"It was a strange experience, making a love story and not getting along with your co-star in any way."<sup><a href="#cite_note-51">[51]</a></sup> At one point, Gosling asked the film's director <a href="/wiki/Nick_Cassavetes">Nick Cassavetes</a> to "bring somebody else in for my off-camera shot" because he felt McAdams was being uncooperative.<sup><a href="#cite_note-notebook_combative-50">[50]</a></sup> Stephen Holden of <i><a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times">The New York Times</a></i> praised the "spontaneous and combustible" performances of the two leads<sup><a href="#cite_note-52">[52]</a></sup> while <a href="/wiki/Roger_Ebert">Roger Ebert</a> was won over by the "beauty and clarity" of McAdams's performance.<sup><a href="#cite_note-53">[53]</a></sup> Michael Wilmington of the <i><a href="/wiki/Chicago_Tribune">Chicago Tribune</a></i> declared her "a real discovery" who "infuses young Allie with that radiant, breathlessly winning ingénue grace and charm that breaks hearts".<sup><a href="#cite_note-54">[54]</a></sup> The film grossed over $115 million worldwide.<sup><a href="#cite_note-55">[55]</a></sup> McAdams won an MTV Movie Award and four <a href="/wiki/Teen_Choice_Awards">Teen Choice Awards</a>.<sup><a href="#cite_note-mtv05won-43">[43]</a></sup><sup><a href="#cite_note-tca05won-56">[56]</a></sup> <i>Entertainment Weekly</i> has said that the movie contains the All-Time Best Movie Kiss<sup><a href="#cite_note-57">[57]</a></sup> while the <i>Los Angeles Times</i> has included a scene from the film in a list of the 50 Classic Movie Kisses.<sup><a href="#cite_note-58">[58]</a></sup> <i>The Notebook</i> has appeared on many Most Romantic Movies lists.<sup><a href="#cite_note-59">[59]</a></sup><sup><a href="#cite_note-60">[60]</a></sup><sup><a href="#cite_note-61">[61]</a></sup><sup><a href="#cite_note-62">[62]</a></sup> "I'm so grateful to have a film that people respond to in that way", McAdams told <a href="/wiki/Elle_(magazine)"><i>Elle</i></a> in 2011. "It was a big deal."<sup><a href="#cite_note-ellejun11222-63">[63]</a></sup>
</p><p>In 2005, McAdams starred with <a href="/wiki/Owen_Wilson">Owen Wilson</a>, <a href="/wiki/Vince_Vaughn">Vince Vaughn</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Bradley_Cooper">Bradley Cooper</a> in the romantic comedy <i><a href="/wiki/Wedding_Crashers">Wedding Crashers</a></i>. McAdams played the daughter of an influential politician, who is caught in a <a href="/wiki/Love_triangle">love triangle</a> with Wilson and Cooper's characters.<sup><a href="#cite_note-Rachel_McAdams-64">[64]</a></sup><sup><a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a></sup> McAdams listened repeatedly to <a href="/wiki/Fleetwood_Mac">Fleetwood Mac</a>'s 1975 song "<a href="/wiki/Landslide_(Fleetwood_Mac_song)">Landslide</a>" to prepare for emotional scenes, and Wilson has said the song made her cry immediately: "It was like turning on a faucet."<sup><a href="#cite_note-wilson2005-19">[19]</a></sup> She trained for a sailing certification for a boating sequence because her character was said to be an accomplished sailor.<sup><a href="#cite_note-66">[66]</a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Manohla_Dargis">Manohla Dargis</a> of <i>The New York Times</i> felt McAdams "makes the most of her underdeveloped character" and "grows more appealing with every new role".<sup><a href="#cite_note-67">[67]</a></sup> Brian Lowry of <i><a href="/wiki/Variety_(magazine)">Variety</a></i> found her "a beguiling presence" who "actually creates a real character – a rarity for females in one of these <a href="/wiki/List_of_men%27s_magazines#Men's_lifestyle_magazines">lad-mag</a> escapades".<sup><a href="#cite_note-68">[68]</a></sup> From a production budget of $40 million, the film grossed over $285 million worldwide.<sup><a href="#cite_note-Rachel_McAdams-64">[64]</a></sup>

Craven has said McAdams was the only actress he considered for the part.<sup><a href="#cite_note-69">[69]</a></sup> She was drawn to the relatable qualities of her character: "She was not some sweaty, tank-top-wearing, <a href="/wiki/Uzi">Uzi</a>-carrying super woman".<sup><a href="#cite_note-70">[70]</a></sup> Robert Koehler of <i>Variety</i> found her "increasingly impressive"<sup><a href="#cite_note-71">[71]</a></sup> while Roger Ebert of the <i>Chicago Sun-Times</i> asserted that "she brings more presence and credibility to her role than is really expected; she acts without betraying the slightest awareness that she's inside a genre. Her performance qualifies her for heavy-duty roles."<sup><a href="#cite_note-72">[72]</a></sup> Upon release, the film, which was made on a budget of $26 million, earned over $95 million at the worldwide box office.<sup><a href="#cite_note-73">[73]</a></sup> In late 2005, McAdams starred with <a href="/wiki/Sarah_Jessica_Parker">Sarah Jessica Parker</a> and <a href="/wiki/Diane_Keaton">Diane Keaton</a> in the seasonal family comedy-drama <i><a href="/wiki/The_Family_Stone">The Family Stone</a></i>, which gave McAdams an opportunity to play a dishevelled and sardonic sister, rather than the usual "obvious" girlfriend or wife roles.<sup><a href="#cite_note-74">[74]</a></sup><sup><a href="#cite_note-allure05192-75">[75]</a></sup> She was eager to work with Keaton and remarked, "It's never about line counts for me. It's about the people I get to work with."<sup><a href="#cite_note-76">[76]</a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Justin_Chang">Justin Chang</a> of <i>Variety</i> noted that "a deglammed but still radiant McAdams proves once again that she's the real deal, delivering a deliciously feisty performance".<sup><a href="#cite_note-77">[77]</a></sup> Manohla Dargis of <i>The New York Times</i> felt that her "engaging screen presence holds your attention and sympathy despite the handicap presented by her character's personality."<sup><a href="#cite_note-78">[78]</a></sup> The film was a commercial success: it cost $18 million to make and grossed over $92 million worldwide.<sup><a href="#cite_note-79">[79]</a></sup>

McAdams was drawn to the "roller coaster" faced by her character<sup><a href="#cite_note-glamour1-145">[145]</a></sup> and found it interesting that the story was told "through the guy's eyes".<sup><a href="#cite_note-146">[146]</a></sup> A. O. Scott of <i>The New York Times</i> stated that "the dimply and adorable Rachel McAdams" brings "enough physical charm and emotional warmth to distract from the threadbare setting and the paper-thin plot".<sup><a href="#cite_note-147">[147]</a></sup> Joseph Amodio of <i><a href="/wiki/Newsday">Newsday</a></i> felt that McAdams, "exuding her usual uncanny warmth on-screen", "is the real draw".<sup><a href="#cite_note-148">[148]</a></sup> However, Betsy Sharkey of the <i>Los Angeles Times</i> felt she was "wasted" in the role: "She is such an appealing actress that it's hard not to wish someone could make better use" of her.<sup><a href="#cite_note-149">[149]</a></sup> Mary Pols of <i>Time</i> found the film an example of McAdams "coasting" in "unabashedly romantic" movies and asserted that "she's a much more versatile and clever actress" than such projects would suggest.<sup><a href="#cite_note-150">[150]</a></sup> The film, financed for $30 million, was a major commercial success and became her biggest box-office hit in a leading role.<sup><a href="#cite_note-151">[151]</a></sup> It topped the U.S. box office and has grossed over $196 million worldwide.<sup><a href="#cite_note-152">[152]</a></sup><sup><a href="#cite_note-153">[153]</a></sup>

Gleiberman of <i>Entertainment Weekly</i> noted that McAdams "uses her sexy billboard smile and emphatic delivery to nail a certain type of troublemaker boss who embeds her aggression in pert 'sincerity'"<sup><a href="#cite_note-160">[160]</a></sup> while Robert Abele of the <i>Los Angeles Times</i> remarked: "McAdams and Rapace are gesturally awkward and wildly miscast—more sorority sisters in a spat than cross-generational power antagonists."<sup><a href="#cite_note-161">[161]</a></sup>

Though Justin Chang of <i>Variety</i> felt McAdams imbued her character with "sensitivity and grit", he was nonetheless surprised by her subsequent Academy Award nomination: "[The performance] has the sort of fine-grained subtlety that voters too rarely notice. Take another look at that scene in which she gently, skillfully encourages an abuse survivor to lay bare his most lacerating secrets—a small master class in how the simple act of listening can become a conduit for compassion."<sup><a href="#cite_note-178">[178]</a></sup><sup><a href="#cite_note-179">[179]</a></sup> For her role, McAdams received nominations for the <a href="/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Supporting_Actress">Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress</a>, <a href="/wiki/Critics%27_Choice_Movie_Award_for_Best_Supporting_Actress">Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Supporting Actress</a> and <a href="/wiki/Screen_Actors_Guild_Award">Screen Actors Guild Award</a> nominations in the categories of <a href="/wiki/Screen_Actors_Guild_Award_for_Outstanding_Performance_by_a_Female_Actor_in_a_Supporting_Role">Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role</a> and Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.<sup><a href="#cite_note-SAG_Spotlight-180">[180]</a></sup><sup><a href="#cite_note-Critics'_Choice_Spotlight-181">[181]</a></sup>

She offers a little something for the ladies — who, according to airtight Hollywood corporate logic, are more likely to see a movie like this one if there's a feisty woman in it — and also something for the lads, who, much as they may dig fights and explosions and guns and chases, also like girls.</q></cite>

Now, if she can just persuade Mr. Abrams to give her a role worthy of them both. More than 20 years ago, Holly Hunter played an unapologetically smart female professional with a quiver full of comebacks: "It must be nice," her boss says "to always think you're the smartest person in the room."

 In 2002, she made her Hollywood film debut in the comedy The Hot Chick. She rose to fame in 2004 with the comedy Mean Girls and the romantic drama The Notebook. In 2005, she starred in the romantic comedy Wedding Crashers, the psychological thriller Red Eye, and the comedy-drama The Family Stone. She was hailed by the media as Hollywood's new "it girl",[3][4] and received a BAFTA Award nomination for Best Rising Star.

 After a brief sabbatical, she returned to prominence in 2009 by appearing in the political thriller State of Play, the romance The Time Traveler's Wife, and the 2009 mystery film Sherlock Holmes. In 2010, she appeared in the star vehicle comedy film Morning Glory, and starred in Midnight in Paris (2011), The Vow (2012) and About Time (2013). In 2015, she starred in the second season of the HBO anthology crime drama series True Detective, and portrayed journalist Sacha Pfeiffer in the drama Spotlight. For the latter, she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. This was followed by roles in the superhero film Doctor Strange (2016) and its 2022 sequel, the romantic drama Disobedience (2017), and the comedies Game Night (2018) and Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020).

 Early life [ edit ]

 McAdams was born on November 17, 1978 in London, Ontario, Canada, to nurse Sandra (née Gale) and truck driver Lance McAdams.[5] She grew up in St. Thomas in a Protestant household.[5][6] The eldest of three children, she has a younger sister, Kayleen (born 1982), who is a make-up artist;[7] and a younger brother, Daniel, a personal trainer.[8][9][10] McAdams is of Scottish, English, Irish and Welsh descent.[11][12][13] Her maternal fifth great-grandfather, James Gray, was a Loyalist Ranger during the American Revolution and fled to Canada after the Battles of Saratoga.[14][15][16]

 McAdams began figure skating when she was four, but turned down an opportunity to move to Toronto when she was nine for pair skating training.[9] She skated competitively until she was 18, winning regional awards.[5][17][18] She has said that skating prepared her for acting by teaching her to be "in tune" with her body.[19]

 McAdams attended Myrtle Street Public School and Central Elgin Collegiate Institute.[5][20] She said that she did not enjoy academic work and often pretended to be sick to avoid going to school.[21][22] Nonetheless, she was active in student life. In addition to playing sports (including volleyball, badminton, and soccer),[23] she was on the student council, participated in the Crime Stoppers program, and was a member of the Peer Helping Team.[5] She worked at a McDonald's restaurant during summer holidays for three years.[24][17]

 She developed an interest in performing when she was seven, and while her parents did not discourage her, they did not "go out and find [her] an agent."[25] She attended Disney and Shakespeare summer camps as a child.[25] From age 12, she participated in Original Kids Theatre Company, London productions,[26] and in her late teens directed children's theatre productions.[24] She was also involved in school stage productions, most notably winning a performance award at the Sears Ontario Drama Festival.[5][27] She was inspired by two of her teachers, who taught her English and drama, respectively, in grades 11 and 12.[27] She intended to take cultural studies at the University of Western Ontario[28] before being persuaded by her drama teacher that a professional acting career was a viable option.[5][27][29]

 She enrolled in York University's four-year theatre program and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts honours degree in 2001.[26][30] While there, she worked with the Toronto-based Necessary Angel Theatre Company.[31]

 Career [ edit ]

 2001–2003: Early work [ edit ]

 In 2001, McAdams made her television debut in the MTV pilot Shotgun Love Dolls as Beth Swanson, which was filmed during spring break from York University.[25] She also made her Canadian film debut that year in the comedy My Name is Tanino. The Italian-Canadian co-production was filmed in Sicily when McAdams was 22 years old, and it marked her first time on an airplane.[32][33] McAdams later earned a Genie Award nomination in Canada for her role in the drama Perfect Pie.[17]

 In 2002, she made her Hollywood film debut with Rob Schneider and Anna Faris in the comedy The Hot Chick, which McAdams has described as a "huge milestone" in her career.[21] She played a catty high school student who swaps bodies with Schneider's character, a small-time criminal.[17] Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times felt she "emerges as a young actress of much promise".[34] Afterwards, McAdams returned to Canada to star as Kate McNab in Slings and Arrows, a comedy mini-series about backstage theatre life at the fictional New Burbage Shakespearean Festival.[35] She was written out of the second season of the program following her success in the United States.[30] She received two Gemini Award nominations for her work on the program, winning one.[36]

 2004–2005: Breakthrough [ edit ]

 McAdams's break-out role came in 2004, when she starred in the comedy film Mean Girls opposite Lindsay Lohan, Lacey Chabert, and Amanda Seyfried, based on Rosalind Wiseman's book Queen Bees and Wannabes. McAdams was 24 years old when she was cast as the mean high school queen bee Regina George, and she modelled her character on Alec Baldwin's performance in the drama Glengarry Glen Ross (1992).[37][38] Mike Clark of USA Today praised her "comic flair"[39] while Jenny McCartney of The Daily Telegraph found her "delightfully hateful."[40] Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle felt that "McAdams brings glamour and magnetism to Regina, but also the right hint of comic distance."[41] The film grossed $129 million worldwide[42] and earned McAdams two MTV Movie Awards.[43] Mean Girls later reached No. 12 in an Entertainment Weekly list of the Greatest Ever High School Movies.[44] Tina Fey, who co‑starred in the film and wrote the screenplay, has credited McAdams with teaching her how to act in front of a camera rather than an audience: "She's a film actor. She's not pushing. And so I kind of learned that lesson from watching her."[45]

 McAdams with The Notebook co-star Ryan Gosling at the 2005 MTV Movie Awards

 Later in 2004, McAdams starred opposite fellow Canadian Ryan Gosling in the romantic drama The Notebook, based on Nicholas Sparks' novel of the same name. She played Allie Hamilton, a wealthy Southern belle who has a forbidden love affair with Gosling's poor labourer, Noah Calhoun.[17][46] McAdams spent time in Charleston, South Carolina, prior to filming to familiarize herself with the Southern accent,[47] and took ballet and etiquette classes.[30] Filming took place from late 2002 to early 2003.[48] Although McAdams and Gosling became romantically involved in 2005, they had a combative relationship on set.[49][50] "We inspired the worst in each other," Gosling has said. "It was a strange experience, making a love story and not getting along with your co-star in any way."[51] At one point, Gosling asked the film's director Nick Cassavetes to "bring somebody else in for my off-camera shot" because he felt McAdams was being uncooperative.[50] Stephen Holden of The New York Times praised the "spontaneous and combustible" performances of the two leads[52] while Roger Ebert was won over by the "beauty and clarity" of McAdams's performance.[53] Michael Wilmington of the Chicago Tribune declared her "a real discovery" who "infuses young Allie with that radiant, breathlessly winning ingénue grace and charm that breaks hearts".[54] The film grossed over $115 million worldwide.[55] McAdams won an MTV Movie Award and four Teen Choice Awards.[43][56] Entertainment Weekly has said that the movie contains the All-Time Best Movie Kiss[57] while the Los Angeles Times has included a scene from the film in a list of the 50 Classic Movie Kisses.[58] The Notebook has appeared on many Most Romantic Movies lists.[59][60][61][62] "I'm so grateful to have a film that people respond to in that way", McAdams told Elle in 2011. "It was a big deal."[63]

 In 2005, McAdams starred with Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, and Bradley Cooper in the romantic comedy Wedding Crashers. McAdams played the daughter of an influential politician, who is caught in a love triangle with Wilson and Cooper's characters.[64][65] McAdams listened repeatedly to Fleetwood Mac's 1975 song "Landslide" to prepare for emotional scenes, and Wilson has said the song made her cry immediately: "It was like turning on a faucet."[19] She trained for a sailing certification for a boating sequence because her character was said to be an accomplished sailor.[66] Manohla Dargis of The New York Times felt McAdams "makes the most of her underdeveloped character" and "grows more appealing with every new role".[67] Brian Lowry of Variety found her "a beguiling presence" who "actually creates a real character – a rarity for females in one of these lad-mag escapades".[68] From a production budget of $40 million, the film grossed over $285 million worldwide.[64]

 Afterwards, McAdams starred opposite Cillian Murphy in Wes Craven's psychological thriller Red Eye, where she played a young hotel manager who is held captive by Murphy's character while aboard a red-eye flight. Craven has said McAdams was the only actress he considered for the part.[69] She was drawn to the relatable qualities of her character: "She was not some sweaty, tank-top-wearing, Uzi-carrying super woman".[70] Robert Koehler of Variety found her "increasingly impressive"[71] while Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times asserted that "she brings more presence and credibility to her role than is really expected; she acts without betraying the slightest awareness that she's inside a genre. Her performance qualifies her for heavy-duty roles."[72] Upon release, the film, which was made on a budget of $26 million, earned over $95 million at the worldwide box office.[73] In late 2005, McAdams starred with Sarah Jessica Parker and Diane Keaton in the seasonal family comedy-drama The Family Stone, which gave McAdams an opportunity to play a dishevelled and sardonic sister, rather than the usual "obvious" girlfriend or wife roles.[74][75] She was eager to work with Keaton and remarked, "It's never about line counts for me. It's about the people I get to work with."[76] Justin Chang of Variety noted that "a deglammed but still radiant McAdams proves once again that she's the real deal, delivering a deliciously feisty performance".[77] Manohla Dargis of The New York Times felt that her "engaging screen presence holds your attention and sympathy despite the handicap presented by her character's personality."[78] The film was a commercial success: it cost $18 million to make and grossed over $92 million worldwide.[79]

 2006–2010: Career hiatus and return [ edit ]

 McAdams at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival

 At this point in her career, McAdams was hailed as "the next Julia Roberts"[3] and the new "Hollywood it girl".[4] Vanity Fair invited McAdams, along with actresses Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley, to appear on its March 2006 cover, the annual Hollywood issue. Upon arrival on the photo set, McAdams discovered it was a nude session, declined and left. She later parted ways with her publicist at the time, who had not informed her in advance.[80] Knightley later recounted, "Quite early on Rachel just said, 'No, I'm not into that.' She's a lovely girl, and I really respect her for doing that."[81] When asked about the incident in 2008, McAdams had "no regrets".[82] McAdams took a break from her film career from 2006 to 2007.[4] "There were a lot of cooks in the kitchen, a lot of voices around me, and I wanted to step away so I could hear my own voice again", McAdams said in 2013. "Truthfully, I never really wanted to be a big movie star. I never even wanted to work outside of Canada, or outside of the theatre."[83] During that period, McAdams turned down roles in the films The Devil Wears Prada (2006), Casino Royale (2006), Mission: Impossible III (2006), Iron Man (2008),[84] and Get Smart (2008).[3] In February 2006, she made a one-off stage appearance in The Vagina Monologues at St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts, Toronto to raise funds for V-Day.[85] That same year, McAdams received a Rising Star Award nomination from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts[86] and hosted the Academy Awards for Technical Achievement.[87]

 McAdams returned to her film career in 2008. She starred with Pierce Brosnan and Chris Cooper in the 1940s film noir Married Life where she played Kay Nesbitt, a young widow who wins the affections of Brosnan and Cooper's older characters. In preparation for the role, McAdams studied old films, particularly those of Kim Novak.[88] She has said the film shoot re-energized and re-inspired her and made her eager to continue working more often again.[89] Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly found McAdams "a particularly delightful vision after her two-year intermission".[90] Todd McCarthy of Variety criticized her break from the big screen but felt that, despite a performance of "tender feeling", "her natural vivaciousness and spontaneity are straitjacketed" by the film noir format.[91] The film had a limited release and was a box-office failure. It grossed just over $2 million worldwide, failing to recoup its production budget of $12 million.[92]

 Afterwards, McAdams starred with Tim Robbins and Michael Peña in the road trip comedy-drama The Lucky Ones, a story about three Iraq War soldiers on a brief road trip back in the United States. She trained at a real boot camp, at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, prior to filming.[93] In 2011, McAdams said that Colee Dunn was "probably one of my favorite characters I've ever played".[94] The film also had a limited release and Laura Kern of The New York Times found her "luminous as always"[95] while Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times hailed the performance as "her coming of age as an actress".[96] "Previously she has been seen mostly as a hot chick or an idealized sweetheart", he wrote. "Here she is feisty, vulnerable, plucky, warm, funny ... Watch the poignancy of the scene when she meets her boyfriend's family."[96] Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly found her "feisty, gorgeous, and as mercurial as a mood ring".[97] The Lucky Ones is the least commercially successful film of McAdams's career as of 2012, having grossed just $266,967 worldwide.[98]

 In 2009, McAdams starred with Russell Crowe, Helen Mirren and Ben Affleck in the political thriller State of Play, based on the BBC drama television series of the same name. McAdams played Della Frye, an online reporter who investigates a possible conspiracy with Crowe's character, a veteran print journalist.[99] McAdams visited The Washington Post ' s offices and met with politicians on Capitol Hill for her research.[100] Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly felt she was "perfectly cast as an ambitious wonkette"[101] while Sukhdev Sandhu of The Daily Telegraph noted that "McAdams, with her lively eyes and large, expressive forehead, holds her own against Crowe. Mercifully, she avoids any temptation to play girly and demure to his grizzled alpha male."[102] The film grossed over $87 million worldwide.[103] Also in 2009, McAdams starred opposite Eric Bana in the science fiction romantic drama The Time Traveler's Wife, based on Audrey Niffenegger's best-selling novel of the same name.[104][105] McAdams fell "madly in love" with the novel,[106] but was initially slightly hesitant to accept the role because Clare Abshire, the long-suffering wife is a "character that people have already cast in their heads".[107] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone said, "I'd watch the vibrant Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana in anything, but The Time Traveler's Wife is pushing it."[108] Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times found her "luminous [yet], sadly, her facility as an actress is mostly wasted."[109] Writing in The Chicago Tribune, Michael Phillips, in an otherwise tepid review, said of her performance: "Every scene she's in, even the silly ones, becomes better—truer, often against long odds—because she's in it. Her work feels emotionally spontaneous yet technically precise. She has an unusually easy touch with both comedy and drama, and she never holds a melodramatic moment hostage."[110] The film was a commercial success, earning over $101 million worldwide.[111]

 McAdams at the premiere of Sherlock Holmes in 2009

 In late 2009, McAdams starred in the mystery/action-adventure film Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law. She played Irene Adler, an antagonist and love interest of Downey's title character Sherlock Holmes, and welcomed the opportunity to play a character who is "her own boss and a real free spirit".[112] Todd McCarthy of Variety felt her character was "not very well integrated into the rest of the story, a shortcoming the normally resourceful McAdams is unable to do much about".[113] A. O. Scott of The New York Times stated, "Ms. McAdams is a perfectly charming actress and performs gamely as the third wheel of this action-bromance tricycle. But Irene feels in this movie more like a somewhat cynical commercial contrivance. She offers a little something for the ladies and also something for the lads, who, much as they may dig fights and explosions and guns and chases, also like girls."[114] The film was a major commercial success, earning over $524 million at the worldwide box office.[115]

 In 2010, McAdams starred with her The Family Stone co-star Diane Keaton and Harrison Ford in the comedy Morning Glory. She played a television producer attempting to improve the poor ratings of a morning television program. The film was billed as a starring vehicle for McAdams.[116] She initially felt she was unsuited to the role saying, "I'm not funny. So I said, 'if you need me to be funny, you might want to look somewhere else'".[117] The film's director Roger Michell had a number of dinners with McAdams and persuaded her to join the cast.[26][118] Since working with Keaton, McAdams has described her as a mentor figure.[119] Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times said McAdams "gives the kind of performance we go to the movies for"[120] while Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times felt she played "as lovable a lead as anyone since Amy Adams in Junebug" in an otherwise "routine" movie.[121] Lou Lumenick of the New York Post was impressed by "her gift for physical comedy",[122] as was Variety ' s Andrew Barker.[123] While Manohla Dargis of The New York Times felt she "plays her role exceptionally well" and is "effortlessly likable", it called on Hollywood to give her parts "worthy" of her talent. "Ms. McAdams has to rely on her dimples to get by. She does, but she could do better."[124] The film was a modest commercial success, grossing $58 million worldwide from a production budget of $40 million.[125] McAdams later expressed her disappointment that the film failed to find a larger audience.[63]

 2011–2014: Work with auteurs [ edit ]

 In 2011, McAdams starred in Woody Allen's fantasy romantic comedy Midnight in Paris with her Wedding Crashers co-star Owen Wilson and Michael Sheen. The film opened the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.[126] McAdams played Inez, the shrewish fiancée of Wilson's character Gil. Allen wrote McAdams' part for her, after hearing "glowing reports" from his friend and her former co-star Diane Keaton.[116] He said that he was "crazy about Rachel"[127] and wanted to give her the opportunity to play something other than "beautiful girls".[128] The film was shot on location in Paris and McAdams has said that the experience "will always have a great place in my heart".[129] Hadley Freeman The Guardian criticized that she "has morphed from the sweet thing in Wedding Crashers to the dream-crushing bitch that, according to American comedies, women become once they ensnare their man".[130] Richard Corliss of Time "felt sorry for McAdams, whose usually winning presence is ground into hostile cliché".[131] However, Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times felt she "deftly handles a part that is less amiable than usual for her"[132] and A. O. Scott of The New York Times found her "superbly speeded-up".[133] It became Allen's highest-grossing film ever in North America[134] and was the most commercially successful independent film of 2011.[135] With a production budget of $17 million, the film has grossed over $151 million worldwide.[136] McAdams, along with six other members of the cast, received a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture nomination.[137] Allen won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and the film itself was nominated for three other Academy Awards, including Best Picture.[138]

 McAdams at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival

 McAdams reprised her role as Irene Adler in the mystery/action-adventure sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows,[139] but the female lead role was played by Noomi Rapace. Joel Silver, the film's producer, has said that "we always intended to have a different kind of girl for each movie" in the vein of Bond girls.[140] He found it "complicated" to persuade McAdams to return in a smaller role: "She loved being with us, but she hoped to have a bigger role."[140] Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal felt "she vanishes all too soon in this overproduced, self-enchanted sequel, and so does the spirit of bright invention that made the previous film such a pleasant surprise."[141] Scott Mendelson of The Huffington Post remarked that she "exhibits far more personality and roguish charm in her few moments here than she did in all of the previous film. Freed from the constraints of being the de-facto love interest, McAdams relishes the chance to go full-villain."[142] The film has grossed over $543 million worldwide.[143]

 In 2012, McAdams starred opposite Channing Tatum in the romantic drama The Vow, based on a true story.[144] McAdams and Tatum played a newlywed couple who try to rebuild their relationship after a car crash leaves the wife with no recollections of who he is or their marriage. McAdams was drawn to the "roller coaster" faced by her character[145] and found it interesting that the story was told "through the guy's eyes".[146] A. O. Scott of The New York Times stated that "the dimply and adorable Rachel McAdams" brings "enough physical charm and emotional warmth to distract from the threadbare setting and the paper-thin plot".[147] Joseph Amodio of Newsday felt that McAdams, "exuding her usual uncanny warmth on-screen", "is the real draw".[148] However, Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times felt she was "wasted" in the role: "She is such an appealing actress that it's hard not to wish someone could make better use" of her.[149] Mary Pols of Time found the film an example of McAdams "coasting" in "unabashedly romantic" movies and asserted that "she's a much more versatile and clever actress" than such projects would suggest.[150] The film, financed for $30 million, was a major commercial success and became her biggest box-office hit in a leading role.[151] It topped the U.S. box office and has grossed over $196 million worldwide.[152][153]

 In 2013, McAdams co-starred opposite Ben Affleck in Terrence Malick's romantic drama To the Wonder.[154] McAdams played a horse ranch worker in Oklahoma and the love interest of Affleck's character.[155] She found Malick to be an "incredibly helpful" director; they discussed her character in detail and he took her on a tour of the local town, pointing out which house she would have grown up in and where she would have attended school.[63] Upon its limited theatrical American release, the film polarized film critics.[156] Oliver Lyttelton of IndieWire noted that "McAdams has the least to do of the principals, but is wonderfully haunted and sad in her brief appearances".[157] Afterwards, McAdams starred in Brian De Palma's erotic thriller Passion opposite Noomi Rapace. They played two business executives engaged in a power struggle.[158] De Palma saw McAdams' performance in Mean Girls and decided to cast her as Christine.[159] The movie was released in selected theatres in the US. Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly noted that McAdams "uses her sexy billboard smile and emphatic delivery to nail a certain type of troublemaker boss who embeds her aggression in pert 'sincerity'"[160] while Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times remarked: "McAdams and Rapace are gesturally awkward and wildly miscast—more sorority sisters in a spat than cross-generational power antagonists."[161]

 In 2013, McAdams starred in Richard Curtis' romantic comedy-drama About Time opposite Domhnall Gleeson.[162] Zooey Deschanel was originally slated to play McAdams's role but dropped out shortly before filming began.[163] A fan of Curtis for years, McAdams wanted to work with him on what he stated would be his last project as a director.[164] The film was a commercial success at the international box office,[165] and McAdams had a positive reception among critics, with Leslie Felperin of Variety praising her and Gleeson for their "radiant, believable chemistry" which "keeps the film aloft."[166] The following year, McAdams starred opposite Philip Seymour Hoffman in an adaptation of John le Carré's espionage thriller A Most Wanted Man, directed by Anton Corbijn.[167][168][169] McAdams' attempt at a German accent was criticised by some reviewers.[170] Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair noted that McAdams had a "little less success with her accent" than her co-star Hoffman but, nonetheless, she "proves as intelligent, soulful, and magnetic a presence as ever".[171] In late 2014, McAdams received a star on Canada's Walk of Fame.[172][173]

 2015–2016: Spotlight and beyond [ edit ]

 McAdams at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival

 In 2015, McAdams starred with Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo and Stanley Tucci as journalist Sacha Pfeiffer in Tom McCarthy's Spotlight, a drama about the child-abuse scandal in Boston's Catholic Church.[174] To prepare for her role, McAdams spent time with Pfeiffer.[175][176] The film garnered universal critical acclaim, mainly for its detailed story and the performances of the ensemble cast,[177] and won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Though Justin Chang of Variety felt McAdams imbued her character with "sensitivity and grit", he was nonetheless surprised by her subsequent Academy Award nomination: "[The performance] has the sort of fine-grained subtlety that voters too rarely notice. Take another look at that scene in which she gently, skillfully encourages an abuse survivor to lay bare his most lacerating secrets—a small master class in how the simple act of listening can become a conduit for compassion."[178][179] For her role, McAdams received nominations for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Supporting Actress and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations in the categories of Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role and Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.[180][181]

 She next starred with her Wedding Crashers co-star Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone and John Krasinski in Cameron Crowe's romantic comedy-drama Aloha. She played the ex-girlfriend of Cooper's character, who is married to Krasinski's character with two children.[182] While the film received a negative reaction and controversy from critics and audiences alike,[183] Wesley Morris of Grantland remarked: "Someone who can speak Crowe's language really helps. McAdams might be the best he's ever had ... [She] puts the perfect amount of air in her lines, giving the words a lightness that conflates optimism, amusement, and resignation. She's never seemed lovelier, more instinctive, or more present."[184] Mark Olsen of the Los Angeles Times felt she "plays likely the strongest, most rounded female character Crowe has ever written, a woman suddenly lips to lips with the life she has and the one she might have had, and the actress brings a grounded, unforced earthiness to the role that is a joy to watch."[185]

 She co-starred with Jake Gyllenhaal in the boxing drama Southpaw (2015), where she played the wife of Gyllenhaal's character.[186] A.O. Scott of The New York Times conceded: "It features some pretty appealing players. There are worse things to see at the multiplex than Ms. McAdams playing a tough cookie standing by her man."[187] She co-starred with James Franco, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Marie-Josée Croze in Wim Wenders' drama Every Thing Will Be Fine. The film received a U.S. limited release in December 2015.[188] Guy Lodge of Variety remarked: "Poor McAdams, sporting sensible hair and a truly mystifying cod-Continental accent, continues her thankless run of needy, tossed-aside love interests in big-name auteur projects."[189] That same year, McAdams returned to television and starred as Det. Ani Bezzerides in the second season of HBO's anthology crime drama True Detective with her Wedding Crashers co-star Vince Vaughn, Colin Farrell and Taylor Kitsch.[190] Richard Vine of The Guardian remarked: "If there's anyone with any chance of enjoying a McConaughaissance here it's probably McAdams – an actor whose characters are more usually associated with the death of the romcom than murders involving people with eyes burned out by acid. Here, her Ani is a convincing mess."[191] She received a nomination for the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Actress in a Movie/Miniseries for her role.[181] Also in 2015, McAdams played Buttercup in a one-off, staged LACMA Live Read of The Princess Bride.[192]

 The following year, McAdams voiced The Mother of The Little Girl in an animated version of The Little Prince,[193] and co-starred with Benedict Cumberbatch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe superhero film Doctor Strange.[194] Peter Debruge of Variety said McAdams played "the most competent—and human—of Marvel's window-dressing girlfriends,"[195] while Gregory Ellwood of Indiewire remarked: "It goes without saying that McAdams will never get the credit she deserves for transforming the barely sketched out role of Strange's former medical colleague Christine Palmer into a captivating three-dimensional character that feels like an integral part of the storyline even when she isn't."[196] Also in 2016, McAdams narrated an audiobook version of L. M. Montgomery's novel Anne of Green Gables, released by Audible.[197]

 2018–present: Recent roles [ edit ]

 After a year-long absence from the screen, McAdams co-starred with Jason Bateman in the comedy Game Night (2018). Glenn Kenny of The New York Times said the film served as a "reminder that Ms. McAdams is one of cinema's most accomplished and appealing comic actresses."[198] Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair felt her character lacked "any real arc or motivation of her own", but "It's a testament to McAdams's talent and charm, then, that she doesn't get lost in the movie, asserting herself in every scene with a goofy brightness."[199] She performed some of her own stunt driving in a getaway scene.[200]

 Later in 2018, McAdams starred opposite Rachel Weisz in Sebastián Lelio's romantic drama Disobedience, based on Naomi Alderman's novel.[201] Manohla Dargis of The New York Times said McAdams "does some lovely work here to convey a woman agonizing over her existential situation".[202] In 2020, she co-starred with Will Ferrell in the Netflix musical comedy film Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga.

 McAdams reprised her role as Christine Palmer in the superhero sequel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Released in May 2022, the film garnered mixed reviews.[203][204] McAdams is set to star in Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, a film adaptation of Judy Blume's novel of the same name,[205] scheduled for an April 2023 release.

But Irene, though she figures in a few of Conan Doyle's stories, feels in this movie more like a somewhat cynical commercial contrivance. She offers a little something for the ladies — who, according to airtight Hollywood corporate logic, are more likely to see a movie like this one if there's a feisty woman in it — and also something for the lads, who, much as they may dig fights and explosions and guns and chases, also like girls."

"As might be expected, Ms. McAdams plays her role exceptionally well: as the young actress on the verge of the big time, who can win the boy, tame the beast, flash her panties and make you smile without making you cringe, she is a natural. Now, if she can just persuade Mr. Abrams to give her a role worthy of them both. More than 20 years ago, Holly Hunter played an unapologetically smart female professional with a quiver full of comebacks: "It must be nice," her boss says "to always think you're the smartest person in the room." To which she admits, "No, it's awful." By contrast, Ms. McAdams has to rely on her dimples to get by. She does, but she could do better."

Early life[edit]
McAdams was born on November 17, 1978 in London, Ontario, Canada, to nurse Sandra (née Gale) and truck driver Lance McAdams. [5]  She grew up in St. Thomas in a Protestant household. [5]   [6]  The eldest of three children, she has a younger sister, Kayleen (born 1982), who is a make-up artist; [7]  and a younger brother, Daniel, a personal trainer. [8]   [9]   [10]  McAdams is of Scottish, English, Irish and Welsh descent. [11]   [12]   [13]  Her maternal fifth great-grandfather, James Gray, was a Loyalist Ranger during the American Revolution and fled to Canada after the Battles of Saratoga. [14]   [15]   [16] 
 McAdams began figure skating when she was four, but turned down an opportunity to move to Toronto when she was nine for pair skating training. [9]  She skated competitively until she was 18, winning regional awards. [5]   [17]   [18]  She has said that skating prepared her for acting by teaching her to be "in tune" with her body. [19] 
 McAdams attended Myrtle Street Public School and Central Elgin Collegiate Institute. [5]   [20]  She said that she did not enjoy academic work and often pretended to be sick to avoid going to school. [21]   [22]  Nonetheless, she was active in student life. In addition to playing sports (including volleyball, badminton, and soccer), [23]  she was on the student council, participated in the Crime Stoppers program, and was a member of the Peer Helping Team. [5]  She worked at a McDonald's restaurant during summer holidays for three years. [24]   [17] 
 She developed an interest in performing when she was seven, and while her parents did not discourage her, they did not "go out and find [her] an agent." [25]  She attended Disney and Shakespeare summer camps as a child. [25]  From age 12, she participated in Original Kids Theatre Company, London productions, [26]  and in her late teens directed children's theatre productions. [24]  She was also involved in school stage productions, most notably winning a performance award at the Sears Ontario Drama Festival. [5]   [27]  She was inspired by two of her teachers, who taught her English and drama, respectively, in grades 11 and 12. [27]  She intended to take cultural studies at the University of Western Ontario  [28]  before being persuaded by her drama teacher that a professional acting career was a viable option. [5]   [27]   [29]  
 She enrolled in York University's four-year theatre program and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts honours degree in 2001. [26]   [30]  While there, she worked with the Toronto-based Necessary Angel Theatre Company. [31] 
Career[edit]
2001–2003: Early work[edit]
In 2001, McAdams made her television debut in the MTV pilot Shotgun Love Dolls as Beth Swanson, which was filmed during spring break from York University. [25]  She also made her Canadian film debut that year in the comedy  My Name is Tanino . The Italian-Canadian co-production was filmed in Sicily when McAdams was 22 years old, and it marked her first time on an airplane. [32]   [33]  McAdams later earned a Genie Award nomination in Canada for her role in the drama  Perfect Pie . [17]  
 In 2002, she made her Hollywood film debut with Rob Schneider and Anna Faris in the comedy  The Hot Chick , which McAdams has described as a "huge milestone" in her career. [21]  She played a catty high school student who swaps bodies with Schneider's character, a small-time criminal. [17]  Kevin Thomas of the  Los Angeles Times  felt she "emerges as a young actress of much promise". [34]  Afterwards, McAdams returned to Canada to star as Kate McNab in  Slings and Arrows , a comedy mini-series about backstage theatre life at the fictional New Burbage Shakespearean Festival. [35]  She was written out of the second season of the program following her success in the United States. [30]  She received two Gemini Award nominations for her work on the program, winning one. [36] 
2004–2005: Breakthrough[edit]
McAdams's break-out role came in 2004, when she starred in the comedy film  Mean Girls  opposite Lindsay Lohan, Lacey Chabert, and Amanda Seyfried, based on Rosalind Wiseman's book  Queen Bees and Wannabes . McAdams was 24 years old when she was cast as the mean high school queen bee Regina George, and she modelled her character on Alec Baldwin's performance in the drama  Glengarry Glen Ross  (1992). [37]   [38]  Mike Clark of  USA Today  praised her "comic flair" [39]  while Jenny McCartney of  The Daily Telegraph  found her "delightfully hateful." [40]  Mick LaSalle of the  San Francisco Chronicle  felt that "McAdams brings glamour and magnetism to Regina, but also the right hint of comic distance." [41]  The film grossed $129 million worldwide [42]  and earned McAdams two MTV Movie Awards. [43]  Mean Girls later reached No. 12 in an  Entertainment Weekly  list of the Greatest Ever High School Movies. [44]  Tina Fey, who co‑starred in the film and wrote the screenplay, has credited McAdams with teaching her how to act in front of a camera rather than an audience: "She's a film actor. She's not pushing. And so I kind of learned that lesson from watching her." [45] 
     
Later in 2004, McAdams starred opposite fellow Canadian Ryan Gosling in the romantic drama  The Notebook , based on Nicholas Sparks' novel of the same name. She played Allie Hamilton, a wealthy Southern belle who has a forbidden love affair with Gosling's poor labourer, Noah Calhoun. [17]   [46]  McAdams spent time in Charleston, South Carolina, prior to filming to familiarize herself with the Southern accent, [47]  and took ballet and etiquette classes. [30]  Filming took place from late 2002 to early 2003. [48]  Although McAdams and Gosling became romantically involved in 2005, they had a combative relationship on set. [49]   [50]  "We inspired the worst in each other," Gosling has said. "It was a strange experience, making a love story and not getting along with your co-star in any way." [51]  At one point, Gosling asked the film's director Nick Cassavetes to "bring somebody else in for my off-camera shot" because he felt McAdams was being uncooperative. [50]  Stephen Holden of  The New York Times  praised the "spontaneous and combustible" performances of the two leads [52]  while Roger Ebert was won over by the "beauty and clarity" of McAdams's performance. [53]  Michael Wilmington of the  Chicago Tribune  declared her "a real discovery" who "infuses young Allie with that radiant, breathlessly winning ingénue grace and charm that breaks hearts". [54]  The film grossed over $115 million worldwide. [55]  McAdams won an MTV Movie Award and four Teen Choice Awards. [43]   [56]  Entertainment Weekly has said that the movie contains the All-Time Best Movie Kiss [57]  while the Los Angeles Times has included a scene from the film in a list of the 50 Classic Movie Kisses. [58]  The Notebook has appeared on many Most Romantic Movies lists. [59]   [60]   [61]   [62]  "I'm so grateful to have a film that people respond to in that way", McAdams told  Elle  in 2011. "It was a big deal." [63] 
 In 2005, McAdams starred with Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, and Bradley Cooper in the romantic comedy  Wedding Crashers . McAdams played the daughter of an influential politician, who is caught in a love triangle with Wilson and Cooper's characters. [64]   [65]  McAdams listened repeatedly to Fleetwood Mac's 1975 song "Landslide" to prepare for emotional scenes, and Wilson has said the song made her cry immediately: "It was like turning on a faucet." [19]  She trained for a sailing certification for a boating sequence because her character was said to be an accomplished sailor. [66]  Manohla Dargis of The New York Times felt McAdams "makes the most of her underdeveloped character" and "grows more appealing with every new role". [67]  Brian Lowry of  Variety  found her "a beguiling presence" who "actually creates a real character – a rarity for females in one of these lad-mag escapades". [68]  From a production budget of $40 million, the film grossed over $285 million worldwide. [64] 
 Afterwards, McAdams starred opposite Cillian Murphy in Wes Craven's psychological thriller  Red Eye , where she played a young hotel manager who is held captive by Murphy's character while aboard a red-eye flight. Craven has said McAdams was the only actress he considered for the part. [69]  She was drawn to the relatable qualities of her character: "She was not some sweaty, tank-top-wearing, Uzi-carrying super woman". [70]  Robert Koehler of Variety found her "increasingly impressive" [71]  while Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times asserted that "she brings more presence and credibility to her role than is really expected; she acts without betraying the slightest awareness that she's inside a genre. Her performance qualifies her for heavy-duty roles." [72]  Upon release, the film, which was made on a budget of $26 million, earned over $95 million at the worldwide box office. [73]  In late 2005, McAdams starred with Sarah Jessica Parker and Diane Keaton in the seasonal family comedy-drama  The Family Stone , which gave McAdams an opportunity to play a dishevelled and sardonic sister, rather than the usual "obvious" girlfriend or wife roles. [74]   [75]  She was eager to work with Keaton and remarked, "It's never about line counts for me. It's about the people I get to work with." [76]  Justin Chang of Variety noted that "a deglammed but still radiant McAdams proves once again that she's the real deal, delivering a deliciously feisty performance". [77]  Manohla Dargis of The New York Times felt that her "engaging screen presence holds your attention and sympathy despite the handicap presented by her character's personality." [78]  The film was a commercial success: it cost $18 million to make and grossed over $92 million worldwide. [79] 
2006–2010: Career hiatus and return[edit]
     
At this point in her career, McAdams was hailed as "the next Julia Roberts" [3]  and the new "Hollywood it girl". [4]   Vanity Fair  invited McAdams, along with actresses Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley, to appear on its March 2006 cover, the annual Hollywood issue. Upon arrival on the photo set, McAdams discovered it was a nude session, declined and left. She later parted ways with her publicist at the time, who had not informed her in advance. [80]  Knightley later recounted, "Quite early on Rachel just said, 'No, I'm not into that.' She's a lovely girl, and I really respect her for doing that." [81]  When asked about the incident in 2008, McAdams had "no regrets". [82]  McAdams took a break from her film career from 2006 to 2007. [4]  "There were a lot of cooks in the kitchen, a lot of voices around me, and I wanted to step away so I could hear my own voice again", McAdams said in 2013. "Truthfully, I never really wanted to be a big movie star. I never even wanted to work outside of Canada, or outside of the theatre." [83]  During that period, McAdams turned down roles in the films  The Devil Wears Prada  (2006),  Casino Royale  (2006),  Mission: Impossible III  (2006),  Iron Man  (2008), [84]  and  Get Smart  (2008). [3]  In February 2006, she made a one-off stage appearance in  The Vagina Monologues  at St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts, Toronto to raise funds for V-Day. [85]  That same year, McAdams received a Rising Star Award nomination from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts  [86]  and hosted the Academy Awards for Technical Achievement. [87] 
 McAdams returned to her film career in 2008. She starred with Pierce Brosnan and Chris Cooper in the 1940s film noir  Married Life  where she played Kay Nesbitt, a young widow who wins the affections of Brosnan and Cooper's older characters. In preparation for the role, McAdams studied old films, particularly those of Kim Novak. [88]  She has said the film shoot re-energized and re-inspired her and made her eager to continue working more often again. [89]  Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly found McAdams "a particularly delightful vision after her two-year intermission". [90]  Todd McCarthy of Variety criticized her break from the big screen but felt that, despite a performance of "tender feeling", "her natural vivaciousness and spontaneity are straitjacketed" by the film noir format. [91]  The film had a limited release and was a box-office failure. It grossed just over $2 million worldwide, failing to recoup its production budget of $12 million. [92] 
 Afterwards, McAdams starred with Tim Robbins and Michael Peña in the road trip comedy-drama  The Lucky Ones , a story about three Iraq War soldiers on a brief road trip back in the United States. She trained at a real boot camp, at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, prior to filming. [93]  In 2011, McAdams said that Colee Dunn was "probably one of my favorite characters I've ever played". [94]  The film also had a limited release and Laura Kern of The New York Times found her "luminous as always" [95]  while Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times hailed the performance as "her coming of age as an actress". [96]  "Previously she has been seen mostly as a hot chick or an idealized sweetheart", he wrote. "Here she is feisty, vulnerable, plucky, warm, funny ... Watch the poignancy of the scene when she meets her boyfriend's family." [96]  Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly found her "feisty, gorgeous, and as mercurial as a mood ring". [97]  The Lucky Ones is the least commercially successful film of McAdams's career as of 2012, having grossed just $266,967 worldwide. [98] 
 In 2009, McAdams starred with Russell Crowe, Helen Mirren and Ben Affleck in the political thriller  State of Play , based on the BBC drama television series of the same name. McAdams played Della Frye, an online reporter who investigates a possible conspiracy with Crowe's character, a veteran print journalist. [99]  McAdams visited  The Washington Post 's offices and met with politicians on Capitol Hill for her research. [100]  Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly felt she was "perfectly cast as an ambitious wonkette" [101]  while Sukhdev Sandhu of  The Daily Telegraph  noted that "McAdams, with her lively eyes and large, expressive forehead, holds her own against Crowe. Mercifully, she avoids any temptation to play girly and demure to his grizzled alpha male." [102]  The film grossed over $87 million worldwide. [103]  Also in 2009, McAdams starred opposite Eric Bana in the science fiction romantic drama  The Time Traveler's Wife , based on Audrey Niffenegger's best-selling novel of the same name. [104]   [105]  McAdams fell "madly in love" with the novel, [106]  but was initially slightly hesitant to accept the role because Clare Abshire, the long-suffering wife is a "character that people have already cast in their heads". [107]  Peter Travers of  Rolling Stone  said, "I'd watch the vibrant Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana in anything, but The Time Traveler's Wife is pushing it." [108]  Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times found her "luminous [yet], sadly, her facility as an actress is mostly wasted." [109]  Writing in The Chicago Tribune, Michael Phillips, in an otherwise tepid review, said of her performance: "Every scene she's in, even the silly ones, becomes better—truer, often against long odds—because she's in it. Her work feels emotionally spontaneous yet technically precise. She has an unusually easy touch with both comedy and drama, and she never holds a melodramatic moment hostage." [110]  The film was a commercial success, earning over $101 million worldwide. [111] 
     
In late 2009, McAdams starred in the mystery/action-adventure film  Sherlock Holmes  with Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law. She played Irene Adler, an antagonist and love interest of Downey's title character Sherlock Holmes, and welcomed the opportunity to play a character who is "her own boss and a real free spirit". [112]  Todd McCarthy of Variety felt her character was "not very well integrated into the rest of the story, a shortcoming the normally resourceful McAdams is unable to do much about". [113]  A. O. Scott of The New York Times stated, "Ms. McAdams is a perfectly charming actress and performs gamely as the third wheel of this action-bromance tricycle. But Irene feels in this movie more like a somewhat cynical commercial contrivance. She offers a little something for the ladies and also something for the lads, who, much as they may dig fights and explosions and guns and chases, also like girls." [114]  The film was a major commercial success, earning over $524 million at the worldwide box office. [115] 
 In 2010, McAdams starred with her The Family Stone co-star Diane Keaton and Harrison Ford in the comedy  Morning Glory . She played a television producer attempting to improve the poor ratings of a morning television program. The film was billed as a starring vehicle for McAdams. [116]  She initially felt she was unsuited to the role saying, "I'm not funny. So I said, 'if you need me to be funny, you might want to look somewhere else'". [117]  The film's director Roger Michell had a number of dinners with McAdams and persuaded her to join the cast. [26]   [118]  Since working with Keaton, McAdams has described her as a mentor figure. [119]  Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times said McAdams "gives the kind of performance we go to the movies for" [120]  while Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times felt she played "as lovable a lead as anyone since Amy Adams in  Junebug " in an otherwise "routine" movie. [121]  Lou Lumenick of the  New York Post  was impressed by "her gift for physical comedy", [122]  as was Variety's Andrew Barker. [123]  While Manohla Dargis of The New York Times felt she "plays her role exceptionally well" and is "effortlessly likable", it called on Hollywood to give her parts "worthy" of her talent. "Ms. McAdams has to rely on her dimples to get by. She does, but she could do better." [124]  The film was a modest commercial success, grossing $58 million worldwide from a production budget of $40 million. [125]  McAdams later expressed her disappointment that the film failed to find a larger audience. [63] 
2011–2014: Work with auteurs[edit]
In 2011, McAdams starred in Woody Allen's fantasy romantic comedy  Midnight in Paris  with her Wedding Crashers co-star Owen Wilson and Michael Sheen. The film opened the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. [126]  McAdams played Inez, the shrewish fiancée of Wilson's character Gil. Allen wrote McAdams' part for her, after hearing "glowing reports" from his friend and her former co-star Diane Keaton. [116]  He said that he was "crazy about Rachel" [127]  and wanted to give her the opportunity to play something other than "beautiful girls". [128]  The film was shot on location in Paris and McAdams has said that the experience "will always have a great place in my heart". [129]  Hadley Freeman  The Guardian  criticized that she "has morphed from the sweet thing in Wedding Crashers to the dream-crushing bitch that, according to American comedies, women become once they ensnare their man". [130]  Richard Corliss of  Time  "felt sorry for McAdams, whose usually winning presence is ground into hostile cliché". [131]  However, Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times felt she "deftly handles a part that is less amiable than usual for her" [132]  and A. O. Scott of The New York Times found her "superbly speeded-up". [133]  It became Allen's highest-grossing film ever in North America [134]  and was the most commercially successful independent film of 2011. [135]  With a production budget of $17 million, the film has grossed over $151 million worldwide. [136]  McAdams, along with six other members of the cast, received a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture nomination. [137]  Allen won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and the film itself was nominated for three other Academy Awards, including Best Picture. [138] 
     
McAdams reprised her role as Irene Adler in the mystery/action-adventure sequel  Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows , [139]  but the female lead role was played by Noomi Rapace. Joel Silver, the film's producer, has said that "we always intended to have a different kind of girl for each movie" in the vein of Bond girls. [140]  He found it "complicated" to persuade McAdams to return in a smaller role: "She loved being with us, but she hoped to have a bigger role." [140]  Joe Morgenstern of  The Wall Street Journal  felt "she vanishes all too soon in this overproduced, self-enchanted sequel, and so does the spirit of bright invention that made the previous film such a pleasant surprise." [141]  Scott Mendelson of  The Huffington Post  remarked that she "exhibits far more personality and roguish charm in her few moments here than she did in all of the previous film. Freed from the constraints of being the de-facto love interest, McAdams relishes the chance to go full-villain." [142]  The film has grossed over $543 million worldwide. [143] 
 In 2012, McAdams starred opposite Channing Tatum in the romantic drama  The Vow , based on a true story. [144]  McAdams and Tatum played a newlywed couple who try to rebuild their relationship after a car crash leaves the wife with no recollections of who he is or their marriage. McAdams was drawn to the "roller coaster" faced by her character [145]  and found it interesting that the story was told "through the guy's eyes". [146]  A. O. Scott of The New York Times stated that "the dimply and adorable Rachel McAdams" brings "enough physical charm and emotional warmth to distract from the threadbare setting and the paper-thin plot". [147]  Joseph Amodio of  Newsday  felt that McAdams, "exuding her usual uncanny warmth on-screen", "is the real draw". [148]  However, Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times felt she was "wasted" in the role: "She is such an appealing actress that it's hard not to wish someone could make better use" of her. [149]  Mary Pols of Time found the film an example of McAdams "coasting" in "unabashedly romantic" movies and asserted that "she's a much more versatile and clever actress" than such projects would suggest. [150]  The film, financed for $30 million, was a major commercial success and became her biggest box-office hit in a leading role. [151]  It topped the U.S. box office and has grossed over $196 million worldwide. [152]   [153] 
 In 2013, McAdams co-starred opposite Ben Affleck in Terrence Malick's romantic drama  To the Wonder . [154]  McAdams played a horse ranch worker in Oklahoma and the love interest of Affleck's character. [155]  She found Malick to be an "incredibly helpful" director; they discussed her character in detail and he took her on a tour of the local town, pointing out which house she would have grown up in and where she would have attended school. [63]  Upon its limited theatrical American release, the film polarized film critics. [156]  Oliver Lyttelton of  IndieWire  noted that "McAdams has the least to do of the principals, but is wonderfully haunted and sad in her brief appearances". [157]  Afterwards, McAdams starred in Brian De Palma's erotic thriller  Passion  opposite Noomi Rapace. They played two business executives engaged in a power struggle. [158]  De Palma saw McAdams' performance in Mean Girls and decided to cast her as Christine. [159]  The movie was released in selected theatres in the US. Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly noted that McAdams "uses her sexy billboard smile and emphatic delivery to nail a certain type of troublemaker boss who embeds her aggression in pert 'sincerity'" [160]  while Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times remarked: "McAdams and Rapace are gesturally awkward and wildly miscast—more sorority sisters in a spat than cross-generational power antagonists." [161] 
 In 2013, McAdams starred in Richard Curtis' romantic comedy-drama  About Time  opposite Domhnall Gleeson. [162]  Zooey Deschanel was originally slated to play McAdams's role but dropped out shortly before filming began. [163]  A fan of Curtis for years, McAdams wanted to work with him on what he stated would be his last project as a director. [164]  The film was a commercial success at the international box office, [165]  and McAdams had a positive reception among critics, with Leslie Felperin of Variety praising her and Gleeson for their "radiant, believable chemistry" which "keeps the film aloft." [166]  The following year, McAdams starred opposite Philip Seymour Hoffman in an adaptation of John le Carré's espionage thriller  A Most Wanted Man , directed by Anton Corbijn. [167]   [168]   [169]  McAdams' attempt at a German accent was criticised by some reviewers. [170]  Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair noted that McAdams had a "little less success with her accent" than her co-star Hoffman but, nonetheless, she "proves as intelligent, soulful, and magnetic a presence as ever". [171]  In late 2014, McAdams received a star on Canada's Walk of Fame. [172]   [173] 
2015–2016: Spotlight and beyond[edit]
     
In 2015, McAdams starred with Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo and Stanley Tucci as journalist Sacha Pfeiffer in Tom McCarthy's  Spotlight , a drama about the child-abuse scandal in Boston's Catholic Church. [174]  To prepare for her role, McAdams spent time with Pfeiffer. [175]   [176]  The film garnered universal critical acclaim, mainly for its detailed story and the performances of the ensemble cast, [177]  and won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Though Justin Chang of Variety felt McAdams imbued her character with "sensitivity and grit", he was nonetheless surprised by her subsequent Academy Award nomination: "[The performance] has the sort of fine-grained subtlety that voters too rarely notice. Take another look at that scene in which she gently, skillfully encourages an abuse survivor to lay bare his most lacerating secrets—a small master class in how the simple act of listening can become a conduit for compassion." [178]   [179]  For her role, McAdams received nominations for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Supporting Actress and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations in the categories of Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role and Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. [180]   [181] 
 She next starred with her Wedding Crashers co-star Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone and John Krasinski in Cameron Crowe's romantic comedy-drama  Aloha . She played the ex-girlfriend of Cooper's character, who is married to Krasinski's character with two children. [182]  While the film received a negative reaction and controversy from critics and audiences alike, [183]  Wesley Morris of Grantland remarked: "Someone who can speak Crowe's language really helps. McAdams might be the best he's ever had ... [She] puts the perfect amount of air in her lines, giving the words a lightness that conflates optimism, amusement, and resignation. She's never seemed lovelier, more instinctive, or more present." [184]  Mark Olsen of the Los Angeles Times felt she "plays likely the strongest, most rounded female character Crowe has ever written, a woman suddenly lips to lips with the life she has and the one she might have had, and the actress brings a grounded, unforced earthiness to the role that is a joy to watch." [185] 
 She co-starred with Jake Gyllenhaal in the boxing drama  Southpaw  (2015), where she played the wife of Gyllenhaal's character. [186]  A.O. Scott of The New York Times conceded: "It features some pretty appealing players. There are worse things to see at the multiplex than Ms. McAdams playing a tough cookie standing by her man." [187]  She co-starred with James Franco, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Marie-Josée Croze in Wim Wenders' drama  Every Thing Will Be Fine . The film received a U.S. limited release in December 2015. [188]  Guy Lodge of Variety remarked: "Poor McAdams, sporting sensible hair and a truly mystifying cod-Continental accent, continues her thankless run of needy, tossed-aside love interests in big-name auteur projects." [189]  That same year, McAdams returned to television and starred as Det. Ani Bezzerides in the second season of HBO's anthology crime drama  True Detective  with her Wedding Crashers co-star Vince Vaughn, Colin Farrell and Taylor Kitsch. [190]  Richard Vine of The Guardian remarked: "If there's anyone with any chance of enjoying a McConaughaissance here it's probably McAdams – an actor whose characters are more usually associated with the death of the romcom than murders involving people with eyes burned out by acid. Here, her Ani is a convincing mess." [191]  She received a nomination for the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Actress in a Movie/Miniseries for her role. [181]  Also in 2015, McAdams played Buttercup in a one-off, staged LACMA Live Read of  The Princess Bride . [192] 
 The following year, McAdams voiced The Mother of The Little Girl in an animated version of  The Little Prince , [193]  and co-starred with Benedict Cumberbatch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe superhero film  Doctor Strange . [194]  Peter Debruge of Variety said McAdams played "the most competent—and human—of Marvel's window-dressing girlfriends," [195]  while Gregory Ellwood of Indiewire remarked: "It goes without saying that McAdams will never get the credit she deserves for transforming the barely sketched out role of Strange's former medical colleague Christine Palmer into a captivating three-dimensional character that feels like an integral part of the storyline even when she isn't." [196]  Also in 2016, McAdams narrated an audiobook version of L. M. Montgomery's novel  Anne of Green Gables , released by Audible. [197] 
2018–present: Recent roles[edit]
After a year-long absence from the screen, McAdams co-starred with Jason Bateman in the comedy  Game Night  (2018). Glenn Kenny of The New York Times said the film served as a "reminder that Ms. McAdams is one of cinema's most accomplished and appealing comic actresses." [198]  Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair felt her character lacked "any real arc or motivation of her own", but "It's a testament to McAdams's talent and charm, then, that she doesn't get lost in the movie, asserting herself in every scene with a goofy brightness." [199]  She performed some of her own stunt driving in a getaway scene. [200]  
 Later in 2018, McAdams starred opposite Rachel Weisz in Sebastián Lelio's romantic drama  Disobedience , based on Naomi Alderman's novel. [201]  Manohla Dargis of The New York Times said McAdams "does some lovely work here to convey a woman agonizing over her existential situation". [202]  In 2020, she co-starred with Will Ferrell in the Netflix musical comedy film  Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga .
 McAdams reprised her role as Christine Palmer in the superhero sequel  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness . Released in May 2022, the film garnered mixed reviews. [203]   [204]  McAdams is set to star in  Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret , a film adaptation of Judy Blume's novel of the same name, [205]  scheduled for an April 2023 release.

Environmental activism[edit]
McAdams is an environmentalist. She ran an eco-friendly lifestyle website, GreenIsSexy.org, with two of her friends for five years from 2007 to 2011. [206]  Her house is powered by Bullfrog renewable energy. [207]  She travels around Toronto by bicycle and does not own a car, [208]  but drives when in Los Angeles because it is "a harder town to cycle in". [207]  She volunteered in Biloxi, Mississippi and Louisiana  [209]  in fall of 2005, as part of the clean-up effort following Hurricane Katrina. [210]  McAdams sat on a TreeHugger/Live Earth judging panel in 2007. [211]  She appealed for donations during the Canada for Haiti telethon in 2010. [212]  She was involved in Matter of Trust's "hair boom" efforts following the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill. [213]   [214]  In 2011, McAdams supported Foodstock, a protest against a proposed limestone mega quarry in Melancthon, Ontario. [215]   [216]  In 2013, she filmed two promotional videos for the Food &amp; Water First Movement, aiming to preserve prime farmland and source water in Ontario, Canada. [217]   [218]  In 2014, she narrated the feature documentary Take Me To The River, which investigates what is being done to try to save iconic rivers. [219]   [220]  In 2021, she participated in a video produced by Stand.earth calling on the government of British Columbia, Canada to stop logging the last old growth rainforests across the province. [221] 
Other causes[edit]
In 2006, McAdams took part in the "Day Without Immigrants" demonstration in Los Angeles, protesting the federal government's attempts to further criminalize immigrants living illegally in the United States. [222]  In 2011, she attended the Occupy Toronto demonstration. [215]  In 2013, McAdams volunteered with Habitat for Humanity in her hometown of St. Thomas. [223]  She has also worked with charities including the Sunshine Foundation of Canada, [224]   [225]  the Alzheimer's Association, [226]  the READ Campaign, [227]   [228]  and United Way of Canada. [229]  She is a member of Represent.Us, an anti-corruption activist organisation, and is part of its creative council. [230]

McAdams had a relationship with her  The Notebook  co-star Ryan Gosling from 2005 to 2007, [231]  before they briefly reunited in 2008. [232]   [233]  From 2010 to 2013, McAdams was in a relationship with her Midnight in Paris co-star Michael Sheen. [234]   [235] 
 In 2016, McAdams started dating American screenwriter Jamie Linden. [236]  In April 2018, she gave birth to her first child with Linden, a son. [236]   [237]   [238]  
 In August 2020, it was reported that McAdams was expecting her second child with Linden. [239]  During an interview in May 2022, she confirmed she had given birth to a daughter. [240]

Ms. McAdams, in any case, is a perfectly charming actress and performs gamely as the third wheel of this action-bromance tricycle. But Irene, though she figures in a few of Conan Doyle's stories, feels in this movie more like a somewhat cynical commercial contrivance. She offers a little something for the ladies — who, according to airtight Hollywood corporate logic, are more likely to see a movie like this one if there's a feisty woman in it — and also something for the lads, who, much as they may dig fights and explosions and guns and chases, also like girls.

As might be expected, Ms. McAdams plays her role exceptionally well: as the young actress on the verge of the big time, who can win the boy, tame the beast, flash her panties and make you smile without making you cringe, she is a natural. Now, if she can just persuade Mr. Abrams to give her a role worthy of them both. More than 20 years ago, Holly Hunter played an unapologetically smart female professional with a quiver full of comebacks: "It must be nice," her boss says "to always think you're the smartest person in the room." To which she admits, "No, it's awful." By contrast, Ms. McAdams has to rely on her dimples to get by. She does, but she could do better.

 Rachel McAdams (born November 17, 1978, London, Ontario, Canada) Canadian actress known for her versatility.

 McAdams grew up in Ontario, where she acted in the Original Kids Theatre Company and in high school plays. Although she was planning to pursue a cultural studies degree, McAdams was persuaded to study theatre instead. She entered the drama program at York University, Toronto, and earned a B.F.A. (2001) while acting professionally with the Necessary Angel Theatre Company. In 2001 she debuted on-screen in a minor role on the Disney Channel’s television show The Famous Jett Jackson. The following year she made her first feature film, My Name Is Tanino, a comedy about a summer romance.

 After moving to Los Angeles, McAdams was quickly cast as a lead in The Hot Chick (2002), in which she played a shallow high school girl who switches bodies with a male career criminal (played by Rob Schneider). She next made headlines as the malicious popular girl Regina George in Mean Girls (2004), a comedy written by Tina Fey that was a commercial and critical success. Demonstrating her versatility, in 2004 McAdams starred as Allie, a vivacious upper-class woman who must choose between her wealthy fiancé (James Marsden) and her first love (Ryan Gosling), in the adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’s best-selling novel The Notebook.

 McAdams played another love interest in the comedy Wedding Crashers (2005), but she continued to embrace movies in all genres, starring in the thriller Red Eye (2005) and the crime drama State of Play (2009). In 2009 she appeared opposite Eric Bana in The Time Traveler’s Wife, a love story based on Audrey Niffenegger’s novel of the same name. She also featured in Sherlock Holmes (2009) and its sequel (2011) as Irene Adler, a loosely interpreted version of one of the few love interests to cross Holmes’s path in the detective series by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle upon which the films were based.

 In the early 2010s McAdams had roles in several additional films with romantic themes. After portraying a plucky television producer in the comedy Morning Glory (2010), she appeared in Woody Allen’s lighthearted Midnight in Paris (2011). She subsequently starred in the tearjerker The Vow (2012), as a newlywed who develops amnesia; in Terrence Malick’s atmospheric drama To the Wonder (2012); and in About Time (2013), an introspective romantic dramedy that delved into the effects of time travel. In 2014 McAdams played a human rights lawyer in the espionage thriller A Most Wanted Man. The next year she joined the cast of the second season of True Detective, an HBO crime anthology series in which she played a hard-living police officer.

 McAdams was cast as the wife of a boxer (Jake Gyllenhaal) in the drama Southpaw and as an investigative journalist in Spotlight (both 2015), about the The Boston Globe exposé on the child molestation cover-up by the city’s Roman Catholic archdiocese. For her work in the latter film, McAdams received her first Academy Award nomination. She next appeared in Doctor Strange (2016), a sci-fi adventure about the Marvel Comics superhero. In 2017 McAdams starred in Disobedience, playing a woman whose marriage to an Orthodox rabbi is tested after the return of her former lover (played by Rachel Weisz). She later appeared in the comedies Game Night (2018) and Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020).

 Jamie Linden (born September 3, 1980) is an American screenwriter best known for We Are Marshall (2006) and Dear John (2010). He also wrote and directed 10 Years (2011) starring Channing Tatum.

 Early life [ edit ]

 Linden grew up in Winter Park, Florida[1] near Orlando, where he attended Lake Howell High School.[2][3] He attended Florida State University's College of Communication, majoring in marketing and media production.[4] After graduating from college in 2001, he and three friends traveled to Hollywood, California with tickets for game show The Price Is Right.[5] Upon arriving, he was individually called up to compete and won US$5,000 and a Tuscan wine server cart, which he saw as a sign to stay in Hollywood: "I thought, well that's a sign, 'I should stay.' What you want to do, finds you."[6]

 Career [ edit ]

 Before Linden became a screenwriter, he worked at Mirage Enterprises as an assistant to directors Sydney Pollack and Anthony Minghella.[7] After reading in a 30th anniversary article in FSView & Florida Flambeau, Florida State's student newspaper, about the 1970 Southern Airways Flight 932 plane crash that killed most of the Marshall University Thundering Herd football team,[8] Linden says he became "obsessed" with the story.[6] After moving to Hollywood, his first job involved reading feature film screenplays. After being fired from several assistant positions, he decided to write his own screenplay.[5] His first script was titled Things to Do Before I Die, co-written with University of Florida alumnus Cory Helms, and Warner Bros. gave the pair a blind deal to write another script.[5] Linden says the aftermath of the Marshall University tragedy was the very first story he ever thought of.[8] In 2004, he pitched the story to Warner Bros. with film producers Basil Iwanyk[5] and Mary Viola.[9] When Warner Bros. bought the script, Linden and other film crew met with many family members of the plane crash victims including Keith Morehouse, whose father was killed in the crash, to collaborate on the honesty of the script and the dignity of the victims.[9] The film became We Are Marshall, released in 2006 and directed by McG (Joseph McGinty Nichol), founder of Wonderland Sound and Vision.[8]

 In 2006, it was reported that Linden was writing a biographical film about Olympic gold medalist downhill skier Bill Johnson to be produced by Basil Iwanyk, as well as an adaptation of The Dogs of Babel to be produced by David Heyman and a television pilot titled Flash Back to be directed by McG.[5]

 Personal life [ edit ]

 In April 2013, Linden was a groomsman at the wedding of Friday Night Lights actor Scott Porter. They were classmates at Lake Howell High School in Winter Park, Florida.[10][11]

 In 2016, Linden started dating Canadian actress Rachel McAdams.[12] Their first child, a son, was born in April 2018. [12] In August 2020, it was reported that they were expecting their second child.[13] During an interview in May 2022, McAdams confirmed she had given birth to a daughter.[14]

[5]  His first script was titled Things to Do Before I Die, co-written with University of Florida alumnus Cory Helms, and Warner Bros. gave the pair a blind deal to write another script. [5]  Linden says the aftermath of the Marshall University tragedy was the very first story he ever thought of. [8]  In 2004, he pitched the story to Warner Bros. with film producers Basil Iwanyk  [5]  and Mary Viola. [9]  When Warner Bros. bought the script, Linden and other film crew met with many family members of the plane crash victims including Keith Morehouse, whose father was killed in the crash, to collaborate on the honesty of the script and the dignity of the victims. [9]  The film became  We Are Marshall , released in 2006 and directed by McG (Joseph McGinty Nichol), founder of Wonderland Sound and Vision. [8] 
 In 2006, it was reported that Linden was writing a biographical film about Olympic gold medalist downhill skier Bill Johnson to be produced by Basil Iwanyk, as well as an adaptation of  The Dogs of Babel  to be produced by David Heyman and a television pilot titled Flash Back to be directed by McG. [5] 
Personal life[edit]
In April 2013, Linden was a groomsman at the wedding of  Friday Night Lights  actor Scott Porter. They were classmates at Lake Howell High School in Winter Park, Florida. [10]   [11] 
 In 2016, Linden started dating Canadian actress Rachel McAdams. [12]  Their first child, a son, was born in April 2018.  [12]  In August 2020, it was reported that they were expecting their second child. [13]  During an interview in May 2022, McAdams confirmed she had given birth to a daughter. [14]

 After their low-key date, Rachel and Jamie put their masks back on as they walked back to their car and headed home for the evening.

 For the past few weeks, rumors have been swirling that Rachel is pregnant again, but these latest bump pics seem to officially confirm she has a baby on the way.

 Rachel McAdams Is Pregnant with Her Second Child, According to Reports!

 Rachel McAdams is rumored to be pregnant based on photos of her that emerged this week.

 Page Six has the pics of the 41-year-old actress stopping by Los Angeles children’s store the Reckless Unicorn recently, showing an apparent baby bump.

 This would be the second child for Rachel and her partner Jamie Linden. They have never revealed the name of their first child – a baby boy, who is now two years old.

 “It’s the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me, hands-down,” Rachel told the Sunday Times in 2018 when asked about becoming a mother. “[People say] your life is not your own any more, but I had 39 years of me, I was sick of me, I was so happy to put the focus on some other person.”

 Congrats to Rachel and Jamie on the happy news, if it’s true!

 Rachel McAdams Breaks Silence on Being a Mom

 Rachel McAdams is opening up about motherhood for the first time!

 The 40-year-old Oscar-nominated actress welcomed a baby boy back in April 2018 with her partner, screenwriter Jamie Linden.

 Rachel has been very private about both her son and her partner. She finally opened up about both of them in an interview with The Sunday Times.

 Rachel says that her son is “the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me, hands down.”

 “[People say] your life is not your own anymore. But I had 39 years of me, I was sick of me, I was so happy to put the focus on some other person. I waited a long time [for motherhood]. It’s just how it happened. And I didn’t want to do it before it was the right time,” she added.

 On deciding to be secretive about her pregnancy, she said, “I want to keep his life private, even if mine isn’t. But I’m having more fun being a mum than I’ve ever had. Everything about it is interesting and exciting and inspiring to me. Even the tough days — there’s something delightful about them.”

 Rachel also opened up about her relationship with Jamie. She said, “We live such a gypsy life as actors, so [it’s great] being with someone who can be on the road as well.”

 Rachel McAdams Is Pregnant, Expecting First Child (Report)

 Rachel McAdams is reportedly going to be a mom!

 The 39-year-old actress has been keeping a low profile recently but “multiple sources” have apparently confirmed the pregnancy news to E!

 Romantically, Rachel was last linked to Dear John screenwriter Jamie Linden in the summer of 2016. Rachel has often been very private when it comes to discussing her love life and she’s not publicly spoken about a relationship recently.

 Rachel skipped the premiere of her film Game Night last night, which prompted some speculation.

 The last photos we have of Rachel are from September at a Toronto premiere.

 We’ve reached out to her rep for comment. Congrats, if this news is true!

 Early life [ edit ]

Her paternal grandfather was French, from Oullins, Rhône, and her paternal grandmother came from a Quaker family; she also has Swiss, Dutch, English, Irish, and other French ancestry.[11][12] She was named after Zooey Glass, the male protagonist of J. D. Salinger's 1961 novella Franny and Zooey.[13] Her older sister is actress Emily Deschanel, who starred in the Fox crime comedy-drama series Bones.[14][15]

 Deschanel lived in Los Angeles, but spent much of her childhood traveling because her father shot films on location; she later said that she:[16]

 ... hated all the traveling... I'm really happy now that I had the experience, but at the time I was just so miserable to have to leave my friends in Los Angeles and go to places where they didn't have any food I liked or things I was used to.

 — Zooey Deschanel

 1999–2002: Early acting credits [ edit ]

 Deschanel had a guest appearance on the television series Veronica's Closet in 1998. She made her film debut in Lawrence Kasdan's comedy Mumford (1999), revolving around the neurotic residents in a small town and co-starring Hope Davis, Jason Lee, Alfre Woodard and Mary McDonnell.

 That same year, she appeared in a non-singing role in the music video for The Offspring's single "She's Got Issues", which premiered on September 27, 1999.[19] Deschanel was a judge for the ninth Independent Music Awards.[20] In 2005, she modeled for Chanel and Clements Ribeiro, and in 2010, she signed to represent Rimmel.[21]

 Deschanel co-starred in Cameron Crowe's semi-autobiographical Almost Famous (2000), where she played Anita Miller, the rebellious older sister of a teenage journalist. Despite a modest box office response, the film received critical praise,[22] winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Film – Musical or Comedy. Deschanel appeared in the independent drama Manic (2001), as the love interest of a troubled teen (Joseph Gordon-Levitt). The film was screened at the Sundance Film Festival and received a limited theatrical release. The New York Times found Deschanel to be "particularly spontaneous, unaffected and emotionally direct" in her role.[23]

 Following early notice, Deschanel took on supporting parts in four feature films released throughout 2002: Big Trouble, The New Guy, The Good Girl, and Abandon. In the comedy Big Trouble, with Tim Allen and Rene Russo, she played the daughter of a devoted and reluctant woman, and in the teen comedy The New Guy, starred as a guitar player in a band. Deschanel portrayed a cynical, plain-spoken young woman working in a big-box store in the black dramedy The Good Girl, opposite Jennifer Aniston and Jake Gyllenhaal. The psychological thriller Abandon saw her play the roommate of a woman involved in her boyfriend's disappearance. Deschanel also made a one-episode appearance in Frasier, as Roz's out-of-control Cousin, Jen. The New York Times reported that Deschanel was "one of Hollywood's most sought-after young stars",[13] in 2002, and the Los Angeles Times wrote in early 2003 that Deschanel had become a recognizable type, due to "her deadpan, sardonic and scene-stealing [film] performances" as the protagonist's best friend.[12] Deschanel objected to her typecasting, arguing, "A lot of these roles are just a formula idea of somebody's best friend, and it's like, I don't even have that many friends. In high school, I stayed home all the time, so I don't know how I'm everybody's best friend now."[12]

 2003–2010: Breakthrough [ edit ]

 Deschanel obtained her first leading film role debut in the independent drama All the Real Girls (2003) as Noel, a sexually curious 18-year-old virgin who has a life-changing romance with an aimless 22-year-old. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was an arthouse success. Her performance received wide critical acclaim,[12] and Variety remarked: "Performances are all credible and naturalistic, but standing out from the rest is Deschanel's work, which evinces an impressively direct connection to her character's emotions. The actress does a wonderful job presenting a young woman who is trying, with varying degrees of success, to give voice to all sorts of things she has never felt or expressed before".[24] She received an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Actress.[25] Also in 2003, Deschanel starred opposite Will Ferrell in the Christmas comedy Elf as a deadpan department store worker and the love interest of a man raised by Santa's elves.[26] Reviewers found the film to be a "spirited, good-natured family comedy" as part of an overall positive critical response;[27] and, budgeted at US$33 million, Elf made US$220.4 million worldwide.[28]

In September 2006, it was announced that Deschanel had signed on to play 1960s singer Janis Joplin in the film The Gospel According to Janis, to be co-written and directed by Penelope Spheeris.[29] The film was scheduled to begin shooting in 2006, but was then postponed indefinitely;[30] it was then resurrected again, with a planned release date of 2012, before being cancelled altogether in 2011. Deschanel expressed frustration with the cancellation, saying she had spent three years working on imitating Joplin's scratchy singing voice.[31]

 In 2007, Deschanel appeared in Bridge to Terabithia, in which she played a quirky music teacher, and the animated film Surf's Up, voicing a penguin.

 In M. Night Shyamalan's thriller The Happening (2008), she starred opposite Mark Wahlberg as a couple trying to escape from an inexplicable natural disaster. Despite largely negative reviews, critic Roger Ebert felt that Wahlberg and Deschanel's performances "bring a quiet dignity to their characters",[35] and globally, the film made US$163 million.[36] She starred in the independent comedy Gigantic (2008), which screened at the Toronto International Film Festival and was distributed for a limited release in certain parts of the United States only. In the comedy Yes Man (also 2008), she played an unorthodox singer and the girlfriend of Jim Carrey's character.[37][ self-published source ] The film grossed US$223.1 million around the world.[38]

 Deschanel reunited with Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the independent romantic drama about the development and demise of a relationship (500) Days of Summer (2009).[39] The film garnered critical acclaim and became a "sleeper hit", earning over $60 million in worldwide returns, far exceeding its $7.5 million budget.[40][41][42] Mark Adams of the Daily Mirror found the film to be a "modern romance for grown-ups" and a "sweet-natured, funny, deeply-romantic tale" blessed with "top-notch performances by Deschanel and Gordon-Levitt, who are both charming and have real chemistry".[43] In December 2009, Deschanel guest-starred in a Christmas episode of the Fox crime procedural comedy-drama Bones, which was the first-ever on-screen pairing of the Deschanel sisters.[44][45]

She might as well be a mannequin, for all she's given to say and do. This intelligent, nuanced actress, standing there baffled. Used as a placeholder".[50]

Early life[edit]
Zooey Claire Deschanel was born in Los Angeles, California, [2]  the younger daughter of cinematographer and director Caleb Deschanel and actress Mary Jo Deschanel (née Weir). Her paternal grandfather was French, from Oullins, Rhône, and her paternal grandmother came from a Quaker family; she also has Swiss, Dutch, English, Irish, and other French ancestry. [11]   [12]  She was named after Zooey Glass, the male protagonist of J. D. Salinger's 1961 novella  Franny and Zooey . [13]  Her older sister is actress Emily Deschanel, who starred in the Fox crime comedy-drama series  Bones . [14]   [15] 
 Deschanel lived in Los Angeles, but spent much of her childhood traveling because her father shot films on location; she later said that she: [16] 
 ... hated all the traveling... I'm really happy now that I had the experience, but at the time I was just so miserable to have to leave my friends in Los Angeles and go to places where they didn't have any food I liked or things I was used to.  — Zooey Deschanel  
She attended Crossroads, a private preparatory school in Santa Monica, where she befriended future co-stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Kate Hudson. [13]   [17]  [ time needed ] She sang throughout high school, planning to pursue a career in musical theatre and attending French Woods Festival of the Performing Arts. [12]  She attended Northwestern University for nine months before dropping out to pursue acting. [16]   [18] 
Acting career[edit]
        This section needs to be updated. Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. (February 2021)     
1999–2002: Early acting credits[edit]
Deschanel had a guest appearance on the television series  Veronica's Closet  in 1998. She made her film debut in Lawrence Kasdan's comedy  Mumford  (1999), revolving around the neurotic residents in a small town and co-starring Hope Davis, Jason Lee, Alfre Woodard and Mary McDonnell.
 That same year, she appeared in a non-singing role in the music video for The Offspring's single "She's Got Issues", which premiered on September 27, 1999. [19]  Deschanel was a judge for the ninth Independent Music Awards. [20]  In 2005, she modeled for Chanel and Clements Ribeiro, and in 2010, she signed to represent Rimmel. [21] 
 Deschanel co-starred in Cameron Crowe's semi-autobiographical  Almost Famous  (2000), where she played Anita Miller, the rebellious older sister of a teenage journalist. Despite a modest box office response, the film received critical praise, [22]  winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Film – Musical or Comedy. Deschanel appeared in the independent drama  Manic  (2001), as the love interest of a troubled teen (Joseph Gordon-Levitt). The film was screened at the Sundance Film Festival and received a limited theatrical release.  The New York Times  found Deschanel to be "particularly spontaneous, unaffected and emotionally direct" in her role. [23] 
 Following early notice, Deschanel took on supporting parts in four feature films released throughout 2002:  Big Trouble ,  The New Guy ,  The Good Girl , and  Abandon . In the comedy Big Trouble, with Tim Allen and Rene Russo, she played the daughter of a devoted and reluctant woman, and in the teen comedy The New Guy, starred as a guitar player in a band. Deschanel portrayed a cynical, plain-spoken young woman working in a big-box store in the black dramedy The Good Girl, opposite Jennifer Aniston and Jake Gyllenhaal. The psychological thriller Abandon saw her play the roommate of a woman involved in her boyfriend's disappearance. Deschanel also made a one-episode appearance in  Frasier , as Roz's out-of-control Cousin, Jen. The New York Times reported that Deschanel was "one of Hollywood's most sought-after young stars", [13]  in 2002, and the  Los Angeles Times  wrote in early 2003 that Deschanel had become a recognizable type, due to "her deadpan, sardonic and scene-stealing [film] performances" as the protagonist's best friend. [12]  Deschanel objected to her typecasting, arguing, "A lot of these roles are just a formula idea of somebody's best friend, and it's like, I don't even have that many friends. In high school, I stayed home all the time, so I don't know how I'm everybody's best friend now." [12] 
2003–2010: Breakthrough[edit]
Deschanel obtained her first leading film role debut in the independent drama  All the Real Girls  (2003) as Noel, a sexually curious 18-year-old virgin who has a life-changing romance with an aimless 22-year-old. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was an arthouse success. Her performance received wide critical acclaim, [12]  and Variety remarked: "Performances are all credible and naturalistic, but standing out from the rest is Deschanel's work, which evinces an impressively direct connection to her character's emotions. The actress does a wonderful job presenting a young woman who is trying, with varying degrees of success, to give voice to all sorts of things she has never felt or expressed before". [24]  She received an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Actress. [25]  Also in 2003, Deschanel starred opposite Will Ferrell in the Christmas comedy  Elf  as a deadpan department store worker and the love interest of a man raised by Santa's elves. [26]  Reviewers found the film to be a "spirited, good-natured family comedy" as part of an overall positive critical response; [27]  and, budgeted at US$33 million, Elf made US$220.4 million worldwide. [28] 
     
In 2004, Deschanel starred in  Eulogy , and in 2005 played Trillian in the film adaptation of Douglas Adams's science fiction novel  The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy . She acted in  Winter Passing  (2005), co-starring Will Ferrell. Deschanel next appeared in  Failure to Launch  (2006), as the neurotic roommate of Sarah Jessica Parker's character. She also had a recurring role in four episodes of the Showtime television series  Weeds  from 2006 to 2007 where she played Kat, Andy Botwin's quirky ex-girlfriend. In September 2006, it was announced that Deschanel had signed on to play 1960s singer Janis Joplin in the film The Gospel According to Janis, to be co-written and directed by Penelope Spheeris. [29]  The film was scheduled to begin shooting in 2006, but was then postponed indefinitely; [30]  it was then resurrected again, with a planned release date of 2012, before being cancelled altogether in 2011. Deschanel expressed frustration with the cancellation, saying she had spent three years working on imitating Joplin's scratchy singing voice. [31] 
 In 2007, Deschanel appeared in  Bridge to Terabithia , in which she played a quirky music teacher, and the animated film  Surf's Up , voicing a penguin. She took on the brief role of Dorothy Evans in the revisionist Western  The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford  and starred in the B comedy  Flakes , which was released in only one theater. [32]  Deschanel starred as DG in the Syfy miniseries  Tin Man , a re-imagined science fiction version of  The Wonderful Wizard of Oz . It aired in December 2007. Deschanel also narrated the children's book Players in Pigtails. [33]  [ third-party source needed ] She voiced Mary, Cletus's daughter in three episodes of  The Simpsons  since debuting on the April 27, 2008, episode, "Apocalypse Cow". [34] 
 In M. Night Shyamalan's thriller  The Happening  (2008), she starred opposite Mark Wahlberg as a couple trying to escape from an inexplicable natural disaster. Despite largely negative reviews, critic Roger Ebert felt that Wahlberg and Deschanel's performances "bring a quiet dignity to their characters", [35]  and globally, the film made US$163 million. [36]  She starred in the independent comedy  Gigantic  (2008), which screened at the Toronto International Film Festival and was distributed for a limited release in certain parts of the United States only. In the comedy  Yes Man  (also 2008), she played an unorthodox singer and the girlfriend of Jim Carrey's character. [37]  [ self-published source ] The film grossed US$223.1 million around the world. [38] 
 Deschanel reunited with Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the independent romantic drama about the development and demise of a relationship  (500) Days of Summer  (2009). [39]  The film garnered critical acclaim and became a "sleeper hit", earning over $60 million in worldwide returns, far exceeding its $7.5 million budget. [40]   [41]   [42]  Mark Adams of the  Daily Mirror  found the film to be a "modern romance for grown-ups" and a "sweet-natured, funny, deeply-romantic tale" blessed with "top-notch performances by Deschanel and Gordon-Levitt, who are both charming and have real chemistry". [43]  In December 2009, Deschanel guest-starred in a Christmas episode of the Fox crime procedural comedy-drama  Bones , which was the first-ever on-screen pairing of the Deschanel sisters. [44]   [45] 
2010–present: New Girl and other projects[edit]
     
Deschanel was originally the top choice for Janet van Dyne / The Wasp in an early draft of Joss Whedon's  The Avengers  in which she would have played a prominent role. However, once Scarlett Johansson was cast as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow, Deschanel was no longer in consideration to portray the Wasp with Janet's daughter Hope van Dyne taking up the mantle in the Infinity Saga, played by Evangeline Lilly. [46] 
Deschanel starred in the comedy  Our Idiot Brother  (2011) as the independent and bisexual sister of a dimwitted but idealistic man (Paul Rudd). The production was screened at the Sundance Film Festival, to a generally positive critical reception. [47]  She played Belladonna in the stoner fantasy-comedy  Your Highness  (2011), with Danny McBride and James Franco. [48]  The film received negative reviews and bombed at the box office. [49]  Describing her role, Roger Ebert noted in its review for the film: "[Deschanel is] brought onstage, quickly kidnapped by an evil sorcerer, spends a good deal of time as a captive in his lair, is rescued and lives happily ever after. She might as well be a mannequin, for all she's given to say and do. This intelligent, nuanced actress, standing there baffled. Used as a placeholder". [50] 
 Deschanel signed on to star as a bubbly and offbeat teacher Jessica "Jess" Day on the Fox sitcom  New Girl , created by Elizabeth Meriwether. She became a producer on the show and helped build the character, [51]  which she has described as a part of her, especially in regards to "the sort of enthusiasm and optimism" of her youth. [52]  The series premiered in September 2011, and  USA Today  described her performance as "a role tailored to launch her from respected indie actor to certified [television] star, Deschanel soars, combining well-honed skills with a natural charm". [53]  She has received an Emmy Award nomination and three Golden Globe nominations for her role. [54]   [55]  The series finale ran on May 15, 2018. [56] 
 Deschanel hosted  Saturday Night Live  on February 11, 2012. [57]  That same year, she was featured in a commercial for the iPhone 4S (Siri). [58] 
 In  Rock the Kasbah  (2015), she played a Los Angeles singer taken to Afghanistan by her former manager (Bill Murray). Despite a US$15 million budget, the comedy only made US$3 million at the North American box office. [59]  She obtained the role of a mysterious woman in the neo-noir drama  The Driftless Area  (2015), screened at the Tribeca Film Festival and released on video on demand and home media. [60]  She voiced a kind-hearted Bergen, Bridget, in the animated family comedy  Trolls  (2016), which grossed US$344 million worldwide. [61] 
 In December 2020, Deschanel appeared in the music video for Katy Perry's song "Not the End of the World". [62] 
 In 2021, she co-hosted the ABC television series  The Celebrity Dating Game  with Michael Bolton. [63] 
 In January 2022, she began cohosting Welcome to Our Show, a New Girl rewatch podcast with co-stars Hannah Simone and Lamorne Morris, distributed by IHeartRadio. [64]

[67]   [68]  It received a strong response from critics, with  Paste  magazine voting it the No. 1 Album of 2008. Patrick Caldwell of the  Austin American Statesman  wrote: "The album gently rambled through 13 tracks of sun-dappled pop, with a gentle Orbisonian charm and sweet, wistful vocals from Deschanel." [69] 
     
Deschanel recorded "The Fabric of My Life" for a 2009 advertising campaign for Cotton Incorporated. [70]  On March 23, 2010, the second She &amp; Him album,  Volume Two , was released.

Ward's sixth solo album,  A Wasteland Companion  (2012). [76] 
 During a May 2012 performance at the Ryman Auditorium, country music singer Loretta Lynn announced that she was in the development stages of creating a Broadway musical from her autobiography and Deschanel would play the title role., saying, "There's a little girl back stage that's going to do the play of 'Coal Miner's Daughter' on Broadway". She then brought Deschanel onstage and the two sang a duet of the title song. [77]  On September 21, 2012, it was announced that Deschanel was producing the comedy Must Be Nice, written by New Girl consulting producer J. J. Philbin. [78] 
 She and Him's next album,  Volume 3  was released by Merge Records in May 2013. In the 15-track album, Deschanel wrote eleven songs, while three others are cover songs.

Deschanel made her on-screen singing debut in The New Guy (2002). In Elf (2003), she sings "Baby, It's Cold Outside" with Will Ferrell in the bathroom shower scene, "Auld Lang Syne" with James Caan on piano and with Leon Redbone on the soundtrack. Her piano composition "Bittersuite" was used thematically in the dark dramedy  Winter Passing  (2006), in which she co starred with Ferrell and Ed Harris, and also sings "My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean" in the film. [85] 
 In 2007, other singing credits followed: the television musical  Once Upon a Mattress  ("An Opening for a Princess", "In a Little While", "Normandy", and "Yesterday I Loved You"); [86]  an old cabaret song in  The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford  ("A Bird in a Gilded Cage"); and the short film  Raving  ("Hello, Dolly!"). Deschanel and a cast of school children sing the Steve Earle song "Someday" and War's "Why Can't We Be Friends?" in  Bridge to Terabithia .
 In Yes Man (2008), Deschanel sings several songs featured in the film and on the film soundtrack, and is shown singing "Uh-Huh" and "Sweet Ballad" with San Franciscan all-girl electro soul-punk group Von Iva in a fictional band called "Munchausen by Proxy". [87]  In  500 Days of Summer  (2009), Deschanel sings a cover of The Smiths's "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want" and it appears on the soundtrack of the film, as performed by She &amp; Him.

Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt did a music video, called Bank Dance, directed by 500 Days of Summer director Marc Webb, to accompany the film. It uses the She &amp; Him song "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?", and some complicated choreography, choreographed by Michael Rooney. Mason Novick, the film's producer said, "We made the short because Zooey came in and said, 'I have this idea ... because I didn't get to dance in the movie'" (as Gordon-Levitt did). [89]

[98]  [ time needed ] She used to be a vegan, [99]  which she gave up because she found it difficult to eat enough calories on a vegan diet due to her sensitivities to wheat and soy. [100]  A year prior to giving up her vegan diet, she was featured on episode eight of season one of Bravo's  Top Chef Masters , in which the chefs participating in the competition were challenged to cater a vegan lunch party for her family and friends using no soy or gluten. [101]  After speaking with many food experts and farmers in her role as the host of the ATTN: series, Your Food's Roots, she has since gone back to eating a vegetarian diet, citing the difficulty in knowing whether the animals used for meat have been sustainably and humanely raised.
