Tricia Helfer - Heavenly body

Tricia Helfer
I ride a Harley and it gets you a lot of attention from men, but the only people who seem to recognise me are guys at the fishmarket or guys in the pharmacy...

Part Norwegian, part Swedish and – less pleasingly – part German, blonde Canadian actress Tricia Helfer was always going to be a looker (or just extremely efficient/good at skinning whales), so it’s not much of a surprise that she was spotted aged 17 by a model scout while queuing to see a film.

By 2002, she was bored of mincing for photographers and moved to LA where she started acting, achieving considerable fame as the seductive platinum blonde Number Six in Battlestar Galactica. Six is a robot, but the kind of robot you’d give your liver for – tall, sultry and probably programmable to do all sorts of illegal stuff. Kindly, Trish posed topless in the February 2007 issue of Playboy.
