Rachel Anne McAdams is a
Canadian actress. McAdams played the title role in the film
The Hot Chick alongside Rob Schneider, but her career really progressed when she starred as Regina George, the queen bee in 2004's
Mean Girls.
She was much older than the character she played. She followed
Mean Girls with the film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' novel
The Notebook, with
Ryan Gosling, with whom she would later begin an off-screen romance.
In 2005, she played Owen Wilson's love interest in
Wedding Crashers, and then starred in the suspense thriller
Red Eye as Lisa Reisert, where she played a young woman held captive aboard a red-eye flight by criminal-for-hire and assassin
Jackson Rippner (
Cillian Murphy).
In 2009, McAdams starred in Guy Ritchie's
Sherlock Holmes, based on Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle's classic stories. McAdams played the role of Irene Adler alongside
Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law. She
(sadly, only briefly, with future appearances likely ruled out) also appears in the 2011 sequel,
A Game of Shadows. Also in 2011, she starred as Becky Fuller in the cult comedy
Morning Glory, alongside
Harrison Ford and
Diane Keaton.
Also in 2009, played Clare in
The Time Traveler's Wife, based on the book, starring with Eric Bana.
Has an old school Hollywood beauty about her. Hell, just look to your right for an example. In fact, part of what helped her land her role in
Sherlock Holmes was her classic looks, which didn't make her look too young to be the love interest of Robert Downey, Jr.
