Amanda Seyfried's Greatest Hits lists
Mean Girls'' (2004): Playing dumb isn't easy but Seyfried deserves high marks for playing a cheerleader so dim-witted, she thinks her breasts can predict the weather. Tina Fey wrote the teen comedy co-starring Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams.
''Veronica Mars'' (2004): Seen solely in flashbacks, Amanda's character was dead when the WB series began but it was her murder that fueled the title crime-solver ( Kristen Bell) during the show's first season.
''Nine Lives'' (2005): A hit at Sundance, the anthology drama proved Seyfried could hold her own alongside such heavyweights as Sissy Spacek, Holly Hunter, Glenn Close and Kathy Baker.
'' Big Love'' (2006): The HBO series about a family of polygamists ( Bill Paxton, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Ginnifer Goodwin, Chloe Sevigny) gets a boost from Amanda's quietly intense turn as a teenager who is horrified to be growing up in a cult.
''Alpha Dog'' (2006): Seyfried co-starred as a La-La Land party girl in a true-crime thriller that threw a spotlight on the case of So Cal drug dealer Jesse James Hollywood ( Emile Hirsch). Co-stars included Amanda's teen crush, Justin Timberlake.
'' Mamma Mia'' (2008): Belting out ABBA songs and playing second fiddle to Meryl Streep is not a bad way to make your starring film debut. It was Amanda's face that graced the film's poster and her voice that helped turn the musical and its soundtrack into a mammoth ''Money, Money, Money''-maker.
