In spite of the Tolkienian name, Bloodgood isn't a hobbit, or an elf, or a faerie, or any other mystical creature. She's a flesh and blood human with a Dutch/Irish father and South Korean mother to thank for her whimsical moniker and exotic good looks. The 33-year-old had an early stint as a cheerleader for the Mordor -- sorry, Los Angeles Lakers before scoring bit parts in various films and TV shows. Her break came with recurring roles in the short-lived ABC drama "Day Break" and the NBC sci-fi flop "Journeyman."

Now you can catch her as a resistance fighter in the upcoming fourth Terminator flick "Salvation." Check out our gallery to see why Moon Bloodgood has a name, and a face, you won't forget in a hurry.

    Nothing wrong with this pic. A flimsy white dress, a low-cut neckline and a pretty smile. Pleased to meet you, Ms. Bloodgood!

    And something equally tantalizing in black for those who like their nerd-fantasy figures a little gothier.

    Or perhaps you'd prefer that look in red, for a bit of Latin-flavored passion.
