Paramount PicturesLet it be known that Caroline Krafft, the Mathlete of all Mathletes is probably one of the most underrated Mean Girls characters around. She's right up with Glen Coco, Kevin G. and the "I just have a lot of feelings" girl. Let it also be known that Caroline Krafft need not change for anyone, either. 99-cent lip gloss is nothing to be ashamed of. Also, let's toast to snaggleteeth while we're at it. Did we mention she was leading the way for body positivity in the early '00s with her unplucked eyebrows? Damn right.
As dope as she is, Caroline Krafft, sadly, was just a character, who actually looks nothing like the actor who played her. We're certain, however, Clare Preuss, the 38-year-old who got the honor of blessing us with Krafft, is equally as cool. In case you're wondering, she's been up to quite a lot since Mean Girls.
For starters, without all that extra Caroline hair and makeup, you might not even recognize her if she walked by you in a Mathletes competition. You might, having now seen what she looks like above, recognize her from her role as Stacey from The Prince and Me, however. Preuss sure has great taste when it comes to choosing to act in (not so) guilty pleasure movies. According to IMDb, she is currently filming a project titled We and previously held roles in Loser with Jason Biggs and Mena Suvari.
You can also catch her in Urban Legends: Final Cut, once you're done watching her other films. She's so much more than a mathlete from Marymount in an outfit picked out by a blind Sunday school teacher. In other words, the fan love for Miss Krafft has a limit that does not exist. How many Mean Girls jokes did that make, by the way? 300? The limit on those does not exist either. Lord help us. Save us from ourselves and the overwhelming power of Mean Girls quotes.
