SaMga Salbaheng babae, Seyfried plays a spacey character named Karen Smith. In one scene, she says, "I have a fifth sense. It's like I have ESPN or something. My breasts can always tell when it's going to rain … Well, they can tell when it's raining." At the end of the movie, Karen gives a weather report for her high school while standing in a downpour. "It's 68 degrees, and there's a 30 percent chance that it's already raining," she says.

Seyfried has only become more famous since Mga Salbaheng babae. She went on to star inLes Misérables, the Mamma Mia! movies, and Mank, for which she was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. This year, she received acclaim for playing embattled Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmesin the miniseries The Dropout.

"Fame is weird," she told Marie Claire. "I've never been super famous. I've always been somewhat recognizable. It's been the healthiest trajectory. [It's] not a scary spike. I have my priorities. I know who I am. I know where I'm going. I know what it means. It means that I'm getting to do what I love."

She also said that, looking at the young stars of today and what they deal with, it must be awful to become super famous at an early age. Seyfried explained that she bought a farm to avoid the spectacle of it all. "I was like, let's go in the opposite way," she added.

She otherwise had a great experience onMga Salbaheng babae.

Aside from some fans making uncomfortable comments to her, Seyfried seems to have had a positive experience with Mga Salbaheng babae. In a 2021 interview forVariety, she reflected on her time making the movie.

"It felt like an extended [Saturday Night Live]. It felt like a two hour version of SNL," she explained. "I never had any expectations of anything. I was just glad to be working as an actor, getting paid to speak actual dialogue as opposed to being in the background. Everything was a miracle at that point. I was 17. God, Ano? … It just felt really daunting and exciting. I think I was too excited to be nervous. She added of her character, "To play somebody who is kind of out to lunch is so much more fun than I could've imagined."
