When actress Lizzy Caplan starred as Janis Ian in 2004's Mean Girls, she became cemented forever into gay lexicon as the punk bestie we always wanted in high school. Now, as pioneering researcher of human sexuality Virginia Johnson in Showtime's hit series Masters of Sex, she is our new must-watch TV fave. The show follows Johnson and her oft-salacious affairs with fellow researcher Dr. William Masters (Michael Sheen) and the rise of their success — from their humble Midwest beginnings to gracing the cover of Time magazine. Follow Pride for all the latest on the sexy and historical show we can't get enough of!
