American actress Minka Kelly, 30, has been named 'Sexiest Woman Alive' by Esquire magazine for 2010. In the November issue of the magazine she talks about her transition to fame from a scrub nurse. Kelly currently guest stars in the NBC primetime series Parenthood.

Kelly now joined the likes of Angelina Jolie, Kate Beckinsale, Halle Berry, Charlize Theron, Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Biel who were named as the sexiest women alive by Esquire in the past.

Minka, the only child of former Aerosmith guitarist Rick Dufay and exotic dancer and single mother Maureen Kelly, was born in Bishop, California.

The Friday Night Lights star in an interview with Esquire said, “I’ve never done a sexy photo shoot before. I’ve never really honestly tapped into that side… It was really liberating. It was exciting. I would look at the pictures, like, that’s me?”
