Jane Goldman

Jane Goldman (aka Jonathan Ross's wife) is not only a very beautiful woman but she's also one hell of a writer (you probably didn't know this even if you knew who she was, you were probably distracted by something). She started off writing for magazines and newspapers including the legendary GameZone and Sega Zone. She later wrote a series of non-fiction books for teenagers and the The X-Files Book of the Unexplained. She even wrote a crime thriller novel called Dreamworld.


If you know her for anything other than being married to that lucky git Jonathan Ross it will be for Jane Goldman Investigates, a pretty decent TV show presented by Goldman that looked into the world of the occult and spirituality. That's not all she's done with TV though, she appeared on Gamesmaster back in the 90s and more recently she produced The Big Fat Quiz series of shows from 2004 to 2013.


If the classic game stuff isn't enough to give you a nerd-boner and you don't think Jane Goldman is awesome yet: she also co-wrote some awesome movies including Stardust, Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Days of Future Past. She also wrote the screenplay for The Woman in Black, which is in my eyes one of the best modern horrors as it doesn't count on jump scares to alert you (not scare you) and is genuinely creepy and frighting.


She also co-wrote the screenplay for the best looking movie of the year so far, Kingsman: The Secret Service. This movie looks so amazing, with the exception of Marvel movies it's the movie I'm most excited about seeing this year so far.
