All these actors would have been chosen for thriller films as they are all attractive and vulnerable looking women who stereotypically should 'rely on men' and have little independence. The appearance of these actors is perfect for this stereotype, they all come across as if they would be at home, waiting for the men to come home. A typical stereotype of a woman in this genre of film is how producers bring curiosity and tension to the film, its almost like they use women as prey in thriller films.
