Rebecca Hall Despite critically acclaimed performances in "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" (2008) and "The Town" (2010), 30-year-old actress Rebecca Hall is not yet the A-list star she should be. That may change in 2013, when she's slated to appear as biologist Maya Hansen in the certain summer blockbuster "Iron Man 3." Hall will also appear with Eric Bana in the August thriller "Closed Circuit."—XFINITY Entertainment Staff (AP Photo/Chris Pizzello)
