Born to a film director father and an Oscar-winning screenwriter mother, an acting career seemed inevitable for Maggie Ruth Gyllenhaal. At 15 she gave her debut performance in her father's film, Waterland which set the ball rolling for her future career.
Her breakthrough came in 2001 playing the sister of her real-life brother, Jake Gyllenhaal in cult movie Donnie Darko.
A year later Maggie impressed critics in Secretary - for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe award.
Soon after she met actor Peter Sarsgaard, with whom she had her daughter, Ramona, in 2006. The pair were married in May 2009.
Known for her quirky fashion, Maggie has modelled in ad campaigns for Miu Miu and Agent Provocateur. The summer of 2008 saw her biggest commercial role to date hit screens, as she played Batman's love interest in The Dark Knight.
