Rachel McAdams initially worked for Canadian TV and film productions. She entered Hollywood in 2002 with the commercial release of the film, Hot Chick. A couple of years later, people started knowing her for her roles in films like Mean Girls and The Notebook. The psychological thriller Red Eye convinced people that her transition from TV to films was well worth it. She also received a BAFTA nomination for the Best Rising Star. However, she completely disappeared from the movie scene in 2006 & 2007. She turned down The Devil Wears Prada which surprised many. However, she came back with a bang in 2009 with another thriller, State of Play. She has three releases lined up for this year.Rachel McAdams has been steadily increasing on the popularity charts and critics now believe that she will, one day, become as big a star as Julia Roberts. All of her films have made on a fairly low budget but they grossed huge sums at the box office. People even dismissed Red Eye as a B-grade thriller but that film proved to be the sleeper hit of the year.
