WSJ: Open The Borders 'Round McAdams?
I like the sable-made hair. Actually it is not the Wall Street Journal calling for McAdams to open up her career, it is Hollywood. I have doubts that McAdams' next film where she plays the "other woman" will be as restrained and beautiful as David Lean's minor 1945 masterpiece Brief Encounter.(One of the most frustrating things is that I cannot find my Criterion Collection edition of this film anywhere.) And in fact, perhaps I'll be happy that it is not. Oh right, I promised the WSJ article:
Minutes after auditioning Rachel McAdams for "Wedding Crashers," director David Dobkin told the studio executive who had recommended her that she had to be hired. "She plays like a Stradivarius, man," said Mr. Dobkin, who cast her in the 2005 comedy as the young socialite who sets a toxic bachelor straight.
These days, the director might have trouble getting Ms. McAdams to even consider showing up for an audition. Though she has only six major studio films under her belt, the 29-year-old Canadian actress has become a red-hot property. But she is also baffling some in ego-driven Hollywood for rejecting many of the high-profile, well-paying parts that young actresses are expected to jump at. - Kate Kelly
But can we talk about how amazing her sable-made hair in the above photo? I prefer this darker look to the one chosen for her next film.

Hollywood has generated a bumper crop of promising new film talent in recent years only to see insiders write them off after they appear in movies considered either too commercial or crass -- with the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Affleck losing some cachet through overexposure
