Eliza DushkuEliza Dushku, star of Dollhouse, was never a one to play with dolls. At least not in the traditional sense. She liked action figures and used to rip the heads off of her Barbie dolls. In fact, the young tomboy was sometimes mistaken for a boy. She recalls people telling her mother that she had four handsome boys; Dushku's mother would respond with, "That one's a girl!"

As a kid, Dushku liked climbing trees, camping, and playing touch football. Today, Dushku gets most of her exercise from running. She says "Going running makes me feel emotionally better and emotionally healthy." She also enjoys yoga, and credits the activity with helping her quit smoking. But she hasn't let her tomboy ways slip away; Dushku enjoys hunting which, of course, ruffled some feathers at PETA.

Though she may be a tomboy at heart, Dushku's fit physique is all-woman. Dushku once said "You have a better chance of seeing God than seeing me naked." And, well ... she might have gone back on her word, but Eliza Dushku sure looks fit and sexy!

Last September, Dushku competed in her first triathlon. Along with many other celebs, she competed in the Nautica Malibu Triathlon which benefited the Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Dushku said the race was "pure adrenaline" -- and it paid off; she finished third in the woman's celebrity division -- ahead of Jennifer Lopez.
