Saw that in her bio on here, and I couldn't help but laugh. Iconic? Seriously? She had whatfive lines in the entire film? A majority of her job was standing there, looking pretty, and getting naked in a scene. Not to mention, that was mostly her job in acting prior to American Pie. Any actress who is known for a nude shower scene in which she is raped by a killer snowman shouldn't be taken so seriously.
Either wayshe was never a good actress. Iconic is definitely over-shooting it just a bit -

I thought she was good in Scary Movie although her over the top sexiness might have made people not take that role seriously. She played a horrified beauty queen at one point and overage actress playing a teenager at other points.
Last week, I reactivated my Netflix account to catch up on all of the episodes of Breaking Bad. They have a mix of criminal drama with amounts of comedy situations related to crime (e.g Jessie Pinkman, Tuko, Tuko's uncle who can't talk) and stereo typical characters that are sometimes funny like Walker's lawyer Saul Goodman and his DEA brother in law, Hank Schrader. Shannon is from TX, Breaking Bad is set in Albuquerque New Mexico so I think she could pull off the looks department. Walter's lawyer said that he didn't need a wife, he needed a mole and I think Shannon would be awesome for this although having a mole would not be right for Walter, lol. -

Do you know what an icon is?
"a person or thing regarded as a representative symbol of something"
In this case,
her part
is an icon of the movie, American Pie. 'Has nothida0ng to do with how big a part, how well she acted or anything. Everyone I know, remembers the "iconic role of "Nadia" in the movie American Pie (1999)".
It doesn't state that Shannon is the icon. She played the part (Nadia) of it.
Sometimes ya gotta wonder. -

It's definitely an iconic and unforgettable role for many guys who have furiously pounded their puds over photos and clips of Shannon Elizabeth as that character on numerous nudie internet websites.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
