With her Aussie humour, Adelaide Kane is one of the most renowned Australian actresses. Gaining a leading role in Grey’s Anatomy, let’s look back at some of her most iconic roles.
Teen Wolf (2013)
Teen Wolf is a show known to many teenagers, and it’s where I first saw Kane’s acting skills. She played Cora Hale, sister of Derek Hale, who ran away when she was only 11, thinking that she was an orphan when, in reality, she was lied to. The rage and power she transmitted playing this character drew me to watch more of her shows. Even though she was a recurring character, she was one of the best characters ever to step foot in Beacon Hills.
Reign (2013-2017)
In my personal favourite role, she played the iconic Mary, Queen of Scots. Even though this show has received lots of critiques because its storyline is not really accurate, it has slowly crawled up the rankings of one of my favourite shows of all time. Ever since the start of the show, she has won everyone’s hearts as she portrays Mary’s emotions to perfection.
My favourite part of the show is definitely seeing how Adelaide’s character develops through the season. At the start, she has childish behaviour that builds up until the last season, when you see a mature Mary who doesn’t care about what others think about her.
Honestly, I could probably write an entire essay on why this is her best show.
Grey’s Anatomy (2022-Onwards)
Ever since the writers decided to unalive some of the show's best characters, Grey’s Anatomy has not been the same. In fairness, I stopped watching after season 15. But when I saw that Adelaide was one of the main characters for the newest season, I decided to pick it up again. She plays a surgical intern at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. Even though it’s not a huge role, she always stands out in the scenes she’s in. If it wasn’t for her, there was no way I would have started to watch Grey’s Anatomy again. But as an OG fan of the series, I’m happy she’s getting the recognition she deserves.
