43. Nikki Blonsky
Nikki Blonsky became an instant favorite in the 2007 film Hairspray. In the movie, Blonsky portrayed Tracy Turnblad, a bubbly teen who loved to dance. After enjoying the success of Hairspray, Blonsky continued to pick up gigs in Hollywood. However, she knew that she would, realistically, need to do something else in order to earn a steady income.
That’s when she turned to cosmetology. Whether she expected to get serious about this sort of career path or not, Blonsky has turned out to be quite the makeup guru and hairdresser, both stable jobs she holds down part-time in her hometown of Great Neck, New York.
