Mary McDonnell: Difference between revisions

{{workcreator}}

Red-headed goddess '''Mary McDonnell''' rose to fame with the role of Stands-With-A-Fist in the [[Kevin Costner]] film ''[[Dances Withwith Wolves]]''. She also became known for her turn in cult classic ''[[Donnie Darko]]''.

However, she became a household name as [[President Iron|President Laura Roslin]] in ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]''. Between her genuine and believable chemistry with Edward James Olmos (as Admiral Adama) and her talent for simultaneously portraying iron strength and heartbreaking vulnerability, McDonnell became one of the pillars of the new series and one of its best-loved characters.

Since ''Battlestar Galactica'' finished, her most notable role has been as the cool, collected Captain Sharon Raydor, head of the Force Investigation Division, on [[TNT]]'s crime drama ''[[The Closer]]'', where she came into conflict with [[Kyra Sedgwick]]'s Brenda Johnson and got her very own [[ItsIt's Personal]] episode in the Season 5 finale. She earned her [[Promotion to Opening Titles]] in season 7, and has been taking an increasingly prominent role in the storyline.

She started off in ''The Closer'' pretty much as a walk-on role in Season 5, and two years later, she's going to be the lead in a [[Spin -Off]] titled ''[[Major Crimes]].'' [[Pure Awesomeness|She's just that good.]]
