Indie Princess: Maggie Gyllenhaal

Indie Princess is a new featurette we are going to do exposing our favorite indie leading ladies. Although some of them have aren’t strictly indie, they have done enough to fit into our category.

Our first in this feature is the wonderful Maggie Gyllenhaal. Even though she resembles her brother, you still cant get over how indie/geek sexy she is. Maggie has been stepping up in bigger roles lately, but has still been keeping up with her indie flicks. She starred alongside Will Ferrell in ‘Stranger than Ficition’, and recently played Rachel Dawes in ‘The Dark Knight’ and just before those she was in ‘SherryBaby’ ‘Happy Endings’ and ‘Trust the Man’.

The role that really captured me for her was ‘The Secretary’ where she played Lee Halloway, a girl in her 20’s who gets a job as a secretary at a law firm. She developed an obsessive crush on her boss played by James Spader. Here are some photos(after the jump) from ‘The Secretary’ and if you haven’t seen it, these should be enough to make you go out and buy it! Some of these may be NSFW, so tread lightly:

and here is a wallpaper that Lionsgate released for the movie:
