Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Mary Elizabeth Winstead is an American actress, born in 1984, currently[when?] best known for being Ramona in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. She is rather a "scream queen", having been in Final Destination 3 and the remake of Black Christmas, as well as Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof. She got much more mainstream exposure playing Bruce Willis' daughter in Die Hard 4.0/Live Free or Die Hard, and playing a dancer in Make It Happen.
Now[when?] that Katie Holmes has disappeared to become Mrs. Tom Cruise, and Jennifer Connelly is getting on a bit, Winstead is probably the best hope for a movie star Girl Next Door type.

- Passions -- Jessica Bennet #1
- Sky High -- Gwen Grayson/Royal Pain
- Final Destination 3 -- Wendy Christensen

Mary Elizabeth Winstead provides examples of the following tropes:
- The Cast Showoff: Make it Happen is pretty much made to see how well Mary dances.

- Hey, It's That Girl!: Had a minor role in The Ring 2 as a younger Evelyn.
- Ms. Fanservice: Particularly in Make it Happen. She is also listed in the "Hottest Women" lists.

- Scream Discretion Shot: Goes with the territory of being known as a "Scream Queen". Until The Thing, anyways.
