Kat Dennings Loves the Internet:

Way before most actors and filmmakers got busy on the 'net, Kat Dennings had already established a presence online. Dennings started out just blogging on her official site - katdennings.com - but now she has her own video channel on YouTube.

Breakthrough Role:

Playing Catherine Keener's daughter in The 40 Year Old Virgin upped Dennings' standing in the film community and with audiences.

Why She Stands Out:

Aside from the fact Dennings is a talented actress, she doesn't fit into the mold physically of most young actresses. Dennings prefers instead to embrace her more exotic looks and not go Hollywood blonde.
