If The Girl on the Train's Haley Bennett Looks Familiar to You, This Is Why

Everett Collection

Emily Blunt is the star of The Girl on the Train, but the adaptation boasts two other strong female leads played by Rebecca Ferguson and Haley Bennett. The former (though less recognizable with that blond hair) has starred in everything from the acclaimed miniseries The White Queen to Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation. The latter, however, might be harder to place. Bennett has has small parts in films like Marley & Me and The Equalizer, but she's also had a handful of meaty roles. If you couldn't figure out why she looks so damn familiar (aside from her resemblance to Jennifer Lawrence), here are six movies you may have seen her in.

01

Music and Lyrics

Bennett got her big break in 2007 as Cora Corman, the Taylor Swift-like pop star with whom Hugh Grant's character collaborates in an attempt to revive his career.

02

The Haunting of Molly Hartley

Bennett played the titular character in this 2008 thriller costarring Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford.

03

The Hole

She's also in that weird horror movie about a hole of literal fears you've been meaning to watch on Netflix.

04

Kaboom

Bennett starred in this 2010 college-set comedy alongside Juno Temple, Thomas Dekker, and Chris Zylka.

05

Hardcore Henry

This 2015 sci-fi film is like a shot of straight adrenaline. It may be so fast-paced that you didn't even notice Bennett as Henry's scientist wife, Estelle.

06

The Magnificent Seven

Bennett is basically competing with herself at the box office right now. She plays Megan, the revenge-seeking wife of Matt Bomer's character in the Western.
