Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfied and Lacey Chabert grounded the movie as members of The Plastics – teen royalty of North Shore High School.

“I haven’t [rewatched it]. It’s on often enough though. I love it. I really love seeing my face on people’s T-shirts. I’m a little resentful because Paramount still owes me some money.

Twenty years after it first premiered, Mean Girls remains one of the most iconic teen movies of all time. That’s thanks in large part to its incredibly talented young cast.
