Fans are realising they recognise Samantha Quan, who accepted Anora\u2019<\/a>s best picture Oscar, from one of the most beloved rom-coms of all time.<\/p>\n

At the Academy Awards<\/a> at the weekend, the Independent film Anora scooped the coveted best picture award<\/a>, along with four other major awards, including best director, best editing, best original screenplay and best actress for <\/a>Mikey Madison<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Accepting the best picture award was Canadian actress and producer Samantha Quan, who produced Anora alongside her husband Sean Baker who directed the film.<\/p>\n

Although she has been applauded for producing three of her husband’s films, Quan was previously an actress and appeared in several popular TV series, including CSI: Miami, House, and Elementary.<\/p>\n

Most notably, fans are realising that she was a minor character in How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days<\/a>, an iconic romantic comedy that was released in 2003.<\/p>\n

The film focuses on a journalist, Andie Anderson (Kate Hudson<\/a>), who is writing an article about how ‘to lose a giy in 10 days’ and targets Benjamin Barry (Matthew McConaughey<\/a>) for her article, a man working in advertising who happens to have made a bet that he can make any woman fall in love with him in 10 days.<\/p>\n

In a minor role in the film, Samantha appears as one of Andie’s coworkers Lori who is incredibly ‘upbeat’.<\/p>\n

In one scene of the film, Lori says in a meeting: ‘Well, the botox for beginners piece is done now, It’s a little scary but mostly upbeat! <\/p>\n

‘Now I’m on “What your gyno won’t tell you,” which is also pretty scary. But, you know, upbeat! <\/p>\n

‘I finished my research on deadly pedicures about the woman who contracted that fungus from the unsterilized tools. It’s a terrible story. Although, surprisingly, upbeat!’<\/p>\n

In another scene, she is the coworker to announce to Andie that Ben has sent her huge bouquets of flowers.<\/p>\n
