Virgo Celebrity Photos
Beyonce (September 4, 1981)
This R&B diva exemplifies the Virgo quest for perfection, specifically in appearance. Beyonce's always-changing hairstyles and her cutting-edge taste in clothes proves that just showing up and handing in a good performance isn't enough; you must be an icon. Her fashion phases -- some might call it fashion ADD -- proves: Virgos are never satisfied, and always aim to improve.
Cameron Diaz (August 30, 1972)
Quirky glamour queen Cameron Diaz not only brings that uncanny Virgo wit to her film roles, she also admits to a few characteristically Virgo flaws: being a little too fastidious. Virgo is the neat freak sign, and Diaz has confessed to getting treatments for obsessive compulsive disorder and an extreme phobia of germs.
Claudia Schiffer (August 25, 1970)
Although her beauty is almost supernatural, it's clear that this German supermodel is an Earth sign: before being "discovered" at a nightclub, her dreams were academic -- she was studying law. On the runway, she parlayed her good looks into savvy business sense and a multi-million dollar fortune and has since settled down to become the chicest mom on the block.
Hugh Grant (September 9, 1960)
This British Isles charmer is the go-to guy for dependable romantic lead in a comedy -- he is, after all, a Virgo, one of the most reliable of the signs. As an Earth sign, his style is very grounded and practical. He plays a convincing everyman, able to file down his dashing good looks to play lovelorn characters.
Keanu Reeves (September 2, 1964)
Although he proved his comedic chops in classics like Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Keanu embodies the thoroughly Virgo interest in communication of ideas by starring in high-concept hits like the Matrix trilogy, cult fave My Own Private Idaho and even the romantic if mind-boggling The Lake House. And any Keanu fan knows that his gaze is penetrating and no-nonsense, much like his sign.
Michelle Williams (September 9, 1980)
Mercurial Virgos make great actors -- not only can they mimic well, but this Sign is known for its studiousness and practicality, so turning in a solid performance minus the prima donna act is a Virgo forte. This describes Michelle Williams perfectly. Her high-profile romantic life aside, Williams is low-key and consistent, always blending in with her characters.
Lance Armstrong (September 18, 1971)
Virgos are often attracted to medicine and the healing arts, and through concentrating so vigorously on training and endurance, Lance Armstrong became one of the most prominent symbols for physical strength and health, and also cancer awareness. In typical Virgo fashion, Armstrong has directed his activism interests by founding his own organization, the Armstrong Foundation, to improve the lives of those affected by cancer.
Mark Harmon (September 2, 1951)
A Virgo plays an excellent straight man, and that's been Mark's stock in trade: whether being hilarious simply by being real in Summer School, or getting cast in one of the quintessential Virgo professions -- doctor -- on Chicago Hope, Mark's proven that Virgos often make the best actors of them all.
Michael Jackson (August 29, 1958)
Virgos are famous for being practical, but the late, great Michael Jackson personified another of the sign's qualities: the "changeable earth" element. Although grounded, Virgos often use their powerful minds to figure out a better way of living with the resources given to them. That might be why the King of Pop opted to fulfill a childhood dream of living in an amusement park, his Neverland Ranch.
Rachel Hunter (September 9, 1969)
The former Mrs. Rod Stewart and perennial "hot mom" has honed the Virgo's critical eye: As a host on Make Me a Supermodel, a British show similar to America's Next Top Model, her rigid and quick-thinking led to high-profile and entertaining feuds with some of the contestants.
Richard Gere (August 31, 1949)
It may be surprising that big screen hunk Richard Gere suddenly became more famous for his humanitarian efforts than his acting, but it's very Virgo to tune in on an issue and turn your mental powers to solving it. In Gere's case, these problems include lack of human rights in Tibet and the global AIDS crisis.
Salma Hayek (September 2, 1966)
Often, the Virgin symbol represents those who can afford to be selective in love and career. This is Hayek; the Latina beauty started out as a telenovela actress and has used a keen business sense to choose roles that are important to her, like that of artist Frida Kahlo, and to found her own production company, Ventanarosa.
Sean Connery (August 25, 1930)
The original James Bond has a glint in his eye that shows he is oh-so-Virgo: witty and discerning. After all, he was the first to tell us how to make a martini right. Whether playing a suave spy or a hermit novelist, Connery is never less than put together. Even as true Hollywood royalty, the man keeps his private life just that, embodying true Virgo reservation.
Stephen King (September 21, 1947)
The horror king perfectly channels Mercury, Virgo's ruling planet, which oversees communication. After decades at the typewriter, Stephen King has managed to perfectly tap into our innermost fears, and knows exactly how to produce maximum chills. And the massive pagecount of most of King's books hint at another Virgo quality: attention to detail.
Tommy Lee Jones (September 15, 1946)
This Harvard alum turns in deep performances, and his Earth sign makes him ideal for portraying the grounded everyman. Although he has an unassuming presence on-screen, Tommy Lee Jones' characters are often deeply layered and nuanced. But that wicked Virgo wit breaks through occasionally -- remember his portrayal of Agent K in Men in Black?
