Taylor also starred in The Wedding Singer, with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, and received much attention for her performance as Marcia Brady in The Brady Brunch Movie and its aptly named sequel, A Very Brady Sequel.

Upcoming, Taylor has a cameo in the romantic comedy Dedication, starring Mandy Moore and Billy Crudup, and co-stars opposite Lisa Kudrow in the comedy Kabluey, which will premiere at this year's Los Angeles Film Festival. Her other film credits include such films as Desperate But Not Serious, for director Bill Fishman; Kiss Toledo Goodbye, starring Robert Forster, Michael Rapaport and Christopher Walken; and Adam Rifkin's Denial. She has also appeared in Andrew Fleming's The Craft and Overnight Delivery, starring Reese Witherspoon and Paul Rudd.
