3. Mindy Kaling

Mindy Kaling has fought to get to where she is today. Even when she pitched The Mindy Project to television execs, she was told she wasn’t attractive enough to even play herself in the lead role. After making the jump from FOX to the Hulu network, the series was eventually set to be canned after the sixth season. But we have to give credit to Kaling for finding a way to remove herself from the shadows of her supporting role on The Office to headlining her own show. However, that still hasn’t been enough for her to get the praise she deserves.
