Notable Marys in the Movies: Mary Embrey ("Hancock," 2008)

Why is Mary Embrey of the 2008 film Hancock a notable Mary? She, um...gosh, how to describe her without giving out a lot of spoilers? Well, she's strong, she's not afraid to stand up to bullies and/or superheroes, and as her husband finds out she pretty much exemplifies the old saw "still waters run deep."

(Also, it was refreshing to see someone who obviously understood that just because you've got a "soul mate" or whatever you want to call it to whom you're drawn to live a tumultuous life with, you can choose instead to live a happy, loving, peaceful, fulfilled life with somebody else.)

Can't quite remember the movie? I've linked to IMDb above, or go to Sony Pictures' site to see clips.
