Famous Birthday

Rachel McAdams, 32 - You may remember her from such films like Mean Girls, The Notebook, and Red Eye. She’s a popular Canadian actress who’s down to earth and completely loveable. The only time you hate her a little is in the movie Mean Girls in which she plays meanie queen-bee Regina George…but that’s just because she’s such a great actress.  I read somewhere once that she has a thing about crooked pictures that drives her crazy. And she’s also a bit of a neat-freak who likes things super organized. Well, there is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with that! It actually makes me like her more since she seems even more human. If you can relate to Rachel’s need for organization, then head over to Compact Appliance.
