On October 3 – a date that MEAN GIRLS fans will recognize – actress Amanda Seyfried visited the 21st ZFF, bringing smiles to the faces of those at Sechseläutenplatz.

Regarding her portrayal of the historical figure Ann Lee, the actress said, «The difficult thing was portraying someone who lived in the 18th century and started a religious movement. But with Mona's help, I managed to bring our version of Ann Lee to life.»
