Linda Cardellini turns 35 today. Something about this chick just speaks to me, and I've figured out what it is: her looks. Actually it's her looks plus the hot nerd girl vibe she's been giving off since "Freaks and Geeks." Back when I was watching Scooby Doo cartoons if someone told me someday they'd make a Scooby movie with real actors and the girl who played Velma would be hotter than Daphne, even though Daphne was played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, I wouldn't have believed it. (Still, it would've been better than what someone actually DID tell me, which was "Quit watching that stupid cartoon and go out and get a job; you're a grown man fercrissakes." But I digress.) I think I'm just predisposed to nerd girls (or chicks who play them on TV) because subliminally you think you might have a chance with them. Anyway, click here for more pictures of Linda plus one man's short list of hot celebrity nerdettes...
