Currently, the youngest white female cast member is newcomer Lauren Holt, who was born in 1991 (when Abby would have been four years old).[[/note]] and the first cast member who was the child of a former cast member.

28!!Tropes in her work:
29
30* TheCastShowoff: Made use of her singing skills by playing pop stars (most notably Music/ChristinaAguilera, but she's played other pop singers too, like Melissa Etheridge, Music/{{Kesha}} [[note]]whom Elliott plays up as a strung-out ValleyGirl who actually takes her songs seriously, citing them as "not parodies" when Weird Al Yankovic -- played by Andy Samberg -- referred to her as "the reigning queen of parody songs"[[/note]], Music/KatyPerry, K.D. Lang, Sarah [=McLachlan=], and Jewel) on ''[=SNL=]''. She had a recurring bit as Creator/ZooeyDeschanel, and manages to mimic her voice rather successfully (the only other cast member to mimic Deschanel's voice accurately was short-lived season 39 cast member Creator/NoelWells, who also had the benefit of looking similar to Zooey Deschanel as well, but, sadly, the writers didn't capitalize on it like they did with Abby Elliott).
31* CuteButCacophonic: Her portrayals of Khloe Kardashian, Anna Faris, and Joan Cusack (especially Anna Faris, who sounds eerily like the real Faris, and Joan Cusack, who doesn't sound like Cusack at all).
