Rachel McAdamsis no ordinary star.
She has neither a colossal filmography nor a social media presence to keep her in the headlines.
It explains the sporadic nature of her film appearances that, though robust, are finite.
Even so, her commitment to her acting craft is unquestionable.
Here’s what she has been up to.
(The occasion usually being her personal life.)
Her explanation was simple.
She took many such breathers in subsequent years.
And I think it sort of allowed me to come in from a different doorway."
It was the same year she welcomed her first child with Jamie Linden, her partner since 2016.
It’s Me, Margaret."
Luckily for her, she had supportive co-workers on set.
Her youthful dreams of conquering the stage were all but gone though.
Critical reception for the play has been positive and the experience, a profound one for McAdams.
“It was just undeniably powerful, and felt necessary.”
The contrast between theater and films was huge and left McAdams raving about the power of the stage medium.
“You just get so much time with the material and so much time to mess it up.
Although she always came around to accept that things worked out the way they should have.
she mused to Bustle.
“It’s taken years to understand what I intuitively was doing.”
Unlike a lot of her industry colleagues, acting doesn’t come easy to McAdams.
That seems like a hard pill to digest, considering the incredible milestones that mark her career.
Post-2015, she has been hitting it out of the park with just one film a year.
“I’ll keep trying different genres except horror.”
She walked off set and later also fired the publicist who was responsible for this debacle.
“But not as myself on the cover of a magazine about Hollywood’s most powerful young women.”
(Toback has denied the accusations against him.)
““I was struggling with that a little bit, with the exposure.”
Even so, McAdams has not been one to lean into her A-lister status.
Right after her popularity boomed in the early aughts, she eschewed the increased attention coming her way.
That is not to say that McAdams wasn’t serious about her acting ambitions.
Clearly, Rachel doesn’t play by the rules of showbiz that value acting continuity.
