Rachelle Lefevre

Like many famous movie villains, actress Rachelle Lefevre received an enormous fan following after playing a vengeful vampire in "Twilight" (2008). The film was a monster hit, thanks in large part to the millions of die-hard fans who propelled its young cast out of obscurity and onto Hollywood's A-list. Already an accomplished feature film and television actress when she was still in her twenties, Lefevre studied savage lionesses of the desert in order to accurately portray the deliciously evil vampire Victoria in the movie and its 2009 sequel, "The Twilight Saga: New Moon." Yet nothing could have prepared the actress for the outpouring of support she received from the "Twilight" fan community after her role was recast due to scheduling conflicts in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" (2010), the third film in the franchise. While the fan petitions did little to sway the studio's decision to maintain Lefevre as Victoria, her portrayal in the first two films remained one of the most unforgettable and raw performances of any villain - male or female - ever seen on the big screen.
