Even though Melanie Lynskey has always been busy, it wasn't until 2019 when she was in her early 40s that she found international fame. As the adult Shauna in Showtime's "Yellowjackets," Lynskey plays a complicated woman with a dark past and, it seems, a darkness within. The show wasn't on anyone's radar, but as the first season was released, it became a hit — by the end of the first season, it was the second most watched show on TV. 

Lynskey didn't think the show would be so big — that is, until she spoke to her psychic. "This sounds so crazy, but I talked to a psychic, who I love, and she told me this was gonna happen," she told InStyle. "It had been months and months since we shot the ['Yellowjackets'] pilot, and she said, 'That show's gonna get picked up and it's gonna be really big, and you're gonna enter into a time in your career that you thought, if this didn't happen when you were 25, it was never going to happen. It's about to happen.'" And that is exactly what happened.

The show's success meant that Lynskey experienced a new level of fame and attention. "I think I've just kind of been under-the-radar, like, it's a bit nerve-wracking for me to be more public now," she explained. With the second season of "Yellowjackets" even more popular than the first, we can bet her profile will only continue to grow.
