However, none of the roles were significant enough to bag her the mainstream popularity she needed to push her career forward.
Although she became a popular face in the industry with her portrayal of Peg in Foursome (2017), much didn’t change until she played Andrea ‘Dre’ Morgan in Happy Death Day 2U. It earned her more visibility; more roles followed, but it is widely believed that Melody in Texas Chainsaw Massacre is her breakthrough role. It’s hard to disagree with that as Yarkin had agreed the role was the first time she received top billing.
