In 2005, she appeared in the film “Lucky 13”, alongside Kaley Cuoco and Harland Williams, and the next year, she appeared alongside Tom Cruise in the film “Mission: Impossible III”.

After that, her career climbed up another level, and she featured in productions such as “Yes Man” (2008), “Tenure” (2009), and “He’s Just Not That Into You” (2009), among others, all of which increased the overall size of her net worth.
