Israeli actress Gal Gadot was honored as one of Maxim Magazine’s Hot 100. The magazine announced its yearly list on June 17.

Gadot, who was crowned Miss Israel in 2014, is best known for playing the comic-book heroine in the blockbuster 2017 film Wonder Woman. She will also appear in a sequel, Wonder Woman 1984, slated to be released in 2020.

Gadot played smaller roles in a number of films leading up to Wonder Woman, including a supporting role in the Fast and Furious franchise.

Maxim includes in its list not only actresses, but beauties from all walks of life, including athletes, social media models and singers.

The magazine says its choices aren’t based only on looks.

“There’s physical beauty, sure. But that was only part of our attraction algorithm. As a general rule, the women who caught our eye bring something else to the party, succeeding in their chosen field against long odds through sheer determination, raw talent, and a willingness to put themselves out there,” the magazine said.

The woman who headed the list his year is actress Olivia Culpo.
