| 13 | Mary Elizabeth Winstead (born November 28, 1984) is an American actress from Rocky Mount, North Carolina. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | She started off as a UsefulNotes/{{scream queen|s}}, having starred in ''Film/FinalDestination3'' and the remake of ''Film/BlackChristmas2006'', as well as Creator/QuentinTarantino's ''Film/DeathProof''. She also portrayed Ramona Flowers in ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld''. She got much more mainstream exposure playing Creator/BruceWillis' daughter in ''Film/LiveFreeOrDieHard'' and playing a dancer in ''Make It Happen''. She also tends to give a [[TookTheBadFilmSeriously most earnest performance even if she thought the movie she's in was not up to par]], and in turn somehow managing to give value towards an otherwise panned film. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | In 2022, she married Creator/EwanMcGregor. |

| 51 | !!Tropes associated with Mary Elizabeth Winstead's works: |
| 52 | %% |
| 53 | %% As with all Creator/ pages, trivia tropes about the creator specifically are to be posted here, |
| 54 | %% not a Trivia/ page, as they technically are InUniverse in the case of the person's career. |
| 55 | %% However: As with all Creator/ pages, items that could go on a specific work's trivia page go there, not here. |
| 56 | %% |
| 57 | * AloofDarkHairedGirl: Her characters tend to [[PlayingWithATrope play with this trope]] a lot, but it's usually downplayed or subverted. |
| 58 | * TheCastShowoff: [[invoked]] ''Make it Happen'' is pretty much made to see how well Winstead dances. Happens unintentionally in ''Death Proof'', where Tarantino wrote her character a scene where she's singing along with her [=MP3=] player, unaware that Winstead is also a pretty decent singer. |
| 59 | * DeadpanSnarker: Does this in a few roles, and does it really ''well''. |
| 60 | * MsFanservice: Particularly in ''Make it Happen''. She is also listed in the "Hottest Women" lists. |
| 61 | * ScreamDiscretionShot: Goes with the territory of being known as a "Scream Queen". [[SubvertedTrope Until]] ''Film/TheThing2011'', [[FinalGirl anyways.]] |
| 62 | * StatuesqueStunner: She's 5"8 and very attractive. |
| 63 | * {{Technopath}}: Her character in ''Film/SkyHigh2005'' is the {{Trope Namer|s}}. |
| 64 | * VocalDissonance: Her cute, doe-eyed appearance is contrasted with her deep, husky voice. |
