Mary McDonnell's career took off in the 90s when she starred in the beloved film Dances With Wolves. Despite the passing years, the 72-year-old actress still looks just as stunning as she did back then, as seen in recent red carpet photos. Mary's journey to stardom began on stage in the 70s and 80s before she made a name for herself on the big screen as Stands With a Fist in the epic Western. The film not only earned her first Oscar nomination, but also won the prestigious Best Picture award. She then received her second Academy Award nomination for her lead role in the 1993 movie, Passion Fish. Other notable performances include her roles as Rose in Donnie Darko, Marilyn Whitmore in Independence Day, and Sharon Raydor in The Closer.
In the 2000s, Mary gained a huge following for her portrayal of President Laura Roslin in the hit sci-fi series Battlestar Galactica. Last year, she earned a Critics Choice award nomination for her role as the ambitious Madeline Usher in Netflix's horror adaptation, The Fall of the House of Usher. And in May, she was honored at the Gracie Awards for her outstanding work in media. She looked stunning at the event in her one-shoulder red ballgown, black gloves, and chunky gold earrings, all perfectly complementing her natural grey hair. Fans couldn't stop praising her appearance, with many commenting on her timeless beauty.
Mary has had a successful career with numerous award nominations and wins, and at 72 years old, she shows no signs of slowing down. She remains active on social media, using her platform to support causes she believes in, such as Kamala Harris and Tim Walz's bid for the US presidential office. Despite her success, Mary remains humble and grateful for the opportunity to play complex and nuanced characters on screen, like her role as Madeline Usher in The Fall of the House of Usher.
In an interview with Awards Radar, Mary expressed her admiration for her character in the Netflix series, created by Mike Flannigan. She described Madeline as a powerful and ruthless woman, driven by her past trauma. She also shared that she had never encountered a character like Madeline before, making her eager to take on the role.
