54* MsFanservice: In ''Series/TrueDetective'', where her full nude scene made everyone take notice. Even [[UsefulNotes/BarackObama the President]]. (There's actually a [[Website/{{Reddit}} subreddit]] devoted ''just to that scene''.) Also in ''Film/TexasChainsaw3D'', ''Film/SanAndreas'', and RealLife, as she is also a model. And she starred in the 2017 ''Series/{{Baywatch}}'' movie... (which sees her working with Creator/DwayneJohnson. [[Film/SanAndreas Again.]]) She is clearly aware of being potentially typecasted as this kind of character and will occasionally poke fun at this status, mainly through [[https://i.imgur.com/WYI0K8h.jpeg her]] [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bwfj1puCMAE-3g1.png Twitter]]:
