With today being the tenth anniversary for the release of the high school cult classic Mean Girls, we thought it would be a good time to check in on what the cast of the iconic film is up to a decade later.
1. Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan has been all over the tabloids in the 10 years since she starred in Mean Girls. While she remains in the news, her career has been in the gutter.
2. Amanda Seyfried
Amanda has worked in consistently for the past 10 years, starring in major Hollywood films such as Mama Mia. She is currently dating actor Justin Long.
3. Tina Fey
Tina Fey has become one of the most respected comedic talents in Hollywood today. She still cites writing Mean Girls as one of her proudest accomplishments.
4. Rachel McAdams
Rachel McAdams has worked steadily in the years since Mean Girls. She's starred in such Hollywood hits as The Notebook and The Time Traveler's Wife.
5. Lacey Chabert
Lacey has appeared in a number of successful film and TV projects since starring in Mean Girls. She is perhaps best remembered for providing the voice of Meg on Family Guy.
6. Jonathan Bennett
Jonathan Bennett has starred in several successful TV shows in the years since Mean Girls. He had recurring roles in Veronica Mars and All My Children.
7. Lizzy Kaplan
Lizzy Kaplan has experienced major career success in the years since Mean Girls. She currently stars in the Showtime series Masters of Sex.
8. Amy Poehler
Amy Poehler's career took off after Mean Girls. She currently produces and stars in the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation.
9. Daniel Franzese
Daniel Franzese continued to act but he has also carved out a successful career as an art curator. In 2014, he came out as gay.
While all the principal cast members are still working actors with varying degrees of success, boy did they choose some different paths with regard to their lives and careers!
Obviously Lindsay Lohan remains a tabloid mainstay ten years later with new reports of bad behavior seemingly surfacing every day. (Today's nugget: Lindsay is banging a married man!)
Conversely, Amanda Seyfried has avoided Hollywood excess and carved out a successful career for herself, at one point even stealing a part that was planned for Lindsay in the film Lovelace.
Amanda is dating actor Justin Long these days and she's earned a reputation as a reliable actress and down-to-earth star.
Tina Fey, of course, went on to create the long-running NBC sitcom 30 Rock.
Tina remains a pop cultural force to be reckoned with and cites the lasting impact of Mean Girls (which she wrote as well as co-starred in) as one of her proudest career accomplishments.
And with good reason. The film remains a beloved fan favorite not only for it's endlessly quotable script ("If you're from Africa, then why are you white?"), but also for the way it broke ground culturally.
Mean Girls is one of the first films targeted at teens to feature an openly gay character who's ridiculed only by the cruelest and most ignorant of his classmates.
That character - Damien - was "too gay to function" back in '04, but the actor who portrayed him, Daniel Franzese came out as gay just last week.
In a way, Franzese's coming out is a testament to how far we've come as a society in the ten years since the Plastics reigned over North Shore High.
