Pick Or Pass These Underrated Starlets And We'll Reveal Your Type

Everyone knows that making it in Hollywood is practically impossible, whether one is an actor, a singer, or a model. Only those who exhibit true talent and a strong work ethic stand a chance in getting anywhere at all.

Of course, some people get lucky. It doesn't take them long at all to secure the status of an A-list celebrity. And when they do, the world is at their feet. They're famous and rich. What's more, they're loved and admired by countless people all across the globe. Everyone wants to be just like them. In short, they've achieved the seemingly impossible. They're living the dream.

But there is a big difference between achieving recognition and gaining worldwide fame. For every A-list celebrity, there are dozens of stars that are far less famous. We still care about these starlets though, albeit not to the same extent that we care about the bigger names.

Of course, that is not to say that some of our favorite starlets won't ever become A-list celebrities. After all, pretty much all superstars were once unknown.

Usually, we ask everyone to pick or pass on truly famous stars before we match them with their type. This time, however, everyone gets to choose between underrated starlets.

Question 1

Dakota Fanning?

Dakota Fanning was only seven years old when she rose to fame for her role as Lucy Dawson in the drama movie I Am Sam. This role won her a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination, making her the youngest nominee in the entire history of SAG (she was eight at the time according to Wikipedia). Of course, that's not the only movie she has starred in to date. You might have also seen her in The Cat in the Hat, Man on Fire, and War of the Worlds.

Question 2

Anna Kendrick?

Anna Kendrick made her feature film debut in 2003 when she was featured in the musical comedy drama film Camp. She rose to prominence five years later, in 2008, when she was cast as Jessica Stanley in the very popular movie series The Twilight Saga. According to Wikipedia, she gained further recognition for her role as Beca Mitchell in the Pitch Perfect film series. Last year you might have seen her in A Simple Favor, whereas this year she has already appeared in The Day Shall Come and is also due to star in Noelle.

Question 3

Cobie Smulders?

Cobie Smulders is probably best known for playing the role of Robin Scherbatsky in the popular CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother. That being said, some might also link her to shows such as A Series of Unfortunate Events (in which she portrayed Mother or Mrs. Quagmire), Friends from College (in which she was cast as Lisa Turner), and Arrested Development (in which she starred as Lucille Bluth). If you're into superhero films, you might also recognize Smulders as S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill (Wikipedia).

Question 4

Nina Dobrev?

Nina Dobrev's first acting role was that of Mia Jones in the teen drama TV series Degrassi: The Next Generation.

Earlier this year she also made an appearance in the drama film Run This Town, according to Wikipedia.

Question 5

Aubrey Plaza?

The comedian, actress, and producer Aubrey Plaza is without a doubt best known for her role as April Ludgate in the popular sitcom Parks and Recreation.

Indeed, just this year she is due to star in two movies (although one of them is a computer animated film according to Wikipedia).

Question 6

Winona Ryder?

When most of us think of the 90s, we can't help but think of Winona Ryder.

She cemented her fame by starring in movies such as Mermaids, Heathers, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Edward Scissorhands, Reality Bites, and Girl, Interrupted. At the moment she portrays Joyce Byers in Netflix's Stranger Things.

Amanda Seyfried?

Have you ever seen Mean Girls? It's an iconic teen comedy that was released in 2004. It's also the movie that was Amanda Seyfried's film debut. In it, she played Karen Smith, Regina George's airhead best friend. It was a fairly forgettable role so it makes sense that Seyfried didn't really make it until 2008, which is when she bagged the role of Sophie Sheridan in the musical romantic comedy film Mamma Mia! (a role she later reprized in the film's sequel, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, according to Wikipedia).

Question 8

Anna Faris?

If you look under Anna Faris' filmography you're bound to come across films such as The House Bunny, Overboard, Just Friends, What's Your Number?, The Dictator, Observe and Report, Brokeback Mountain, and Lost in Translation. If you're a fan of the iconic TV series Friends (and to be perfectly honest, who isn't?) you might just about recognize Faris as the birth mother to Chandler's and Monica's twins in the show's final season (which was released in 2004 according to Wikipedia).

Question 9

Dua Lipa?

Dua Lipa is a singer and songwriter. She's not as famous as some of the other musicians out there but that doesn't mean that she won't get there someday soon. After all, according to Wikipedia, she did not start working on her debut album until 2015, which is the year she signed with Warner Music Group and released her first single which she titled "New Love".

Question 11

Leighton Meester?

The role of the cunning socialite Blair Waldorf in the famous teen drama TV series Gossip Girl (on air between 2007 and 2012) is the role that turned Leighton Meester into a relatively famous star. However, Meester has refused to stick solely to projects on the little screen. Indeed her filmography also boasts films such as The Roommate, Country Strong, The Oranges, The Judge, Of Mice and Men, and That's My Boy.

Question 20

Milla Jovovich?

According to Wikipedia, Milla Jovovich's numerous roles in action and science fiction films (such as The Fifth Element, Ultraviolet, and The Fourth Kind) prompted VH1 to dub her as the "reigning queen of kick-butt" back in 2006.

Question 32

Lena Headey?

No matter what Lena Headey decides to do next, most of us will probably forever associate her with Cersei Lannister, a character she portrayed on the popular fantasy drama TV series Game of Thrones. Still, it would be unfair to disregard all other projects she worked on prior to landing the pretty iconic role of the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. Indeed, her filmography also boasts films such as 300, Ripley's Game, The Purge, and 300: Rise of an Empire as well as the spin-off TV series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (in which she was cast as Sarah Connor according to Wikipedia).
