Scottish parents gave birth to Margot Elise Robbie on July 2, 1990, in Dalby, Queensland, Australia. Her father is Doug Robbie, and her mother Sarie Kessler is a physiotherapist. She is one of four children in her family, which also includes two brothers and a sister. In Mudgeeraba, Queensland, Australia, a town in the hinterland of the Gold Coast in South East Queensland, where she lived with her mother, she raised her and her siblings. She spent a lot of her time at the farm owned by her grandparents, where she later earned her degree from Somerset College. She came to Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, in her late teens to seek a career as an actress.
Robbie was nominated for two Logie Awards for her work as Donna Freedman in the enduring Australian soap series Neighbours (1985), which she played from 2008 to 2010. She left to pursue prospects in Hollywood, immediately securing the role of Laura Cameron on the short-lived ABC series Pan Am (2011). She made her big-screen debut in the movie About Time (2013).
In Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-nominated movie The Wolf of Wall Street, Robbie gained notoriety co-starring with Leonardo DiCaprio in the character of Naomi Lapaglia (2013). Along with countless other prizes, she was nominated for an MTV Movie Award for Breakthrough Performance.
Margot Robbie might be living the Hollywood dream in Los Angeles, but the Australian beauty is still very much in line with our “less-is-more” philosophy. She started her acting career there, along with many other Australian expats when platinum blonde highlights and two (or more) coats of Le-Tan Extra Dark were the norm. But now that she has a number of successful movies to her name (Bombshell, I, Tonya, Mary Queen of Scotts, Suicide Squad, The Wolf of Wall Street, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, to name just a few), she embodies a more subdued version of the radiant blonde, though the carefree attitude toward all things attractive is unmistakably still present. Robbie turns 30 today, and it’s looking like the next ten years might be her greatest ones yet. She effectively leads Lucky Chap Productions, a company that aims to highlight female-centric film projects. Additionally, a first-ever female-led Pirates of the Caribbean film will include her as the star. We are all simply residing in Margot’s universe. That much is true.
