From the countryside to TV, from TV to cinema, from Australia to Hollywood. Abbie Cornish has stood out as an actress in her country, and although she was from it, she has not yet had roles to match her, the girl undoubtedly promises.

 

Australian Abbie Cornish was born in Lochinvar, New South Wales, on August 7, 1982. Her parents owned a 150-acre farm, and she and her four siblings grew up there, Abbie was second in line. Being in the middle of the field allows many things, such as learning to drive, a skill that Abbie acquired when she was only twelve years old. But living far from the mundane urban noise did not prevent her from being attracted to things like being a model, a job that she began to dedicate herself to when she was thirteen springs, and that is that this blonde with light brown eyes was pretty since she was little. The chronicles say that at that age she decided to be a vegetarian, which seems to be symptomatic of someone with determined ideas and a strong will. The funny thing is that at the same time she thought about studying to be a veterinarian.

Photogenic brought her closer to television, since at the age of fifteen she made her debut in the medical series Children’s Hospital , where she gave life to a quadriplegic. She then starred in the crime series Wildsire (1997-1999), where her role as Simone Summers earned her an Australian Film Institute (AFI) Award for Best Youth Performance. Everything looked good in Abbie’s life, but at sixteen came the bad news of the separation of her parents. The event had to mark him, because years later she made this curious consideration: “I think that as a child you know when it’s time for your parents to separate. You realize that they love each other, but that they are no longer in love. And I think that for a child it is much better for your parents to separate than for them to stay together and create dysfunction within the family.

The inner circle (2000) marked his film debut. She made an interesting short with Hugo Weaving , Everything Goes (2004), which stylishly adapts a Raymond Carver short story. But that year she stood out mainly thanks to Sommersault , which earned her a best actress award from the AFI; There she met another actor who would go to Hollywood: Sam Worthington .

2006 was a good year, and not just because Ridley Scott directed him in a romantic wine movie with that title. He starred alongside the ill-fated Heath Ledger inCandy a hard and realistic look at the world of drug addiction. she was in the realElizabeth: The Golden Age (2007), and it seems that this is the reason why she lost the opportunity to play Briony inAtonement , a role that Saoirse Ronan would embroider . The following year she appeared in a film about the Iraq war and the trauma of soldiers,absent ; there she met Ryan Phillippe , who was her boyfriend for a while.

After being directed by her compatriot Jane Campion in Bright Star (2009), which narrates the love affairs of Fanny Brawne, her character, with the English poet John Keats, tried voicing more or less digitally manipulated animals in Ga’Hoole: The Legend of the guardians (2010). She entered fully into the fast-paced Hollywood movies, which she has tried, repeating with Zach Snyder,Sucker Punch (2011), and the pill thriller that unites him with Bradley Cooper Limitless (2011).

There will soon be an opportunity to see her under the orders of Madonna, who is making her debut as a director withWE , description of the commoner love affairs of King Edward VIII of England with the divorced American Wally Simpson, just the role of Abbie.
