At number five, turns out this isn't her first time attending the awards. She told us at the event she’s actually been there quite a few times.

"I presented the AFI Award to Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck, and my dad," she said. "And the fact that I’m now a recipient is beyond my wildest dreams."

Coming in at number four, she took a 14-year break from acting between 1991 and 2005, only to come back stronger and better than ever in Monster-in-Law.

Number three, her very first workout video was incredibly successful. According to her blog the 1982 fitness vid sold more than 17 million copies and was inducted into the Video Hall of Fame, making her the first non-engineer to receive the honor.
