Margot Robbie

Margot Robbie is an Australian actress and producer known for moving between studio blockbusters, independent films, awards-driven drama, and producer-led projects. Born Margot Elise Robbie on July 2, 1990, in Queensland, Australia, she began acting professionally in Australian television before becoming an international film star. Public film databases list her birthplace as Dalby, Queensland, while other biographical accounts describe her upbringing more broadly in Queensland and on the Gold Coast.

Robbie first became widely known in Australia through the long-running soap opera Neighbours, where she played Donna Freedman from 2008 to 2011. After relocating to the United States, she appeared in the television drama Pan Am, then had her international breakthrough in Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street. Her performance opposite Leonardo DiCaprio introduced her to global audiences and quickly moved her into major film roles.

Her subsequent work showed a deliberate mix of commercial and prestige choices. Robbie played Jane Porter in The Legend of Tarzan and became a major comic-book-film figure as Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey, and The Suicide Squad. Her version of Harley Quinn combined manic comedy, physicality, vulnerability, and visual flair, turning a supporting franchise character into one of her signature roles.

Robbie's awards profile rose sharply with I, Tonya, in which she portrayed figure skater Tonya Harding and also served as a producer. The film earned Robbie an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress and helped establish LuckyChap Entertainment, the company she co-founded with Tom Ackerley and others, as a serious production banner. She later earned another Oscar nomination for Bombshell and received major attention for playing Sharon Tate in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Nellie LaRoy in Damien Chazelle's Babylon.
