Since arriving in Hollywood from her native Australia 10 years ago, she has been in two dozen movies and is one of the best actresses in Hollywood today. She also founded her own production company and, in 2017, made Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world. So what is Robbie’s secret to success? Though her talent is a key factor, it’s her drive and her contributions to reshaping Hollywood for women that have made her stand out. As an actress, Robbie is extremely versatile. In her breakthrough role, she starred as the tough, Brooklyn-accented Naomi LaPaglia in The Wolf of Wall Street, clearly outshining her male costar, Leonardo DiCaprio. Robbie went on to play a wide range of other characters, including Jane Porter, Tarzan’s love interest in The Legend of Tarzan, and Harley Quinn, a crazy, roller-skating psychiatrist, in Suicide Squad. But it wasn’t until 2017, when Robbie played the real-life figure skater Tonya Harding in I, Tonya, that her acting won the hearts of everyone. The movie, which Robbie also produced, earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. 二十九歲的瑪格.羅比有許多值得欽佩之處。自從十年前從家鄉澳洲來到好萊塢後,她已經演出了二十多部電影,是當今好萊塢最優秀的女演員之一。她還創立了自己的製作公司,並在二○一七年成為《時代》雜誌全球百大最具影響力人物。所以羅比成功的祕訣是什麼?雖然她的才華是主要的因素,但讓她脫穎而出的正是她的衝勁以及重塑好萊塢女性形象的貢獻。 作為一名演員,羅比非常多才多藝。在她的突破性角色中,她在《華爾街之狼》裡飾演了粗暴、帶有布魯克林口音的娜歐蜜.拉帕格利亞,顯然比聯袂主演的男星李奧納多.狄卡皮歐還要出色。羅比繼續飾演其他各式各樣的角色,包括珍.波特(《泰山傳奇》中泰山的戀愛對象)以及《自殺突擊隊》裡的哈莉.奎茵(一名瘋狂、穿著溜冰鞋的精神科醫師)。 但直到二○一七年羅比在《老娘叫譚雅》中飾演真實生活中的花式溜冰選手譚雅.哈丁,她的演技才擄獲了大家的心。這部羅比也參與製作的電影為她贏得了奧斯卡最佳女主角的提名。 Growing up, Margot Robbie knew she had to fight her way to the top. She was born on a farm in Queensland, Australia, and her father abandoned the family when Robbie was little, leaving her mother to raise her and her three siblings. While studying drama in high school, Robbie held three jobs to help make ends meet. Later, she got a role in a popular Australian TV soap opera after calling the company multiple times and refusing to take no for an answer. Three years later, she left the show for Hollywood. Besides acting, Robbie has done notable work in film production. With I, Tonya under her belt, Robbie took on new projects such as Birds of Prey, featuring Harley Quinn, and Promising Young Woman, about a tragedy-stricken, vengeance-seeking young woman. It’s not surprising that female characters are the focus of these films. Speaking publicly, Robbie pointed out that many women in Hollywood have to “struggle for the right to earn a living, [and] the right to be heard.” Through acting and film production, Robbie gives women stronger representation in the movie business―and that’s certainly a welcome contribution. 在成長過程中,瑪格.羅比知道她得努力才能爬上顛峰。她出生在澳洲昆士蘭省的一個農場,父親在羅比還小的時候就拋下家庭,留下母親撫養她和三個兄弟姐妹。在中學唸戲劇時,羅比兼了三份差來維持收支平衡。後來,她在一部受歡迎的澳洲電視肥皂劇中獲得一角,是在她打了很多次電話給該公司且不接受拒絕作為回答後。三年後,她離開這個節目前往好萊塢。 除了演戲以外,羅比在電影製作方面也做得有聲有色。由於有《老娘叫譚雅》的經驗,羅比還接下新的電影企劃,像是以小丑女為主角的《猛禽小隊:小丑女大解放》,以及《有希望的年輕女人》,此片是關於一位遭遇不幸而尋求復仇的年輕女子。 這些電影聚焦在女性角色上並不意外。羅比曾公開指出,在好萊塢許多女性得要「為謀生和發表意見的權利奮鬥」。透過演出和電影製作,羅比賦予女性在電影業更深刻的描繪——那無疑是一項令人欣喜的貢獻。
