In 2001, Hollywood decided to revive a beloved franchise with the Josie and the Pussycats film. While the film didn’t clean house at the box office, it became a surprising cult classic. Let’s look at the cast of this film and see where they’ve been up to lately.
Tara Reid
While shooting the film, Tara Reid became a household name with her work in American Pie. Nowadays, she’s a pillar in the cult franchise, Sharknado. The New Jersey native has also found herself behind the camera on several projects. Along with fellow Jerseyan Rob Hawk, she produced the bullying film, Worthless.
