Biloxi
Biloxi (
/bəˈlʌksi/ bə-LUK-see) is a city in Harrison County, Mississippi. The 2010 census recorded the population as 44,054. Along with the adjoining city of Gulfport, Biloxi is a county seat of Harrison County.
The city is part of the Gulfport-Biloxi metropolitan area and the Gulfport-Biloxi-Pascagoula, Mississippi Combined Statistical Area. Pre-Katrina, Biloxi was the third largest city in Mississippi; but with its population losses following that storm, Hattiesburg now has that distinction. Also, in the 2010 census, Southaven is shown as the fourth largest city, so Biloxi is now ranked fifth in the state.
The beachfront of Biloxi lies directly on the Mississippi Sound, with barrier islands scattered off the coast and into the Gulf of Mexico.
Keesler Air Force Base lies within the city and is home to the 81st Training Wing and the 403d Wing of the U.S. Air Force Reserve.
Biloxi is located at 30°24′43″N 88°55′40″W / 30.41194°N 88.92778°W / 30.41194; -88.92778 (30.412029, -88.927829) and has an elevation of 20 feet (6.1 m).

Harbord Village
Harbord Village is a neighbourhood in Toronto, Canada. It lies just to the west of the University of Toronto, with its most commonly accepted borders being Bloor Street on the north, Spadina Avenue on the east, College Street to the south, and Bathurst Street to the west. Areas west of Bathurst, as far as Ossington are also sometimes included, though they are not covered by the residents' association. The area was previously known as Sussex-Ulster, after two of the major east west streets in the area. In 2000 the residents' association decided to rename itself and the area Harbord Village, after the main street running through the middle of the community. The area is also sometimes referred to as the South Annex after the better known “Annex” community to the north. The city of Toronto for administrative purposes places Harbord Village and most of the St. George campus into a region it calls “University.”
The area was built up in the late nineteenth century as a middle class community, not as prosperous as the mansions of the Annex to the north, but also not a poor and immigrant-heavy neighbourhood like Kensington Market just to the south. In the 20th century it became an immigrant reception area, linked to Little Italy just to the west. By the 1960s it was heavily populated by students and other young people linked to the university. Parts of the area were designated under the city′s slum clearance program. In 1968 this began as the block along Robert Street, south of Bloor, was demolished to make way for highrise towers, similar to those of St. James Town. The local residents organized to block this move, founding the Sussex-Ulster Residents' Association. They were successful, smaller towers were built on part of the land and the rest was given to the University of Toronto which uses it as a sports field.

London, Ontario
London is a city in Southwestern Ontario, Canada, situated along the Quebec City–Windsor Corridor. The city has a population of 366,151 according to the 2011 Canadian census. London is the seat of Middlesex County, at the forks of the non-navigable Thames River, approximately halfway between Toronto, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan. The City of London is a separated municipality, politically separate from Middlesex County, though it remains the official county seat.
London was first settled by Europeans between 1801 and 1804 by Peter Hagerman and became a village in 1826. Since then, London has grown into the largest Southwestern Ontario municipality, annexing many of the smaller communities that surrounded it. The city has developed a strong focus towards education, health care, tourism, and manufacturing.
London is home to Fanshawe College and the University of Western Ontario, which contributes to the city's reputation as an international centre of higher education, scientific research and cultural activity. The city hosts a number of musical and artistic exhibits. London's festivals contribute to its tourism industry, but its economic activity is centred on education, medical research, insurance, and information technology. London's university and hospitals are among its top ten employers. London lies at the junction of Highway 401 and 402, connecting it to Toronto, Detroit, and Sarnia. It also has an international airport, train and bus station.

St. Thomas, Ontario
St. Thomas is a city in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. It is the seat for Elgin County and gained its city charter on March 4, 1881.
The city, located at the intersection of two historical roads, was first settled in 1810. It was named the seat of the new Elgin County in 1844 and was incorporated as a village in 1852, as a town in 1861. In 1881 St. Thomas finally grew to become a city.
Ten years after the incorporation as a town ( in 1871 ), the developing village of Millersburg, which included these lands east of the London and Port Stanley Railway, amalgamated with St. Thomas.
In the late 19th century and early 20th century several railways were constructed through the city, and St. Thomas became an important railway junction. A total of 26 railways have passed through the city since the first railway was completed in 1856. In the 1950s and 1960s, with the decline of the railway as a mode of transportation, other industry began to locate in the city, principally primary and secondary automotive manufacturing.

Mitchell began singing in small nightclubs in Saskatchewan and Western Canada and then busking in the streets and dives of Toronto. In 1965 she moved to the United States and, touring constantly, began to be recognized when her original songs ("Urge for Going," "Chelsea Morning," "Both Sides, Now," "The Circle Game") were covered by notable folk singers, allowing her to sign with Reprise Records and record her own debut album in 1968. Settling in Southern California, Mitchell and her popular songs like "Big Yellow Taxi" and "Woodstock" helped define an era and a generation. Her more starkly personal 1971 recording Blue has been called one of the best albums ever made.

In the late 1980s, Smith achieved modest fame as a rapper under the name The Fresh Prince. In 1990, his popularity increased dramatically when he starred in the popular television series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The show ran for nearly six years (1990–1996) on NBC and has been syndicated consistently on various networks since then. In the mid-1990s, Smith moved from television to film, and ultimately starred in numerous blockbuster films. He is the only actor to have eight consecutive films gross over $100 million in the domestic box office and the only one to have eight consecutive films in which he starred open at #1 spot in the domestic box office tally.

William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare (baptised 26 April 1564; died 23 April 1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His surviving works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
Shakespeare was born and brought up in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. He appears to have retired to Stratford around 1613 at age 49, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive, and there has been considerable speculation about such matters as his physical appearance, sexuality, religious beliefs, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others.

Woody Allen
Woody Allen (born Allan Stewart Konigsberg, December 1, 1935) is an award-winning American screenwriter, director, actor, comedian, author, and playwright, whose career spans over half a century.
He began as a comedy writer in the 1950s, penning jokes and scripts for television and also publishing several books of short humor pieces. In the early 1960s, Allen started performing as a stand-up comic, emphasizing monologues rather than traditional jokes. As a comic, he developed the persona of an insecure, intellectual, fretful nebbish, which he insists is quite different from his real-life personality. In 2004, Comedy Central ranked Allen in fourth place on a list of the 100 greatest stand-up comics, while a UK survey ranked Allen as the third greatest comedian.
By the mid-1960s Allen was writing and directing films, first specializing in slapstick comedies before moving into more dramatic material influenced by European art films during the 1970s. He is often identified as part of the New Hollywood wave of filmmakers of the mid-1960s to late '70s. Allen often stars in his own films, typically in the persona he developed as a standup. The best-known of his over 40 films include the Academy Award-winners Annie Hall (1977), Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) and Midnight in Paris (2011); and the Golden Globe-winning The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985). Critic Roger Ebert has described Allen as "a treasure of the cinema."

Zac Efron
Zachary David Alexander "Zac" Efron (born October 18, 1987) is an American actor and singer. He began acting professionally in the early 2000s and became known with his lead roles in the Disney Channel Original Movie High School Musical, the WB series Summerland, and the 2007 film version of the Broadway musical Hairspray. Efron has since starred in the films 17 Again, Me and Orson Welles, Charlie St. Cloud, New Year's Eve, and The Lucky One.
In 2007, Rolling Stone declared him the "poster boy for tweenyboppers" and featured him in their late August 2007 issue.
Efron was born in San Luis Obispo, California, and later moved to Arroyo Grande, California. His father, David Efron, is an electrical engineer at a power station, and his mother, Starla Baskett, is a former secretary who worked at the same power plant. Efron has a younger brother, Dylan, and had, as he has described it, a "normal childhood" in a middle class family. He is an agnostic, having never been religious. His surname, "Efron", means "lark" in Hebrew (his paternal grandfather was Jewish).

 McAdams at the Berlin premiere of Sherlock Holmes in 2010 |
|
| Born | Rachel Anne McAdams (1978-11-17) November 17, 1978 (age 33) London, Ontario, Canada |
| Occupation | Actress |
| Years active | 2001–present |
| Partner | Michael Sheen (2010–present) |
Rachel Anne McAdams (born November 17, 1978) is a Canadian actress. After graduating from a four-year theatre program at York University in 2001, McAdams initially worked in Canadian television and film productions such as My Name is Tanino, Perfect Pie (for which she received a Genie Award nomination) and Slings and Arrows (for which she won a Gemini Award). Her first Hollywood movie was the 2002 comedy The Hot Chick. McAdams found fame in 2004 with starring roles in the teen comedy Mean Girls and the romantic drama The Notebook. In 2005, she appeared in the romantic comedy Wedding Crashers, the psychological thriller Red Eye and the family drama The Family Stone. She was hailed by the media as "the new Hollywood it girl"[1][2] and received a BAFTA nomination for Best Rising Star.
However, McAdams withdrew from public life in 2006 and 2007. During this time, she turned down leading roles in high-profile films such as The Devil Wears Prada. She made a low-key return to work in 2008, starring in two limited release films: the film noir Married Life and the road trip movie The Lucky Ones. She returned to prominence in 2009 with appearances in the political thriller State of Play, the science-fiction romance Time Traveler's Wife, TheThe Time Traveler's Wife and the action-adventure film Sherlock Holmes. McAdams's first star vehicle was the 2010 comedy Morning Glory. In 2011, she starred in Woody Allen's romantic comedy Midnight in Paris and made a cameo appearance in the action-adventure sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. McAdams starred in 2012's romantic drama The Vow, and will next appear in Terrence Malick's To the Wonder and Brian De Palma's Passion.
McAdams lives in the Harbord Village neighborhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She has dated both Ryan Gosling and Josh Lucas and is in a relationship with Michael Sheen. She is an environmentalist.

Early life[link]
Rachel Anne McAdams was born in London, Ontario[3][4][1][5] and grew up in nearby St. Thomas.[6] Her mother, Sandra (née Gale), is a nurse, and her father, Lance, is a retired truck driver and furniture mover.[7] McAdams has two younger siblings: Kayleen, a celebrity make-up artist, and Daniel.[8] McAdams began figure skating at the age of four[8][9] but turned down an opportunity to move to Toronto at the age of nine for pairs training.[8] Skating then became merely "a hobby".[10] She competed in the sport until the age of 18, winning regional awards.[6][11][12] She has since said that skating prepared her for physical acting, because it trained her to be "in tune" with her body.[13]
McAdams was educated at Myrtle Street Public School and, later, Central Elgin Collegiate Institute.[6][14] She did not enjoy school and, to avoid attending, she often pretended to be sick.[15] Nonetheless, she played an active role in student life. In addition to playing sports, McAdams served on the student council, participated in the Crimestoppers program and was a member of the Peer Helping Team.[6] She worked at a McDonalds restaurant during the summer holidays for three years.[9][16]
McAdams first developed an interest in performing when she was seven and, while her parents didn't discourage her, they didn't "go out and find [her] an agent".[17] She attended both Disney and Shakespeare summer camps as a child.[17] From the age of twelve, McAdams appeared in Original Kids Theatre Company, London productions.[7][18] In her late teens, she directed children's theatre productions.[9] She was also involved in school stage productions, most notably winning a performance award at the Sears Ontario Drama Festival.[6][19] She was inspired by a married couple who taught English and Drama respectively in Grades 11 and 12. They gave her a love for the works of Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell and encouraged her to lose her inhibitions when performing.[19] McAdams intended to take Cultural Studies at university before being persuaded by her Drama teacher that a professional acting career was a viable option.[6][19][20] She enrolled in York University's four-year theatre program and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts honours degree in 2001.[18][21] While at university, McAdams worked with the Toronto-based Necessary Angel Theatre Company.[22]
Career[link]
Rise to fame (2001–2005)[link]
McAdams made her first onscreen appearance in Shotgun Love Dolls, a 2001 MTV pilot filmed during a spring break from York University.[17] McAdams also made her first feature film appearance that year in My Name is Tanino. The Italian-Canadian co-production was filmed in Sicily and it marked the 22-year-old actress's first time on an airplane.[23][24] McAdams later earned a Genie Award nomination in her native Canada for her role as a teenage Wendy Crewson in Perfect Pie.[11] Her first Hollywood movie was 2002's The Hot Chick which McAdams has described as a "huge milestone" in her career.[15] She played a catty high school student who swaps bodies with a small-time criminal.[11] The Los Angeles Times felt she "emerges as a young actress of much promise"[25] while the Daily Mail described McAdams and Anna Faris as "talents to watch, but they are let down by everything around them".[26] The film grossed $54 million worldwide.[27] McAdams then returned to Canada to star in Slings and Arrows, a mini-series about backstage theatre life.[28] She was written out of the second season of the program following her success in the United States.[21] She received two Gemini Award nominations for her work on the program, with one win.[29][30]
McAdams' breakout role came in the 2004 teen comedy Mean Girls. The 25-year-old was cast as Regina George, a malicious teenage queen bee, and she looked to Alec Baldwin's performance in Glengarry Glen Ross for character inspiration.[31] USA Today praised her "comic flair"[32] while The Daily Telegraph found her "delightfully hateful".[33] The San Francisco Chronicle felt that "McAdams brings glamour and magnetism to Regina, but also the right hint of comic distance.[34] The film grossed $129 million worldwide[35] and earned McAdams two MTV Movie Awards.[36] Mean Girls later reached number 12 in an Entertainment Weekly list of the Greatest Ever High School Movies.[37] Tina Fey, who wrote the script and co-starred in the film, has credited McAdams with teaching her to act for 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."[38]
McAdams's second role of 2004 was in the romantic drama The Notebook, a film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks's novel. She played a wealthy Southern belle who has a forbidden affair with Ryan Gosling's poor laborer.[11][39] McAdams spent time in Charleston, South Carolina prior to filming to familiarize herself with the accent,[40] and took ballet and etiquette classes.[21] Filming took place in late 2002 and early 2003.[41] Although Gosling and McAdams became romantically involved in 2005, they had a combative relationship on set.[42] "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."[43] At one point, Gosling asked director Nick Cassavetes to "bring somebody else in for my off-camera shot" because he felt McAdams was being uncooperative.[42] The New York Times praised the "spontaneous and combustible" performances of the two leads[44] while Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times was won over by the "beauty and clarity" of McAdams's performance.[45] The Chicago Tribune declared her "a real discovery" who "infuses young Allie with that radiant, breathlessly winning ingenue grace and charm that breaks hearts".[46] The film grossed over $115 million worldwide.[47] McAdams won an MTV Movie Award and four Teen Choice Awards.[36][48] Entertainment Weekly has said that the movie contains the All-Time Best Movie Kiss[49] while the Los Angeles Times has included a scene from the film in a list of the 50 Classic Movie Kisses.[50] The Notebook has appeared on many Most Romantic Movies lists.[51][52][53][54] "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".[55]
2005 saw McAdams star in three films. In the comedy Wedding Crashers, McAdams played Claire Cleary, the daughter of an influential politician and a love interest for both Owen Wilson and Bradley Cooper's characters.[56][57] McAdams listened repeatedly to Landslide by Fleetwood Mac to prepare for emotional scenes and Wilson has said the song made her cry immediately: "It was like turning on a faucet".[13] She trained for a sailing certification for a boating sequence because her character was said to be an accomplished sailor.[58] Manohla Dargis of The New York Times felt McAdams "makes the most of her underdeveloped character" and "grows more appealing with every new role".[59] Variety found her "a beguiling presence" who "actually creates a real character – a rarity for females in one of these lad-mag escapades".[60] From a production budget of $40 million, the film grossed over $285 million worldwide.[56]
McAdams next appeared opposite Cillian Murphy in Red Eye, a Wes Craven thriller about a young hotel manager held captive aboard a red-eye flight. Craven has said McAdams was the only actress he considered for the part.[61] She was drawn to the relatable qualities of her character: "She was not some sweaty, tank-top-wearing, Uzi-carrying super woman".[62] Variety found her "increasingly impressive"[63] while Roger Ebert 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."[64] Upon release, the film, which was made on a budget of $26 million, earned over $95 million at the worldwide box office.[65]
A supporting role in the seasonal family drama The Family Stone was McAdams's final film appearance of 2005. The film, an ensemble with Diane Keaton, Sarah Jessica Parker, Luke Wilson and Claire Danes, gave McAdams an opportunity to play a disheveled, sardonic sister, rather than the usual "obvious" girlfriend or wife roles.[66][67] 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."[68] Variety noted that "a deglammed but still radiant McAdams proves once again that she's the real deal, delivering a deliciously feisty performance".[69] The New York Times felt that her "engaging screen presence holds your attention and sympathy despite the handicap presented by her character's personality."[70] The film was a commercial success: it cost $18 million to make and grossed over $92 million worldwide.[71]
Career break and low-key return (2006–2008)[link]
At this point in her career, McAdams was hailed as "the next Julia Roberts"[1] and the new "Hollywood it girl".[2] Vanity Fair invited McAdams, along with Scarlett Johannson and Keira Knightley, to appear on their March 2006 cover, the annual Hollywood issue. Upon arrival on the photo set, McAdams discovered it was a nude session and left. She later parted ways with her publicist who had failed to inform her in advance.[72] 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."[73] When asked about the incident in 2008, McAdams had "no regrets”.[74]
McAdams withdrew from public life in 2006 and 2007, taking time off to focus on herself and her family.[2] "It was the right thing for me to do at the time," she later said.[75] "If you want to tell stories as truthfully as possible, you have to have a normal, boring existence."[76] During this period, the actress turned down roles in The Devil Wears Prada, Casino Royale, Mission: Impossible III and Get Smart.[1] In February 2006, she made an once-off stage appearance in The Vagina Monologues at St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts, Toronto to raise funds for V-Day.[77] Also that year, McAdams received a Rising Star Award nomination from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts[78] and hosted the Academy Awards for Technical Achievement.[79]
McAdams returned to work in 2008, appearing in two limited release films. In the film noir Married Life, she played Kay, a young 1940s widow who wins the affections of two older men, played by Pierce Brosnan and Chris Cooper. In preparation for the role, McAdams studied old films, particularly those of Kim Novak.[80] She has said the film shoot reenergized and re-inspired her and made her eager to work more often.[75] Entertainment Weekly found McAdams "a particularly delightful vision after her two-year intermission".[81] Variety also bemoaned her break from the big screen but felt that, despite a performance of "tender feeling", "her natural vivaciousness and spontaneity are straightjacketed" by the film noir format.[82] The film was a box-office failure. It grossed just over $2 million worldwide, failing to recoup its production budget of $12 million.[83]
The Lucky Ones, a story about three Iraq War soldiers on a brief road trip back in the U.S., was McAdams's second film of 2008, and she co-starred alongside Tim Robbins and Michael Pena. She trained at a real boot camp, Fort Campbell in Kentucky, prior to filming.[84] McAdams, speaking in 2011, said that the character of Colee was "probably one of my favorite characters I've ever played."[85] The New York Times found her "luminous as always"[86] while Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times hailed the performance as "her coming of age as an actress".[87] "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 poignance of the scene when she meets her boyfriend's family."[87] Entertainment Weekly found her "feisty, gorgeous, and as mercurial as a mood ring".[88] The Lucky Ones is the least commercially successful film of McAdams's career as of 2012, having grossed just $266,967 worldwide.[89]
Return to prominence (2009–2011)[link]
McAdams starred in three films in 2009. State of Play, a political thriller based on a BBC television series, co-starred Russell Crowe, Helen Mirren and Ben Affleck. McAdams played Della, an online reporter who investigates a possible conspiracy with a veteran print journalist, played by Crowe.[90] As part of her research, McAdams visited The Washington Post's offices and met with politicians on Capitol Hill.[91] Entertainment Weekly felt she was "perfectly cast as an ambitious wonkette"[92] while 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."[93] The film grossed over $87 million worldwide.[94]
McAdams's second 2009 project was the science-fiction romance The Time Traveler's Wife, an adaptation of Audrey Niffenegger's bestselling novel.[95][96] McAdams fell "madly in love" with the book[97] but was initially slightly hesitant to accept the film role because Clare, the long-suffering wife, is a "character that people have already cast in their heads."[98] 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."[99] The Los Angeles Times found her "luminous [yet], sadly, her facility as an actress is mostly wasted."[100] 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.”[101] The film was a commercial success, earning over $101 million worldwide.[102]
Sherlock Holmes was McAdams's final movie of the year. She played Irene Adler, a love interest for Robert Downey, Jr.'s Sherlock, and welcomed the opportunity to play a character who is "her own boss and a real free spirit".[103] The elaborate corseted costumes helped her get into character.[91][103] 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".[104] 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."[105] The film was a major commercial success, earning over $524 million at the worldwide box office.[106]
2010's Morning Glory, a comedy in which McAdams played a television producer attempting to improve the poor ratings of a morning television program, was billed as a starring vehicle for the actress.[107] She initially felt she was unsuited to the role because "I'm not funny. So I said, 'if you need me to be funny, you might want to look somewhere else'".[108] Roger Michell, the film's director, had a number of dinners with McAdams and persuaded her to join the cast.[109][110] It was her second time to work with Diane Keaton, whom she has described as a mentor figure.[111] Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times said McAdams "gives the kind of performance we go to the movies for"[112] 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.[113] The New York Post was impressed by "her gift for physical comedy",[114] as was Variety.[115] While 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."[116] The film was a modest commercial success, grossing $58 million worldwide from a production budget of $40 million.[117] McAdams was disappointed that the film failed to find a larger audience, remarking that "I only hear these businesspeople: 'Well, no one was sure who it was for.'"[55]
McAdams' first film of 2011, Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris, opened the 2011 Cannes Film Festival and saw her reunite with Wedding Crashers's Owen Wilson.[118] Allen wrote the part of the shrewish Inez for McAdams, after hearing "glowing reports" from her former co-star Diane Keaton.[107] He has said that he is "crazy about Rachel"[119] and wanted to give her the opportunity to play something other than "beautiful girls".[120] The film was shot on location in Paris and McAdams has said that the experience "will always have a great place in my heart."[121] The Guardian bemoaned 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".[122] Richard Corliss of Time "felt sorry for McAdams, whose usually winning presence is ground into hostile cliché."[123] However, the Los Angeles Times felt she "deftly handles a part that is less amiable than usual for her"[124] and The New York Times found her "superbly speeded-up".[125] It has become Allen's highest grossing picture ever in North America[126] and was the most commercially successful independent film of 2011.[127] With a production budget of $17 million, the film has grossed over $148 million worldwide.[128] 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.[129] Allen won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and the film itself was nominated for three other Academy Awards, including Best Picture.[130]
McAdams's second screen appearance of 2011 was a cameo role in the action-adventure sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.[131] The lead female 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.[132] He found it "complicated" to persuade McAdams to return in a supporting role: "She loved being with us, but she hoped to have a bigger role."[132] 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".[133] 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."[134] The film has grossed over $534 million worldwide.[135]
[edit] The Vow and upcoming projects (2012)
In 2012, McAdams starred in the romantic drama The Vow.[136] McAdams and Channing Tatum played a newlywed couple who try to rebuild their relationship after a car crash leaves the wife with no recollections of their marriage. McAdams was drawn to the "roller coaster" faced by her character[137] and found it interesting that the story was told "through the guy's eyes".[138] 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".[139] Newsday felt that McAdams, "exuding her usual uncanny warmth on-screen", "is the real draw".[140] However, 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.[141] 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.[142] The film, financed for $30 million, was a major commercial success and became her biggest personal box-office hit - not including the Sherlock Holmes movies and the comedy Wedding Crashers.[143] It topped the US box office and has grossed over $186 million worldwide.[144][145]
In late 2010, McAdams worked on To the Wonder, a romantic drama written and directed by Terrence Malick.[146][147] Her character, believed to be based on Malick's current wife,[148] is a horse ranch worker in Oklahoma who has an affair with Ben Affleck's character.[149] McAdams and Affleck previously worked together in State of Play. McAdams 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.[55] She has described it as "a very satisfying, unique way of shooting".[55] The film is due to be released in 2012.[146][150]
In March 2012, McAdams filmed Brian De Palma's Passion, an erotic thriller about a power struggle between two business executives, on location in Berlin.[151] It is an English-language remake of 2010's Crime D'Amour.[152] The film will co-star Karoline Herfurth and Noomi Rapace. Both McAdams and Rapace appeared in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows but did not share scenes together.[151] There are tentative plans to premiere the completed film at the Berlinale in February 2013.[153]
McAdams will next star in About Time, a romantic comedy written and directed by Richard Curtis.[154] The story follows a young man, played by Domhnall Gleeson, who travels back in time and meets "the girl of his dreams", played by McAdams. Filming will take place in London, England from June to August 2012.[154] In September 2012, McAdams is tentatively scheduled to film an adaptation of John Le Carré's espionage thriller A Most Wanted Man, directed by Anton Corbijn and co-starring Philip Seymour Hoffman.[155][156]
Personal life[link]
McAdams lives in the Harbord Village neighborhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[157] She shares a house with her younger brother, although they have separate living quarters.[158] McAdams also holds a US green card[159] and has remarked, "I never thought I’d say this, but I actually miss L.A. when I’m not there."[160] She practices kundalini yoga daily.[161] She likes to garden and cook in her spare time and has said that she would open a restaurant if she were not an actress.[158][162]
McAdams had a two-year relationship with Canadian actor Ryan Gosling from mid-2005 to mid-2007.[163][164] They also briefly reunited in the summer of 2008.[165][166][167] Following their split, Gosling described her as "one of the great loves of my life".[168] She dated American actor Josh Lucas for a number of months in 2009.[169] McAdams is currently in a relationship with Welsh actor Michael Sheen, whom she met on the set of Midnight in Paris in July 2010.[170]
McAdams is an environmentalist. She ran an eco-friendly lifestyle website GreenIsSexy.org with two friends for five years, from 2007 to 2011.[171][172] Her house is powered by Bullfrog renewable energy.[173] She travels around Toronto by bicycle but drives when in Los Angeles because it is "a harder town to cycle in."[173] McAdams sat on a TreeHugger/Live Earth judging panel in 2007.[174] She was involved in Matter of Trust's 'hair boom' efforts following the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill.[175][176] In 2011, McAdams supported Foodstock, a protest against a proposed limestone mega quarry in Melancthon, Ontario.[177][178] She is also a supporter of the Blue Planet's clean drinking water initiative.[179]
McAdams is also involved with other charitable and social causes. She volunteered in Biloxi, Mississippi in 2005, as part of the clean-up effort following Hurricane Katrina.[180] In 2006, she took part in the "Day Without Immigrants" demonstration in Los Angeles, protesting against the federal government’s attempts to further criminalize undocumented aliens living in the United States.[181] She appealed for donations during the Canada for Haiti telethon in 2010.[182] In 2011, McAdams attended the Occupy Toronto demonstration.[177] She has worked with charities including the Sunshine Foundation of Canada,[183][184] the Alzheimer's Association,[185] the READ Campaign,[186] and United Way of Canada.[187]
