At just 17 years old, Amanda Seyfried booked her breakout role in Mean Girls as Regina George’s bimbo minion who could predict the weather with her boobs. Blue skies were ahead for Seyfried, who went on to land leading roles in movie musicals from Mamma Mia! to Les Misérables. More recently, she portrayed Elizabeth Holmes in the Apple TV+ series The Dropout.
