10 Things You Didn't Know About Lizzy Caplan

7. She Was Considered "Too Beautiful" For Her Mean Girls Role

A career-defining moment for Lizzy Caplan was undoubtedly when she played the role of Janis Ian in the critically acclaimed 2004 movie Mean Girls. Janis was a goth girl who was part of the group of outcasts, which also included Daniel Franzese's Damian Leigh and Lindsay Lohan's Cady Heron, who planned to ruin the life of the popular Regina George (Rachel McAdams) and Caplan played her to perfection - but she almost didn't land the role at all. And the reason behind her almost missing out on the chance to play the role that shot her to stardom? She was originally considered to be too beautiful by the movie's producers. Hardly an insult though, is it?
