Though she’s been working steadily for almost a decade now (her filmography lists over 30 movies and television shows), Kristen Bell has only recently stepped into the public’s consciousness thanks to her work in several high-profile projects. Though she kicked off her stint on Heroes in 2007, Kristen Bell’s role as Elle Bishop grew increasingly prominent as the series progressed, and this, coupled with her scene-stealing work in the comedy hit Forgetting Sarah Marshall, was instrumental in her 2008 rise from anonymous starlet to bona fide “It” girl.
