Melissa McCarthy looks every inch the respectable young lady in this picture, but it's only because the photographer caught her outside of one of her rebellious phases. In interviews, she's said that she went from being a cheerleader and a tennis player one year to getting into rock music the year after. At one point she'd cut her hair short, and dyed alternate parts of it black and blue. By the year of her graduation, she was voted 'Most Punk' in her class. She must have made a special effort for the picture.
Just as she can change her appearance with ease, McCarthy can also change up her talents depending on how she wants to make her money on any given day. She's famously both a comedian and an actress, but she's also a fashion designer in her spare time. Time Magazine named her as one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2016, and we don't think her influence has waned any since then.
