Earlier this month, the actress also opened up about navigating her career after co-starring in the cult classic.
“Mean Girls got me on the map, it really got my foot in the door,” she told Variety. “But getting pigeonholed was the thing you had to fight. Back in 2004, I had to be really careful to not just be ‘the pretty blonde.’ So, at the very beginning of my career, if I hadn’t done Big Love,’ I was going to be Karen Smith. All the auditions I had for my first pilot season were just, like, blonde girl friends. I wasn’t going to be the lead, because for whatever reason I didn’t fit into that. I don’t know what it was.”
