55 | !!Associated Tropes |
56 | |
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. |
