Margot Robbie is an Australian actress and film producer famous for her stunning appearance and successful acting career. In just ten years, the twenty-nine-year-old has received numerous awards and nominations, but she is perhaps best known for her roles in The Wolf of Wall Street, Suicide Squad, and I, Tonya.

Born in Dalby, Queensland, Australia, Robbie spent her childhood in Gold Coast, a city 800 kilometers north of Sydney. As a child, she thought a career as a magician would be her calling, but her interest turned to drama in high school.

Robbie’s first professional role was as Juliet, a teenage temptress in the family-friendly Australian romance series, The Elephant Princess, co-starring the aspiring Liam Hemsworth. However, audiences came to know her best from the TV soap opera Neighbours.

Following in the footsteps of other Australian female actors Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett, Robbie departed for Tinseltown and took the film world by storm. In 2019 she became one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actresses with an income just over $23 million.

Here are twenty of Margot Robbie's most attractive roles.

8 Jane Porter in David Yates's The Legend of Tarzan

Margot Robbie plays the assertive Jane Porter alongside Tarzan (Alexander Skarsgård) in the film, The Legend of Tarzan, which is based on a true story.

Although respected film critic, Leonard Maltin, praised her performance, he was disappointed in her attire.

6 Margot Robbie as Daphne de Sélincourt in Goodbye Christopher Robin

Robbie portrays a mother who puts herself first in Goodbye Christopher Robin, the real-life story behind Winnie the Pooh.

She explained to Glamour, “To modern eyes, neglecting parental duties to party and socialize are far from ‘Mother of the Year’ attributes, but part of what makes Daphne—and the film—so fascinating is…that [the writer] didn't see her as the bad guy, nor did he make her into this perfect, demure lady…she was complicated and had a strong point of view.”

5 American figure skater Tonya Harding in I, Tonya

Perhaps the biggest challenge for Margot Robbie playing Tonya Harding in the film, I, Tonya, was the skating.

Three months before filming began, she worked with skating choreographer Sarah Kawahara, practicing four times a week. Kawahara complimented Robbie saying she was "a natural" on the ice. The actress learned enough to execute much of the skating in the film herself. Of course, the spins and big jumps were performed by skilled doubles.

4 Annie in Vaughn Stein's thriller film Terminal

Although the critics disliked Terminal, the Vaughn Stein tale of femmes fatales, hitmen and suicide cases, they loved Margot Robbie’s performance. Robbie plays a stripper/assassin in this wicked story of bloody revenge set in a fantasy land of diners, seedy hotels, strip bars, and deserted train stations.

Repeating the minx-like character she used in Suicide Squad, it’s obvious Robbie has a ball.

3 Portrayed Queen Elizabeth I in Mary Queen of Scots in 2018

Mary Queen of Scots received mixed reviews; criticized for the screenplay which included several historical discrepancies. However, the costumes were spectacular, and performances by Saoirse Ronan as Mary, Queen of Scots and Margot Robbie as her cousin Queen Elizabeth I were exceptional.

Robbie admitted she had to be convinced to play Elizabeth I. She was "terrified" of following Cate Blanchett's performance that brought her international recognition in Elizabeth, including a Golden Globe and a BAFTA.

2 Margot Robbie as a Femme Fatale in Dreamland

Margot Robbie demonstrated her versatility starring as Allison, a mysterious and thrill-seeking bounty hunter who is surprisingly stylish in the film Dreamland. But she also produced the bank robbery caper, set in the 1930s Dust Bowl era.

"That is the wonderful thing about producing," Robbie says. "It's getting to build the projects and not waiting for them to come along.”

1 Robbie plays Sharon Tate in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Most people remember the popular young actress Sharon Tate from the 1960s not for her films but for the horrific way she met her demise at the hands of the Manson Family.

Appearing in Quentin Tarantino's ninth feature film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Margot Robbie had mixed feelings about the role. However, according to Robbie, playing Tate was a "chance for people to really appreciate the life she lived as opposed to remembering her for her death".
