Fans were in awe when they saw a recent selfie of Hollywood star Mary McDonnell. Despite being 72 years old, it seemed like she hadn't aged a day since her rise to fame in the 1990 film Dances With Wolves. Many fans were amazed at how youthful and radiant she looked in the photo.
Mary has had a long and successful career in both stage and screen. She started in the 70s and 80s, but it was her performance as Stands With a Fist in Dances With Wolves that really put her on the map. This role earned her an Oscar nomination and helped the film win Best Picture. She later received another Oscar nomination for her lead role in Passion Fish. Mary has also appeared in other notable films such as Donnie Darko, Independence Day, and The Closer.
However, it was her role as President Laura Roslin in the hit sci-fi series Battlestar Galactica that gained her a huge fanbase in the 2000s. Just recently, she reunited with her co-stars to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the show. In a selfie she posted during her plane ride to the event, fans couldn't help but notice how she still looked just as stunning as she did two decades ago.
Her hair, which was long, curly, and now grey, also caught the attention of many fans. They complimented her in the comments, with one fan saying, "Gah, your hair never looks bad." Another added, "You look effortlessly beautiful as always."
Last year, Mary received a Critics Choice award nomination for her role in the Netflix horror adaptation, The Fall of the House of Usher. She was also honored at the Gracie Awards for her outstanding achievements in media created by, for, or about women. She stunned in a one-shoulder red ballgown paired with black gloves, gold earrings, and black-rimmed glasses that perfectly complemented her naturally greying hair.
Despite her age, Mary shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, she continues to impress fans with her talent and beauty. She has been nominated for and won countless awards throughout her career. And at the Gracie Awards, fans couldn't help but praise her looks, with one saying, "She definitely ages beautifully and just owns it."
Mary is also very active on social media and has been a vocal supporter of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz's bid for the US presidential office. She remains grateful for the opportunity to play nuanced characters on screen, like matriarch Madeline in The Fall of the House of Usher. In an interview, she shared, "When I met this character, I’ve never met a woman like her. I’ve never seen a woman so unabashedly and ruthlessly wield power and I’ve never seen that combined with a clear explanation of the trauma at the core of her being."
Mary also played one of her most memorable roles as President Laura Roslin in Battlestar Galactica. She has nothing but praise for the character and the impact it had on her career. "There has never been a character like Madeline Usher, so clearly I had to play her," she said.
When asked about her message to young women starting their careers, she emphasized the importance of understanding the purpose of their careers. "What's the purpose?" she asked. Mary's career serves as an inspiration to many, and she continues to shine in everything she does.
