Margot Robbie she is the diva of the moment. In fact, how the iconic blonde doll drives audiences crazy in Barbie. But few people probably know that the thirty-three-year-old actress is also the producer of the film and many other successful films in recent years.
This twin soul of a talented actress and an attentive and enterprising producer perfectly sums up Robbie’s artistic career. In ten years, she has gone from a little-known Australian actress to one of the most influential stars in Hollywood.
Let’s get to know her better.
START
Born in 1990, Margot Robbie began acting in Australian independent films as a teenager. The first small success (but an important step) comes when he is cast in a soap opera. Neighbours in 2008. Two years later, in 2010, he gave up soap, deciding to move to Los Angeles.
In Hollywood, she was initially cast in a small role in It’s a question of time with Rachel McAdams and Domhnall Gleason, but it was in 2013 that his career exploded. Martin Scorsese in fact, he casts her as Jordan Belfort’s second wife in The Wolf of Wall Street alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. In 2015, she co-starred with Will Smith in Spotlight – It’s Not What It Seems, and she has a small cameo in Adam McKay’s The Big Short where she tries to explain to the public what the stock market is.
Margot Robbie becomes in every sense one of the most interesting promises among young actors.
MARGO ROBBIE – HARLEY QUINN AND TONYA
Robbie’s real breakthrough in Hollywood is associated, in particular, with two roles. The first makes him known to the general public, the second introduces the big US prizes.
In 2016 she was chosen as a translator harley quinn, the insane girlfriend of the Joker, in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad. A role that will recur in both Birds of Prey and the phantasmagoric rebirth of Harley Quinn (also her producer) and in James Gunn’s 2021 reboot of Suicide Squad. As a clown as a crazy nurse, Robbie captivates audiences and critics alike.
In 2018 he is starring (and producing) Tonya, based on the life of figure skater Tonya Harding. This role earned her her first Oscar nomination. The second nomination comes with Bombshell – the voice of scandal in 2019 based on a real sex scandal inside Fox. On his side are star stars like Charlize Theron AND Nicole Kidman.
We finally find her in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) by the author Quentin Tarantino like Sharon Tate and recently in Babylon Damien Chazelle (2022): A possible Oscar nomination was conceived for the latter, which disappeared after the film’s heavy failure.

MARGO ROBBY PRODUCER
In 2014, Robbie and her husband founded their own production company, LuckyChap Entertainment. In less than a decade since its inception, LuckyChap has established itself as one of the most exciting production companies in the new Hollywood scene. The actress and producer seem especially interested in telling stories with female leads who talk about emancipation even in an unconventional way. Unusual, courageous, in some places cruel or … plastic women.
Robbie’s first film is his own. Tonyaabout the stubborn and wrong skater who earned her an Oscar nomination and rewarded her co-star with a statuette Allison Janney.
Continuing to talk about unconventional women, she then returns as Harley Quinn in “Birds of Prey” and the phantasmagoric rebirth of Harley Quinn.

However, LuckyChap is not limited to cinema. In fact, for many years he produced the series doll face and mini-series maid (2021).
Finally we come to the real and beloved Barbie in the latest and highly anticipated film Greta Gerwig which will further consecrate the career of Margot Robbie both as an actress and as a successful producer.
