This is my third post to feature Margot Robbie, and, like with my previous post of Lupita Nyong'o, it's my first post of Ms. Robbie since April 2014. And she's been really active since.
She did no fewer than four movies in 2015, playing a nuclear holocaust survivor in that year's Z Is for Zachariah, playing a grifter in the Will Smith movie Focus, and appearing in the World War II drama Suite Française - and she found the time to appear in a cameo role as herself in The Big Short.
In 2017 Ms. Robbie played two famous people - the wife of Winnie-the-Pooh creator A.A. Milne in Goodbye Christopher Robin and bad-girl figure skater Tonya Harding in I, Tonya. That latter role must have been a tough one - the real-life figure-skating drama at the 1994 Winter Olympics wasn't that long ago, and how could any movie on the subject compare to real-life cable-news coverage of it?
Margot Robbie is taking on the role of a long-dead historical figure, England's Queen Elizabeth I, in Mary Queen of Scots, now as of this writing in post-production. As the role of Elizabeth has been played by Bette Davis and Judi Dench (and Ms. Robbie's fellow Australian Cate Blanchett, an earlier honoree on this blog), she has some big shoes to fill.
