Rachelle Lefevre is a closet nerd

While Rachelle Lefevre, the star of CBS’ “Under the Dome” (returning June 30) always appears red-carpet-ready, she’s actually a huge geek. The Montreal-born actress, 35 — whose show is about a town mysteriously encapsulated by an invisible dome — is a big sci-fi fan. She recently watched 60 episodes of “Battlestar Galactica” in three weeks.

Season 1 of “Under the Dome” was a big success, but that’s just the Louboutin on top for this shoe addict. “I can’t believe I star in something that was adapted from a Stephen King novel!” says Lefevre.

One of Lefevre’s biggest claims to fame is her role as a vampire, Victoria, in the first two “Twilight” movies, but it’s not necessarily her favorite. “For me, characters are like boyfriends when you’re in your 20s,” she says. “I really love the one I’m with, and then when we break up, I love the next one.”

So what does she think is her sexiest quality? Laughter. “I try to remind myself that even if I gain five pounds, as long as I feel good, no one will give a s–t.”
