10 Female Actors on the Rise

9. Naturi Naughton

Critics may have dismissed “The Playboy Club” last season, but Naturi Naughton caught people’s attention. The Broadway vet and former member of girl group 3LW has worked steadily in multiple media (she was Lane Pryce’s Playboy bunny mistress on “Mad Men”) and can be seen on Lifetime’s guilty pleasure “The Client List,” where she’s a welcome presence amid the sometimes tawdry plotlines. It’s a matter of time before she lands a show worthy of her talents. (Photo by Michael Desmond)
