Actor: Rachel McAdams
Rachel McAdams broke through in Mean Girls and The Notebook in the same year, which fixed her as either a comic villain or a romantic lead for several years.
She was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for Spotlight, in an ensemble where the achievement is that no performance stands out from the others.
Doctor Strange, Sherlock Holmes and Game Night show the commercial range, and Game Night in particular is a very good comic performance in an underrated film.
She is Canadian, works selectively, and took extended periods away from film that she has attributed to simply not wanting to work constantly.
