On 26 April 1973, McDermott was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States, North America. While in grade school, she acted in school plays. Having trained as a registered nurse, however, she initially focused on her career in the medical profession and raising her family.[1]
In 2008, McDermott decided to launch her acting career, starting with an appearance in The MOMologues for a school fundraiser. She continued to develop her skills by taking acting classes at the Rock Educational Cooperative and Plymouth Rock Studios, as well as appearing in various Boston stage productions.[1]
In 2009, McDermott began her film career with a supporting role in the film short Mama Raised a Hellraiser (2010). She was soon cast, at the age of 36, as Mark Wahlberg's character's sister in the David O. Russell film The Fighter (2010).[1]
McDermott later appeared in two more Russell films, American Hustle (2013) and Joy (2015).[3]
