Keri Russell (Felicity Porter)

Then: Keri Russell played Felicity Porter, a smart girl who turned down attending Stanford’s acclaimed pre-med program to follow her high school crush, Ben Covington, to the University of New York. While in the Big Apple, Felicity comes into her own, maturing and becoming a grounded, independent woman as the show progresses.

Now: After Felicity, Russell starred in 2006’s Mission Impossible III with Tom Cruise, playing a fellow MI6 agent. She made mid-2000s cameos on Into the West and Scrubs, and hit the big screen in 2007’s August Rush, 2013’s Dark Skies, and 2014’s Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Her most recent projects include a starring turn in the FX drama The Americans and a role in The Free State of Jones, an upcoming movie set during the Civil War.

Power Couple: Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys

She’s been America’s sweetheart since the “Felicity” days. He’s a handsome Welshman with the Richard Burton gene for charisma and charm. Russell and Rhys have scored knockout performances during the past three seasons as a pair of covert Soviet spies in a terribly complicated marriage on FX’s 1980s-set drama “The Americans.” After two years of playing a multitude of characters on the show, love blossomed when the wigs and costumes came off. Russell and Rhys are now often seen out and about in New York with Russell’s young children. And the pair are inseparable at industry events, which can only have FX execs thanking their lucky red stars.
