Melissa Benoist

Her big break came with Supergirl, which ran from 2015 to 2021 and made her a central figure in the Arrowverse. In between, she starred in Patriots Day, Lowriders, and Sun Dogs, and in 2018 she played the wife of David Koresh in the miniseries Waco. That same year she made her Broadway debut as Carole King in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. She is also a musician, and she wrote a middle-grade fantasy novel called Haven's Secret, which she published in 2021 with her sister and Mariko Tamaki. The book was named a Kansas Notable Book in 2022.

Off screen, she has been open about her mental health. She has discussed her own struggles with depression and anxiety, which started when she was 13, and she helped launch the IDONTMIND campaign in 2017 to reduce stigma around mental health. She married actor Chris Wood in 2019, and they had a son in 2020. Her Instagram following stands at 4.2 million today. She identifies as straight, has brown hair and blue eyes, stands 5'8", and has a slim build with real, natural breasts. She has three tattoos: a bicycle on her left foot, a feather with the word "free." on her neck, and a wolf on her left wrist. She is known for performing topless in her work, including her role as Stacy Moore on Homeland.
