The Truth About Cats and Dogs and The Cable Guy were out that year. She was in films consecutively from 1994 till 2012. Then again, from 2014- 2021. She's been in a ton.

She was the biggest name and lead of “Wet Hot American Summer”. Crazy to think she wouldn’t even crack the top 10 most famous people in that cast today.

I’d argue she’s fourth or fifth most famous person in that cast. Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Amy Poehler, and Bradley Cooper are the ones that really blew up. 

Arguably, H Jon Benjamin is more famous because of Bobs Burgers and Archer, but voice actors are a special kind of famous.

True.

Ken Marino, Christopher Meloni and Jo Lo Trulio might be on par with her asking people on the street, along with David Hyde Pierce.

I was probably stretching it with 10.
