Amanda Seyfried Says ‘Mean Girls’ Was Her Best Work: Is She Right?

Amanda Seyfried has been getting a lot of attention recently for her latest films Lovelace and Les Misérables. However, the 27-year-old actress is proudest of her work in Mean Girls, which she filmed when she was 18. In that Tina Fey-written comedy, Seyfried played ditzy Karen Smith alongside Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams.

Seyfried told Indiewire, “I still look back at Mean Girls as my best work. I was so innocent. I was so green. I look back and I’m like, ‘Really, I thought I was doing a terrible job.’ But it was written so well and so wonderfully directed. Mark Waters (the director) made me look good; he made me funny. And Tina Fey wrote the coolest script of all time. I’m so grateful for every experience.”

And perhaps Seyfried has a point. The Los Angeles Times wrote, “Apart from the Abba musical movie hit Mamma Mia, Seyfried hasn't seen all that much success in leading roles. We're looking at you, Red Riding Hood, In Time, Jennifer's Body and Letters to Juliet. So should we really be surprised that Mean Girls is her favorite claim to fame?"
