First look at Aussie actress Abbie Cornish as Anna Nicole Smith in upcoming biopic
Australian actress Abbie Cornish has slipped into the very famous shoes of Anna Nicole Smith, playing the late Playboy Playmate in the upcoming feature film, Trust Me, I’m A Doctor. Cornish, who grew up in the Hunter Region of NSW, gave viewers a first look of her in character as she filmed in Toronto on May 2.
In the scene, the 41-year-old recreated Smith’s appearance at the 2005 Pride Parade in West Hollywood, California – complete with a silver cut-out dress and coloured beads.
“Playing Anna Nicole Smith is such a dream,” she said in a statement via Deadline this week, when the film was announced.

Abbie Cornish. Wasn't she the Aussie Gretchen Mol?

r1 I was just about to ask. I feel like they tried to make her happen with something in the past, but can't remember what.

They've been trying to make her happen for about eighteen years and it's never taken. Her first starring role was with Heath Ledger, that's how long she's been around.

Cornish was directed in "W.E." by another dumb blonde: Madonna.

Any Aussies remember Wildside in the 1990s? It was a local cop show which was famous for its “gritty” milieu and overlapping dialogue. She played the main character’s daughter.

She just doesn't have Anna Nicole Smith's eyes.
But, then, nowadays neither does Anna Nicole Smith.

Looking her up her boobs aren't even a third of the volume necessary to portray Anna

ANS was gorgeous especially in the Trimspa era (too bad it helped kill her). This Aussie is not.

I am weirdly offended by this.

ANS was nothing but tabloid fodder. Some *there* there would be nice. Pass.

It's hard to imagine how they'll get a movie out of this because Anna Nicole was so heavily medicated and/or stoned 99% of the time.
The film also features scary-looking former Obama aide Kal Penn and scary-looking Linda Hamilton.

I loved her in Bright Star but that was a period film and was released in 2009. It’s been a long time since I’ve even heard her mentioned in anything.

Facially, she's a bit of everything, isn't she? Florence Pugh, Katharine Heigl, Kim Cattrall...
As for her former fiancé, I think we covered his gay face extensively here on DL back in 2019. Obviously it didn't last because he loves COCK.

Abbie Cornish is gorgeous. Like ANS, she has a tendency to pack on pounds.

I was the obvious better choice but there is a conspiracy against me by the many Hollywood men who I've turned down after they harassed me for which I should sue.
What was the movie again?

Bright Star was another Jane Campion feminist stinker but Abbie Cornish was great in Somersault (2004).

She was luminously beautiful in Three Billboards to Ebbing, Missouri. Really gorgeous.

Luminous maybe, but her character's inexplicable Australian accent in Bumfuck Missouri took most people out of the movie. I recall there was so much complaining about it at the time.

Her accent was not apparent in Jack Ryan.
She reminds me physically of a plumper Charlize Theron with a bit of Katherine Heigl.

Cornish was the other woman in some tawdry Hollywood affair, yes?
She was also a mediocre Mistress Kat Ashley to Blanchett’s top-notch Elizabeth.

My bad: she was a mediocre Bess Throckmorton.

It's crazy how long she's been trying to crack Hollywood. Meanwhile, certain people decided Robbie should be the next movie star and made it happen basically with a single movie (I, Tonya). Not surprising then that Rebel would be so bitter about it all.

R28 Robbie shot to stardom in The Wolf Of Wallstreet. She was a bombshell who could act

And then she played Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, which gave her an even higher profile. I, Tonya just proved she had actual talent.
