She received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2026.
She made her Hollywood debut in The Hot Chick and rose to fame in 2004 as Regina George in Mean Girls and Allie Hamilton in The Notebook.

How Rachel McAdams makes her money
Film acting is the source of most of McAdams's income. Her breakout year made her one of the most in-demand young actresses in Hollywood, and hits such as Wedding Crashers and The Notebook led to years of leading roles. Big studio films like the Sherlock Holmes series and Doctor Strange paid strong fees.
She has balanced those with serious films. Spotlight won Best Picture and earned her an Oscar nomination, which raises an actor's standing and future pay.
Television and stage add more. She starred in True Detective and made her Broadway debut in Mary Jane, which earned her a Tony nomination. She has been known to step away from Hollywood for stretches, which may help explain why her figure is lower than her fame.
She is also known for choosing projects carefully and working with strong directors, which keeps her name attached to quality films and raises her value when she does sign on to bigger studio work.
