Rachel McAdams was born in Ontario on November 17, 1978. Accustomed to being in the spotlight, McAdams began figure skating when she was 4, but she began acting during her 12th summer. She's looked dramatically different in her parts as the blond "queen-bee" in Mean Girls, a young 1940's redhead in The Notebook, and as a brunette in Wedding Crashers and Red Eye. She had rotten luck for the past year, losing a few roles and having a few movies fall through. Don't fret, McAdams will appear on the big-screen soon in the upcoming, Sherlock Holmes.
