Posey clocks less than five minutes of screen time in Richard Linklater’s breakout masterpiece, and yet, as savage teen empress Darla, she’s essential, far surpassing the tropes of the high school movie mean girl. In Dazed & Confused — and again one year later in Sleep with Me — Posey and fellow legend Joey Lauren Adams cruise around town, commandi...
Posey is often cast as a nemesis, or dark other, to a fellow Scorpio: with Toni Collette in Clockwatchers, Emma Stone in Irrational Man and Meg Ryan in You’ve Got Mail. Of course, we’re supposed to root for Ryan’s sweet children’s bookstore owner, but it’s Posey’s publishing house powerbitch we all really want to be. Like Emily Blunt stealing The D...
There’s likely no better fit for brassy, intrepid reporter Lois Lane than Parker Posey. But, in our timeline, Margot Kidder’s immortal part was inherited by Kate Bosworth. Meanwhile, Posey got to chew scenery on boats as Lex Luthor’s lush henchwoman Kitty Kowalski. Posey was reportedly the only choice for the role, which she described as “a smaller...
It takes a very good actor to play a very bad actor, and, as evinced by Maude Apatow’s theater-kid gulag on Euphoria, shows within shows can get tiring real fast. But as a guileless Dairy Queen employee with regional theater dreams in Waiting for Guffman, Posey rides her character’s humiliation to eternal glory. In the bleak Hollywood satire For Yo...
Clockwatchers follows four wayward temps as they endure and evolve through the purgatorial drip of office labor.

But her subtle, noble metamorphosis is spurred on by Posey, as an unwilling agent of chaos who can’t keep out of trouble. Posey’s characters often th...
The House of Yes is a tiny film, based on a play, funded entirely by Aaron Spelling, and, incidentally, co-starring his daughter Tori. You’ll likely not remember her performance, or much else of the movie, besides Parker Posey armed with pearls and a gun. As a Jackie Onassis obsessive with an incestuous fixation on her twin brother, Posey practical...
Posey told The New Yorker that Fiona, her high-camp music industry baroness, was “directed toward that audience of bratty, prepubescent girls who just want to get their teeth in and be a little meanie-pants.” But as the archvillainess behind a government conspiracy to control teens through mass MTV consumerism, she’s so much more than a mid-budget ...
“Did you provoke her?”In Guest’s most-beloved movie, Posey represses her natural exuberance for taupe luggage, braces, and L.L. Bean. Gone is the style, sensibility and joie-de-vivre, and Posey, now a turtleneck yuppie nightmare, vibrates with apoplectic suffering. Before the scourge of girlbosses and Karens, Posey was terrorizing retail employees,...
Scream 3 is an uncanny chimera that feels like two movies: While Neve Campbell fights for her life in an epic conclusion on par with Return of the Jedi, Courtney Cox and Parker Posey run around studio lots in a bonkers, batshit slapstick comedy. We’re talking about the greatest satire of the film industry ever made, the plot of which — a horror mov...
