Polley's acting career
Even if she were to never appear in another film, Polley's onscreen legacy would be solid. There aren't many actresses who can claim to have both worked with award-winning filmmakers from around the globe and starred in a box-office topping action flick about killer zombies (2004's Toronto-shot Dawn of the Dead.)
Her decision to do the latter had less to do with breaking through in Hollywood than blowing off some steam. "It just looked like a lot of fun," she says. "Acting for me has always involved a certain amount of pain and agony . . . those are always the kinds of films I've ended up in. So [for Dawn of the Dead] I loved the idea of running around and being a kid for the summer. I also got to see what it looks like when you descend into the belly of the beast. It was pretty f---ing interesting."
