Ever since her debut as one of the stars in Danny Boyle’s “Trainspotting” (1996), actress Kelly Macdonald enjoyed a vibrant and award-worthy career. Though not necessarily a household name, Macdonald nonetheless delivered some finely-tuned performances in many noted films without any formal training – highly unusual from an actress from across the pond. After “Trainspotting,” she settled into a series of supporting roles in films like “Elizabeth” (1998) and “Gosford Park” (2001); the latter of which earned her considerable acclaim and recognition for being part of an excellent ensemble cast.
