Melanie Lynskey tells Megan Nicol Reed she's happy to be "stalking" Charlie Sheen.

"Always the bridesmaid, never the bride . . . " It's the story of Melanie Lynskey's decade-long career.

And in Coyote Ugly and Sweet Home Alabama, she played the small-town, homely best friend to Piper Perabo and Reese Witherspoon's sexy leads.
