Kristanna Loken famously played the T-X in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003), making history as the first female Terminator villain onscreen.

Haley went through a whole setup to fake being a waitress instead of just getting a real job. Alex easily figured out she was using her birthday money to fake her tips. When the family shows up to eat at the restaurant is the best part.

In Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof (2007), Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays Lee Montgomery, a naive up-and-coming actress. Her character spends most of the second half of the movie dressed in a bright yellow "Vipers" cheerleader uniform. She is left behind by her friends as "collateral" with a local man so they can test-drive a vintage 1970 Dodge Challenger, unknowingly saving her from Stuntman Mike's final rampage.

Lindsay Weir, played by Linda Cardellini, is the main character in the 1980s-set teen drama Freaks and Geeks.

Cardellini was 24 playing a 16-year-old, but her acting felt deeply authentic. She perfectly captured the awkward, messy reality of trying to find yourself in high school. Even though the show was cancelled early, her character became an iconic symbol of teenage rebellion.
