my skin, and I'm cool with my flaws and all that stuff. It just feels nice to be at peace with yourself.' says Minka. At turning 30 this year.
