Actor Born: February 23, 1976 in Glasgow, Scotland Biography:Scottish actress "Kelly Macdonald" was planning to go to drama school when director "Danny Boyle" cast her in "Trainspotting" (1996). A surprise international hit, it featured Macdonald, a native of Glasgow, as the acid-tongued schoolgirl who gives heroin junkie "Ewan McGregor" one of the more memorable nights -- and surprises -- of his young life.
Following the film's great success, Macdonald began finding steady work in a number of films as both a lead and supporting player. In the immediate wake of "Trainspotting", she could be seen playing the title character, a teenage prostitute, in "Stella Does Tricks". Subsequently, she nabbed a lead role in the period drama "Cousin Bette" (1997) and a small but memorable part in the lavish historical epic "Elizabeth" (1998). In 1999, Macdonald was featured in four very diverse films: the first, "My Life So Far", cast her as a young girl growing up in 1920s... Full Biography
