Who’s who’s among intriguing and beautiful women in this summer’s spate of new movie releases. BuzzSugar.com has done some delving into what audiences can expect on the silver screen this summer and has chosen ten women stars who shine, among them two heavy hitters who we have not seen of late; Michelle Pfeiffer and Ellin Barkin.

Michelle Pfeiffer
“Starring in not one, but two summer movies (Hairspray, Stardust), Michelle Pfeiffer is once again the lady of the hour. In Hairspray she plays Velma Von Tussle, the catty, overbearing stage mother to Brittany Snow’s character, Amber. In Stardust she plays a witch intent on staying young and beautiful, which is funny because she really looks young for her age. Pfeiffer is kind of getting up there but still looks like she’s my age, and she seems rather spry. It’s freaky.

Ellen Barkin
Ellen Barkin is one tough broad. I love watching her in movies, and since she doesn’t do too many, it’s a treat to see her this summer in Ocean’s Thirteen. Moreover, every interview I read only further endears me to her. In this week’s Entertainment Weekly, for example, she asserts, “Hollywood likes a girl who looks like men can make her cry, and I’m not that girl.” How cool is she? Her tough-sassy-sexy thing got her the coveted role of being the only lady in a cast of hot men, and it got her the Number 2 spot on my list.”
