January Jones

Growing up in Sioux Falls, S.D., 1,000 miles from the nearest ocean, January Jones yearned to be a marine biologist. So it's no surprising that the 31-year-old actress is enthralled with one of the sea's biggest fish. "Sharks are perceived as monsters," Jones told InStyle, but in reality, they are "intelligent and beautiful." To raise awareness about the vital role shares play in marine ecosystems, Jones got involved with Oceana, an organization dedicated to protecting the world's oceans. Naturally, she was a bit frightened before her first big dive in the Bahamas, but she posited, "Hollywood sharks are a lot scarier than the ones here."
