Julie Bowen: Career Retrospective

She’s an All-American cutie who also happens to be laugh-out-loud funny. Let's look back at her career, which spans the silver and small screens.

In Disney’s sequel to the hit 'Planes,' Bowen spreads her wings by playing Lil’ Dipper, a spirited super scooper.

As horrible boss Kevin Spacey’s hot wife, Bowen plays a sexy devil in a blue dress.

As Adam Sandler’s love interest, Bowen is remembered for wearing skimpy lingerie while holding pitchers of beer. Also known as every man’s fantasy.

Bowen’s role as Claire Dunphy, the frazzled mom on ABC's hit show, has won her two Emmys… so far.

Rob Lowe headlines this film, a political satire where Bowen plays a reporter. Who gets to make out with the still-hot Rob Lowe.

As the recently deceased and progressively decaying Amy, Bowen finally gets to play a role where she’s ghastly and gory, not adorable. (Okay, so she’s still kind of adorable.)

Bowen plays another character named Amy. Who is presumably not deceased and decaying.

Tim Allen discovers that his ex, whom he was told died a horrible death, is very much alive -- and engaged to Kelsey Grammer. Crazy fun!

Bowen stars with Tim Allen again, this time playing a wellness coordinator who helps Allen feel better after being beaten up by a bully at work.

In this oddball romantic comedy based on Ben Taylor's novel, Bowen plays one of four girlfriends who meet up again at the funeral of their beloved soccer coach.

This sci-fi comedy about a man (Michael Keaton) who clones himself in order to deal with multitasking features Bowen in a minor role -- something she wouldn’t be offered today.

After she graduated college, Bowen had a recurring role on this ABC daytime series, which also starred some guy named Bryan Cranston.
