Home Biography Pictures Wallpapers Videos NewsRachel McAdams was born on October 7, 1976 in London, Ontario, Canada and grew up in St. Thomas. Her father, Lance, is a truck driver, and her mother, Sandy (Sandra), is a nurse. She has a younger sister, Kayleen, and younger brother, Daniel. At the age of four, she took up competitive figure skating. Rachel took up acting at age thirteen at a summer theater camp. When the company extended to a year-round company, she was invited to continue with them. She attended Central Elgin Collegiate Institute in St. Thomas from grade nine to OAC and starred in the award winning student production "I live in a Little Town". Later she graduated from York University with honors and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in theatre. During her senior year at York University in Toronto, she played a child in The Piper - a workshop led by a creative team from Toronto's Necessary Angel Theatre Company. She also attended Original Kids Theatre Company in London, Ontario, as well as David Rothenberg's on-camera acting class in Toronto with fellow actors Scott Speedman, Kenneth Mitchell, Polly Shannon and David Sutcliffe.
Her professional acting career began in 2001 when she appeared on the Disney TV series The Famous Jett Jackson. Her next project was a lead role in the short-lived TV series, Shotgun Love Dolls (2001), followed by a small role in an episode of Earth: Final Conflict (2002). Her portfolio expanded with projects such as My Name Is Tanino (2002), Perfect Pie (2002), The Hot Chick (2002), the Canadian television series Slings and Arrows (2003), The Notebook (2004), and Mean Girls (2004). The latter two were stand-out performances and solidified her up-and-coming status in Hollywood.
In 2005, she played Owen Wilson's love interest in Wedding Crashers. Rachel then starred in the suspense thriller Red Eye as Lisa Reisert, a young woman held captive aboard a red-eye jet by criminal-for-hire and assassin Jackson Rippner (played by Cillian Murphy), whose name is a pseudonym based on Jack the Ripper. Her most recent role is in the comedy The Family Stone where she stars alongside Diane Keaton, Craig T. Nelson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Dermot Mulroney, Luke Wilson, Brian J. White and Claire Danes. Despite having appeared nude and/or topless in few of her movie scenes, McAdams abruptly opted out of a cover shoot for Vanity Fair alongside two other Hollywood "It girls," Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley, upon finding out it was to be nude. Tom Ford, artistic director for the cover, instead appeared with them. Ford had prearranged the shoot with McAdams's rep, Wolf Kasteller s Amy Van Iden. When McAdams appeared on set and discovered it was nude, she politely declined, according to Keira Knightley. She also reportedly fired Van Iden. McAdams turned down the role of the Bond girl in Casino Royale and it was given to Eva Green. She was also considered for the role of Susan Stom/Invisible Woman in Fantastic Four and was going to star in The Last Kiss across Zach Braff. However, she had to leave the project due to a scheduling conflict. Jacinda Barrett then stepped in to replace her. She will soon be seen in the 2007 movie Marriage.
