A throwback to Kayleen & Rachel on-set of Married Life:

This is a great thread, Lindsey! Thank you so much. Brilliant idea for a thread, congrats

It's hard not to love the McAdams sisters I really admire them for getting along so well even though I'm sure they must have had some pretty serious fights while growing up Still, can't picture these two lovely sisters yelling at each other in a fight I think they are both very lucky to have each other as sisters and I'm sure they are aware of that So glad that Rachel got to share her amazing award season run with Kayleen at every stop along the way this year It sure wouldn't have been the same for us if it weren't for Kayleen's Instagram and Snapchat uploads

You're welcome And I agree, it's nice to see that Rachel seems super close with her sister and family in general. I love when she takes them to events and that she's able to work with Kayleen.

Throwback to TIFF in 2007:
