It’s just that lady.
It was a blast.”
I had no idea that I would actually get the job," she recalled.
“It’s melodrama.
It’s a different style of acting that … normal people don’t act that way.
I like soap opera acting.
If it’s done really well, there’s nothing better.
It’s old school.
It’s like what those melodramas in the ’30s and ’40s were like.”

“And you know, she danced a lot.”

Posey played Libby Mae Brown, who worked at the local Dairy Queen when not pursuing her theatrical aspirations.
“I cried in the van and Chris held my hand.”
She collaborated with Guest one more time in “Mascots,” his 2016 Netflix comedy series.
Despite her experience in all those improvised comedies, she remained unconvinced of her own abilities within that milieu.
“I still don’t think I’m actually good at it,” she toldThe Guardian.
“It’s like a f***ing miracle when I finish a scene.”
The film proved to be a giant hit, bringing in a quarter-billion at the box office.
“I wasn’t really getting offered anything good,” she said.
She reiterated those career struggles in a 2015 interview withThe New York Times.
“Hollywood just doesn’t know what to do with me,” she complained.
“And it’s not for lack of trying.”
“That was really fun,” she toldComicbook.comin 2023 of her experience on “Scream 3.”
I loved him, and that was fun.”

And continue to …’ I hope so.
I would love to do that,” she added.
In the third film in Wesley Snipes' “Blade” franchise, Posey played a vicious vampire.
As Parker conceded, playing a vampire was certainly a change of pace for her.
“Usually I don’t get cast in horror things like this,” she added.
“Don’t have the boobs for it, you know?
So I’m just showing up, saying my lines, having fun with it.
And Wesley isn’t.”

Her next role as a television series regular came in 2018 with Netflix’s “Lost in Space.”

Are you serious?’
It was shocking to me,” she said.
“I loved this character, Dr. Smith.
He seemed so unique.”
Speaking withIndieWire, Posey admitted she was thrilled to be part of a project that she felt emanated positivity.
“It has a lot of heart and it’s emotional and I think that’s really cool.”
She also appeared in some films, including “Beau is Afraid” and “Thelma.”
All of which led to the third installment of “The White Lotus.”
When the season premiered, Posey was heaped with praise for her performance as Victoria Ratliff.
“Victoria, is she in Taiwan or Thailand?
She doesn’t know,” Posey toldBustle.
Posey, however, felt that could be circumvented by setting the White Lotus hotel in the Swiss Alps.
“So, I think Jennifer Coolidge should play that part,” she said.
“Can you see it?”
