October is a special month in Hollywood. It marks the birth anniversaries of some of its most beautiful leading ladies.

Neve Campbell
Cake 'n' candles: October 3, 1973

This Canadian native aspired to be a ballet dancer. But her dreams were short-lived owing to injuries.

After a stint in Canadian television, Campbell starred in the dark drama, The Craft. But real recognition came only after she played a damsel in distress in the hit slasher hat-trick, Scream, Scream 2 and Scream 3.

Her latest film, The Company, directed by Robert Altman, saw her turn writer as well. The Company, produced by Campbell herself, revolves around a ballet dancer Ry (played by her).
