Line 376:
* Given the number of times [[Hayden Panettiere]] and Christina Milian have played [[The Cheerleader]], [[The CW]] missed a trick by not getting one or the other or both to make a guest appearance on ''[[Hellcats]]''.
* [[Stephanie Sheh]] will forever be known as the woman who voices [[Shrinking Violet|shy]], busty [[Moe]] girls who [[Naruto|have]] [[Bleach|crushes]] [[Haruhi Suzumiya|on the main protagonist]].
* [[Betty White]] tendstended to get typecast in a role and then subvertssubvert the typecasting in her next big role. Her role on the ''[[Mary Tyler Moore Show]]'' was a subversion of her earlier typecasting as a sweet, motherly type. In order to avoid the resulting typecasting as a bitchy, man-hungry character she chose to play the Ditz Rose on ''[[Golden Girls]]'' rather than the character of Blanche she was offered. She then subvertssubverted that typecasting by playing the character of Betty White on ''[[Ugly Betty]]'' as a [[MagnificantMagnificent Bastard]] who gets the better of the show's antagonist.
* Characters played by Mischa Barton usually tend to end up in relationships with other girls, at least briefly. The same is sometimes true for her [[The OC|OC]] girlfriend Olivia Wilde.
* Krysten Ritter usually plays bitchy characters with [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|a heart of gold]].
* [[Chloë Grace Moretz]] as a precocious [[Strange Girl]] who is almost always [[Wise Beyond Her Years]] (''[[500 Days of Summer|Five Hundred Days of Summer]]'', ''[[Hugo]]''), sometimes engages in [[Troubling Unchildhood Behavior]] (''[[Kick-Ass (film)|Kick Ass]]''),and is often somehow connected to the supernatural (''[[Let Me In]]'', ''[[Dark Shadows (film)|Dark Shadows]]'', the forthcoming ''[[Carrie]]'' and [[Emily The Strange]] adaptations).
* [[Shirley Temple]] was faced with this as she grew up and took on more mature roles as a teenager. Her acting career declined mostly as people came to associate her more as a cherubic little girl than a saddle -shoe-wearing bobby-soxer, and she couldn't shake off her reputation as a child star even well into her political and later diplomatic career, with sketch comedies such as ''[[The Carol Burnett Show]]'' [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GP7eGdxfZZ0 mocking] her bid for Congress, ''Stand Up and Cheer'' costume and all. She was fine with the legacy she left as a child actress, though.
