28	!!Tropes associated with Rachael Leigh Cook include:
29	* AdamWesting: She reprised her infamous PSA role when it was parodied on ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken''.
30	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: The poster girl for doe-eyed brunettes everywhere.
31	* FryingPanOfDoom: The "This is your brain on drugs" PSA has her use one to smash up a kitchen.
32	* HollywoodHypeMachine: She got a pretty big push in the late-1990s, early-2000s era, as Hollywood wanted her to be the next big star- magazines, TV shows, and anything else celebrity-related followed suit, but then ''Film/JosieAndThePussycats2001'' happened. And that was it. All she's gotten since then are parts in other failed movies and roles on TV, though at least unlike some victims of the Hype Machine she has been working steadily and hasn't turned into a celebrity joke. She's also landed one of the main roles in ''Series/Perception2012''.
