I think Grace Van Dien’s biggest standout role is Chrissy in Stranger Things. Even though she was only in a few episodes, so many people remember her character because she was actually super relatable and brought something sweet and real to the show. I loved how she made Chrissy more than just a popular girl stereotype—there was a lot more to her, which you could see in her scenes with Eddie.

But she also did a great job as Katie in The Village. It’s not as famous as Stranger Things, but her character deals with a lot of tough stuff like pregnancy and family drama. She even learned to crochet on set so she could be more like her character, which is really cool and shows she cares about giving an honest performance. Another role that’s important is when she played Sharon Tate in Charlie Says. It was short but tough, and she actually talked about how hard it was because she wanted to do it right for a real person. You can tell she puts a lot of emotion and effort into her acting.
