This week we learned that Matthew McConaughey's Dazed and Confused audition video is almost better than the movie, and definitely better than sex. But in a treasure trove of before-they-were-stars Internet finds, pre-fame Rachel McAdams reading what would become an iconic scene from The Notebook remains the most epic. Revisit the gut-wrenching scene between Allie (McAdams) and Noah (Ryan Gosling, off-camera) and try not to tear up. (Even if you seen this before, it's worthy of repeat viewing.) And to think, the two beautiful leads couldn't stand each other!
