20 Actors Who Had To Wait DECADES Before Hitting Big

Kathryn Hahn certainly had many fans before she came a genuine star, but it's also fair to say that she was a consistently underappreciated actress for years and years before finally getting her due.

Hahn ascended to genuine mainstream popularity with her Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated performance as Agatha Harkness in 2021's WandaVision, though she actually began working as an actress on stage and the occasional screen credit in the late '90s, ensuring a near-quarter century journey to stardom.

Hahn certainly had memorable roles prior to this, such as in Step Brothers, Afternoon Delight, Parks and Recreation, Bad Moms, and the TV series Transparent, but it wasn't until the 2020s that the wider world finally got to see the full force of her immense talents on a blockbuster stage.

Hahn's career has basically gone from strength to strength ever since, and it frankly couldn't have happened to a more deserving performer.
