Lane (1999). Her breakout role was the horror film parody Scary Movie
(2000). The 5'5" Faris is a natural blonde,[but dyed her hair black for
the filming of Scary Movie and Scary Movie 2 so that her character more

Scream, one of the films that Scary Movie parodied.

in the final season of the popular American sitcom Friends. She also was
in the critically acclaimed film Lost in Translation—in which she plays
an actress promoting the fictional action movie Midnight Velocity.
