If you need a heavy hitter to add some pizzazz to your onscreen ensemble, call Kathryn Hahn. The actor, best known for her scene-stealing comedy roles, recently made waves online after confirming she’ll portray the villainous Mother Gothel in the live-action Tangled adaptation alongside Teagan Croft as Rapunzel. The role is a pitch-perfect fit for her career so far, which has ranged from beloved 2000s rom-coms to award-winning comedy series.

Fans will recognize Hahn from her first big supporting role in the Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey romantic comedy How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, followed by flicks like Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! and The Holiday. Her part in Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy was followed by roles in comedies like Step Brothers, We’re the Millers, The D Train, and Bad Moms. Hahn has also occasionally landed in drama films like Revolutionary Road and Private Life (more about that below). And she’s lent her voice to animated movies like Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

On TV, Hahn made her mark as a guest star on series like Parks and Recreation, Bob’s Burgers, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. She also took on leading roles in series like Transparent, Mrs. Fletcher, and WandaVision, the latter of which got a spin-off, Agatha All Along, with Hahn reprising her role as the witch Agatha Harkness. Most recently, she starred alongside Seth Rogen, Ike Barinholtz, and Catherine O’Hara in the satirical comedy The Studio, which won the Actor Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.
