68	!!This actress contains examples of:
69
70	* CreatorBacklash: Subverted. She felt ''Cursed'' could have been a good movie, and had fun making it.
71	--> "I don't know why that movie got so fucked up. I don't understand it. I thought the script was fine. Honest to god, I didn't get the big deal. I don't know who kept making them fuck with it..."
72	* TheDanza:
73	** She plays Judy in the MadeForTVMovie ''American Judy''.
74	** Almost in ''Film/TheDescendants'', where she plays Julie Speer.
75	* DawsonCasting:
76	** She plays a teenage girl at the age of twenty-three in ''{{Film/Jawbreaker}}''. This was intentional on the part of Darren Stein, who wanted to homage films like ''Grease'' and ''Carrie'', where high schoolers are played by actors visibly too old.
77	** Inverted for ''{{Film/Carrie 2013}}''. Miss Desjardin is said in the book to be a young teacher on her first job. Judy was in her thirties.
78	* DeletedRole: She had a larger part in ''{{Film/Tomorrowland}}'', where Casey's family would appear in several flashbacks. Her scenes had to be cut for time, and Brad Bird issued a public apology as a result.
79	* DoingItForTheArt: Took a massive cut from her usual salary to star in the sitcom ''Married'' because she loved the script so much.
80	* DyeingForYourArt: She was advised to dye her hair red for ''Film/LoveHappens'', fearing she looked too similar to Jennifer Aniston.
81	* IronyAsSheIsCast: She was surprised that she was cast as the former AlphaBitch in ''Film/ThirteenGoingOnThirty'', describing her teenage self as a {{Geek}}, with her character in ''Jawbreaker'' being closer to her real high school experience.
82	* MagnumOpusDissonance: Has said that her favorite role is actually Becky Freeley in a TV show called ''Miss Guided'' that didn't last long (seven episodes).
83	* MsFanservice: Not too often, but occasionally. A low-key but still noticeable example would be a series of Hilton hotel commercials she appeared in, especially the one where she wears a low-cut red dress and engages in bubbly pseudo-flirtatious conversation with a bartender. Kitty Sanchez on ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' is a subversion, however. ''Film/ThirteenGoingOnThirty'' has her wearing a flattering green dress for a sequence in a nightclub that's slightly vampier than what co-star Jennifer Garner has on.
84	* StatuesqueStunner: She's 5'8" and very pretty.
85	* TheOtherDarrin: In ''Film/RiseOfThePlanetOfTheApes'' Cornelia was played by stunt-woman and dancer Devyn Dalton. Judy played her in the second and third films.
86	* ThoseTwoActors: She and Creator/BryceDallasHoward have played sisters in both ''Film/TheVillage2004'' and ''Film/JurassicWorld''.
87	* {{Typecasting}}: Tends to play the female lead's best friend, that or [[ReallygetsAround girls who really get around]]. With Greer playing small roles as a concerned mom with little screentime in three big-budget 2015 movies, ''Film/JurassicWorld'', ''Film/AntMan1'' and ''Film/{{Tomorrowland}}'', plus ''Film/{{Entourage}}'', [[http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/07/judy-greer-effect-every-single-line-summer-movies most critics took a moment in reviews of one or both begging for Hollywood to give her a role that actually gives her something to do.]]
88	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
89	** For ''Film/TheSpecials'' she was considered for both Power Chick and Deadly Girl. They cast her as the latter.
90	** Ashley Ashton Morris was cast as Connie in the sitcom ''Mad Love'' but was replaced by Lizzy Caplan. When she dropped out, Judy came on board.
