Hottest Ingenue

Kristin Kreuk.

Age: 19.

Hometown: Vancouver.

Heat Factor: Her portrayal of Lana Lang gives Smallville soul.

Thinking Small: "When I filmed the pilot, I thought it was a quality show with a good cast, but I had no expectations. I just hoped people would connect with it because there's a lot of heart."

If She Could Have A Superpower: "I'd fly. I sit and watch birds go by and say, 'I wish I could do that.'"

Passions: Hip-hop, traveling abroad and writing fiction.

Force of Nature: Kristin still dreams of a career in environmental science. "Since I was a kid, I've been telling everyone about the rain forest and how it's being destroyed."

Bad Habit: Prone to klutziness. "I spill water on myself all the time at nice restaurants. I've run into poles and knocked myself out."

Up Next: Another season of Smallville.

The Last Word: "I never dreamed of being an actor, but I'm beginning to love it more and more because I like challenging myself. When I feel like I'm not learning or having fun anymore, then I'll stop."
