Often compared to Goldie Hawn (or her daughter, Kate Hudson), this comely but quirky stage-trained actress toiled in anonymous TV guest spots until she landed a regular role on
The Huntress. In 2005, she turned heads with a scene-stealing performance as a dull-witted party girl in the big-screen romantic comedy
Must Love Dogs. The next year, after a decade in the biz, Spiro snagged her breakthrough role as a sports writer/tomboy looking for love on
My Boys, a
Sex and the City-style series.
