Before They Were Stars
The Sizzling Cast of Boardwalk Empire Before They Were Stars
Back for a fifth and final season, Boardwalk Empire promises more grisly murders, new unexpected villains, and some surprisingly sexy twists. Set during Prohibition, Boardwalk Empire is the riveting tale of a corrupt politician’s alcohol-soaked reign over Atlantic City—and all those who work with and against him. Everything about the show is amazing to look at: the sets, the costumes, and not least the faces of its stars. More Golden Globes are likely in Boardwalk Empire's future. We’ll drink to that.

Kelly Macdonald as Margaret Schroeder on Boardwalk Empire
Irish émigré Margaret Schroeder probably wins the prize for “most changed” on Boardwalk Empire: She started as a beaten wife and prohibitionist; became Nucky Thompson’s clever “kept woman”; and finally marries Nucky, sleeps with Owen, provides for her children—and follows her conscience. Unsurprisingly, her and Nucky’s marriage falls apart. MacDonald’s film debut was as Diane, the disaffected love interest to Ewan McGregor’s Renton in the disturbing Trainspotting. She’s also appeared in Finding Neverland, No Country for Old Men, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
