Amara Karan of "The Darjeeling Limited"

As savory snack hostess, Amara Karan's part in Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited is undeniably small, but ridiculously delicious. Karan owns the screen when she's on it. The youngest Whitman brother -- played by Jason Schwartzman -- takes one look and knows he needs to have her. His desire is understandable. Rita wears glasses, she speaks with a surprisingly haughty English accent, and is enormously sexy.

Darjeeling co-stars Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, and Adrien Brody are an arresting visual spectacle, but Amara Karan adds a lovely grace note to the chaos.
