15 Rachel McAdams


Rachel McAdams is the goofy and sometimes not-so-nice girl next door that we have come to love from her work in The Hot Chick (2002), Mean Girls (2004) and the nauseatingly romantic film The Notebook (2004). But it was in 2005 that Rachel really hit the public eye thanks to three big hits -- the Wedding Crashers, Red Eye and The Family Stone -- all of which starred big-name talent and were helmed by notable directors. On the personal front, Rachel has been dating her Notebook costar Ryan Gosling for the past three years.


Rachel McAdams clearly has star appeal. After all, it was only her contractual obligations to work on The Marriage with Pierce Brosnan that kept her from roles as the new Bond Girl in Casino Royale and as the love interest of Zach Braff in The Last Kiss. FHM and Maxim listed Rachel in decent spots on their own lists of the hottest women of 2006 and she debuts at No. 15 on our 2007 edition of the Top 99 without having worked very much last year. Ultimately, this goes to show that she’s riding a wave of success, and that future endeavors are sure to come.


In 2007, Rachel McAdams will release The Marriage, a crime drama in which a husband puts a hit out on his wife in lieu of divorce proceedings. She is also in negotiations for the sci-fi film The Time Traveler’s Wife. Rumor has it that Rachel has been asked to play the romantic lead in the upcoming Ironman (though it seems that role may go to Gwyneth Paltrow), and she may also appear in a film Ryan Gosling is setting up for his directorial debut. For now, she resides in Toronto, Canada, which makes it easier to keep up with her boyfriend and fellow Canadian.
