Personal lifeHer parents divorced when she was quite young and she and her younger brother were raised by her mother on a council estate in the town of Newton Mearns.

Other roles include a reporter in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and an actor playing Peter Pan in Finding Neverland. She also had a big role in Robert Altman's English period piece Gosford Park, where she played a maid. On television, her highest-profile roles have been in two BBC dramas, the Paul Abbott serial State of Play (2003) and the one-off Richard Curtis piece The Girl in the Café (2005). Both of these were directed by David Yates, and both also starred Bill Nighy. For her performance in The Girl in the Café, Macdonald was nominated for a Golden Globe in 2006, and won an Emmy.
