Book Kelly Macdonald
Kelly Macdonald is a Scottish actress with a rare range across art-house film, Hollywood features and prestige television. Her honors include a BAFTA Award, a Primetime Emmy Award and four Screen Actors Guild Awards. She was famously working behind a bar in Glasgow when she answered an open casting call and won the role of Diane in Danny Boyle's Trainspotting (1996), a debut that launched her career. She went on to Elizabeth (1998), Robert Altman's Gosford Park (2001), and the Coen brothers' No Country for Old Men (2007), which brought a BAFTA nomination for supporting actress. Family audiences know her voice as Princess Merida in Pixar's Brave (2012), and she appeared in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (2011), Goodbye Christopher Robin (2017) and Operation Mincemeat (2021). Her Emmy came for the BBC One film The Girl in the Cafe (2005), and she earned another nomination playing Margaret Thompson on HBO's Boardwalk Empire. Later television work includes Line of Duty and HBO's Lanterns (2026). Macdonald brings warmth, wit and a grounded, down-to-earth charm.
