Meet ‘John Carter’s’ Martian Princess Lynn Collins

The sci-fi extravaganza "John Carter" -- based on the classic book series by Edgar Rice Burroughs -- is a familiar title. But the leading lady, Lynn Collins, is less well known: The actress, who co-stars with Taylor Kitsch in the adventure flick, is grabbing the spotlight for her skimpy costumes -- and getting some looks on the Web. Searches on the star have climbed 1,000 percent on Yahoo! in the past week alone, thanks to her starring role.
In the Disney film, Collins plays the Martian warrior Princess Dejah Thoris. The fantasy stars Kitsch as a Confederate captain from the Civil War who is transported to the red planet, where he becomes involved in an epic conflict among various nations, whose leaders include Thoris. The website Hollywood.com claims that the rising star's "beauty, grace, and adeptness with a sword will not leave your consciousness even long after you leave the theater."
