Early life

Mary Elizabeth Winstead was born on November 28, 1984, in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, to Betty Lou (née Knight) and James Ronald Winstead[1][2] and is the youngest of five children.[3] Her grandfather, Ambler William Winstead, was a cousin of actress Ava Gardner.[4] When she was five years old, her family moved to Sandy, Utah,[2][5] where she attended Peruvian Park Elementary and took advanced classes.[5] She studied dance in a Joffrey Ballet summer program in Chicago[5] and sang in the International Children's Choir.[6] During her youth, she hoped to pursue a career as a ballerina and appeared in local ballet productions.[5] As she entered her teens, she was forced to quit ballet due to her height. She later said, "I realized pretty early on that I was already too tall by the time I was 13... You know, your body has to stay that way for your entire life, and it's pretty hard on your muscles and your bones."[2] Realizing a dance career was unlikely, she turned to acting.[2] As she was still a teenager at the time, this required her to be homeschooled through most of high school.[7][8]

Career

Acting

1997–2004

Winstead appeared in a production of

made-for-television film Monster Island. She was offered a role in the film A Cinderella Story, but turned it down as she had just graduated from school and was going on a cruise with friends (where she met Riley Stearns, her future husband).[12]

2005–2011

Following a minor role in the indie comedy Checking Out (2005), she took on a larger role as a school senior turned the main antagonist in the Walt Disney Pictures film Sky High, about an airborne school for teenage superheroes. Winstead said of her role, "I bounced around. I was either the hero of the sidekicks or the sidekick to the heroes."[13] The film was released on July 29, 2005, receiving favorable reviews, and budgeted at US$35 million, it grossed US$63.9 million domestically.[14]

Winstead then began working with filmmakers

Scream Queen at the 2007 Scream Awards.[21] Winstead got a chance to lampoon horror scream queens when Tonight Show host Jay Leno
, unaware of who she was, knocked on her front door and included her in a comedy segment spoofing horror films.

She appeared in

In 2007, Winstead appeared in a pair of high-profile event films.

stunt man, played by Russell, stalking and murdering young women. It is the second film to feature Winstead with Russell (after Sky High), although she only filmed scenes with Dawson, Thoms, and Bell. The production under-performed commercially but attracted significant media buzz and critical acclaim,[27][28] Variety magazine noted that Death Proof "proves its worth as a stand-alone feature" and found Winstead's "emergence" to be "one agreeable plus [to the movie]".[29][30] Her next film appearance of the year was opposite Bruce Willis in Live Free or Die Hard,[3] portraying John McClane's estranged daughter, Lucy. The movie grossed US$383.5 million and was highly acclaimed.[31][32]

She starred in a lead role in

straight to DVD in the United States, and fared poorly in its UK release.[33][34] Nevertheless, it proved a delight for Winstead, who once dreamed of being a dancer.[citation needed] Critics agreed that she was the film's best asset. Reviewer Mike Martin wrote, "Winstead infuses every moment with an amazing amount of charm".[35] Matthew Turner of ViewLondon wrote, "[Winstead] compensates for the generally poor direction."[36]

Winstead co-starred opposite

Ramona Flowers, a mysterious delivery girl and Scott's love interest. Winstead went through fight training for two months and performed most of her own stunts.[38] Filming occurred from March[39] to August 2009,[40] and the film was released in late 2010, to critical acclaim but poor box office returns. Winstead's performance was well received generally, and earned her a Teen Choice Awards nomination for Choice Actress Action.[41]

Winstead was cast as the lead female in the 2011 prequel film to 1982's The Thing,[42][43] which followed a group of scientists who discover an alien buried deep in the ice of Antarctica, realizing too late that it is still alive. Winstead portrayed paleontologist Dr. Kate Lloyd, a character she based on her sister, a neurologist.[44][45] The production received a U.S. theatrical release on October 14, 2011, garnering a mixed critical reception and little commercial interest.[46][47] Critics singled out Winstead for praise in her performance,[48] with Las Vegas Weekly asserting that she "makes for an appealing protagonist, and Kate is portrayed as competent without being thrust into some unlikely action-hero role".[49]

2012–2014

Winstead appeared opposite Aaron Paul in Smashed, an independent drama directed by James Ponsoldt about a married alcoholic couple (Paul and Winstead) whose relationship is put to test when the wife decides to get sober.[50] She said that the film was shot in 19 days.[51] Screened during the 2012 Sundance Film Festival,[52] Winstead's performance earned her rave reviews,[53] with JoBlo.com calling it: "the type of performance that could be Award-worthy if given the right kind of build-up by whichever studio picks it up".[54] The film was released theatrically on October 12, 2012,[55][56] and saw Winstead snagging the Dallas International Film Festival Award for Best Actress. During a promotional interview for the movie with website Collider, she expressed pride in working on an independent project: "It's something I've been trying to do for years and years [...] It's almost like my first movie in a weird way, cause it's my first movie in this world, which is a world I've been trying to break into. [I've wanted] to be around filmmakers that are trying new things and not part of the system, so to speak, and they're doing things on their own terms."[57]

Winstead played the role of

San Jose Mercury News called Winstead "a standout",[61] and the Illinois Times film critic wrote, "Winstead humanizes Mary [Todd Lincoln] by giving her a fiery wit and sense of resolve in the face of considerable adversity".[62] Winstead was commended for scenes opposite Benjamin Walker, with Little White Lies writing that they shared: "a sweet chemistry that gives their handful of scenes an endearing warmth".[63]
In 2012, Winstead and
web series served as an advertising campaign for Intel and Toshiba; it ran from August 16 through September 20, 2012.[64][65]

Winstead at the Entertainment Weekly CapeTown Film Festival

Winstead was also cast in

Washington Post: "Winstead brings surprising depth to a small role, in which she has little to do except wait for her boyfriend to grow up, or to at least let go of his cynicism about love."[69] Screen Rant critic Ben Kendrick wrote: "[Winstead] and [Alba] also deliver in their contributions – though both of their characters are mainly designed to be mirrors for Carter to examine his own life and choices."[70] A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III and A.C.O.D. both received a limited theatrical run in North America.[71]

In 2014, Winstead was given the title role in

Twitch Film
wrote:

[Winstead] has matured from her early roles in horror films, to more impressive fare such as Smashed. She has grace, courage, knows how to move the audience and the camera loves her. While her resume up 'til now is a mix of blockbusters (Final Destination 3, Live Free or Die Hard) and indie favorites (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), this will change as she continues to grow into her profoundly blossoming career. This is an actress ready to do great things. As Alex, she always wears a look of determination, even when she's exhausted and losing the new battles thrown at her: learning how to be alone, taking care of her family and keeping the job she's worked her entire life for. Alex is a tender soul but does her damnedest to keep it together. It's an admirable trait not many can do, let alone be challenged with.[85]

In 2014, Winstead starred in Stearns' debut feature film

San Jose Mercury News.[88] It received a limited theatrical release on October 10, 2014, to favorable reviews but little commercial interest.[89][90]

2015–present

By January 2015, Winstead had been already cast as a series regular on

IFC's Comedy Bang! Bang! ("Mary Elizabeth Winstead Wears an A-Line Skirt and Pointy Black Boots").[94]

Mary Phinney in PBS' historical drama Mercy Street. The six-part series, about two volunteer nurses on opposing sides of the Civil War, premiered on-demand on January 14, 2016, and made its broadcast debut three days later, on January 17.[95] It rated favorably with reviewers,[96] who also showed praise of Winstead's performance; Variety magazine described her as the "smart, capable center around which Mercy Street pivots" and therefore noted that she was "so good that it's hard not to wish the show had pared down the sheer number of storylines it attempts to service in its six installments".[97] The show was renewed for a second season,[98] which premiered on January 22, 2017,[99]
and was cancelled after its finale aired.

Winstead headlined the psychological thriller 10 Cloverfield Lane,[100] appearing as Michelle, a woman held in a shelter with two men, who claim the outside world is affected by a widespread chemical attack. The film, directed by Dan Trachtenberg,[101] was released on March 11, 2016, to a widely positive reception from critics who, according to website Rotten Tomatoes, agreed that the movie "makes the most of its confined setting and outstanding cast".[102] Daily Express found Winstead "sympathetic" and remarked that she "creates a character who is smart and resourceful",[103] while writer James Berardinelli called her a "good choice" to play the heroine as she is "strong yet feminine".[104] 10 Cloverfield Lane had the highest debut at the box office for Winstead in a leading role, with over US$24 million grossed on its opening weekend;[105] it went on to gross US$72 million in North America and US$110.2 million worldwide.[106]

Winstead appeared in

Winstead in 2017

Winstead appeared in CBS'

New York Magazine calling Winstead's casting the "smartest decision the makers made",[115] and The A.V. Club said that she "makes an eminently watchable, formidable heroine".[116] Despite a largely positive critical response, the series debuted to lackluster ratings and after the airing of its 13-episode first season,[117][118] CBS announced its cancellation.[119]

Winstead starred opposite

third season of Fargo as Nikki Swango, "a crafty and alluring recent parolee with a passion for competitive bridge playing with a plan, focused on always being at least one move ahead of her opponents".[120][121][122] The season is set around December 2010 in Minnesota and follows the lives of McGregor and Winstead's criminal couple roles; it premiered on April 19, 2017,[123] to positive reviews.[124] In an interview with Variety, Winstead spoke of the character, "I'd never played a character like this. Once I was on set and doing it, it was so easy but it took all the elements coming together for me to feel confident and comfortable."[125]

In October 2017,

Tribeca Film Festival in April 2018 [127] and won Winstead rave reviews, with The Hollywood Reporter calling it "yet another impressive performance by Mary Elizabeth Winstead"[128] and earning her a nomination for Bravest Performance at the Alliance of Women Film Journalists.[129]

.

Got a Girl

In an interview with

Complex magazine for the June/July 2012 issue, Winstead revealed she was working with Dan the Automator and was indeed planning on releasing a music album. The duo formed the band Got a Girl the following year, and released their demo "You & Me" on May 21, 2013.[144] The album, titled I Love You but I Must Drive Off This Cliff Now, was released on July 22, 2014, via Bulk Recordings.[145] The first single, "Did We Live Too Fast" premiered on June 3,[146] and its music video, directed by Hope Larson, premiered online on June 16.[147] The album features heavy influences of French pop music, with Winstead detailing that the inspiration behind the project came from "French '60s pop—Jane Birkin, and stuff like that. It's kind of married with Dan's sensibility, which is his beats and a little bit of that low-key hip-hop vibe. So it makes for something that's very unique; it's very lounge-y and light. It's got a little bit of a French quality."[148]
All lyrics were written by Winstead while all music was composed by Dan the Automator.

Guest appearances

Winstead was also featured on the songs "The Agony" and "Look Across The Sky" on Deltron 3030's second studio album Event 2,[149] released on September 30, 2013.[150]
