The least successful Mean Girl...


Both Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried went on to become much bigger stars and headline major theatrical releases( McAdams' latest, Doctor Strange, is breaking records worldwide) while Lacey's pretty much been stuck doing TV movies, spots on sitcoms, and voice work for animated shows and video games.

Too bad, she's pretty good looking and is a good actress...

And yes, I'm aware Lindsay Lohan's career is at rock bottom now but she did that herself, really, when MG was made she was the biggest draw and pretty much the star.

I personally think she's happy where she's at right now. She doesn't seem like the type who likes the spotlight.

reply

I'm sure she's happy with B movies and Lifetime channel stuff, but considering how successful other Mean Girls stars went onto become, her career has to be considered a disappointment.

Its true, I thought her performance was quite good in Mean Girls. I have wondered why her career never took off.

She surely makes a nice pay check doing B movies and Lifetime Channel programming, but she has to be somewhat disappointed.

At least she's doing much better than Lohan

Probably her lack of willingness to do nudity of any kind. McAdams, Seyfried and Lizzy Caplan were all willing to do films or pay TV with some nudity.

She might have also made enough money in the 10 years before Mean Girls that she just didn't have the interest or drive to be a "star" and preferred just steady paychecks vs. competing for being a top starlet (and the nudity involved).

It's debatable how far should could have gone anyway -- she's pretty, but is she really that great of an actress? Maybe some of it is that she just never was seen as talent.

For an actress, she's a very successful career since Mean Girls.

In her personal life, still can't believe she dated, much less married that fat Iranian guy. He must be rich.

She’s in a Hallmark movie every other day. Not sure what that pays but she’s not hurting by any stretch of the imagination.

Plus Hallmark gives her the big budget ones, with shooting in Rome or whatnot.

I have to disagree. Lohan career is nowhere these days. McAdams had a few leading roles as Seyfried is probably the biggest star of all of them now. Chabert seems to be Hallmark top female star right now. Getting steady work is hard in the acting business no matter what the pay is.
