Rachel Marsden

Rachel Marsden was born in Vancouver, Canada. She graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Science from Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, and then earned a degree in Broadcast Journalism from the BC Institute of Technology. She is currently pursuing post-graduate studies in national security studies in the USA. After reporting and anchoring for a Vancouver cable news channel, Marsden left Vancouver in 2000 to take a position as production assistant on ABC's 20/20 (1978) news, where she was also assistant to anchor Connie Chung. Her career really took off when she began writing political columns for print and online publications. In January 2004, she was picked up by United Press International. Known for her straight-shooting, irreverent writing style, her columns landed her a fellowship with Stanton Evans' 'National Journalism Center' in Washington, DC (alumni include Ann Coulter, Debbie Schlussel and Terry Moran), and an assistant producer gig with nationally-syndicated talk show host, Blanquita Cullum, of the Radio America Network in Washington, DC. She went on to work as the Director of Development and Fundraising for a Republican think-tank on Capitol Hill. Marsden has worked as a political campaign manager, and is often refered to as the 'female Karl Rove' for her ability to plan and execute effective communications and messaging strategies. In 2004, Marsden started hosting "The Rachel Marsden Radio Show", a weekly political talk show. She has appeared on CNN's 'Crossfire' and on CNBC's 'Dennis Miller Show', and has recorded audio commentaries for the USA Radio Networks.

Rachel Anne McAdams was born on November 17, 1978 in London, Ontario, Canada, to Sandra Kay (Gale), a nurse, and Lance Frederick McAdams, a truck driver and furniture mover. She is of English, Welsh, Irish, and Scottish descent. Rachel became involved with acting as a teenager and by the age of 13 was performing in Shakespearean productions in summer theater camp; she went on to graduate with honors with a BFA degree in Theater from York University. After her debut in an episode of Disney's The Famous Jett Jackson (1998), she co-starred in the Canadian TV series Slings and Arrows (2003), a comedy-drama about the trials and travails of a Shakespearean theater group, and won a Gemini award for her performance in 2003. Her breakout role as Regina George in the hit comedy Mean Girls (2004) instantly catapulted her onto the short list of Hollywood's hottest young actresses. She followed that film with a star turn opposite Ryan Gosling in the adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks bestseller The Notebook (2004), which was a surprise box office success and became the predominant romantic drama for a new, young generation of moviegoers. After filming, McAdams and Gosling became romantically involved and dated through mid-2007. McAdams next showcased her versatility onscreen with the manic comedy Wedding Crashers (2005), the thriller Red Eye (2005), and the holiday drama The Family Stone (2005). McAdams then explored the independent film world with Married Life (2007), which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and also starred Pierce Brosnan, Chris Cooper and Patricia Clarkson. Starring roles in the military drama The Lucky Ones (2008), the newspaper thriller State of Play (2009), and the romance The Time Traveler's Wife (2009) followed before she starred opposite Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law in Guy Ritchie's international blockbuster Sherlock Holmes (2009). McAdams played the plucky producer of a failing morning TV show in Morning Glory (2010), the materialistic fiancée of Owen Wilson in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris (2011), and returned to romantic drama territory with the hit film The Vow (2012) opposite Channing Tatum. The actress also stars with Ben Affleck in Terrence Malick's To the Wonder (2012) and alongside Noomi Rapace in Brian De Palma's thriller Passion (2012). In 2005, McAdams received ShoWest's "Supporting Actress of the Year" Award as well as the "Breakthrough Actress of the Year" at the Hollywood Film Awards.
