Down under girl ends on top

The Australian actress Margot Robbie is a blonde bombshell for the 21st century. But who is she? The easy answer to that question is: A 26-year-old Australian actress whose big break came three years ago as Leonardo DiCaprio's impossibly glamorous wife in The Wolf of Wall Street.In the DC Comics ensemble romp Suicide Squad , Robbie - who plays Harley Quinn, a criminal-psychologist-turned psychopathic Joker protégé - is unquestionably primus inter pares among her co-stars .In person she struck me as a pragmatist . She spoke about "getting her ducks lined up" , which meant acquiring a dialogue coach, a strong agent and publicists on either side of the Atlantic.On the film Robbie's trick is playing characters with a wink that allows us to enjoy their throwback glamour without trashing our moral credentials in the process. - ©The Daily Telegraph..
