Few actresses have the charming appeal of Kristen Bell. Since debuting in Polish Wedding over 20 years ago, Bell has ascended to become one of the most universally recognizable films and TV star. While she's very well known for her work in television, including the cult-classic series Veronica Mars and her much-buzzed-about role in The Good Place, Bell also has a very distinguished filmography. Here are our picks for a few of Bell's best roles, as well as few that might have slipped under your radar!
Where are all the fellow Marshmallows at? Indeed, it's hard to think of another character as synonymous with Bell as Veronica Mars! First airing in 2004, Veronica Mars is Bell's most extensive role to date. The amateur super-sleuth has appeared in four seasons and 72 episodes thus far, most recently continuing her story-arc in the 8-episode return in 2019. The character has also appeared in several spinoffs, including Veronica in the FBI, Play it Again, Dick, and the 2014 feature film adaptation. Catch the series only on Colors Infinity.

It's hard to argue the impact The Good Place is currently having on Bell's career. This series is not only critically acclaimed and popular among viewers, but it also marks the first time Bell has been nominated for a Golden Globe! Catch the same on Comedy Central India.
In the series House of Lies, Bell plays Jeannie Van Der Hooven, who is a partner at a management consulting firm. She and her cohorts, played by Don Cheadle, Ben Schwartz, and Josh Lawson are extremely driven and will do just about anything to close a business deal. The show is a quick and clever portrayal of slippery, amoral businesspeople.
Without a doubt, Bell's highest-grossing film was the 2013 animated movie Frozen. Bell provided the voice of Princess Anna, the sister of ice queen Elsa. Anna's optimism and warm nature was the perfect match for Bell's voice and the film became an instant classic. Frozen has grossed more than $1.2 billion.
Anytime a character is iconic enough to crossover to multiple films, you know they're onto something good. For Bell, her character Sarah Marshall appeared in two films in many years! Bell first appeared as the title character in Forgetting Sarah Marshall as the girlfriend from hell who causes her ex Peter to flee to Hawaii and meet someone new. Bell reprised the role in Get Him To The Greek two years later, albeit in a much smaller capacity as a cameo appearance.
