Amanda Seyfried’s Enduring Affection for “Mean Girls

Amanda Seyfried will forever cherish and honor “Mean Girls.” In a recent interview on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, Seyfried, who played Karen Smith in “Mean Girls” at the age of 17, reminisced about the enjoyable filming experience and expressed her gratitude for the film’s positive impact on her career. Host Josh Horowitz began by noting the film’s continued relevance, saying, “Until the day you die, a 14-year-old girl will come up to you every day and quote you as if it just came out the day before.” “I hope they quote it on my grave,” remarked the “Letters To Juliet” star. “That’s an organic moment. It was, in many ways, a perfect movie, and people relate to it, still. It connected us, and it continues to. I will always be excited to talk about it,” she explained. “Any day, I’ll honor that movie for what it did for me as a person,” she added. The film, written by Tina Fey, starred Seyfried as part of a group of popular high school girls, including Rachel McAdams and Lacey Chabert. Lindsay Lohan played a new transfer student who attempts to befriend The Plastics and becomes entangled in a rivalry with Regina George (McAdams). “I truly think the experience of making it has nothing to do with how well it did, for sure,” Amanda Seyfried shared. “I think the experience for me is very specific, because I’d never been in a movie before. I’d never been on a set like that before. And I was working with people who had. So, for me, it was just, everything was new.”
