20 Things You Somehow Missed In The Big Lebowski

One of the most well-known indie artists of the late '90s was none other than Aimee Mann. No doubt big fans of hers, the Coens leapt at the opportunity to give her a small part in their film. She can be seen in the diner scene playing one of the Nihilists (the nine-toed one, to be precise).
