57	* AlliterativeName: '''P'''arker '''P'''osey.
58	* BrilliantButLazy: Her role in ''Party Girl'' showed her as a typical 90's slacker who was capable of doing more.
59	* DeadpanSnarker: Almost every role she's in.
60	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Nearly all of her movies got theatrical releases in Australia, including 1997's ''Clockwatchers'', which premiered in Australia a year before its American release. In 2016, a commemorative film festival titled "In Praise of Parker Posey" occurred in the country.
61	* OlderThanTheyLook: She does ''not'' look like a 54-year-old woman.
62	* PlayingAgainstType: She played TheDitz in ''Film/SupermanReturns'', going against her usual, intellectual character type. Also, even though that character worked for ComicBook/LexLuthor, she was actually much nicer than many of her characters... even the law-abiding ones.
63	** Her character in ''Film/WaitingForGuffman'' is a naïve, amiable victim of SmallTownBoredom.
64	** In ''Series/LostInSpace2018'' she plays a gender-flipped Dr. Smith, the beloved comedically evil and cowardly EnsembleDarkhorse of the original series.
