Regina George makes all other mean high school girls seem timid in comparison. The beautiful queen bee of the fictional high school that she rules was amazingly portrayed by Rachel McAdams.

Reedus was then virtually handed creative control of the character, becoming one of the most complex and emotive characters in television today. We love you, Daryl!
