Who's That Girl? Meet "How to Make It in America" Actress Lake Bell

Who's That Girl? Meet "How to Make It in America" Actress Lake Bell


Complex's new weekly feature "Who's That Girl?" spotlights an up-and-coming woman we've got our eye on.

So on Sunday we checked out HBO's latest, How To Make It in America, and "the East Coast Entourage" (promise that's the last time we're ever gonna call it that) did not disappoint. Kid Cudi was a surprisingly good actor, and the homie Bryan Greenberg did his thing as well.

But the most pleasant surprise of the show was Lake Bell, who plays Greenberg's hot ex Rachel. Homegirl's been heating up screens both big and small for a minute, so we decided to have a look-see at 5 scenes made us keep an eye out for Lake Bell...

LOOKING HOT WHILE OBJECTING IN BOSTON LEGAL (2005)
• Carrying over her Sally Heep character from The Practice, Bell plays the sexy lawyer who doesn't mind mixing business with pleasure as she has an affair with the opposing lawyer, played by James Spader. Bell left the series in 2005, but if she came back we certainly wouldn't object. She may not say much in this clip, but with a face like that, does she have to? We rest our case.

RUNNING AROUND NAKED IN OVER HER DEAD BODY (2008)
• Bell plays the psychic current girlfriend of Paul Rudd in this film, who is haunted by Rudd's dead girlfriend (Eva Longoria Parker). With Bell and Longoria in the plot, we figure screenwriters could have worked a threesome somewhere in there to save this movie from flopping.

PART OF A LOVE TRIANGLE IN UNDER STILL WATERS (2009)
• L.B. was just about the only bright spot in this clunker about a rich girl who marries a scheming architect who's out to off her. Check the NSFW trailer here.

PLAYING ALEC BALDWIN'S HOT YOUNG WIFEY IN IT'S COMPLICATED (2009)
• Bell plays the current wife of Alec Baldwin, who rekindles a relationship with his ex-wife (Meryl Streep). Cheating on Lake Bell with Meryl Streep? Riiiight, no wonder people say Hollywood is out of touch.

INTRODUCES HER CHARACTER RACHEL IN HOW TO MAKE IT IN AMERICA (2010)
How to Make It in America may be one of HBO's hits like Entourage, or a flop like Tell Me You Love Me, but if they put in some sex scenes with Ms. Bell—we'll tune in.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BONUS: TALKING TWITTER ON JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE (2010)
• In this clip, Bell talks about Tweeting on everything from big ass NYC rats to bull penises. May not be as good as a twitter fight, but it beats those girls who Tweet about their period or what they found out at the gynecologist.

    sorry - she is just an ultra poor man's version of Amanda Peet with a ton of manly features thrown in - i believe she used to troll the meat packing district with the other he-shes.

    All I kept thinking while watching the show was "Fuck that Rachel bitch, just pipe down that chick that writes for Nylon." Now she was an A+ bust down. :::shrugs:::
