RACHEL McADAMS' (Mary) transformative
performances have established her as one of
Hollywood's most sought-after and respected actors.
McAdams' 2013 has
been very busy. First up

after his marriage to a European woman falls apart. The
film premiered at the 2012 Venice International Film
Festival and then screened at the Toronto International
Film Festival. McAdams can also be seen in Brian De
