Abbie Cornish
Known for
Abbie Cornish is an Australian actress from rural New South Wales who announced herself with the raw addiction drama 'Candy' (2006), opposite Heath Ledger. Jane Campion's 'Bright Star' (2009) confirmed her as a serious dramatic talent, playing the poet Keats's beloved Fanny Brawne. Hollywood followed with Zack Snyder's 'Sucker Punch' (2011), the thriller 'Limitless' (2011) and the 'RoboCop' remake (2014), before a quietly effective supporting turn in 'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri' (2017). She also raps under the name MC Dusk. Her strength is luminous stillness — characters who feel more than they say.
