She relocated to the United States to play Julia Salinger in the teen drama television series Party of Five (1994–2000), which became her breakthrough role .[ 1] She then rose to international prominence for her leading roles as a witch in The Craft (1996) and final girl Sidney Prescott in Scream (1996), both of which were blockbuster horror films .[ 2] Scream established her as a scream queen and spawned the Scream franchise , in which she reprised her role in every film except the sixth .[ 3] [ 4] She won two Blockbuster Entertainment Awards for Favourite Actress in 1998 and in 2001 , and was twice nominated for both the Saturn Award for Best Actress – winning in 1997 – and the MTV Movie Award for Best Female Performance – winning in 1998 .
After leaving Party of Five in 2000, Campbell expanded her profile by starring as an outcast student in the thriller film Wild Things (1998) and a love interest in the drama film Panic (2000).[ 5] [ 6] She earned critical praise for her performances as a ballet dancer in the drama film The Company (2003), for which she also produced and wrote the story,[ 7] and as a femme fatale in the independent film When Will I Be Loved (2004).[ 8] [ 9] She made her West End theatre debut in a version of Arthur Miller 's Resurrection Blues (2006) before announcing a hiatus from film, expressing her dissatisfaction with the roles she was being offered.[ 10] [ 11]
