** To a lesser extent, as a pregnant woman in ''Film/NewYearsEve''. She relished not having to worry about her figure during filming.
** She also played Creator/VeraMiles in a small role in the ''{{Film/Hitchcock}}'' biopic.
* PlayingWithCharacterType: She plays her usual type...in the 1930s for ''Film/EasyVirtue''.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Lost two roles to Creator/AnneHathaway -- Fantine in ''Film/LesMiserables2012'' and Selina Kyle in ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises''. She reportedly was confident she would get the latter, and was devastated when Hathaway was cast in the part.
** She was among one of the actresses considered to play Black Widow in ''Film/IronMan2'' when Creator/EmilyBlunt had to drop out. Of course it went to Creator/ScarlettJohansson.
** ''Accidental Love'' was intended to be a breakout role for her. But financial issues caused it to be shelved and eventually released on VOD. Most critics viewed it as wasted potential.
** She auditioned for the role of Claire in ''{{Film/Elizabethtown}}'' and got cast as Ellen instead.

Not to be, but sometimes (somehow), confused with Creator/JessicaAlba in spite of looking nothing alike - and even though they've both appeared in at least one movie together (''Film/ValentinesDay''). And in fact commercials for ''Film/BladeTrinity'' couldn't air because they mistakenly advertised Jessica Alba as starring.
