Elizabeth Debicki

Elizabeth Debicki, born on August 24, 1990, is an acclaimed Australian actress who first made a splash in the film industry with her debut in the comedy A Few Best Men (2011). Raised in Melbourne and born in Paris, Debicki explored her passion for acting at the University of Melbourne. Garnering wide recognition with her performances in films like The Great Gatsby (2013)—for which she won the AACTA Award for Best Supporting Actress—and the Marvel films Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) and Vol. 3 (2023), she quickly established herself as a talent to watch. Her other recognitions include the Cannes Trophée Chopard in 2019.

In recent years, she has received increased international renown and accolades, including a Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal of Diana, Princess of Wales in Netflix's The Crown (2022–2023). She has also played notable roles in Christopher Nolan's Tenet (2020) and Ti West's MaXXXine (2024), among several others. Infused with a strong dance background thanks to her ballet-dancer parents, Debicki was born to a Polish father and an Australian mother of Irish descent in Paris, before the family moved to Melbourne, Australia when she was five. She pursued ballet early on, before switching focus to theater. After a brief role in her debut film, her performance led her to roles in high-profile projects, underpinning her successful career trajectory.
