Kelly Macdonald made a huge impact when she took to the big screen for the first time in Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting, as Ewan McGregor’s teenaged school uniform-clad girlfriend. In the years that have followed she’s carved a varied career working with directors like Gregg Araki, Mike Figgis and Robert Altman.
At 95% on the Tomatometer, No Country for Old Men is currently setting critics alight and blazing a trail to awards glory, taking home Golden Globes and racking up nine BAFTA nominations.
