Rachel McAdams: Her life in photos
Rachel McAdams made her screen debut on 2001’s coming-of-age seriesThe Famous Jett Jackson, but it didn’t take her long to become a major force onscreen.
By 2002, she starred opposite Rob Schneider inThe Hot Chick; in 2003, a role on the television seriesSlings and Arrows(pictured) would follow; and then, in 2004, she broke out with two modern-day classics.
That year found McAdams starring inMean GirlsandThe Notebook(the latter opposite her one-time boyfriend Ryan Gosling), and the rest as they say is so fetch.
