Mary McDonnell stars in "Scream 4" as Kate Roberts.
McDonnell is perhaps best known for her role as President Laura Roslin on Sci Fi Channel's wildly acclaimed "Battlestar Galactica." Thrust into the role of president after a deadly Cylon attack kills most of the civilian government, President Laura Roslin is dying of breast cancer. She secretly takes an ancient medication, whose hallucinogenic properties lead her to believe she is a tool of destiny.
Two-time Academy Award and Golden Globe-nominated
For television, McDonnell portrayed "Mrs. Harris" for HBO, opposite Annette Bening and Ben Kingsley. Prior to that, she appeared in "The Locket for Hallmark" with Vanessa Redgrave. McDonnell received a 2002 Emmy Nomination for her work as Eleanor Carter on "ER." Other television credits include "High Society" with Jean Smart, "Replacing Dad," "For All Time," "Behind the Mask"—all for CBS, Arthur Miller's "American Clock" for TNT and "O Pioneers!" for PBS with her husband, actor Randle Mell.
Most recently, McDonnell played the recurring role of Captain Sharon Raydor on "The Closer."
Equally at home in film, television, and theater, McDonnell starred on Broadway in the title role of Wendy Wasserstein's Pulitzer-Prize-winning play "The Heidi Chronicles," Tennessee Williams' "Summer and Smoke" (Miss Alma), and "Execution of Justice" (Maryanne White). off-Broadway, she performed in many New York and World premieres of some of the finest American Playwrights, among them, Sam Shepard's Pulitzer prize "Buried Child," and John Patrick Shanley's "Savage In Limbo." McDonnell received an Obie award for her performance in Emily Mann's "Still Life." Some of McDonnell's other credits both off Broadway and regionally are "Three Ways Home," "A Weekend Near Madison," "The Vagina Monologues," "Twelfth Night," "A Midsummer Nights Dream," "Three Sisters," and "A Doll's House."
McDonnell last appeared on the stage in Los Angeles as "Troy" in the play "James and The Handless Maiden," directed by Mell. She is also in the process of adapting the renowned Irish columnist and novelist Nuala O' Faolain's "Are You Somebody?" into a one-woman show.
