Australian actress Angourie Rice has taken on one of her biggest challenges yet — filling Lindsay Lohan's shoes as Cady Heron in the new Mean Girls reboot.
Playing the iconic transfer-student-turned-teen-queen would be enough of a challenge in itself. But the new Mean Girls film is also an adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, which means the role now demands a certain vocal prowess to nail the performance. Thankfully, it's safe to say that Rice angelically delivers.
But Angourie Rice's long list of achievements doesn't stop at Mean Girls. At just 23, Rice has already co-authored a novel titled Stuck Up & Stupid, acted onstage for a production run at Melbourne Theatre Company, and worked alongside big names like Zendaya, Tom Holland, Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe.
So, if you've been wondering where you've seen her before, then you're in luck. We've rounded up a comprehensive list of movies and shows that you may recognise Angourie Rice from.
Here's where you might have spotted her:
1. At the age of 10, she starred in short film Mercy (2011).
2. In 2012, she received praise for her lead role in the award-winning short film Transmission.
