Danielle Macdonald

Danielle Macdonald is an actress whose self-made path I genuinely admire. Born in Sydney in 1991, she moved to America at eighteen and ground through small television roles before her breakthrough. Her fearless lead turn as an aspiring rapper in Patti Cake$ is what won me over, a performance with no vanity and a lot of guts, later backed up by her presence in Bird Box. She has the rare ability to disarm an audience with an unguarded warmth and a body that refuses to fit Hollywood's narrow template. She was not packaged into stardom, she muscled in on talent, and I think her best work is still ahead.
