After her debut in an episode of Disney's The Famous Jett Jackson (1998), she co-starred in the Canadian TV series Slings and Arrows (2003), a comedy-drama about the trials and travails of a Shakespearean theater group, and won a Gemini award for her performance in 2003. Rachel McAdams was nominated for an Oscar in the best supporting actress for her role a Sacha Pfeiffer in The Academy Award winning Spotlight.

She was in Mean Girls as Regina George, but she shot to stardom as Allie in the Notebook.

I really liked her on True Detective. She's a very good actress. And gorgeous of course.

Spotlight movie thread
Spotlight Blu-ray thread

I just saw Spotlight it was one of the best movies I have ever seen absolute 10/10. I was wondering how they how the could make a movie about investigative journalism compelling but I was absolutely riveted, it did for the clergy sex scandal what All the Presidents Men did for the Watergate scandal.

This thread just makes me think of the absolutely insane number of ridiculously beautiful actresses who are from Canada. I mean, think about it: There are about only 6M Canadian females between 15-39. And once you start looking at the actresses from Canada, it starts to become sort of amazing.

BTW, I'm going to watch Spotlight tonight/this morning once the LPGA golf coverage is over. Though it looks like Sexy Lexi Thompson is running away with the tournament (which is a good thing, since she's one of my favorite players).

She went to the same college/university I did, and during the same years (okay, even though we started at the same time, she graduated way earlier than I did. I procrastinated and needed another few years to finish). Never met her though. I always stick up for my fellow alumni.

She seems very cool. I'll bet she would have been fun to hang out with.
