Line 135:
* Paris Hilton, to such a degree that "See Paris Hilton being gruesomely murdered!" was the [[Dancing Bear|unique selling point]] for the 2005 version of ''[[House of Wax]]''. The album of John Ottman's score for the film calls the cue for that scene "Paris Gets It" - even though Miss Hilton's character is called Paige.
** [[Repo! The Genetic Opera|You can also see her face fall off!]]
* [[Julia Roberts]] tends to be [[Type Cast]] in a narrow range of roles, in which she is so consistently a [[Love It or Hate It]] personality that "JulieJulia Roberts movie" is almost a genre.
** Like Tom Cruise, she seems to have crossed some event horizon into whatever is beyond acting. She is the entity called Julia Roberts. Sometimes this entity makes a film. The advertising posters will declare Julia Roberts to be in a film. The public will base their decision on whether or not to see this film solely on this fact...eerie.
* [[Angelina Jolie]] is the premiere—somepremiere — some say ''only''—action heroine of Hollywood action heroine. Any film she is in (e.g., ''[[Tomb Raider]], [[Beowulf (film)|Beowulf]], [[Salt]], [[Mr. and Mrs. Smith]]'') are more about watching Angelina play the part of sexy action hero then watching sexy action heroes.
** Then again, half her movies are dramatic... which fit more with her real life persona!
* At one point, [[Jennifer Aniston]] wanted to appear on one of her favorite shows, ''[[24]].'' The producers refused, saying that she was so well known, it would kill the effect, instead of seeing the character, they'd see Jennifer.
** This may be averted with her exceedingly [[Playing Against Type]] role in ''[[Horrible Bosses]]''.
* [[Jodie Foster]] is always an unassuming woman that'll put up with a bit of abuse before kicking some ass. Whether it be [[Silence of the Lambs|a man that makes suits out of human skin]], [[Flight Plan|a terrorist kidnapping her daughter]] or [[The Brave One|shooting a man in the face to get her dog back]]. It just doesn't matter.
* [[Dakota Fanning]] is always Dakota Fanning. [[Tom Cruise]] being in this trope as well had a weird effect on ''[[The War of the Worlds (2005 film)||The War of the Worlds]]''. Essentially, the central characters are Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, and [[I Am Not Spock|Robbie]]. And while everyone else in ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' is in [[I Am Not Spock]] mode, Jane might just as well be named Evil Dakota Fanning.
* Speaking of child stars, [[Shirley Temple]] is always a [[Cheerful Child|Cheerful]] [[Heartwarming Orphan]] who sings and dances. Four of her characters were actually [[The Danza|named "Shirley"]]. Like Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts, Shirley Temple has passed the event horizon into the realm beyond acting. The real Shirley Temple went on to do some grown-up roles which no one remembers, retired from acting, become a diplomat, and iswas still85 livingyears inold herwhen eightiesshe died. But the pop culture entity of Shirley Temple is forever locked in time to her twee 1930s child self.
