HOTLIGHT: Rose Byrne

Friday 27 March 2009

I wish that robe would fall to the floor, too. Best known as plucky attorney Ellen Parsons in FX's legal drama Damages (a role she won a Golden Globe for), Australian actress ROSE BYRNE also has a blossoming movie career. She was Natalie Portman's lookalike in Star Wars Episode II, then had a small role in Troy, before co-starring in Sunshine and 28 Weeks Later. Rose can currently be seen in the sci-fi thriller Knowing, alongside Nicolas Cage. Blessed with a delicate beauty, rose-bud lips and big oval eyes, all shot through with a quiet, pervasive intelligence, the only real worry is how painfully thin she can often look on-screen. You half expect a bulemia storyline to rear its head on Damages, were her character not too busy double-crossing and collaborating with Feds.

Date of Birth: 24 July 1979
Place of Birth: Sydney, Australia
