How Mean Girls Almost Negatively Impacted Amanda Seyfried's Career
Amanda Seyfried opens up about how Mean Girls almost negatively impacted her career, revealing it nearly pigeonholed her acting choices. Seyfried starred in the 2004 teen comedy as Karen Smith, a member of the ruthless popular girl clique known as the Plastics who is the sweeter but ditsier of the group. Loosely based on Rosalind Wiseman's Queen Bees and Wannabes self-help book, Mean Girls revolves around teenager Cady Heron who transfers to a public high school after being homeschooled in Africa and learns of the chaos that comes with teenage social cliques.
