What The Final Girl From The Descent Looks Like Today

Shauna Macdonald broke out into the mainstream thanks to the widespread critical success of "The Descent." She put her newfound fame to good use, going on to star in numerous other films and TV projects, including a follow-up to her big hit — "The Descent: Part 2." Outside of that franchise, her other credits consist of "Made in Belfast," "Filth," and "The Five." She also had a small role in "Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi" as a resistance pilot during the Battle of Crait.

She's married to fellow actor Cal MacAninch, and the couple has three children together. She's also the co-artistic director of the Edinburgh Youth Theatre, located in Bellfield, where young actors learn about various works of art, both classical and contemporary. 

That's not the only way she's giving back to the community. She also teaches public speaking classes to help people overcome their fears of getting up in front of others (via The Sunday Post). Macdonald admits she had a similar problem as a young girl until she started doing theater, which gave her the confidence to perform as a career. She's been awfully busy since her days with blood makeup smeared across her face, but it's good to see an actor help others work toward the same profession.
