Career: McCormack made her film debut in little-seen Australian movie Loaded in 1994, the same year she appeared on TV for the first time in Wycliffe. Her performance in Braveheart looked set to make her a star, but instead of heading for Hollywood, she preferred to stay in Europe to make Deacon Brodie, The Land Girls, Dancing at Lughnasa, This Year's Love, and Love in the 21st Century. She has also starred in Shadow of the Vampire, Born Romantic, The Tailor of Panama and Spy Game. In 2004 she returned to TV with Gunpowder, Treason and Plot and in 2007 she appeared in horror sequel 28 Days Later.

Career: Baxendale joined Glasgow's Citizens' Theatre and landed parts on TV in The Marshall, Casualty, and short film The Euphoric Scale. In 1994, she won the plum role of Claire Maitland in Cardiac Arrest which made her name.

She's also appeared in The Investigator, An Unsuitable Job for a Woman, Ordinary Decent Criminal, Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years, and played Ross's girlfriend in Friends.

Quote: 'People are really stupid. They think you're serious and intelligent if you're a brunette with a pale complexion and a bit of hooked nose. If you're blonde and pretty, they don't give you that sort of part. It's short-sighted and stupid, but that's how it goes.'

Trivia: She has a fear of flying.
