At this point, there's no doubt that Dakota Johnson [1]'s most famous role is Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades movies. She signed up to be forever associated with the franchise when she first starred in Fifty Shades of Grey [2], and now that Fifty Shades Darker [3] has arrived, she's back in Ana mode. Having said that, it's not the only place you've seen her. Johnson has been starring in movies for over a decade. In fact, her very first onscreen appearance was a role alongside her mother, Melanie Griffith, in 1999's Crazy in Alabama. She took a break (to grow up and stuff) and returned to acting 11 years later. Here are nine places you may have seen her non-BDSM-related work!
The Social Network
Johnson caught a big break with a small part in David Fincher's 2006 movie about Facebook. She plays Amy (full name Amelia), the girl who wakes up with Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake [4]).
Beastly
The next year, she appeared as Sloan in the teen-friendly Beauty and the Beast adaptation Beastly.
21 Jump Street
Then she popped up in 21 Jump Street alongside Channing Tatum [6] and Jonah Hill [7] as a member of the undercover cop squad.
The Five-Year Engagement
She even dates Jason Segel [8] in this 2012 romantic comedy! (Spoiler alert: it doesn't last.)
Ben and Kate
This Fox comedy only lasted one season, but we still miss her brother-sister dynamic with Nat Faxon.
Need For Speed
This 2014 action flick was supposed to be a star vehicle for Aaron Paul (many puns were made), but it flopped at the box office. Nonetheless, if you watch it, you'll see Johnson as Anita.
Black Mass
A few months after the release of Fifty Shades of Grey, Johnson appeared as Johnny Depp [9]'s love interest in the mobster biopic Black Mass.
A Bigger Splash
Johnson starred with Tilda Swinton, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Ralph Fiennes [10] in this 2016 thriller set in Italy.
How to Be Single
Then she dipped her toe back into rom-coms with 2016's How to Be Single costarring Rebel Wilson.
Of course, she'll always be Ana to us.
