Melanie Lynskey
Melanie Lynskey was in one of my absolute favorite movies, But I’m a Cheerleader. Of course, you probably know her from one of her more popular movies: Up In The Air, The Informant!, Sweet Home Alabama, or Ever After (just to name a few). Plus, she’s recurring in one of the best popular comedies on television, Two and a Half Men (Winning! Duh! Am I doing it right?). She’s also supposed to be in the upcoming adaptation of The Perks of Being a Wallflower, which I know we are all apprehensive about but I think she’ll do a great job!
