The star played the adorable and ditzy Karen Smith, who confesses in the movie that she could predict the weather by holding her breasts.

Though many will always remember her "I'm sick" bit in the movie, what she will never forget is how men reacted to her character, who would reenact Karen Smith's signature gestures back to her.
She recalls: "I always felt really grossed out by that. I was like 18-years-old. It was just gross."
It didn't take her long to realize that while she certainly wanted to continue her acting career – and she's successfully done so – fame on the other hand is not what she found most appealing about a Hollywood career.
